Warning: Some Violence and Much Strong Language.SHE WROTE: Spa Moot
First, I have no spare time. I never relax. Unlike Bob, shown here relaxing with Roxanne (Rocki) St. Claire and Moot in Cocoa Beach, pre-makeover. That is, Moot is pre-makeover, not Bob or Roxanne, who are perfect just as they are.
Second, one of you would have pointed out, after the book came out, that Moot was a girl in the book but the mascot was male, although there wasn't anything intrinsically male about the figurine except that it wasn't girly female. Which I didn't notice because most of the time, I don't do that girly stuff either. I came out of the bedroom in Hilton Head and Bob and the media trainer were waiting for me so I sat down and worked. Eventually she said, "We should talk about make-up." I said, "Oh, I wear make-up. But only when I have to go somewhere." That isn't the grocery. I suppose I should have put it on for her--for Bob I don't bother--but I just got up, for cripe's sake. It was like 8:30 in the morning.
Where was I?
Right, making Moot girly. Here she is:
I'm expecting all the hair to fall out as we drag her all over the place with us on the road, but my hair will probably fall out, too, so that's fair.
And Bob's right. We need lives.
Must go write a book now. Making up an interesting life for a fictional character. Sigh.
PS:
Just got this from Bob:
"Moot looks pathetic now.
Sigh."
"Girly" does not mean "pathetic," Bob.
Sheesh.

This is why I will never be as good a writer as Jenny. My thought processes are just too normal.
I love Moot! I know I've already said that, but I do...male or female.
Okay, I understand that you guys need lives, but what about your blogees, so to speak? What does it say about our lives that the most exciting (and rewarding) thing we can think of is to rush home so we can read your latest entries? Can't speak for anyone else, but thank goodness I've got you on my To Do list, otherwise I might have to work my way down to grocery shopping or changing my bed...
Moot does not look pathetic, Moot looks fabulous!
And so does the new blog template - way to go Mollie you hot babe you.
Bob should look so good in fuschia lipstick. Wonder if he'd let us paint little glittery flowers on his toenails so he could explore his feminine side a bit? He looks amenable in the latest posted photo. Or is that just the beer?
Moot needs a ditty to goes with the new outfit. Perhaps, set to music of margaritaville?
It may have been that the photo was taken at the end of a long day in which he'd presented four workshops.
He might have been contemplating if the base of the Moot-palm tree statue could smash the tiny camera with one good hit.
Moot is looking good. You have a life. Y'all have just chosen lives that entertain the masses. Way to go!
And I never wear makeup, who says you have to?
I think all Moot needs now is a little cocktail glass with a little tiny swizzle stick...and maybe a cherry.
A girly gator...no wonder your doing his head in.
Hey, bdv, I have more life than I can handle, thank you very much. I check the blog to help me keep my sanity. Because if you spent all day with 19 five year olds, you would get a little wacky at times, too. So I log in every now and then for a dose of the real world--or the unreal world. I guess it depends on how you look at it.
I am not sure about the makeup LOL. I think the woman probably meant you Mizz Crusie :)
That she Moot looks just like the next door neighbour lady from my childhood. Scary.
Oh, and her name was Lola and she was a showgirl.
Moot's definitely a girl. But that palm tree looks like it's got some grande cajones hanging off of it.
Why do Moot's palm leaves match Rocki (?)'s name badge ?
"Eventually she said, "'We should talk about make-up'."
I can not imagine Bob talking about make-up.
I think that what Moot really needs now is a cocktail. With an umbrella. A pink one.
Perhaps Bob could do with one too?
You two make me smile. You don't need to write fiction. You're real lives are interesting enough. I can certainly see where you get your inspiration from though. :)
Now that Moot has gone platinum, with lipstick and some kickin' flowers, I think she is just crying out for a black leather jacket.
Ocassionaly thru the year I browse my list of favorite authors and update my New Book list for that year so I don't miss any. I'm obsessive and for these authors I have to have the book the day it is released. Crusie has been on my list since "Getting Rid of Bradley" (oh no! dead dog!). So I was wandering thru Amazon.com and it said she's got a new book coming in April and I follow the bouncing ball to this website and blog and WOW! I am so looking forward to Moot's book which is how I'll remember it years from now when I can't remember the title. (And Jennie I had to laugh when I read the inside cover on your recent re-release because for years I have tried to remember what that book was about the dog ... it was the only thing I could remember clearly!)
Bob, I haven't read your books before (I don't much hang out at military bases, sorry) but if the blogs are anything to go buy I think this partnership is destined for greatness!
I'm looking forward to following your creative path through the year. Thanks for letting us in!
Sorry, but I liked Moot better before. May have something to do with the fact that I'm something of a boyish-girl, and not a girly-girl.
::Sigh::
Romance novels need more women who don't do the girly-girl thing but still find true love.
