I should post a link to the formal Lawton "Bud" Chiles III announcement for governor of Florida as an independent. The following article has a video link at the bottom.

Walkin' with Bud
The Miami Herald sounds off on the 21st century Walk across Florida. As noted here, there is a conflict in the campaign between techniques new and old. What role can internet social networking play in this campaign? What role should it play?

Return to Munn Park
Munn Park, the title of the first chapter in my book, will be featured tomorrow by the Bud Chiles for Governor campaign as the site of its kick-off. What a gorgeous and historic setting.
Unlike most campaign events, this will be a walk and rally! This is the park where Lawton Chiles, in his boyhood, used to listen to the luminary orators like Gov. Spessard Holland. Then, it was a spectator sport as much as football is today.
Here is the PDF flyer.
If you haven't already, do check out the home page for the "Walk with Bud" campaign website.
Se ve toda la historia de la campana aca!

Black Gold Blues
New, independent gubernatorial candidate Lawton "Bud" Chiles III spoke in Pensacola today about the BP oil debacle.
More news on the book front soon. Last week was a wonderful break with good food, good people, and great special events.
Now, time to push on to the finish line.

Draft 2 Done
Time to now consider avenues for publication...and concurrently, avenues for editing. This is a different sort of editing, a world apart from editing that I did months ago.
When you still work with an unfinished manuscript, where whole chapters struggle for structure and theme, the author focuses on the struggle for structure and theme. With a finished manuscript whose chapter titles are well-chosen, the editing process narrows to the struggle for perfect details.
What detail, for example, will best show how pivotal a final debate was to a campaign?
What detail can give the background paragraph at a chapter's start the perfect punch? Should it be an anecdote quoting a key staffer, or my own words?
Perhaps that is the single most important decision--one that permeates every chapter in a quote-heavy work like this. Where does the authorial narration end and the character narration begin? What sounds best artistically and what is most accurate?
