This Thanksgiving is the first for the Rogues Gallery Writers. Even though we've been together for going on three years, we were originally known as the Legare Gang. Everyone has something to be thankful for in this life. Sometimes we are blinded by the challenges we face, but we all have some morsel to truly cherish.
With respect to the Rogues, I am thankful for being associated with talented writers who are dedicated to furthering their knowledge of craft AND furthering their writing careers. This gig (writing) is not for the faint-of-heart. Writing requires, yes I mean requires, dedication, perseverance, discipline and constant maintenance.
This load can be more than heavy. It can crush your spirit. There are times when you feel you will never move forward. Times when you feel you can't write a simple sentence much more a brilliant one. Therefore, reveling in the company of fellow strugglers is something to be more than thankful for, even more than grateful for.
We walk through the writing battlefield together. We have each others backs. We're there when one of us needs an encouraging word. We're there with honest critiques.
Thank you fellow Rogues. I hope I can give back all that I get from you.

Rogue Book Signing and Short Story Contest
Saturday September 19th is getting closer and closer. Two Rogues will be signing books, selling paintings and most importantly, selling official Rogues Gallery Writers T's! (Ok, so the book and paintings may be THEIR priority this particular day, but the T's are a great buy!).
The Rogue Gallery Writers are very proud of Panthera and DarkThorn (aka Tracy McDurmon and Michael Ray King). We support our own whether we do a project as a team or individual. Writing is Easy, the Rogues joint venture, continues in the editing phase. The deadline to enter our short story contest is fast approaching, so if you're thinking about entering, it's time to do more than think. Action is key here!
The Rogues Gallery Writers are gearing up for many projects and ventures that will be sure to please many. I would recommend you start following this blog so you can keep abreast of what's happening. It is sooooooooooo easy. Simply click on the "Follow" icon on this page. Then, follow your nose and follow the Rogues down paths you never knew existed! You'll soon learn why it's hard to keep a good Rogue down!

Book Signing for Two Rogues!
September 19, 2009 will be a great day for two of our own - Panthera and DarkThorn. Sure, they'll be in their mild-mannered Clark Kent and Lois Lane personas, tricking the world into believing they live normal, peaceful lives, but underneath, they're still Rogues.
In the guises of Michael Ray King (poet) and Tracy McDurmon (artist), they'll be chirpily signing their new book - Loves Lost and Found at The Source in Palm Coast, Florida. The Source is located in the Marvin's Gardens shopping center on Moody Blvd. The signing is from 4:00pm to 8:00pm. There should be quite a crowd, so come early if you want a copy of their book.
I think everyone should go just to see them pretend 'not' to be Rogues. Actually, they're supposed to be bringing official Rogues Gallery Writers T-shirts to sell, so I suppose that means they'll be acknowledging their Roguishness. Possibly this dual personality display will cause them to become schizo or something. Nonetheless, everyone should come out to the signing to support our fellow Rogues.
If they seem normal and fine upstanding citizens at first glance, don't let them fool ya. Underneath they're Rogue through and through. Pick up an official T while you're there and let the world know - the Rogues Gallery Writers are on the move!
