Bob Hostetler - CWI Community Connection Call 9/25/24

How to be (and Stay) Productive as a Writer Bob is the original cool dude and manages to stay that way by reading Shakespeare, keeping up with author trends and learning the newest cool-kid slang. ​ As a multi-genre author, Bob can make sure you Don't Check Your Brains at the Door. He often encourages others with deep thoughts, like ​Life Stinks and Then You Die, and with great advice, like Quit Going to Church. Oh, but Don't Close Your Eyes if you have SweetTarts, because Bob might make them disappear. But when he says I Dream a Dream for You, be encouraged—Bob is full of great ideas to help writers, and he even stayed overtime to answer questions. (In case you're wondering, yes, this write up includes a bunch of his titles.) Connect with Bob at bobhostetler.com.
