Ok so if he's not published how does he make his living? He may write under a different name. If he does have another profession he's not spilling.
I realize these people are bored but there are many topics they can be discussing..like "So what kind of writing do you do?" "Maybe I have read some of your work." But NOOOOOOOOOO we have to talk sex ALLLLLLLL the time. In competetions it's more likely they will ask questions based on jobs than on who gives better ****.

Just a few minutes ago, Roddy told several stories about his bartending, apparently with many years of experience.

I thought Roddy was particularly INarticulate during his nominations speech. Most writers, even if they don't do well as public speakers, can talk to a small group of people (especially people with whom they've been living).

I did a google and Amazon search for any derivation of his name and came up empty. If he really is a writer, I'd love to know what he's written and IF it was published.

FWIW, I'm a writer. Mostly a tech writer, but a paper I wrote was published by Auerbach. I'm also a technical copyeditor, and my name is on the flyleafs of two books (on computer security). My manuals have been published, albeit by the companies for whom I worked.

So does that mean that *I'm* a writer? I don't call myself one!

still, whatever kind of writer he may or may not be, don't you think it's odd that he hasn't spoken about it? i would think he would have. still, maybe he has and i've missed something on the lfp's.

Maybe he talked about it during one of the lengthy FOTH breaks...

Don't waiters take down orders with pens and paper? Doesn't that make Roddy a writer?

Maybe he doesn't talk about his writing because of their contract with CBS. Just speculating.

<<hey, i had something in reader's digest once...i guess i am a published writer. as for travel magazines, maybe he writes romance novels that even truckers are supposedly reading these days, or maybe he sent a letter to camping world or rv times once.>>

Hey, please don't dis the romance novels. I'm a romance novelist (published many times over). It's an extremely tough and competitive field, and very hard to break into. If that was the sort of writing he did, I'd admire at least that about him. Before the novel writing, I was a journalist. I thought maybe Roddy was, too, but not anymore.

As it is, if he's a writer, I'm a professional chef (at least I can boil water.)

He is certainly a writer of fantasies good enough to get him aboard the BB3 ship; may he go down with it.

he could write a message in a bottle.
