Boulder Writer Gets Ready to Ride the Rails

Good writers find the good stories, and Boulder scribe Erika Krouse is
heading out on a train to discover hers.
.
Krouse is going courtesy of Amtrak, the country's intercity passenger rail
service and whipping boy of fiscal watchdogs.
.
But the 45-year-old Krouse is not worried about controversies. That's
because sometime over the next year, Krouse will travel 4,000 miles by
Amtrak over some of the most stunning country in the United States to be
inspired.
.
"This is dedicated time. No requirements on what we have to write," Krouse
said. "We can be fiction writers, poets, journalists and just, for a time,
be writing."
.
She is among 24 literary types picked out of more than 16,000 applicants
to be in the first group of writers for Amtrak's Residency Program. The
writers will work on projects of their choice while riding one of Amtrak's
long-distance trains.
.
The 24 are from diverse backgrounds including journalism, poetry, science
and even one former CIA operative, according to Amtrak.
.
They were selected based on their desire to work in an "inspiring
environment" on a train and on their writing samples. Starting in October,
about two writers a month will travel on preselected trains, with writers
covering all 15 long-distance routes.
.
.
The complete article may be read at the URL above.

.
This clearly is an educational activity as it is a writer training
program. It also is an instance in which Amtrak has elected to do the
write thing. Those selected will find that they will be paged at various
railroad stations along the way. When it comes to the selection of topics
to cover, the writers are clearly well advised to stay on track. This
writer could, however, get her articles done rapidly if she takes a camera
as a picture is worth one thousand words.
