Book Of Days Play

This play by Lanford Wilson has really brought together a great cast and a great group of people. There must be at least five different story lines involved in the show that all come together at the end and meld into one great big one. There is a Joan of Arc line, a cheese line, a murder line, an affair line, a promiscuous teacher line, and problems with a play director and the reverend of the church. Everybody in this town has issues.

I have seen the show about five times now, and it keeps getting better each time. I keep catching things I missed the last show. It does pay to see a show mire than once I say. I am fascinated at the cast and how different some of them are from there characters. You see someone as a character and I guess you automatically think that is how they are in life. I am fascinated that some are 180 degrees the other direction and nothing like their characters.

My son is a great example. His character is devilish and mean at times. He is just a gentle-natured fellow. So it is interesting to see him portray evil and mean characters because I know he is not like that in real life. He also employs a mean southern accent for this show.

It has been a great show and learning experience each night for me. I hope to see it a couple of more times and see something new each time. Hopefully by the end of the show, I will have figured out all the plot lines and who really killed who!

Ghost Book

I have been researching different locals around Goochland and Charlottesville to see what haunted places there may be available to visit. I have found a plethora of interesting sites and want to check them out. I will see how it goes. It will take me a while, but I am really interested in seeing what I can get. I think if nothing else, I will get to see some interesting sites and visit some neat hotels and bed and breakfasts. They also get free publicity. What could be better?

I have found interesting stories for most of the places so will capitalize on them and interview people as I go to see if I can dig up anything else. I think this is going to be a neat weekend project and picture taking forage to see many sights up and down the 64 corridor here in western Virginia.

Publishing my stories

Well, it was exciting to get one of my stories published in October 2014 in a horror anthology. It gave me the needed kick I needed to work on finishing a couple other projects I had been wanting to finalize. They were a nursing manual, a paranormal romance, and a medical thriller. I just placed the finishing touches on my nursing manual, and I am now awaiting the publisher to get back to me so we shall see how it goes.

Another friend has given me an idea for a ghost book which I am researching to see if I could actually follow through and get some good fodder on for a decent book. It looks like some great stuff so far. We shall see, I see lots of great stories so far. I am just in the preliminary stages right now though.

My paranormal romance is up to 7500 words so I am getting a good start. I worked on it during NANOWRIMO some more. Now that I have finished the Nursing Manual, I have more time to commit to working on this one. After this one is done, I will finish the medical thriller. Then I guess I will start all over again.

It kind of goes full circle. You start, you research, you finish, you start again. I have all these wild ideas for stories in my head. Let's see how many come to fruition.
