Fiorella the Bard

Fiorella sent her full manuscript off to her editor last night at 9:43 pm and is now free to act like a human being until the revisions come in.

But she can't help but reflect on various aspects of her book, like why her heroine was a woman who had been hired by a small Texas town to direct its civic theater.  Probably because Fio has a fair amount of theater experience and knows people who can fill in the blanks.  But it also might be because, as an author, Fio is a director herself.  She sets up her characters and gives them roles to play, roles which they must stay true to in order to make the "play" come out right.

Every fiction writer is his own Shakespeare.  Think about it.

Kill-off

Greetings, friends and followers.  Fiorella is trying to figure out how Colin Sanger died.  Colin was an A-list movie star, and now that he's dead, Moira Farrar, his widow, is so far down Hollywood's alphabet list that she's had to hire out to Bosque Bend's fledgling civic theater group--where she runs up against strapping hunk Jon McAlister.  Need Fio say more?

But, back to the topic, how did Colin die?  Stabbed by a rabid fan? Auto-erotic accidental suicide? Overdose? Swiped by a low-flying 'copter?  Poison poured in his ear?  Ah, the possibilities are endless.
