Thanks for having me… Questions when I’m done.

First theme: Mrs. Smith.. Perry 5th grade.. “Whatever you do….” --------I wrote anyway....I wrote about things like monsters and dragons, and space ships....Then I started writing about the people I grew up with Grandpa...2 fingers cut off 2 donkeys...1 bucked Aunt Lizzie into a tank of water

Glenda… Thought you had to be really smart to write a book.

The best education for playwriting…sit in the audience.

When I knew I was a writer: Tour of Switzerland:

This is unusual today… I’ve nearly stopped speaking on how to write.

Easy to get a big head: Chillocothe.. dead probably..

A Sermon Diary.

Give Genesis of Coonridge.. Hubberville.. “Pooty”

My own hate fan-club in Peoria… Militia members.. Don’t like my remarks about equality of the races.
