The Waiting Room
I’ve always imagined life as a waiting room where we spend our days occupied with personal pursuits. We work towards our goals as we wait for the inevitable moment when our names are called for entry into the next room. Each of us has a story, multiple chapters in fact, reflected by our choices while others are thwarted by the brutal machinations of others. We wait and search for meaning, constantly interrupted by the rumblings of life. Writers are motivated by the need to tell our stories, to examine our beliefs and values. We want to be remembered as we move from our terrestrial waiting room towards the revelations that await us. Opening our minds and hearts to the stories of others gives us pause to find meaning in our lives.
Book Excerpt
Shakespeare's Changeling
On writing dialogue for historical characters, George Bernard Shaw once said that he preferred not to write what he thought the characters had said, but rather, what he thought they would have said if they had known what they were really doing. Retrospect and the judgment of history conspire to allow us to speculate on a character’s thoughts, emotions and deeds. A writer builds well-constructed scenes that show characters involved in the roles they played as history unfolded. As you read this novel, step into the shoes of Lord Oxford, William Shaxper, Queen Elizabeth I, Ben Jonson and others so that you can imagine how you would have performed if you had been that person.
