Wrote Frankenstein... Watch the movie.....One of my favorite.....Also her husband took the credit for writing...,so when I think about her.....I think....if she wrote in a drafty cold castle by candle light.....What am I complaing about?

Casting Your Characters

 I am a movie buff.....I love movies especially the old black and white movies from the 1930's and 1940's Doyou every think of what actor would play your character? Do you see your story as a movie in your head? As I write a scene..I see it playing out in my head....I see the opening image.  I see the finale....I see the film credits... As I fill out my characters....I jot down the actor I think would be a good fit for the character...they could be dead or alive. Think about it
