A Peek Inside the Haunted Brain of a Writer


 

They say a picture is worth a thousand words.  I'm multiplying that by a factor of 10 with today's picture.  If Mrs. Erie, my 6th grade teacher, could see me now, she would be surprised by what's going on inside my haunted brain.  Maybe I'm still having nightmares from the time she asked me to level up a grade and join the 7th graders as the lead in our school play, A Christmas Carol.  I was asked to play Ebenezer Scrooge in the 11th hour when the original actor got stage fright.  I didn't remember my lines so I got help from someone who was off stage whispering them out to me so wouldn't flunk in front of the whole school.  

Yesterday at my day job I confessed to my new friends, Jeff and Mary, that the inspiration for my first novel came from actual hauntings inside my brain.  I have an eerie feeling that I'm a casualty of something invisible going on in the spiritual realm that carries over into my dreams.  My only remedy is to publish daily and convert these hauntings into books, projects, and creative works.  If you happen to be new to my stories, the picture above offers clues to my past, present, and future.  I will offer two clues.  The ghost of Christmas past is pretty much a dead giveaway.  Place your camera over the ghost of Christmas present to be transported to cyberspace.  The final clue regarding the ghost of Christmas future is a date...8/08/25.  May you live long and prosper.  Have a great day.
