I'd be a student at Hogwarts, then become a professor. I'd discover new magical paradigms; its curriculum could use some improvement.
Also, heaven is a fictional place alluded to in a book, and it sounds like a great place, so I'd go there too, but I'm really concerned about false advertising in this case...

I really don't have specific books planned to read; I like to be surprised. I am reading information needed to further my work doing script consulting for TV shows and movies, and am working on a play based on the Maestro Satriano book.

I get to share my thoughts with others.

Write because you want to communicate (and feel a need to communicate something) sans the desire to make money.

I turned my book, Maestro Satriano, into a play with music. The table read will be sometime this summer. I have written the first draft of a second play called Frances. It is about my aunt, who was musically talented also, and likely a child prodigy, but she was not encouraged to develop her skill or work as a musician.

Writing it came very naturally and easily. I was inspired because the main subject of my book, Pietro Satriano, was an interesting person and he was my great-great uncle.

All of my life, I heard that I had a well-known, very respected great-great uncle who was a musician. About 10 years ago, I started investigating the life of Pietro Satriano, and found numerous newspaper articles about him, interviewed family and contacted historians. All the information was fascinating (a child prodigy, first performance in America at age 11, playing trumpet with an opera company on the east coast, divorced twice in the late 1800s). Media people ask, "Why did you write the book?" My response is always, "How could I not write a book about him?"
