I vaguely remember attempting to read Macbeth out of a high school textbook when I was in elementary school. My first real memory of Shakespeare is of checking out a book from the junior high library that was a sort of simplified version of The Tempest, Love's Labor Lost, and one other play that now escapes me. That book fascinated me. I'll confess that I didn't really get a feel for Shakespeare until college, although bits and pieces of dialogue would stick with me in my high school classes. (Nothing like "You blocks, you stones, you worse than senseless things!) Even now, I love pulling up SparkNotes and reading the "translation" to the side or going to the Shakespeare Tavern where they act out the jokes so no one misses them.

Do you have a definite day or time scheduled to sit and write or are you an on the go writer? Is it better for example to write while at the airport or at a kids' sporting event or while waiting at the doctor appointment in the waiting room? Is your focus better sitting in your favorite southern restaurant or locked away in an office in your house for example? Terri Foschini
