Halloween

Tonight, as everybody knows, is Halloween and all the little ghosts and goblins are going to be knocking on our door for treats.
Hopefully, they won't clean us out because wife Sandy got miniature Hershey bars to give to the kids and I really love those things. If all goes well, we'll have a bunch of them left over for me.
I still don't know if we're going to do that excerpt from my play, JOLSON, for the Jewish War Veterans benefit. Not only do we need to find an actor who can do it, but they also have to be able to put in the rehearsal time to pull it off. And, time is running out.
Meanwhile, I've started work on a new novel.
It's a multiple character piece, ala BEST IN SHOW and NASHVILLE. I'm not going to discuss the premise, but I am approaching this project differently than my earlier works in that I'm going to write the chapters that define my key characters before I lock in the specifics of the plot.
This will not be a fast write.
Have a safe and creative Halloween.
Michael
