Rain things

Things to do on a Rainy Day:

*read a mystery novel
*go through fashion magazines, back to front, looking at every page, tearing out pages where there's something good
*make Nestle's Toll House chocolate chip cookies, putting in raisins as well
*eat some chocolate chip & raisin cookies while watching "The Wizard Of Oz"
*re-design your living space
*write in Writing Practice Notebook
*write in Diary
*watch old movies

------------------------------------------
I don't subscribe to the school of thought that says enter a building complaining, on a rainy day, "Oh it's cloudy, it's depressing." There are many things in Life to deal with sometimes, and some of them are very difficult -- we have to try to never be depressed, and being "depressed" about weather is -- not allowed. In my world.

On an episode of "Frasier" he was writing a play in the style of the classic type -- a dark and stormy night, an "inn" in the country, isolated, a cast of characters, a murder, and who did it? (A "whodunit"...)

Thought I might try writing one on my Blog. On each post I could add something to my version of the Classic Dark Mystery.
The point being, to Practice, to increase my output.

OK: Classic Dark Mystery #493.
Setting: a bed-and-breakfast in Maine.
Cast of Characters: Fitzgerald Henry, guest. Book publisher from New York City.
Joel Epstein, book agent from New York City.
Catherine Cramer, Hollywood actress.

(Back to Cast Of Characters tomorrow.)
