I tell stories- That's what I do....

Today is 12/18/2013

yesterday I only wrote 395 words for a total of 13050 Total Words in my new story A DOLL IN THE WOODS. That is no where near what my daily goal is. Which is why I am trying to change up my system. I have started documenting how many words I have written per day, which hope to challenge myself as I change up my system to get these things done. Another thing I may do... is work on the story first- Then write this blog.

Writing is very important to me. It is a constant job. No matter what- I can write and I love it when a story begins writing itself. When I am so involved and the characters begin to come to life. Writing stories constantly keeps my imagination working and is a main ingredient when it comes to bringing worlds to life, which is what I see. Everything that I do, tells a story one way of another. Acting, Singing, Writing, it all tells a story.

As far as a Sunday School Teacher,

The approach I use is very similar to Bibliodrama. I am teaching Drama to kids.

My class age ranges all over from Kindergarden to 6th Grade. I was given a work book that has the stories from the bible I am suppsed to be teaching every week. I use those stories.... but instead of using the work books- I have the students read the stories out loud. Sometimes the older read them, sometimes the younger read them and I have the older kids help them... either way... they are read. Then We divide the characters up between the students and we act out the entire scene from the bible. Afterwards, we sit down and discuss what we just acted out. Not just what we acted out.... but how they feel about what we just acted out... each students interpretation of wehat is going on.

What makes this even cooler is that I have moved the classroom in to The Fellowship Hall which is where the stage is being rebuilt in my fathers name The John R. Inlow Memorial Stage.They get to act on the stage!!!!

Once again, stories. Not only and I teaching kids stories, I am teaching them the art of presenting stories and rebuilding the stage is providing a place for other people and groups a place for them to tell stories. The stage is being rebuilt in my fathers name, The John R. Inlow Memorial Stage. I loved my father alot he was a great father. He also loved stories.

I am still $20,000 dollars away from getting this stage fixed and even after that it will always be a work in progress..... people can make donations at
