Thursday Thirteen #25

This is the third of a three part series. See Part 1: General Subject Areas and Part 2: Specific Topics In Support of Essay Thesis or Tangible Goal.

For an explanation of the library closure we are facing here in Southern Oregon April 6th see my post, Southern Oregon's Looming Library Closure.

Thirteen Research Projects Which Will Be Impacted By the Impending Library Closure Part 3 Projects Related to My Fictional Works In Progress 1. Lupus. The mother of a protagonist in a YA novel suffers from this while the protagonist is obsessed with the life and writings of Flannery O'Conner who died from it in the early sixties. 2. The Life and Writings of Flannery O'Conner. See #1. 3. Autism and Asperger's Syndrome. Kirk, the young son of the protagonist of Brooding Instinct, (the novel from my second NaNoWriMo attempt and one of the Fruits of the Spirit story world novels) suffers from the latter which is possibly a high-functioning form of the former. 4. Fictional World Building. For a Sci-Fantasy Novel or possible series. 5. Physical Therapy. Julia from the Fruits of the Spirit story world worked as a physical therapist for injured soldiers when she was in the military. see #2 of my Thursday Thirteen #13 6. Visual Impairment. Marion from my short story, How Does Your Garden Grow, has popped into two of the Fruits of the Spirit novels as a major supporting character and may end up with her own novel length story. Can a Psychiatrist continue to practice after loosing her eyesight? 7. Shakespearean Theater. Estelle Star from the Fruits of the Spirit story world is a Shakespearean actress. see #9 of my Thursday Thirteen #13 8. Teaching Theory, especially as it applies to teaching special needs children. Iris from my short story, Blow Me a Candy Kiss, has popped into Brooding Instinct to work with Kirk--see #3 above. 9. Undercover Police Investigations. Brick Lawson,the father of a protagonist works as an undercover cop in the 'drug wars' and she becomes a pawn who is used almost as ruthlessly by the 'good' guys as by the 'bad'. see #11 of my Thursday Thirteen #13 10. Documentary Film Making. Troll and Jerrica Holmes travel the world making independent documentaries. see #12 & #13 of my Thursday Thirteen #13 11. Music from the perspective of a music teacher. Faye, from the Fruits of the Spirit story world, teaches both piano, voice and music appreciation. see #1 of my Thursday Thirteen #13. 12. Music from the perspective of a performing artist. Fancy is a country western vocalist. She and her daughter Breezy co-wrote the lyrics to her first major hit single: Making Rag Doll Babies and Million Dollar Maybes. see #6 & #7 of my Thursday Thirteen #13. 13. Religious Cults. This is a major theme running through the entire Fruits of the Spirit story world where every major character and many minor ones are either affiliated with, attempting to part ways with or hoping to extricate a loved one from a Fundamentalist Christian Cult that has split into two antagonistic camps--one isolationist and the other militant. Sometimes it is just an undercurrent but often it will become the focus of the plot of a particular story or novel as in the novel to which my contribution to the Write Stuff Creative Carnival last week, A Tale of a Wail, belongs.
