How about you? Who in history was born on the same day as you? Or how about historical events? If you have a dig, you might find something that inspires a story... just as the fearsome voivode of Transylvania captured the imagination of a middle-aged Irish novelist over a century ago.
If you'd rather read a classic than write one this weekend, Dracula is available for download from Gutenberg.

I put my birthday in Google and honestly didn't know who most of those who share the date were. I'd say three or four were names I did recognize. Guess nine months earlier was not a sexy month.
ReplyDeleteI've never read Dracula. Might download it.
I almost have Albert Einstein, but I was a little too eager to arrive in this world ;-)
