Today marks the 449th b-day of this literary genius. Whenever anyone asks me which author I'd like to meet, I always say this guy. Why? I'd ask him where he got his inspiration for all his plays. I'd ask how long it took him to write each play. I'd ask him if he really wrote all of them (ya know, 'cuz there's all that controversy he didn't.) I'd ask him if he would want to keep writing feather quill on paper, or if he'd want to try his hand at writing on the computer. I'd ask him if/how he revises since he can't really copy and paste like I do. I'd see what writing tips he'd like to share with me. I'd take him to see a play and see what he thinks of theater now (with women acting, whoa!). Or I'd go back into his time and see him perform in his own play in the Globe Theater.
Happy birthday Will!!
