IT’S THOR’S DAY, BY GOLLY!

IT’S said “In the Nordic countries, the Sun (Sunday) and the Moon (Monday) also became the first two days of the week, and the Roman gods became four of the Nordic gods with similarities: Mars became Tyr (Tuesday), Mercury became Odin (Wednesday), Jupiter became Thor (Thursday) and Venus became Frigg (Friday). — https://www.vikingeskibsmuseet.dk/en/.... Okay, but Thor’s day has always been my favorite!

Not that I’m a Thor-like guy, though I’ve experienced life as a physician, actor, author, artist, dancer, educator, naturalist, in the process sowing some of my wild oats — https://janik.yolasite.com. Not that, like Chris Hemsworth, the Marvel Thor, I’m enjoying acting, this year, in STATIC, THE MALTESE COLLECTION, THE PERFECT ILLUSION and FINDING KATE — hey, I am enjoying it thoroughly! Not that I, like many others, wouldn’t decline having Mjölnir, Thor’s Hammer, in my possession to make life simpler and more effective. And not that I wouldn’t like to command the weather, being insured that, at least for those about me, there would never be a dearth of water to drink and bathe in. Nope. Still, I do enjoy celebrating Thursday every Thursday.

Folk lore says that, ruled by Jupiter, Thursdays are days of vast expansion. It’s a day, I sense, when those with talent experience life without limitations. It’s my favorite day for both authoring and acting, and right now, finishing penning PROPHECY, my sequel to THE EDGE OF MADNESS (Aignos 2020) by Raymond Gaynor — https://www.amazon.com/dp/0999693859. What started as a relatively straightforward sequel, “tying up the untied,” has expanded into a new philosophy, spanning multiple worlds as two vastly different women compete for the love and affections of one gifted man, not unlike Thor, a “freak” in some unusual ways with a unique power of his own. Yes, I do write from a mental outline, but more importantly, I learned from a friend and colleague of mine, author A. G. Hayes, to listen closely to my characters as they develop and follow their lead. Especially on Thor’s day.
