As I constantly say in my Newsletters, I cannot keep pace with time anymore! I wonder if you are all feeling the same. I marvel at how Lord R.e.Taylor can do all the things he does on the Internet and write books and a daily poem and interact constantly with family and friends. Mind you I have never been a housewife before Parts of it like the garden I love, but repetitive cleaning, cooking, and managing accounts and health I find a total bore. My hats off to all who constantly do these chores. I suppose that is why I am a writer, as I like change writing or editing stories is so fulfilling and of course working on music sends me into a real whirl of happiness, and so does working with Rob on all our projects! Cooking should offer the same stimulus, I adore watching cooking shows, or eating some of the great cakes Lord. R.e.Taylor invents, mind you the cleaning up after he has finished is not the best treat but his cakes sure are! He made Brownies the other day with added raisins etc. and they were to die for! Health wise we have both been in a bit of a stew lately, but we are now both back on track and once again the joy of creativity is surging forth. Rob is working on a short new story as I speak, and I have decided to do all within my power to find funding and support for my Musical ‘Charlie Cinderfella’. If you go to our web page and look at the Menu on the right, halfway down, you will see the name “Charlie Cinderfella” click on it and you will be taken to the page, and if you have the time listen to four on the songs from the show and read the synopsis. I have written a Broadway Musical ‘Just by Bloomie’s’, and another Australian Musical, ‘The Gold Coast International’. For now, I have decided to work on Charlie, as it is fun and has a good message for all those with dreams and aspirations, and I know the music has loads of potential. I pray people will leave the theatre feeling truly uplifted. I also need to possibly talk to an animation producer, as I think ‘Charlie Cinderfella’ could work very well as an animated television film. If you can spare the time your opinions on what you hear and read would be greatly appreciated. I have just finished a tightened-up re-write. I have already paid to record eight songs, and still have many more to do. I once worked with Shirley Bassey’s Musical Director Arthur Greenslade on several songs from my Musical ‘Just by Bloomie’s’. What I wouldn’t give to work with him now on ‘Charlie Cinderfella’, but alas he is no longer here. So, I am now looking for a partner to write and share the rest of the music with, all lyrics are completed and the rest of the melodies in my head, waiting for that special someone. Who will soar with me to the mountaintop and make this dream come ALIVE! I also strongly feel R.e.Taylor’s, ‘Aussie Yarns and Australian Legendary Folklore, would also make an incredible television series. His stories are unique in every book he writes but being an Australian I sure love this one! Mine name is on it but that is not really deserved it is all totally Rob’s incredible imagination, and I now also think with hindsight the title should have been much shorter! It is also available as an eBook so do take a decko (Aussie term for look) and you will be incredibly pleased you did! A review on Amazon would also be greatly appreciated! Well once again I had planned to keep this short, but I do no think short exists in my vocabulary. We, so pray all of you are surviving this Corona Virus changing world, it is scary how it has affected all our lives. Please stay safe and let us move forward with love and compassion realizing all that is good in this world and think for ourselves and not be indoctrinated with how others want us to think. I do believe if given the chance the pen is mightier than the sword, that is if we are not held captive by survival and the almighty dollar! STAY SAFE Love Lizzie W and Lord R.e.Taylor. Blog/ Lizzie W. 2021 A Warning from Lizzie W. I have so often said to Lord.R.e.Taylor as his partner and business partner, “Do not post that Rob, you may offend your followers, who have a different viewpoint, and do not feel as you do.” Sometimes he listens and sometimes he does not! Very possibly, I am in the wrong, for what I care about is fans who will buy our books. I am always neutral, I always play it safe, but now I am not going to play it safe. They say the pen is more powerful than the sword, yes, that is true if they allow you to use your pen. Today the pen has been replaced by the computer and social media. I am scared that our words on the Internet, are losing their power, that we are all, no matter what our viewpoint, being manipulated. I will confess for the first time, as I want to strongly make my concern heard, I am 79 years of age and have seen a lot in this world. Good, things and bad things, but I have always faced life with optimism I have always taken the freedom of speech for granted, it is part of the system I grew up with, and as a writer, I have always tried to not offend anyone. I lived in America for eighteen years and loved every moment of it, a warm wonderful country that welcomed me with open arms! So, whether rightly or not, I feel part of America as well as part of my birth country Australia As stated in a previous blog. For the eighteen years, that I was a resident in New York City, at that time dual citizenship did not exist! Unhappily my Mother became so hysterical when I phoned her in Australia to tell her I was going to take out American citizenship. Because of her dismay that I was going to relinquish my Australian heritage. I refrained from becoming an American citizen, happily believing I would reside in America where I had established, a great career, love, and friends. Unfortunately, not realizing that one day I would be in Australia, and due to not receiving Government funding for a television show I had planned to produce, I was unable to afford to return to America within the residency time limit. At that time, it broke my heart, but now I am extremely glad! One never knows when dark clouds lead to happiness. Firstly, because fate would never have led me to meet Lord.R.e.Taylor on the Internet, and secondly because right now Australia is the country, I want to be a part of. At present Australia stands for the principles I believe in, how long that will last, I do not know. COVID-19 is a virus that spreads unforeseen and can destroy. So also, in my opinion, is censorship. A free press and freedom to express views on social media is what Democracy is all about! I personally watch CNN and I watch Fox News, as an informed writer I wish to hear two entirely different points of view. As an Australian who does so, it is obvious, that both follow extremely different political views. In my observation, CNN only ever gives one viewpoint. Fox at least tries at times to give both points of view. Today I heard people with an extreme opposite point of view are trying to close Fox News Down. Of course, there are extremists on both sides, but to call a different point of view and land it in a White Supremacist basket is more than unfair it is obscene! Are black people who lean towards the right in politics White Supremacists??? A two-party system is everything, let us all stand up and fight for a right to vote for whoever we think fit to Govern, but to always have the choice of an opposing point of view. If not Communism and Socialism is the rule of the day, and the right is hobbled. All fair people want is a choice, a Press that allows its reporters to be free not to be dictated to by big Tech, or anyone one with money, or extreme views who line their pockets with our silent voices. Mine sadly can be silent no longer! Elizabeth Waterhouse |
