MY BLESSINGS: A VERY GOOD DAY

It would be an absolute lie if I said that I'd never dreamed of seeing one of my books on the New York Times Best Sellers List. I think that it's every writer's dream to have their stories reach as many people as possible. But, what is equally satisfying (at least to me) is receiving a letter from someone who was moved or touched by the words you'd written. And that's exactly what happened to me yesterday, Friday (May 2, 2014). I woke up to an email message from a high school student in Japan that instantly put a big ol' smile on my face, as her email letter went on to explain how her class had read one of my novels as an assignment and that she had identified with and really liked one of the characters in the story. Yes, it's true that I would love to see exceptionally high book sale numbers, but these personal letters from readers are a real blessing and  just as golden to me as the big numbers on a sales chart.

And later during the day, I was honored with two scholarships (The David R. Conley Memorial Perseverance Scholarship and The Hank Pirowski Scholarship) at the Annual ECC Scholarship Luncheon in Williamsville, NY, and what made that event so special was that I was blessed to share it with one of my most dearest friends, Karen (the one with the dark hair). So, yes indeed, my Friday was a very Good Day...full of Blessings. - Randolph Randy Camp


SYMBOLISM IN STORIES... During a recent classroom book talk discussion, several students had surprised me when they had told me what the 'false dandelions', '29 dimes', and 'wet matches' meant to them when they'd read each of my novels. I must say, I was truly blown away with some of the students' interpretations of my use of symbols in my stories. As a writer, I love using symbols because sometimes they make the reader think beyond my own thoughts and initial intentions.
