She was a stage and vaudeville actress for several years before her film career.īonnell died of liver failure on March 14, 1964, at age 58 in Santa Monica, California. In the film Plane Nuts, she plays a 'fourth stooge', working as a partner to Moe, Larry, and Curly as they torment Healy during his stage act. Career Īccording to Stooges biographers, she was also Healy's offscreen girlfriend during that time. That is what life is all Bonnell (Aug– March 14, 1964) was an actress who played 'straight woman' in seven early short comedies, most of which featured the Three Stooges when they worked with Ted Healy, between 19. That, in its own way, feeds the creative process. It often touches me and challenges me to think in new ways. Discussion with readers always intrigues me and inspires me. Everyone perceives a story and each character in a unique way. It is fascinating to listen to readers express how they have responded to characters and plots. Writing and sharing also creates connection. Taking those characters and immersing them into a situation and discovering how each responds to the same situation is exhilarating. One of the greatest joys, for me, is creating characters who are layered, and who have dramatically different back stories from each other, and from my own life. It also allows me to investigate my own emotions and ideas through perspectives that differ from mine. Writing allows me to explore places, times, experiences, relationships, and emotions that I may never experience in my own life. I love to watch people and imagine what a stranger's story might be. I have a constant flow of ideas and stories that roll through my thoughts. Some of the best ideas and the greatest lessons are formed during the pauses. And, writing, like life requires those every so often. I've learned to listen to my gut my heart. That only deepens and prolongs the problem.

The worst thing for me is forcing myself, or berating myself for feeling 'stuck'. It often helps to just get the natural flow back. I might listen to some music, read a bit, take a walk, and then I write about what I felt almost like writing in a journal. Most times, I step back and try to write something completely different. Sometimes, they indicate a need to step away and I do. Many times I regard my writing as 'stale' in these periods. Many times writer's block is more about not 'feeling' the story at least for me.
