Website & Navigation Tip

I have now posted over 90 story vignettes on my website. Many of my vignette writings exceed the common “less than 1,000 word count” typically presented in this writing style. My writings have been evolving over time and I am proud of this evolution. I have now recognized that there are many potential publishing projects developing in this website, both in the fiction and non-fiction genres.

Should I consider actively seeking Literary Agent representation?

To easily navigate my website, select My Writings in the Menu Bar to be directed to the current list of my vignette writings. These writings of my memories appear in the Parts and Eras from when they occurred. Select the Vignette Title link in the Era that captures your interests to learn more about this part of my story.

  • Why I Write…

    When I started my personal story blog website, my writing was a therapeutic exercise to reconcile with everything going on in my world at that time. After surviving a Widow Maker Heart Attack that for most people is fatal, and as part of my overall recovery, I sought out therapeutic support to help me resolve…

  • Lunch At The Bunny’s Place…

    Well, my birthday party this year was awesome. And after the party I now have more new friends and a new best friend. I think that this is the time in my life when I discovered what a best friend is and what an inseparable bond feels like. In life, you only get so many…

  • A New Friend…

    We are all moved in now. From what I remember, my clothing selection was small and not well suited for the desert heat. I did have some shorts and T-shirts, and a bathing suit which was basically an old pair of shorts. It was my first full day in this new place. My mom was…

  • Going West…

    For some reason we quickly moved out of our house in the later part of the summer in 1964. This was just before my 9th birthday. And I do not know why. Our moving journey was by car, and I think it was in a station wagon because of its size. I do not remember…

  • My Young Body…

    From what I remember, my friend’s older brother, who was only a few years older than me I think, took an interest in me, and I felt his interest was a special one. One day he asked me to go to the woods with him. He had always been nice to me and his younger…

Introduction…

I chose a blog platform to share my story of recovery and change over a prolonged period of time since my story cannot be captured in a simple writing as it is still evolving. As my story continues to evolve, I plan to reveal my story in vignettes from past memories and from recent activities. Using this format, what I am looking to do first is to share this life changing event that could have ended my time here in this world along with my recovery and new discoveries about myself. I will then insert the setting of new life goals and interlace past memories that might help in your understanding of where I have come from, and where my rebuilding and new discoveries may take me.

So, this is the first time I am sharing my story of recovery and new beginnings after experiencing a life changing event. While I am not sure this story will be of interest to anyone, I feel that sharing my story might help to encourage others to know that how you respond to life changing events will help you with your vision of where your future can go. Please join me in my journey of recovery, change and new beginnings.

My story begins on November 3rd, 2023
