Website & Navigation Tip

I have now posted over 80 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.

  • Return…

    Just before the new school year was about to begin, our bags were packed again and sitting by the door of the house where we were staying. We had barely been in North Miami Beach for two weeks. Once again, we were going somewhere, and this time we were going back home to Las Vegas….

  • Two Weeks Gone…

    I was a year younger than my mom’s friend’s older son and a few months older than his younger brother. The three of us were close in age but very different visually. I had brown hair and hazel-colored eyes. They had reddish blondish colored hair and brown-green eyes. Maybe more brown than green though. They…

  • Escape…

    My mom told me to dress in nice clothes, the clothes I wore on the plane to California. I remember that we left the house quickly once the cab arrived. When we got into the cab my mom told the driver to take us to the airport. We were flying to our next place to…

  • The Shower…

    The flight back from California was very much like my flight to California. My friend’s family escorted me to the check in counter. From there they walked with me down to the gate where I would board the plane. We said our goodbyes with big powerful hugs. And then it was time for me to…

  • Beverly Hills Bar Mitzvah…

    I survived my first year of junior high. It was now time to reconnect with my best friend from my brief time living in Arizona. My friend was having his Bar Mitzvah, and I had received my invitation in the mail and would be his special guest. We had stayed connected over the years by…

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
