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.

  • 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…

  • Box Of Memories…

    I am pretty sure that everyone who is reading this piece has a collection of pictures in albums, boxes, or maybe in a picture catalog they have made that reflects many of your memories throughout life. And most of these memories are of good times, family events, maybe even some challenging times. Rarely do any…

  • The Dark…

    Have you ever been so frightened that the experience of that trauma would change how your daily routine would be impacted? And did this experience happen when you were just a kid in your age of innocence? Or did it happen when you were a young teen? Well, my bedtime routine was dramatically changed when…

  • Scary Movie…

    There was a movie theater on the main street going through the heart of Mount Airy, North Carolina in the early 1960’s that played matinee movies on Saturdays for the town’s kids. The movie variety from what I had heard was ok. I had not been to the theater and only heard stories from friends…

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
