Elementary Interview…
When something odd happens to you as a young boy, you never really forget that oddity. After moving to Phoenix, Arizona without much notice from my mom, I think I became more aware of what was going on around me, even at my young age. And I did question my mom many times about how…

Holidays Shared…
You might think I am talking about just the December holidays. Well, this year it was going to be a bit different.

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?

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
