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.

  • 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…

  • Zulu Nation…

    I have now completed my first week in Junior High School. My upcoming weekends will be busy doing homework. I need to catch up and it will take multiple weekends to do this. But I am determined to return to a normal routine. I know that September will end quickly, and then it will be…

  • Three Summers…

    A couple days after my encounter with the dead animal carcass, I woke up not feeling well. By the middle of the day, I was throwing up and just looked horrible. My mom helped me get dressed and then took me to the doctor’s office. After the doctor looked me over, he recommended that I…

  • Boys Being Boys…

    I remember that July started off with days of searing heat. It was so hot during the day you could cook an egg on a sidewalk. And the asphalt street was even hotter. Me and my friends decided to conduct the experiment of cooking an egg on a sidewalk. And we used the sidewalk in…

  • Sandstorm…

    The rest of the school year ended up being mostly calm. There were no big challenges to overcome after the start of the school year excitement. I became closer friends with the boy who challenged the flash flood water that fateful end of summer day just after school started since we could more candidly share…

  • Help Him…

    As summer wound down, it was time for the new school year to begin. This school year will be my last year in elementary school. After we moved into our new home, I got sick and developed pneumonia. That put me out of commission for a bit of the summer. But the good news was…

  • A New Home…

    Shortly after the little ceremony where my mom’s boyfriend became my stepdad who I now call dad, they told me that we were going to be moving to a new house that they had just recently decided to buy. Yes, we were going to live in a real house with a front yard, a backyard,…

  • A New Dad…

    A little more than one year after my arm was saved, my mom said that she wanted to talk to me about something. I sat down at our little dining table where she was already sitting. She said to me that her and her boyfriend were going to get married and that he would be…
