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.

  • Holidays Shared…

    You might think I am talking about just the December holidays. Well, this year it was going to be a bit different. My best friend and his family being Jewish meant that I was about to experience something very new. And very different. Since his family basically adopted me and my mom, including my mom’s…

  • Bahamas Vacation 2024 – Part FOUR…

    The Boat – We have been bringing the Grandparent’s boat over to the island for several years now. And I will note that vacationing in the islands with your own boat has many advantages. Before bringing the Grandparent’s boat over to the island for vacation, Granddad would arrange to rent or borrow a boat so…

  • Bahamas Vacation 2024 – Part THREE…

    The Island – Green Turtle Cay is only about one mile wide at its widest point and about three miles long. It sets directly on the Atlantic Ocean so in the morning we look directly eastward. At night, we can see so many stars, and sometimes it is so clear that we can see star…

  • I Discovered The Moon…

    Have you ever had that experience of extreme excitement in your youth when you discover something new for the first time. You know What I mean, that goose bumps moment. This recalled memory is of the day when I had one of those moments. It is morning recess at my new school. I remember standing…

  • 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…
