Website & Navigation Tip

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?

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.

  • Another Running…

    Did you think I was running away from home again? Nope, this is a completely different running I am happy to write about. In early spring I tried out for my junior high school track team and was selected to be one of the long-distance runners for my grade level. I was so surprised to…

  • A Promise…

    On the way home, maybe around 100 miles or so from Las Vegas, the silence was broken between my mom and me. Before that, I knew that I did fall asleep shortly after the tire blowout incident. And my mom and I were not really talking to each other. It was mostly quiet. I was…

  • Beverly Hills Cops…

    As I was speeding down the street, I saw a police car in the distance in front of me that was stopped at a red light that I was now approaching. I slowed down and pulled up alongside the police car. I motioned for the police officer to roll down his window. He did and…

  • Running…

    I put the car into drive and then stepped on the gas pedal, pushing it all the way down to the floorboard. I could hear the engine growing louder. And then I took my other foot off the brake and the car lunged forward. I remember seeing in the rearview mirror dirt and gravel flying…

  • Betrayed…

    After the argument with my mom about giving me beer for my acne, I had asked my mom to stop seeing her boyfriend because I felt he was an alcoholic. I felt this way because all they did was go out to bars and drink heavily. This was the most important request I ever made…

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
