Author has written 57 stories for Life, Love, Fantasy, School, General, and Religion. Whattado, everybody, whattado! Once again, out of the blue, I recently got a notice that someone saved poem as a favorite, which is an absolute thrill. It's like yes!, someone still stumbled upon my work even though it's been many moons since I've posted anything, let alone logged in. Thank you, thank you for stopping by and reading my stuff. Actually all these poems are part of a collection I'm trying to get published called, "Chronologically Filed Stanzas". A pdf of the manuscript is posted on my website, and I do mention ficpress in the acknowledgments because I do appreciate everyone's feedback in spite of my not always being able to return the favor. And believe me, I do wish I could browse everyone else's writing and give them my 2 cents worth, but this little thing called Chronic Fatigue Syndrome put my life into an extremely slow crawl. I have all these projects, and lists of ideas and lists of lists around me that aren't getting done at the speed I use to live life at, and and it just takes forever to accomplish anything when I do try to do something. As long as we breathe, there's always hope—and I’d love to hear from anyone else dealing with chronic fatigue and how you’re coping with life, the universe and everything. It's one of my dreams to some day surprise everyone with new material and a blizzard of reciprocal reviews. In the mean time, thank you again to the readers who liked the stuff I posted even though it's been awhile... Julie All of my writing-professional & personal--and consultation rates are on my website (No pdfs, moons or the borrowing of Craig Ferguson/Wavy's signature greeting were harmed during the production of this bio.) | |||||||
