The Society Saga Continues!

Greetings, all. It’s been a while since my last post. The reason being that I started school. Yes, after sixteen years away, I decided to go back to the classroom. I am studying Clinical Medical Assisting and Phlebotomy. I’m actually way more into the phlebotomy than anything else, which surprised the heck out of me. It turns out that I actually enjoy drawing blood. A few have commented that...

Writing Victories!

Greetings everyone! It’s been a while since I last posted. First, let’s get my health update out of the way, as I don’t really want to spend a whole lot of time on that subject.

Health is a passing blessing….

Here is what I’ve been going through lately: My life has turned into a nightmare. About two and a half months ago, it was like someone flipped a switch. I woke up one morning, hacking and coughing, my throat itching like crazy. My eyes watering, my nose all stuffy. It was allergies, and I’ve had them before in the past, and even had  to go on allergy shots to immunize myself against the...

Finally, An Acceptance.

Dear fellow writers. You know the drill. Submit, submit, submit…and then wait and watch as the inevitable rejections begin to roll in. I would say that on average, for every twenty submissions, I receive 19 rejections, and then, finally…the acceptance on submission number 20. Sometimes the number can be even higher, like 30 submissions and ALL rejections. A writer must never give up, however....
