Day 90 - I'm a Writer!

I've been trying to write a story about my horseback riding adventure.
Trying being the operative word.
Trying, struggling, fussing, erasing, .....
After it turned midnight on the East Coast, when most sane people are in bed, even crazy writers, I decided to check to see if the April issue of Sasee Magazine is out.
OMG! It is!
And just in case you can't hear me tooting my own horn wherever you are, you should know I'm pretty excited.
I noticed, even though I knew it was coming, being published feels grrrr-eee-aaa-ttt!

If you are so inclined, check it out at sasee.com. My story is called The Magic 8 Ball. If you like it feel free to leave a comment.

Now back to the grindstone.
Smiling,
Merry ME

Just read The Magic 8 Ball and loved it! You create such vivid descriptions and analogies. Never knew how you and Jack met until now - what a great story. Susan B.

Today is catch-up day for me (obviously). Just bopped over, read, and commented. It's a wonderful story, Sugar. You are, indeed, a writer, and a helluva one at that. xo

Merry ME _____ I always breathe a sigh of relief when a storm veers away from Jacksonville.  At the same time it's hard not to feel guilty that it went somewhere else.  I was in no way prepared for Hurricane Sandy. Like a lot of others, I felt like the meteorologist

An Easter Miracle

How is it that after someone you love dies, time moves on even when it feel like its standing still? Philosophers, poets and writers have tried to answer that question since time began. I don't have the answer. I just know that, by what I can only imagine is the Grace of God, it does. When you heart is broken into something resembling a 1000 piece jig saw puzzle and there are no directions on how to put it together, somehow it mends. When some else dies and it cracks again, God stitches the old wound and the new wound together into a patchwork of healed scars. Fifteen years ago, when I watched my mother draw a breath then counted the seconds before she took another but none came, I sat by her bed and tried to imagine being a motherless child. Then I did what any kid would do, ran down the long hospital corridor sounding the alarm. "My mother isn't breathing." "My mother isn't breathing."  Want to see doctors, nurses, CNAs, and cleaning ladies tur
