Fueled by thousands of gallons of coffee, my writing voyage continues!

Give me the right word and the right accent, and I will move the world. ~Joseph Conrad

Words - so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one who knows how to combine them. ~Nathaniel Hawthorne

I am a former graduate from that program as well. Yes, people who don't know the facts tried to blame Mr. Z for what happened to that student, and being that Z is a genuinely good person, he's never been the same since. It took people a long time to apologize, but the damage had been done. Mr. Z is still doing what he can, and he is still the strongest, most intelligent teacher I've ever had, but the blow of the loss, and the misdirected blame that came with it, broke his heart. Theatre still lives on in the Valley and I only wish more people would step forward to save and fight to keep the dream alive that Mom, Z, and John Farr started. Nothing like what they've built exists anywhere in the world. John Farr is missed.

On the bright side, Mom Doyle is alive and well. She retired, but she is alive and well. The 2 of those people changed my life. You should stop by to say hello someday. I go back every chance I get.

Sounds interesting...thank you for sharing this. I also love the image you have here in your blog of the forest!

Just running across your blog here, and in reading this entry..my thought is that you need to keep looking forward and not back...keep a positive attitude...that was just not meant to be, but the right one is out there for you. Wishing you better opportunities....wishing you peace~ SummerLyn

How nice to read you again, albeit such personally disappoint news for your. Take heart - I think Stephen King was rejected many times before a publisher snapped up his first book!

There are a number of classic books and writers who were turned down. So keep at it.

Well I am right there with wanting to own a haunted hotel where writers would come to. Sounds wonderful to me.

What about eBooks or podcasts of your work? Lot's of writers are doing that having a success, why cannot you?

The up-side about storms is that they tend to put things in perspective. I've been through paralyzing snow storms, have somehow managed to not be in a tornado, can only imagine a flood. You all came through it somehow.

Cranberry and water ... good for now. The writing-bug will still be there when you feel better.

Unfortunately it has been shown that since we have begun to produce biofuel from corn, farmers have gone from raising sweet corn which is consumed by humans and gone instead to producing field grade corn for sale as biofuel. Thus, a shortage of corn and corn based products for the stores and a rise in prices for field grade corn since it was wanted for the fuel.....so it goes.

Why don't we just QUIT using our cars so much, drive down the demand for fuels..alternate or otherwise. Let the Arabs find a new use for their oil....maybe a food product?

Wonderful news! Congratulations, JP!

Fingers crossed for this latest attempt with the agent.
