Dear Fellow readers and Writers: I just received a letter from Val-Tech Media, publisher for Writer's Journal Magazine. They will not be publishing this magazine any more. I loved this magazine, because I read and learned from other writers like me. I guess, because of costs. This saddens me. Like everyone around who reads books or magazines or even newspapers understands, when something cost, there is a chance in time it will be no more. I wish, I had the money to buy that magazine. But how do you submit your hopes to something that is not there any more. So now I have two writer's magazines. Happy Writing Travels To You!

Made a decision in my life. One that I should have made many many years ago. Go to college and lock down this writer's thing. Online college that is. Wish me luck!
 

I lost my cousin recently. It was unexpected. Death is usually never expected. He was a good guy. I did not know him as well as I wished. Loss of someone you loved or even known as kids is hard. I know, his family and friends are feeling the loss more deeper then I. May his memory stay inside of me till I die. Rest in peace dear cousin.
 

This year, I am trying my hardest to keep my writing goals. But I am not doing so well.
 

I belong to a virtual world called Second Life. Great place to unwind and get your creative juices going. I met alot of great writers there.
 

Being lonely isn't always good. Your mind plays terrible tricks on you. Procrastination is a lot worse. Your feelings stronger and hurt harder. So reach out and touch a few groups or friends. And develop something
 

Gosh! Sometimes, I wish someone would stop saying.. give it time. But time is what you need to work things out. Time is where the spice is. Time is where you think and sleep. Time is endless.
 

Wow! One of my favorite shows is back on. The Amazing Race. I love that show. It shows courage and smarts. It shows different types of people and teamwork. Somethings the teams do I don't think I could do. They must be scared and excited all at the same time. To the beginning to the end of each team I wish the best. Happy trails to them. Muah love yeah. plainsue
 

My prayers and thoughts go out to all those in Hurricane Irene's way. Be safe and dry!
 

A poem that I wrote but did not finish on disappointment.

DISAPPOINTMENT

Hurts deep inside your heart
Makes no room for false starts

Leaves a bad taste in your mouth
No matter what truths may come out

Tears of relief and anger flows
Inside a pool disappearing below
