I wasn't expecting to find that - I simply wanted to remind you if anyone was looking for updates about you, they might get disappointed if your blog was left in stasis for too long. Meanwhile, your blog updated during my 8 days of connectivity woes - #SuperBowlSunday is my 1st day of solid reliability again! I even #leftcable in order to have more freedom due to snarky customer service issues; which is why I'm streaming for the first time and finding it's wicked fun! I have no idea how the Super Bowl will be to stream but it will be an adventure for sure! I'm pulling for the Patriots...<br /><br />Congrats on returning to your writings; I feel the same exhilaration about returning to my blog. I posted an epic long #StoriesOfJorie yesterday back-posted coincidently to the 31st, as I was writing it whilst kicked offline! lol Sometimes when you have to 'let go' of your writings and your regular rhythms due to life running interference, you sometimes find the return you take back to where you last left off is not just humbling but soul lifting.<br /><br />A YA, eh?! Did you write a traditional YA or an Upper YA? I've had my eyes pegged on the YA market for several years now, as I tend to prefer traditional variants of the market but sometimes Upper YA esp those which dip into Realistic Fiction convince me of their merit. I look forward to learning more about your genre-bender as those are some of the best out there to discover; esp which genres are being bent and inverted into each other!<br /><br />Happy New Year, my friend!<br /><br />May joy always find a way to alight out of the darkness and rise to lift you in it's wings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6394346673437774065.post-41707920686204751482017-02-01T11:39:05.975-08:002017-02-01T11:39:05.975-08:00@Alex J.

I'd love to adapt Heart of a Lion but the scale of it would require a pretty massive budget, lol! This one is a very action-intensive wilderness adventure. I'll be keeping everyone posted.

We tend to have a lot of contempt for men who treat us well, because they are gullible and easily fooled by our surface. Men who love us are completely stupid, and can't see beyond the tips of their noses.<br /><br />There's always the option of actively hunting: lay out exactly what you're looking for, figure out where a person like that might be found and start frequenting it. <br />I wanted a genius and someone taller than me, with a sense of humor and a taste for geekery. I went to an engineering school, where the median IQ was mine, and focused on the boys whose looks I liked. Married 26 years. <br /><br />You can absolutely choose who to fall in love with. Love grows through time spent. You can be attracted to 97 people, but it's the one you spend the time with that you're going to love.<br /><br />As for the rest, good luck. Remember, love is a heavy obligation, and carries a lot of responsibility. It's work.Angelia Sparrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13195112449945205248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6394346673437774065.post-49701898326350317152016-01-30T19:35:26.348-08:002016-01-30T19:35:26.348-08:00@Terry thank you for the reply and the encouragem...@Terry thank you for the reply and the encouragement. this area of my life has been a mind-boggling odyssey that I rarely seem to have any answers for.

I hear you with the bad choices and 'fixing' and such.<br /><br />One aspect I realize from my life and marriage, is that as difficult as it can be to be a single individual--yes, there is the 'freedom' and 'lack of responsibility' that can be associated with it, but also the 'isolation' and 'lack of the forming bond' between two people. Anyway, it tells me just how difficult it would be to be a single parent...no one to lean on, count on, be supported by and collaborate with, no one to 'tag out' with for an hour or so on the days when the kid is sick, or you're sick or whatever.<br /><br />Hang in there!

The impulse would be to wrap you up in soft blankets -- or, as we used to say back in the day, in cotton wool -- and carry you around on a pillow! You're right: this experience, your response, your parents' response, and everything that came from those must have played a HUGE role in your being who you are today. I only hope the other kids that monstrously broken child "care" worker hurt came through half as well as you did, you awesome guy! <3Marian Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15842321321484056422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6394346673437774065.post-77081056839689615702016-01-17T06:37:10.161-08:002016-01-17T06:37:10.161-08:00Stephen,

You are a shining example of this.<br />You know I have read all of your EPIC FANTASY SERIES well except( you know the one) but maybe you should write another book. An Autobiography.<br />Your journey could give hope to others who have been put in situations that have sent their world in a dramatically different direction then they planned.
