Yes, March 2017 was the tenth year anniversary of when I began to write creatively. I credit Susan DV for urging me to write poetry. But also I wanted to chronicle my memoirs from the medical field and some other funny true stories.
Ten years have seen a lot of personal changes as well. Mostly the first couple years after my divorce. Things settled down and began playing a lot of golf. Working with my then girlfriend at her art gallery is fun. I've met all kinds of interesting people, I've driven a Lamborghini and a Ferrari on a track. I bought a cabin in the mountains of North Georgia that is a very peaceful respite from the city.
I am proud to say the writing saved what was left of my sanity after a nasty divorce. I began to write about feelings and other observations.
I married and am very happy although with 6 brothers and sisters there is always enough drama to fill my need for it. I still play golf and help at my wife's art gallery.
However, most importantly I am also blessed to say I am a three year Pancreatic Cancer survivor.
I thank heaven every day for health and ability to do the things I love like spending time with my children and grandchildren. I wake each day with the expectation of learning something about myself or the world, and the thought meeting interesting people.
I want to especially thank the "old crew" for their support and friendship all the years I have been publishing on Author's Den.
It seems though that writing when times are good is harder than when they are marginal of just plain shitty.
Ten years is a long time, but it doesn't seem like it.
After a long awaited weekend visitation caused by false allegations of sexual abuse, Glen got to see his children for the first time in over two months. He promised them that they would never be apart again and then they disappeared.
Through interviews with Lauren's doctors, along with those of other physicians, researchers, and clinicians who specialize in lung cancer, readers will have a better understanding of the disease.
