I chose the sharing of my own anxiety so here we go. My first time publishing on GA was when I began to put my poetry out for others to read. I was not scared of publishing it or if others enjoyed the poems, however my fear lays in rejection. If someone doesn’t enjoy what I wrote from my heart and soul, how are they going to enjoy anything else I write? I found the courage to publish more by reading a few stories here and there. Reading the comments from those stories made me realize that even if others don’t understand or appreciate my work doesn’t mean that my work is less important to put out for others to read. If I can help one person to find creativity, inspiration, or hope from my works then I have done my job as an author.

I’m game!!

I understand where you are coming from and I am not taking any offense. I know that life gets in the way of writing, with that being said I just wanted to let others know what I have been up to.

I am guilty of being one of THOSE members, no matter my own personal reasons, I have failed as an active member of this great group of authors. However now that I am back I will be reviewing my own works and be more participative in clubs as well. Again I am sorry for my absence.

I wanted to show life’s ups and downs, yet somehow that things work out for the best.

Thank you. I was aiming for a life story that revolves around love and friendship.

I saw the prompt that I stole and it to me a few weeks to write, but once I did the idea came to me organically and I was able to write from the heart.

What can I say other than life got in the way!

Thank you for reading and your comments!

He might have. Jay is one to be loyal to his friends and not be a home wrecker! Maria, Brandon and Jay’s friendship is one based on trust and honesty. You’re welcome and thank you for reading!

I just might take you up on your suggestion! I cried while writing this on more than one part because I imparted some of my life into the story. Happy holidays!!

I feel Christmas is about realizations, either love, faith, or coming to terms with life. I wanted to show love as just that, love. Without labels or terms just as an emotion that ties our lives together.

Thank you. I wanted Brandon, Sarah, and the Maria doll to all kneel and ask for Jay to be a part of the family. I wanted the inclusion of everyone, because that is how much they love him.

The hardest thing to do is forgive yourself for past mistakes. Especially the mistakes that have scarred you the deepest! Awesome story about forgiveness and second chances!!

I can relate on so many levels to this story. From being in the restaurant industry, to family, to old nicknames haunting you. Great story!!

Being a high school thespian, spending time in Florida and being back in frigid Colorado, I love this story!! Awesome job!!

That is the type of relationship that I want to have! Great story!

I have many family members win and lose to this beast called cancer, even writing this I am in tears! Thank you for this hopeful and inspiring story! Much love for your talent and skill!!

Awesome story!!

Lovely, heartfelt story!! Thank you!!

This resonates with me! It has the feel of ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ and ‘A Christmas Carol’. Personally people can change if the really want to. Beautiful story!!

Absolutely awesome!! I love the Pagan earth relationship to the hustle and bustle of modernization. The return of innocence and equivalent exchange!! Bravo!!

Of course! My pleasure!!

The poem was a great touch! I loved the angst and similarities between Hawken and Harish. The ending was perfect!! Awesome work!!

I enjoyed every bit of the story, from the pouting in the beginning to the spirit of giving, to opening yourself up. Great story!!
