Collection of stories written in my writing group formerly named "Power of the Pen". Due to the cancellation of this competition organization, we joined PenOhio, and continue to practice for this.
TRIGGER WARNING: themes such as death, terminal illness, murder, rape, violence, suicide, mental illness, eating disorders, war, strong language, sex/sexuality, drug use, alcoholism, as well as other mature topics, are common in this collection. Please be aware of this before reading.
(Also please be aware that some of these stories were written in 7th grade and we were given 30-40 minutes to read the prompt and write the short story)
Thank you for reading!
My fifty years of good or bad heartfelt life experiences written in honest, bold and direct expressions. I believe my purpose and mission are to live a passionate life and share my interesting story with the world to inspire and touch people in many ways. I took two years to write and two years to revise and edit it with the help of my third child and two professional editors. After being turned down and advised by hundred of publishers to turn my story into a novel. I kept trying but couldn't do it as it is not in me. So until last September my very special new family doctor agreed to be my first reader and gave me good comments with excitement, I decided to self publish it with the help of my youngest child. I hope to grow as a writer, and be able to share more stories with you all. During the ten years wait, I have moved out from the unsafe home and living a wonderful and happy life that I am ready to write and share my An Extraordinary Life and it continues with you all. Please tell me how you truly feel about it and share it.
