My last post was almost six years ago. Needless to say, I've been away from Wattpad a long time. During this period I was diagnosed with a deadly illness. I was given four years to live. Thankfully, via cutting edge medical techniques, I was cured and here I am many years after that date of supposed death.
As I slowly regained my health, over a period of two to three years, I emerged to being named a poet laureate. I served two years of service to the City of Anaheim, CA and developed poetry programs, organized library events, and created and published as its inaugural editor, an annual community anthology of poetry.
Now I'm working as a radio host for a program called "Poets Cafe" on KPFK 90.7 FM Los Angeles, speaking at science fiction conventions/conferences all over the USA, mentoring poets and writers as a writing coach, and publishing my poetry as I can.
I don't plan to post much here on Wattpad in the future. I've moved a bit beyond it, but to my former followers, if you care to find me you can subscribe to my newsletter "No Wasted Ink" at https://nowastedink.substack.com I also can be found on Instagram via my handle: @nowastedink
