What an excellent reminder!! I wrote about something similar in my very first essay here - letting go requires letting go of expectations (either of what the thing will give you or about whatโs supposed to come next). Thanks for sharing!
Several great new reads are on deck in the coming days. Check back here for the following short-stories. Hundreds of fans all over the world (and growing every week) look forward to the stories. Iโd like to invite new readers and fans to come along as well.
Bent nails - hear about several real estate developers in this area over the years and their absurd and unlawful schemes to win and profit at any cost. Many are in jail now.
Fireworks in the field - a country school has some shady happenings going on. In this case, the truth is truly stranger than fiction.
A man of influence - a late central-Virginia politician grows his political career, his business interests, his brand, and his wealth to great heights over his long and storied career.
Abe & Andy, (vol. 16) - A fictional pairing of President Abraham Lincoln and business mogul Andrew Carnegie. It didnโt end at Fordโs Theatre in Washington, D.C. in April of 1865. A warm friendship that changes America for decades, up to the present day. The constant excitement, the walk-on characters of other major historical figures, and the humor will keep you coming back for more.
And now, back to you (vol. 6) - Series fiction about television reporter Stephanie Smiles. She is not who she seems, and her misdeeds change tv news reporting in ways that no one could have foreseen. There is shocking drama in each installment.
The Happier Hour - a good-hearted and visionary bartender uses his post to change countless lives for the better over the years.
A dogโs day out - not to be missed, an imagined tale about a bored posse of suburban dogs that โborrowโ a minivan from one of the dogโs Mom, and then have their best dog day ever while all of their โhuman parentsโ are at work. You will love and understand your dog even more after this story.
Mildred waits patiently - Mildred comes to await the discharge of her ailing husband from the medical center. A tale of love and devotion, while being spooky as well with an unexpected outcome.
I wonโt hide my goals and ambitions here, and I have the confidence to say it clearly. Iโm working hard to be one of your absolute favorite writers here on Substack. Iโm not here to pump investments, or expensive coaching, or overpriced systems, or to try to influence your politics. Iโm a short-form writer, and that is all that I want to be here on Substack. My writings are deliberately written in a variety of styles, for a large, international fan base. My writings cover humor, irony, spooky, nostalgia, and some series historical fiction. I truly offer something for everyone. Many of you have read every single one of my stories. Some of you are new or newer here, and youโve become a big fan. I am your entertainer, and nothing more. While many of my writings are free, you can have it all over for only $50.00 USD $ per year. For the price of only two gas-station coffees per week, you're able to stream some great short-stories. And what a bargain, as I drop a new read every 1.5 days or so on average. I am prolific, you can count on me. Read any 3-4 stories, and youโll want to read them all.
If you buy a one-year paid subscription now through July 1, Iโll throw in 3 free months on the back-end. You wonโt regret it.
beautifully written
