Apologies

The short story I posted for Halloween has been removed. It will be replaced shortly. I apologize, but the replacement version will be much better. Promise.

It hasn’t been easy, getting here. Not one to pay much attention to followers or stats, I just do what I do and go from one subject to another when I’m able to write.

I do this because I care about people. I am a high school dropout with a GED, which basically means, I’m a high school dropout. I’m no more qualified to be a writer than anyone else but, using my experience and hard lessons, I do what I believe is right: stand up for people like me, all over the world, who feel lost, overwhelmed and oppressed by powerful people who think they have the right to step on the poor, the mentally ill, the victims of terrible crimes. People who want help, freedom and some basic human compassion.

The United States is moving towards an autocratic rule, climate change is killing us, and corporations give lip service to environmentalists but keep churning out plastic and poison. We’re dying. I challenge myself to hang on and fight with words what I cannot fight with any other means.

I’ll see you soon. Be well.

BTW: I’m watching my stats and following a bit closer now. I can’t break that 100 mark because I keep losing followers, and whereas I’m not watching out of vanity but because I care that my words might really mean something after all. I just wanted to say I love you all for making me feel like I matter. Thanks so very much.
