Summary:Went shopping a few days ago and got some directions from a kind lady on one of those electric cart deals. There sure do seem to be a lot of those in use for many reasons, I suppose. But I imagined this for her. Comments welcome.

Summary:In Search of Mr. Wonderful, The Journey from Myth to Madness
Romance / Adult
To Invite Love, You Must Love Yourself First
Syvanna Lee knows what she wants—an everlasting love, her own “Mr. Wonderful.� Yet in her precarious quest to find such a man, she refuses to listen to the truth of her inner voice and ends up disappointed time and again. Each “Mr. Somebody� Syvanna becomes involved with opens a new chapter in her life. Each new relationship causes her to look at herself from a different perspective. Each new lover unveils previously unexplored facets of her own personality. She is ready for love, but will she ever realize that to give love, receive love, or even demand love, she must love herself first?
And if Syvanna would only take a moment to listen to her inner voice, she might learn an important truth. As the tale unfolds, an ominous secret from Syvanna’s childhood rises to the surface, a secret that may ultimately kill her.
In Search of Mr. Wonderful is a tale of heartbreak, self-destruction, desperation, and, ultimately, of transformation and discovery. Ms. Bouvier has written a novel of intense beauty and introspection that will stay with you long after you’ve turned the final page.
REVIEWERS PLEASE NOTE: I will be adding chapters daily until the whole manuscript has been submitted. There are a lot!!! Stay tuned!!Chapters: |

Summary:This is an attempt to portray my view of a homeless vet. I can only hope I do him justice. I don't want it to sound sappy or cliche so do your job and let me have it if I didn't capture this with the honor due.
I see these men all the time in Seattle and surrounding towns.
What works? What doesn't? I will rework this until it is worthy.Chapters: |

Summary:My father suffers from Lewy Body Disease. Most people have never heard of it but it is similar to Alzheimers. Up until recently it had affected him physically rather than mentally. He decided about a month ago that he wants to die. He has gone downhill quickly since then. I went in to see him before going to Europe. He refuses food a lot of days but that day he asked me to feed him lunch. It was sweet and painful at the same time.
I changed a couple more things. Just small ones. I had to put this away for a while and then come back to it. Chapters: |
| Sometimes I Cry | Sideman | Poetry | Non-Fiction | 14 | 0.81 | Jul 27, 2008 |
Summary:As some of you know by now, my wife is extremely ill and will never get better. She has almost died three times in the past 15 months. Her entire family is in Bakersfield, California. She is here in St. Louis. She depends on me for just about everything. Sometimes it leaves me overwhelmed and I doubt my abilities to give all that she needs.
I wrote this originally as a song last year and had it recorded this past August. It was a cathartic process for me. I have slightly modified it for this poetic version. As far as feedback, any comments you would care to make are welcomed. Thanks for reading.Chapters: |
