| Wal-Mart Hodown Showdown | kat nove | Poetry | Humor | 8 | 1.31 | Mar 14, 2010 |
Summary:I'm in the mood for BAD poetry. This is what would happen if two menopausal TNBW members ran into each other at Wal-Mart. With apologies to their long-suffering daughters. Oh, and did I say BAD poetry? I meant STINK-UP-A-POETRY-READING poetry. This is truly dreadful! Chapters: |
| My Little Secret | pamlajj | Novel | Memoir | 3 | n/a | Jan 14, 2010 |
Summary:This is a revision of my memoir, previously titled The Big C. It describes how my adolescent cancer wreaked havoc on my life, and how, at the age of thirty, I finally ssought the assistance of a caring therapist who helped me come to terms with its far-reaching mental health consequences.
The story moves back and forth in time and place. Chapters that describe my experiences as a twelve year old are interspersed with chapters that showcase my sessions with my therapist when I'm a young adult. The story ends with me in my fifties, discovering the cause of my cancer and uncovering a secret about myself I could never have guessed.
Any and all feedback is appreciated. I have not removed the earlier reviews because I want to keep all of the advice they provided. If you have read and/or reviewed this story before, I would appreciate hearing what you think of the changes. If my story is new to you, please ignore those early reviews and share your own impressions.
One small caveat - Chapters one and two are more similar to their original form than are chapters three, four, and five.Chapters: |
