Summary:

Run Barefoot on Cactus is a journey of love, betrayal, death and renewal. It all happened a short three month adventure in lower Baja Mexico. Because I am both the writer and protagonist of this true adventure, I question is if this story will have appeal to readers and what my target audience might be. Does the first chapter work? Would readers want more?

Any and all feedback wanted. I honestly don't know what this is. I always have a down day on Dec 3rd.. Simple as that. Not meant to be sad but to show the soul and the human realty that we sometimes struggle. No rhyme nor reason.. This one is just for me to unwind a bit.

Summary:

This is a subject that has haunted me since I was a small girl with two uncles in the Korean War. One who slept with a gun under his pillow so we had to be careful waking him. He would break out in a sweat and moan. Most likely reliving. Which is worse? Dying on a battlefield or the walking dying who live each day on the battlefield they left so long ago. What are the 'trues reasons man goes off to battle?' I would thing they are varied but I would venture they had no clue what they were getting into. Nor did they truly understand who and why they were killing. To question your government was simply not done. Those who did lived in fear and isolation. I have seen the walking dead. On street corners, silent in wheel chairs unable to meat the eyes of the onlookers. For what will he or she see? Disgust? Pity? Any true understanding how devastated these souls are and how for some, death would have been kinder. There is no way I can understand nor fully see into the heart and life of one at war. I can't. But I do recognize the horror when I see it reflected and the total lack of life in blank staring eyes who long ago gave up the will to get anyone to understand.

Please do not feel the need to leave another review. The first piece was actually posted accidentally and while it was well received it was not the piece I had in mind and was only a outline of sorts. I didn't even know I had posted it until the I saw a review! aaaaaagggghhhh. I am conscious of reviews and rankings so a little uncomfortable doing this. Will work that out later. I have saved the original.. But this was what I saw. I is metaphorical in nature. I see many in this peril.. It saddens me. I have no rope to cast... Any an all feedback always embraced. I hope you find this one as emotionally impacting as I wanted it to be.

This is a very simple piece. Really a piece that could just as easy be about a mother. Why I chose a father? I don't know.. I do daycare and I see both struggling to keep a balance going. As a poetic piece? Most likely lacking. Just a statement of observation by a poetic observer.

This is a serious piece of work or perhaps simply a "piece of work" No Chaiku or Haiku or Thaiku flowing through my thoughts. So decided on a telling the story of a man and his writing. Any and all serious criticism will be weighed with a grain of salt. Just being honest! After after.. this is my story ..

Summary:

This is my emerging memoir. For the time being, each chapter is a stand-alone "episode," and I have not yet determined the framework for tying them together. Don't worry about reviewing them in order. Imagine that I am making a necklace, and I am crafting the beads one at a time; once they are crafted, I will string them in a pleasing and relevant order, adding the necessary transitions at that time. This memoir will include my childhood in the 1970's, teens in the 1980's, motherhood beginning in 1994. The main themes of the larger work relate to three diagnoses in my forties: Borderline Personality Disorder, Bi-polar Disorder, and Breast Cancer.
