TO WASH OUT MY MIND
I have been writing a new chapter of NIGHT SEASONS,
detailing Nazi atrocities and their Holocaust Trains.
Brave railing against impossible odds,
resulting in some lives saved but so many more lost.
So here is my Go-To Song
when the World becomes too much.

MIDNIGHT'S HOUSE RULZ
I had a terrible reaction to my Covid-19 vaccination shot Wednesday and Thursday.
Midnight curled up beside me on the bed all both days and nights.
He purred, "I'll be with until the end, Roland ...
and then I'll eat you.
Hey, kittens have got to eat!"

IWSG post: A DISAPPOINTMENT IS ONLY AS IMPORTANT AS YOUR RESPONSE TO IT
Though hardly a stranger to rejection slips,
I received a new one today.
I wanted to use a character from
one of my short stories,
so completely rewrote it
to introduce him in my
NIGHT SEASONS
Vella Submission.
Amazon has cancelled my entire
Novella for sale,
saying they did not want
customers paying twice for what
they could get elsewhere.
I completely rewrote that story
(in a 99 cent collection)
explaining in all
new details
with
theoretical particle physics,
cosmology,
and gravitation
how Angels might fly
and how they might differently
perceive the streams of reality.
John Wayne's THE ALAMO and
Billy Bob Thornton's version
told of the same battle differently
as I did with my rewritten story.
The good news is that Amazon Vella
has me writing NIGHT SEASONS
when Covid, 2 Hurricanes,
an ice storm & a flood
had stopped me completely.
It is more than me just whining -
I wanted to warn you about using
characters you have used previously
if you plan to submit to Vella.
My YCU
(Yeomans Connected Universe)
seems to confuse Amazon.
Just wanted to caution you about
Amazon Vella.
Amazon is much bigger
that we are.
Are you planning to write for
Amazon Vella?

BEFORE COVID-19, 2 HURRICANES, AN ICE STORM, and A FLOOD
Some of you might be wondering how Lake Charles looked before the 4 HORSEMEN savaged our city:
Sadly, it no longer looks like this.

YET AGAIN FOR THE 4TH TIME IN 9 MONTHS!
Just yesterday, I got my internet repaired.
That is why you have not heard from me.
You can imagine how fun these last few days
as a blood courier has been!
Say a prayer will you?
To end with a smileanda bit of reflection:

ANOTHER THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
I just learned I lost a good friend last year while I was homeless for eight months and ill with Covid-19.
I will write more of that loss later when I have the time to do her justice.
But this poem came to mind as I prayed for her ...
May life be kinder to
all of us this year.
