Lost. I've had it in my mind to submit a couple of stories to a woman's magazine. the problem has been finding them. One, I knew that due to a gremlin problem wasn't on the computer. I have searched for it many times. I remembered though, I had a copy on the website but hid in navigation, not published. Weebly had a problem with reindeers or Santa Clause. I'm not sure which. So I jumped in to my collection, happy, only to find, or not find, my story. From there I had to rake through all my paper copies of everything I had ever written. I have written loads. When you are looking for one thing you have to read everything. It took hours. I promise, I do not lie when I say, the two stories were found in the very last folder.
I think it is too late now to send them to the magazine but you never know. I plan to post a story about an immigrant in this country and how harsh his life really was. It' not all about "they come over here and take our jobs". It looks at modern day slavery. Another story to be considered in the same category is a Serial Offender. Although the character is British her circumstances are dire. The common denominator in both is poverty. Then we hear "money doesn't buy you happiness". No, but it gives you choices. You would chose not to live in a damp home. You would chose better food to feed your children. You could chose to have the heating on when it is cold. I don't think either story paints Britain in a very good light.

AuthorI enjoy writing short stories and reading yours. I'm always amazed at where our mind can take us. I think it is therapeutic to let your mind wander off and free itself of personal drudgery. Archives
