A ‘Writer‘ I Be. An ‘Author’ Not You See.

I do not consider myself to be an ‘author‘.

An author has attended school to learn their craft and to hone their talent.

An author is trained.

I am merely a ‘writer‘.

I learned to write in the same school as the author.

Unlike the author, I have not been trained.

There lays a large difference between an author and a writer.

In my instance a prime example of this difference can be seen in the four volumes of my autobiography.

The first book, “Damaged“, I published exactly how I ‘wrote’ it.

As you go from one volume to the next you will see a great improvement in all aspects.

By the time you reach the fourth volume you will see how I became comfortable with storytelling.

I often describe the transgression as my first books, both the nonfiction and the fiction, are like Junior High School. The middle are like High School and the last published are like University.

(I hope you can understand what I mean by saying this.)

Unlike an author,  I do not create a storyboard or timeline.

The author utilizes these to ‘create‘ his story.

As a writer I simply ‘write‘. Whatever is in my mind travels down my arms and off my fingertips to the keyboard.

I do not worry about proper grammar or learned structure.

I write ‘on the fly’ as it were.

A ‘writer‘ I be. An ‘author’ not you see.

I write for me.

To acknowledge my existence and life.

I tell my stories, both fictional and non-fictional for YOU, the reader.

Court still prohibits marijuana possession

Court still prohibits marijuana possession Shannon Kari, National Post Published: Thursday, December 11, 2008 The prohibition against simple possession of marijuana has been upheld by an Ontario Superior Court judge, in a closely watched case that stemmed from the prosecution of Clifford Long, who was arrested by Toronto police with $40 worth of cannabis. Justice Eva Frank overturned a decision by a lower court judge last year that found there was no valid restriction against possession of cannabis because of flaws with the country's medical marijuana regulations. The lower court decision led to confusion about prosecuting simple possession cases in Ontario, said the federal government in its arguments before Judge Frank earlier this year. The federal Crown argued that the present policies of Health Canada have resulted in enough marijuana for the nearly 2,000 people with medical certificates to possess the drug. Judge Frank agreed with the arguments made by federal government lawy...

LIVE IN THE NOW. FOR NOW

  “ Look up into the Universe and show your perception of your God that you are grateful and humbled for this gift of existence, of life it very self. “ Remember, we are merely mortal and our existence is an ever changing blueprint of the pathway we choose to walk at this moment of our lives. We will face many choices and we walk many pathways   as we wander through this road we call “ life “. “ We are genetically spiritually nomadic. “ Forever seeking the “ why “, “ where ” and “when”, often neglecting the “ here “, “ now ” and “ why not “ The past has left us. The future is yet to arrive. In reality, we live right now. Enjoy the  “now”. Think fondly about the past. Have positive hope for tomorrow. And ……….. “ LIVE ” in the now Before it fades I nto the past. (LDV 06/29/2025) “Positivity is Cancer’s nemesis.”

Hey America, Sorry To Say, But …….

  I have been told that 1 percent of the American people are running the asylum formerly known as “ The United States of America “. So, what are the other 99 percent doing? A few lame protests? You all remained silent even when both Trump and Musk openly admitted to rigging the electoral computers in Pennsylvania. You all allowed the fascist rapist to STEAL the Presidency from Harris.  You have stood by and allowed your newly appointed Dictator to commit crime after crime.  I remember a time when the American people actually stood up for their CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS. Protests accomplish nothing and only fuel the nutjob’s ego. Now look at the mess you have created!!! Every member of Trump’s administration  is corrupt and and should be arrested and JAILED! He purposely has put incompetent people in charge of key positions across all government departments and programs to create multiple chaotic disarray and confusion. No Dictator in history has ever given up their power...
