I just completed a brand new story, and made it into an E-book, I called it Robbie’s Vengeance. It will tell what becomes of Robbie as he grows older and the decisions he makes and what he does.

I just hope people will like it when it is released. In the meantime, President Trump has already caused a constitutional crisis of major proportions with his banning and blocking of incoming refugees and persons from 7 countries. Then on top of all of this blocking, banning of Muslims, he has angered China, Germany, Mexico and more. Doesn’t this man understand the United States can not afford to be isolated from the rest of the world and still survive? Is he crazy, stupid or just being stupid or is he mentally ill? He needs to be evaluated by Psychiatric Doctors to see if he is mentally fit to hold the office he is in.

Anyway, I am nothing more than a regular tax paying citizen and a disabled veteran who served his country for 16 years, so I guess I have no say in much when it comes to the Government. Sadly life shall go on!

                                                            Plotting a Plot

          Before you start writing your story or novel, or short, make

                 sure you plot it out.

• Know where it takes place.
• Why it takes place
• What the story revolves around or through
• Stick to the plot and where it is going
• Put surprises or twists in your plot, for readers love trying to figure them out.
• Don’t plot it out to a happy ending every time, that’s not how life goes does it.
• Write down your plot and make sure it makes sense
• Every step you take has to build intensity and interest from the reader, remember the idea is to make a point, using your plot
• In the end, I suggest, you make an outline of the plot you wish to use and as you write follow it so you don’t miss a step or part

        Writing is a part of a person if it is done correctly, let your words flow and let the emotions go, try to tell how you would feel during the incident or occasion you are writing about.  Use words that inject passion, love, hate, anger or sadness into the story. As a story teller tell the story in as simple a language as possible so the masses can understand it’s meaning. Using words that are not common is not good for it drives many people to dictionaries and causes a break in the reading of the story.

          If you remember the story with passion and with love and caring or sadness in it, it must be told that way, to work for a reader too. expression is a big part of writing any story and needs to be conveyed to the reader in plain English or the language you are using clearly. If you are intending the story for the public then it must also meet the general public’s use of the language too period.  Make it meet the audiences level you are trying to reach, OK.

My little story is.now.available for sale in Barnes and Noble Book Stores at $5.50 a copy.

         Connecticut, has within it many cities and towns of course like all the other states,yet, I have seen one of it’s cities slowly go downhill and still not recover since the 1960s. Waterbury, the Brass City they call it, has become a city of slums and unemployed people. A city bordering on, destruction in my opinion.

            I grew up in Waterbury for my first fourteen years of life, I was born in Saint Mary’s Hospital and lived in the north end projects called Broadview Acres at the time. It was and still is a project of brick building apartments filled with every race, and color you can think of. You learned back in the 1960s to get along with all or get the living shit beat out of you, plus you also learned to stand up for yourself. So it wasn’t all bad back then, but Lord knows the city has gone to the dumps since.

         The roads are falling apart, potholes destroy vehicles everyday as people try to survive and look for jobs. The factories are gone that made Waterbury the Brass City of America. There is no more, Anaconda, Timex, Chase Brass and Copper to employ the masses.  neighboring Naugatuck used to provide jobs for people too it is gone for all, as Uniroyal went, in the late 1970s.  Blue collar workers who once manned factories that created weapons and ammunition for our military are all gone too.  They now walk the streets homeless, begging for help with signs, saying, will work for food. It’s a sad city these days folks and no one is bothering to try to bring it all back.

                 Waterbury’s mayor have taken so much from it over the decades that the city has nothing left to fix it’s infrastructure and bring back jobs. They keep bring merchants and stores in, which ultimately close because the people have no money to purchase anything. It’s an endless cycle, that drives Waterbury deeper into a rut, these days. The drugs and alcohol problems in Waterbury alone might be one of the highest in the States period is examined close enough. No help is coming either, as the mayor gets richer, The Governor gets richer and the politicians of all parties do too. When will Waterbury, get a Mayor who can fix it and clean it up? When will Waterbury lower the taxes on companies that can build and employ people once again, the companies that left were taxes out and fined out. Too many regulations and taxes have killed the area period.

            As Waterbury, Connecticut, continues to slide deeper into the slum land of the world, people are leaving in flocks like birds  migrating to new areas where the jobs are, if they can. Leaving behind those who have no money or income or strength to get out by themselves. It’s a sad sight to watch as a person who grew up here. What used to be a proud city is now a city crumbling into pieces and falling into ruin, sad ya ask me.

If you write, you must have had a dream at sometime in your life. Or you had an event or problem you couldn’t solve. Or things didn’t work correctly for you so you remember it clearly and have to tell it

Do it on words people understand, don’t force a dictionary into their hands

Ya don’t have to do Sick and Jane but you do have to make it understandable for all to read.

I am learning myself that it will take a lot of time for me to get over 50 pages, or 50,000 words and it may never happen for me, but I can try.

Currently, I am working on a story, and I hope when I am done, it will be good enough to make a real book out of it. I shall see, and when I finish, I hope to find an editor and publisher for it. Time shall tell, and I shall dream.
