Please have a look at my website… I’ve been working on getting my writing page into decent formatting and suchlike… JaanCarter.com…
Let me know what you think! Since I don’t want to wait to find an agent and I really don’t want to use Amazon, for political reasons, this is my way of attempting to get my work “out there.” This is Creative Writing, which has been a lot of actual PAPER stuff I’ve been transcribing into digital life… And some just needed a thorough re-editing, and formatting and junk like that…
I can’t spend much time today on my blog, because I’m going to my folks’ house to cook and console my mother, who is losing her memory and feeling pretty scared about that… Looks like maybe it’s finally a good time, for them, for me to think about moving in over there… I treasure living alone, but this is the Main Event, and the biggest upside is, I won’t have to be so stressed out about getting a job.
You know, this is something my brother either won’t or can’t do, and so it’s up to me, and I’m going to do it. My parents are quite elderly, and I just don’t have the heart to let them try to deal with life at this point; they need me. And finally, Mom, you’re able to admit that and maybe learn to trust me, that I’m not wanting to “take over” your life, but just give you support a little cushioning…
I’m writing this SO FAST because I need to leave soon! Sorry if it’s really rough…
We don’t choose our families, we choose our friends. Right now, my family needs me. I’m going to try to rise to the occasion— it’s the reason I moved here to WA. It’s what seems to be the FAITH-BASED thing to do… So send me love, okay? This is hard stuff. And please look at the website and the Word Herder page… I aim to entertain.
Cheers, m’dears!
And here’s a little sample of my DIGITAL cartooning… (Done with a mouse, because I never did get a stylus and all that stuff… One day I’ll scan all my PAPER cartoons and put them in a book… Anyway! See ya later. This fine fellow below is Danger Dog…
I love danger dog!
Sending you love!!'
Your parents are fortunate in you.
