I just love these two word reviews. Now the guy wants ME to review my own poem and send it back to him! Uhh?
I've just edited an item in my portfolio:

This may not be appropriate for this newsfeed, but in the general interest of the public I feel some facts should be announced and celebrated. As of now over 90 million Covid vaccines have been given. 115 million Americans have appointments and will be vaccinated this month. Appointments can be scheduled through RiteAid.com, Walgreens.com, CVS.com and other pharmacies, plus every county is constructing Mass Vaccination sites. All you need is your Driver's license, State ID and Insurance or medicare card.
I just received my first shot. Lost my Driver's License so have him my passport. Didn't have my Medicare number, he said he'd find it later, no big deal. It took 5 minutes for the shot. Didn't feel a thing. This pandemic could be under control by the summer. YEAH. I still ear a mask and social distances, but my chances of getting sick are nil. (This is from California). Call your county health department each week to get the rundown on schedules, where and when and appointments. Do not let them give you the runaround!
Also in CA, had my first dose of Pfizer last week. Super easy to schedule the appointment online (I got one booked for the same day, for about 90 minutes after I looked. It was at the nearby community center, and everyone working the site was awesome. Arm was sore for 2-3 days. I did have a little sinus congestion three days later, but it's very likely that was just my allergies and the swing in the weather.

Still wearing my mask (especially with kids starting to come back on campus), still social distancing and staying home as much as possible.
Annette The Moderna one. I go back in a month for the final shot. Pharmacist seemed bored as heck. He's been poking people with shots every 15 minutes. I didn't feel anything.
Didn't feel a thing. One they swab you. Trump said put some chemical in you and worries. That's because of his neglect 50K folks died. Vaccines have been around since polio. My friend dad that and then she got by vaccine. Just sayinh
Just here to wish everyone a Happy, crazy, fun New Year - and to never forget your friends.

"So here is a hand my trusted friend,
And give me a hand of thine.
We'll take a cup of kindness yet,
For Auld lang Syne."

Writing.com - Thanks for the wonderful Christmas card! I love this place!

I did win FIRST PLACE in the first ever contest I have ever entered on this site. (after only..like being here 7 years..)

It was for the "Shadows and Light Poetry Contest" . It's a contest for free-verse poems. I stumbled on that group last month so I figured..what could it hurt.

!st Place, an Awardiacan and a special merit Badge is pretty darn cool. You might check it out. No prompts or rules really. Sure made me smile.
Well...I'm actually searching for my note pad on here. Can anybody direct me to that thingy? +Need to jot down two sentences. Ways up late and sorry sentences are running on..on top of each other. dam.
I went to Amazon, searched for "Slammed" and it has a over 1,000 ratings/reviews. 1,000 of the ratings given were 5 stars! If you haven't heard this news, go to Amazon and pull up the book.. of course, I have no clue what happens next but of course there is some thing that's going to come up that's going to shock their love and themselves. The author (who has never written anything in her life, stated she searched everywhere for a book which had SLAM poetry as a focus or even as a side note. I guess big publishers wanted to sign her up, but she says she 's only going to write E-books for on-line sales. Really interesting story. Lived in Texas, no heat, water etc. Now she is thrilled she has a small apartment. Believe she's in her 20's. Talk about a "I'll do it MY way" approach, with no training, no rejection slips, no standard publishing world manners or adherence to tradition. WOW.!
Hello gang. I was cruising around sites and a Texas newspaper had an article about a lady (retired 30 year Social Worker) who wrote an E-Book in only one month and self-published it onto Amazon. Even after the free week of no charge, this book skyrocketed to the best Seller List. It is titled, "Slammed" written by (last name) Hoover. That unexpected popularity happened last year. Since then she has written two more E-books. It is a YA book (guess that is the new term for the Hot trend of writing for Young Adults in their 20's.
This was a beautiful day in California. Ocean breeze, writing, poems, reflecting on the opportunity we all have here to express on all topics, new crises, and the old trepelation of the writuing process.. Social Media is uniting with us and we each can do a good deed. Write posters, lend support to progems which ned help: Food share, Wall street, poems/editorial nevr cruel yet joning forces to speard the word over 600 billion folks nd creating our each unique ways to help. Tutor. LE'S ALLCOUNT.
I discovered that I celebrated my seventh year at Wdc. Thanks to StoryMaster who e-mailed me and who keeps track of those events. It doesn't seem like seven years have passed. Wow! *BalloonP*
Congrats, Jersey!
My birthday snuck up on me yesterday. But I'll say it was one of the happiest days this year. Thanks to all who celebrated with me. Old friends and new friends, via Facebook, posted sweet greetings and kind wishes. And StoryMaster was so kind to remember my day. Right now I'm going to the family gathering. They told me I had to wait until tonight to celebrate. "That's what you get for having a December birthday - crammed between Christmas Day and New Years Eve!" Aren't they so kind? *Smile*
Glad you had such a day
I just wish to thank this Writing Site, not only for all it has taught me ~ but for those I have met along the way. The kindness shown to me when I was new, and the constant support, love, and friendship extended to me ~ has truly blessed me, and my writin has improved. I take risks, I push myself. But mostly I can come here and talk. Thank you to ALL of you.
I stumbled onto this page awhile ago, and have read some of your updates. I just want to say to those getting published soon ~ how exciting is that! Wow, and congratulations!.


And to the brave NaNo souls (I still am not sure WHAT NaNo means or what it entails)...but assuming it has meant writing a novel....I say: Bravo!


You guys and gals have alot of guts going through such a marathon.


All these updates and events have been an inspiration. Really, I'm not just being corny.


Awww, that's very nice, James. I'm almost recovered. My memory of the other people who live in this house with me is coming back into focus now... and my typing-fingers are out of the casts. *Laugh*

All kidding aside, it was a blast. We have some terrific writing groups here in Jersey is you have any interest.
