You are a good writer, and when I have more time I will read your novel. I am still packing and resting. Saturday is almost here. Pain level is high but I am accomplishing so much. Karen

I am so sorry to hear you are suffering so much and trying to move at the same time. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Hang in there and hopefully it will be over soon and you can rest. Take care.....Have a great day!
Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
That metaphor of a roller coaster ride seems particularly aptly used here. No one could possibly argue with the fact that you've had many challenges along the way. But what you've discovered - and I like those words 'constant' and 'thread'- is writing which you clearly demonstrate here you can do with skill and style. Well done and good luck! Debbie

Thanks so much, Debbie, for your kind comments and the review. We never know what life's going to bring, and some of it has been a rough ride, but in the end, I know writing is my one steadfast connection, and I am blessed and well. Have a great day!
Comment from Wendy G
Well done. You have been through great loss, but have found release and help through your excellent writing. Life experiences often form the foundation stones for authenticity in writing whether it be the pain of reality in non-fiction or the escape into a different world of imagination in fiction. Best wishes for the contest.

Thank you so much Wendy for reading my flash. It's difficult to cram so much in a carry on suitcase when it came out of several trunks LOL. Thank you so much for the review. Have a great day!

Carol that was amazing. How did you do it? I cannot imagine trying to condense a life into 150 words. Talk about extreme ups and downs. Well written. Best of luck in the contest. Esther

Comment from Sallyo
Writing makes for a grand thread through the rollercoaster. Grand entry... I've read all the entries so far. I like the metaphor here and the childhood references. Childhood informs us (obviously).

You are to be commended for overcoming so many obstacles, both when you were young and after you grew up. I wish you had more words to explain how writing became your lifeline. Rod

The style of writing here fits the topic very well as the author gallops effectively through a life filled with action and activity and some obstacles - well done.

The ups and down of life is enough to make one queasy, but the object is to hang on and finish the ride. Appreciate your kindness and the review. Have a great day!
Comment from LJbutterfly
You have written a compelling story including all sorts of challenges you had to struggle to overcome. I understand why you consider your life a roller coaster ride. I'm glad you are a writer. Writing helps one sort things out. I especially like that even though you pushed through depression, you ended your short story looking forward to new beginnings. I wish you the best in the contest.

Though there are dark clouds hanging around, I am in a better place than I have been in a very long time. I know being with friends on Fanstory and being able to write again has been my lifejacket and I am so appreciative. Have a great day!

I think most of us can relate to this, writing has become a great support, getting us in touch with our innermost person. I admire what you've done with your life, using the the therapy of scribing as a foundation. Beautifully written, good luck, blessings Roy

Having been blessed with the ability to write since I was young, I feel God intended it to be my coping mechanism and to use it well. I hope I have reached his expectations. Life has its ups and downs but I know I am not alone.
