Veteran's Day
I wish to take time to salute my fellow veterans fort heir ultimate sacrifice. When I enlisted in June 1979, women were not allowed in combat, but by the time I left the service in December 1992, women were serving their country in combat. In their service to the country, the only thing they proved was that they were just as capable in action as their male counterparts. So when I salute I wholeheartedly include their courageous contributions. To all veterans, I wish to honor you for keeping this country great.
In the meantime, I have been busy writing. As of this edition, I have written 71 K for this month's NaNoWrimo. I also won $200 in a writing contest and received a Top Listed story for Reedsy which I have included in this blog. I am coming to the conclusion I may not be so bad after all, but I want you to be the judge of that. I have included my usual four stories that have been accepted by my weekly input to Reedsy.
