When we came back from overseas, changed in ways we didn’t yet know, and walked a real city again, Larry told me you need to get away from the actual experience of something before pondering it too hard. Lay some distance down, he said. 39 years ought to do it.
I thoroughly enjoy everything you write, Victor, and thank you for sharing a piece of your life and experience in this story. I look forward to your posts. Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much Brian. Your support and encouragement means a lot to me. You keep up the great work too. Just saw your article about the KDP process slide into my email. Will take a look; that's valuable stuff to know and navigate.
Life does come at us, brother. And death. I feel for the loss of your friend. This resonates: "You’ve got to rip it up by the roots every couple of years and shove it into other soil".
Thank you Mike. I read your sentences and feel a sense of betterment (if that's a word) and connection. It was a long time ago, but Tuesday and the anniversary date aligned, thought I'd let the world know I haven't forgotten. Again, many thanks and you too, keep well.
This one too, captures my attention. I think of you sometimes when I'm reading George Saunders' book on writing. I think, I bet Victor would love this! I do and I'm hardly ever a fiction writer. :)
Thank you Mitchell. It was indeed a long time ago and life goes on, but with the alignment of Tuesday and an anniversary, thought I'd put it out there. I appreciate you reading. All the best.
I hear you Edward. Mistakes, successes, forgetfulness, and remembrances all play a part, kind of a mixed stew that makes us human. Many thanks for reading and sharing.

This was a powerful read, Victor. Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you Winston. I appreciate you reading and commenting. It makes a wonderful difference. All the best....

Thank you Andrew. I appreciate your support. Haven't seen the book, but likely can find it easy enough. All the best!

Thanks for the reminder Edward. I've read some Joseph Campbell, but a long time ago. Maybe time to revisit and refresh.
