About this ebook
No matter how short you life is or long, if you sit down and think about it, you'll realize that you can remember some things better than others.
After 2 years, I revisited this, and determined that it needed minor corrections.
No matter how short you life is or long, if you sit down and think about it, you'll realize that you can remember some things better than others.
This will seem like a strange book for you to read, but I had a purpose in putting it together. I've found out during my life that I made many good decisions, and probably just as many bad.
Self documentation of ones life gives you a personal view that no one else can achieve; if you are honest in you evaluation of each day. Days, weeks, months, and maybe years later you'll see how the events (that you may have considered trivial) affected your life. Some may even have been pivotal points affecting your present circumstances.
Author
Stephen Brandon
I've loved westerns and science fiction since I picked up my first book at the public library. I've been writing on my computer for years. I never planned on any of my stories being published, just to be read by myself, family, and friends. The base journal is on forty spreadsheets with links to about a thousand files of short one day paragraphs plus other stories. {My claim to fame, written by someone else. Thanks.} "As an earthbound retiree, Stephen writes mostly science fiction and short stories. He is a voracious reader and has written for a few years, publishing his stories on Smashwords."
