Early March 2026: 4 Goals Accomplished
It's early March and I've now accomplished my 4th writing goal for the year of 2026. Before diving into the behind-the-scenes of it... why not tell you up front what that accomplishment was? I was published in a 2nd publication for this year. Published in Helix Literary Magazine out of Central Connecticut State University. You can read it for free right now!

Powerful words, Melissa. I see the red heat, then cold, stark blue. This is really well done.
This was so intense and heartbreaking! Loved your poem!
I object. I did not such thing (as far as I can remember). Poignant & plaintive.
It’s hard when someone just left you in the cold dust. It’s a complete let down 😔Still sending you and your family good vibes and prayers ❤️🙏🏽
