Reality Continued

By Myra Edwina Watkins

The collection of poems and short stories written in poetic form in this book, are of inspired events and experiences. These writings also speaks of a lot of emotional struggles and pain. A facing of realities. I wish that I had all "Good" things to share, but that is not reality. Life is full of ups and downs, good and not so good. There is a wealth of experiences and situations and events that can and did happen. Many will relate, and many will not. Some will absolutely love it, and some will not...That is Reality. Most of what you read here is good reading. It can allow us to look inside ourselves. Many could possibly say, "I know those feelings".."I have felt like that before".. "Ive experienced the same things" or "I thought I was the only one that felt like that"..or something similar. These are not just words put down on paper, It is a wealth of Realities..

Before I started writing, I used to be an avid reader. I loved the ability of the writers, how they could actually make you feel like you were there. Spy novels, detective stories, and of course, the “Love” stories. I would put myself in the main characters role, as long as things were going good. ~Smile~ I especially loved reading the travel books, because it would take me on an adventure that I could not afford, so I would travel with the writers. The way they would describe the scenes, wow, it was beautiful in my mind’s eye (the pictures always helped too). I have always wanted to become a writer and to be able to display the abilities that those good writers have. To be able to share thoughts and emotions and feelings, in a way that the reader can see and feel what is being conveyed. I would hope that what I put down on paper could be of some events or things that others can relate to and to be able to help many people in various situations. Most all that I write, is true to life stories, written in Poetic form, a little different style of telling a story or an experience, or emotional feelings and inner expressions. This is my 3rd book that I am proud to share with everyone. My writings have taken me now over a span of more than 40 years. I would hope that my name and writings will have a good impact on people and that they enjoy my way of expressing and look forward to what I will be writing next. Yes, I would “Love” to make the “Best Seller List”, as any writer would. But, my passion is to be able to provide good reading to my readers. Hopefully someone will benefit by what I have shared, and what I have experienced, and what I have been feeling. So that one other person will no longer feel alone or isolated in the way they feel or what they have experienced. I myself can still come up with some crazy stuff. I like to share, the good, the bad, and the ugly, because that is “life”. I am working on book 4 now, “A New Dawn Rising”, which I hope will be out before the end of the year. I hope that all will be looking forward to the release of this book. I also hope that all those that have read the previous books, “Too Many Stones To Throw” and “Reality Continued”, will enjoy this one “Sharing Is Caring” and share them with friends and family. Welcome again to my world, and my style of writing and sharing. Blessings and Peace be to you all...Enjoy!

I decided on this title, because of the enormity of the

meaning. Out of the 4 meanings that was recorded. I liked these 2 the best… So Reality is, what Reality is. I myself like dealing with Reality. Harsh as it
