About this series
These are my journal entries of 1994. I had a hard time getting settled here in the city. My biggest struggle was finding housing, because I couldn't afford anything. The cost of living in New York City is absolutely astronomical! That was my first lesson of life inside the Big Apple. Many were the hard knocks and life lessons that were learned during this period. It was a pretty rough and tumble time in my life, and I definitely would not want to repeat or relive it. Some things, such as these, are best left in the past. For all the struggles, hardships, and difficulties that I was having, I did not think that I would last but a year there. Alas, I lived inside N.Y.C. for 15 years.

- My Early Days and Years in New York City: New York City, #4
4
This is a combination piece that combines two shorter works entitled: "My Early Days in New York City" and "My Early Years in New York City." Because these two are very similar in timeframe and theme, I decided to add them both together. This is about my rough-and-tumble start in New York City. It was tough getting settled and established, and it proved an even harder challenge than I had anticipated. I was so young and inexperienced, and I made my share of mishaps and mistakes. Alas, this is what life was like for me during those very early days and years inside New York City.
- My Arrival to (and Early Life in) New York City: New York City, #6
6
This book is about my early beginnings in New York City. It talks about the people I met, the challenges I faced, and the difficulty I had establishing myself in this place. I thought I was going to take the city by storm, but it seems to have swept me away instead. Though I try to understand my mind at the time, I can only come as close as my recollection of it. The real story is told by the letters and journals I wrote at that time. Alas, this serves as simply a snapshot description. This is a combination piece and includes these previously self-published titles: Chapter 01: "My Arrival to New York City;" Chapter 02: "My First Night in New York City;" Chapter 03: "My Early Days in New York City;" Chapter 04: "My Early Years in New York City," and Chapter 05: "My Adjustment to Life in New York."

HELLO!! My name is Lynn and I have been writing privately for many years. Recently, I've been asking myself: "What's the point of all that writing if it stays hidden on my computer and no one ever reads it?" Therefore, I have decided to make my writing public and self-publish it. Admittedly, organizing what has become a mountain of writing is a daunting task indeed, but one I am committed to investing time in. Honestly, my goal was never to be a writer. It's not so much that I like to write as it is my need to get thought out of my head (it helps me to think more clearly). I spend/waste no time on drafts, and what comes out stays on the page with little or no editing. I wish I could have been a pianist or painter (even a dancer!), something that is musical or visual. Alas, writing chose me; and so, I'm collecting pieces I have written over the years and putting them into e-book/print form. THANK YOU!! for purchasing/downloading and reading my title! I hope you enjoyed it. I truly do appreciate it. 😊 😊 😊
