Having ADHD is a benefit to grant writing. People with ADHD are calm only in chaos. Shuffling through rejection after rejection and staying positive is tough.
The advice given by Cheryl Petrice Derricotte was invaluable.
“The best way to get over rejection is to win!” – Cheryl Patrice
CHOSEN is here!
Becca, (Rebecca Ashley) has a lot to be thankful for. She solved her art instructor’s murder before graduating art school, and left for Paris, France with her international outlaw companion.
Now, back in San Francisco, Becca is adjusting to life as a paid artist working as a cataloger and host at an an auction house. Things are less than perfect. Clark remains unavailable overseas, and could be arrested, there are conflicting personalities at work over a co-worker/stripper, and none of this compares to her estranged Aunt Allison’s apparent suicide down in Santa Cruz.
Becca meets Sebastian, a graduate student who was a friend of her Aunt’s and involved in her suicide investigation. Helping her family down in Santa Cruz, Becca puts together additional information that points at murder instead of suicide. With Sebastian’s help, Becca uncovers a secret cult, back room deals with the Catholic Church, and a multitude of deaths all leading back to a ghost town in the Santa Cruz Mountains.
Or should I say, half marathon pics are in. It’s my dream to run a full marathon, but by mile 13 I was weighing my possibilities. Could I really turn around and do this again?
The marathon is named after Pheidippides, a Greek messenger, delivered news that the Persians had been defeated in the Battle of Marathon.
Time to party, right? Wrong.
After delivering the good news he dropped dead. Oh, well.
Do I really want to sign up for a full? IDK.
This was a lot of fun, and I learned so much. Thanks again everybody!
