When your tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear the sound
One of the pitfalls of writing is obtaining a viable audience. Everyone who writes desires for their tree to fall in the woods and for there to be someone who hears it. Unfortunately for writers, there is always the possibility that no one will hear your tree hit the ground and that there will be no sound. In the photo, my son and I were walking on a trail when we came to this tree that had fallen.

Grief 101: Standing alone
I am so thankful that Vocal has a category for grief because it enables me to write what I am feeling in order to assist others. As I have said in previous articles, I have dealt with grief, funerals, and cemeteries since age 5. I recall standing in the church cemetery when Great Great uncle Jim was buried. I remember when my cousins had their great grandpa's body in the house the night before the funeral and they cried so loud I could hear them at my home which was about a half block away through a field. As a teen, I sang with the church choir during funerals and went through the traditional motions when people died.

In Canada, a doctor confirmed that Dr. Westbourne has the genetic marker for Huntington's disease for which there is no cure. The ABC soap more than likely will not have a miracle cure because there is none in real time. This puts Kelly Thiebaud's character between a rock and a hard place. The only options are to kill her off, quickly or over a period of time, or find out her diagnosis was wrong.
