Why, Year of the Johnny continued part 3

Part 3...Publish Publish Publish
Homeless and Alone Hungry and Cold ...is most likely the title of memoir served in yummy essay form, mainly because I cannot recollect those years of my life in any true to life timeline. Street Junky is the present working title of the book that will be published this year.
***********************Auto-suggestion******************Have FAITH in myself and FAITH in the infinite. Napoleon Hill suggests that all thoughts which have been emotionalized (given feeling)and mixed with faith begin to immediately to translate themselves into their physical equivalent or counterpart. FAITH is the "eternal elixir" which gives live, power, and action to the impulse of thought. (47,49).

The book deals with my careless and carefree, reckless and wrecked, out of control but still controlled, young, naive and everything but innocent life. These essays take place in the drug crazed 1980's and early to mid '90's.  The stories take place mostly in NY, with a few random trips to the west coast and back and back again. These essays tend to be quite heavy, tragic, sad, and the raw, unfinished version has been described as watching a tragic automobile accident take place. The reader wants to put it down because the writing caused a feeling of despair, but she was unable to stop and put it down because she had to learn the true outcome. Could there be any better compliment?

Another friend said that the essays forced him to take a peak inside himself and confront demons, character flaws, shortcomings, and other defects he didn't know he possessed.

I am on the 3rd re-write and then I will sit down with an editor.

Have to be somewhere....more in a bit maybe...

This is the Year of the Johnny. 1 CASAC  2. MASTER's 3. STREET JUNKY-Homeless Alone Hungry and Cold

Cheers
