My Twelfth Publication Of The Year, Which Means...A Story Behind the Story!

 I managed to have a twelfth piece of writing, this one humor, accepted at a publication on the Medium platform. Mountain Lake Resort Timeshares: You'll Wait All Year to Come Back was published in The Haven. I hoped I'd manage to get twelve in this year, which would be averaging one publication a month. It was not a goal, however, because I believe goals should only involve things we can control, and I can't control editors. Or just about anybody, for that matter. What I could control was continuing to write and submit.

I began writing Mountain Lake Resort Timeshares last January, even taking pictures for the illustration then. As more hordes of rabid fans know, I go away every January for a week for a sort of reading retreat. With frolicking in the snow. Unless there is no snow, then there is just frolicking outside in the bleak midwinter.

Our retreat spot is wonderful. People love it there. And they say so in guest books in our timeshare unit. Guest books that go back decades. I cannot exaggerate the beautiful things people say about that spot. Really, really beautiful things. 

Beautiful things are wasted on me, so I wrote Mountain Lake Resort Timeshares: You'll Wait All Year to Come Back.
