We are interested in stories that celebrate finding your own way with your family and your child that are personally real and non-judgemental. Thoughtful, respectful personal commentary is also welcomed.
Vignettes are also welcomed and do not need to be of length; in fact, a paragraph will work best.
A vignette is an answer to a question or questions, or a snapshot of your life experience and is less than 500 words.
A story is a biography or story of your life experience. A commentary discusses your thoughts and feelings on a topic.
A collection of personal stories, commentary and vignettes will be used to create this page called Successful.
You can submit your writing (story, personal commentary, vignette) to the editor at editor-lwos@comcast.net
When addressing the editor, specify "Successful" and give your name as you would like it published.
If you find that you have a story of length to share, follow the instructions for Guest Author in the Writer Guidelines.

Dr. Clark in his excellent book that is an extremely valuable resource for high school students applying to colleges, graduates looking for a job and individuals looking to better their earnings noted that "Thomas Edison tried more than ten thousand different experiments, before he finally demonstrated the first incandescent light bulb on October 21, 1879. When asked about persevering despite his failures, Edison remarked 'I didn't fail ten thousand times. I successfully eliminated, ten thousand times, materials and combinations which wouldn’t work.'" After buying and reading Dr. Clark's book, I highly recommend that everyone go to ABCPhD.com and buy it. His book is well worth the price.
