If it was your one and only, I hope you didn't give up on that pursuit too soon. <br /><br />To tell the truth, lots of songs are the "right" ones, but if I had to pick just one, it'd be "My Special Angel."

I haven't submitted much, but have had a few things published, and if I can do it, so can you. (I know whatcha mean about grammar and spelling errors, but editors deserve some of the blame.

Evident...A very touching and nicely written story!<br /><br /><i>Evidently, the magazine editor didn't agree.</i><br /><br />I've submitted several of my stories to various publications and had them all turned down. While I realize I am light-years away from being a Vonnegut or Hemingway some of the stories these same outlets have published have seemed crude in my tastes. I have even spotted the occasional error in grammar and spelling which blows my mind.
