Proud to Serve, But the War Wasn’t Over For Him

October 27, 2014 by Sonia Marsh 1 Comment

He Was Proud to Serve

“My Gutsy Story®” by Jane Franklin

He was seventeen and he wanted to be a Marine, as luck would have it the Marines were glad to have him. Vietnam, a quagmire in southeast Asia, the nineteen sixties, either you were for it or against it.He had no idea what the war was actually about, he just knew he wanted to travel. Maybe the war would be done before he turned eighteen, children think like that.

After enduring basic training he got his eighteenth birthday gift. An all expense paid vacation in Vietnam, he had been wrong about the war ending before his birthday. He gambled it would but the Marines gambled it wouldn’t. He left a boy, but he came back a man.

War was a life altering experience for him, he was a good soldier and did what he was told. He learned to love the men who served beside him, there was no black, no white,no brown, they were all brothers, they’d die for each other. He was wounded and managed to joke about it as though a night in a rice paddy, outnumbered and wounded was no big deal.

Finally he got his orders and headed home. Chronologically he was nineteen but older than time in his soul. He managed to put behind him the woman who spit in his face at the airport when she saw his uniform. Proud to be a soldier and she spits at him and calls him a baby killer. He threw away his medals, the purple heart and all the others and pretended he never served. For years he had nightmares and cried out in his sleep.

It was about this time that he and I crossed paths, we fell in love almost immediately, I was attracted to his self confidence and the kindness in his eyes. I noticed the scars he had and it was the first time he’d even mentioned having been in military service. He had little to say so I didn’t press him about it. I was naive and didn’t know the damage war can do.

One day he came home from the doctor and told me he was diabetic, thirty six years old and in otherwise perfect health. He was a very active man physically. He had not gained a pound in the years of our marriage, he ate healthy and didn’t drink alcohol. There didn’t seem to be any diabetes in his family at the time and this didn’t make sense to me.He controlled the disease through diet and exercise.

As the years went by the diabetes worsened which is normal and he adjusted accordingly. Then I started reading about Agent Orange and I felt a chill in my heart. Lots of men who served in Vietnam were showing up at the VA hospitals with some disturbing symptoms. Cancers, skin disorders and Type 2 Diabetes. I realized that the war wasn’t over for him at all, it was just beginning.I will always be grateful for his VA representative, he fought for us.

The man who used to be so graceful has trouble stepping onto a curb now. Neuropathy has taken all the feeling out of the bottoms of his feet, except the pain, it is excruciating sometimes. His career is a distant memory now, dialysis keeps him pretty busy. The retirement we looked forward to is never going to happen. We’re not working but in a way we work harder than ever.

Sometimes at his VA medical appointments I look around me and I see the same thing, some poor guy of a certain age and a wife walking along with him. No soldier complains about their actual service, they don’t feel sorry for themselves even though they were all cheated.Many of them never got to be old men, many of them never even knew what killed them. They are dying every day. Ghosts of the brave young men who marched off to war and came back thinking their service was done.

What kind of government sprays an insecticide strong enough to kill vegetation and doesn’t know it will kill people too. Forgive me if I sound unpatriotic, a soldier sacrifices, it’s expected. What he didn’t expect was to leave the war alive and whole only to find out he’ll be a fatality anyway. We adjust and go on. In my nightmares a soldier hands me the tightly folded flag and thanks me for my husband’s service.William Craig Franklin will be another fatality, doomed at eighteen, he just didn’t know it.

JANE FRANKLIN was born and raised in North Carolina. She currently shares her life with her husband of thirty eight years, two Boxer dogs, four cats, and one elderly parrot. All of them plus children and grandchildren provide inspiration for her stories. My stories can be found on www.readwave.com/jane

169 — William Craig Franklin and grandchild

SONIA MARSH SAYS: Your love and admiration for your husband is beautiful, and we thank you and him for sharing, and reminding us of the long-term effects of war on soldiers.

“I probably should have mentioned the reason I thought of this story. Every day my husband lives is gutsy for him. He has taken a life that was active and rewarding and adapted to just having a life. He never complains and the simple joy of being a grandpa has taken the place of playing golf or traveling. My husband is the bravest person I’ve ever met and in a lifetime of amazing people I consider him to be the best thing that ever happened to me, 38 years together and I still consider him my best friend as well as life partner.”

How to Turn Your Book Into A Film or Television Project

October 24, 2014 by Sonia Marsh 3 Comments

Dete Meserve is President of Wind Dancer Films, a film development, finance and production company based in Los Angeles, and New York. The company has created TV hits such as Roseanne and Home Improvement, two of my favorite shows and produced the movie, What Women Want, a movie I enjoyed, and watched several times.

I had the pleasure of meeting Dete at the Southern California Writers Association where she gave a speech on, “How to Turn Your Book Into A Film or Television Project,” to anxious authors, including me.

Most authors believe their books should be turned into a movie, and sometimes, we are naive. I for one, believe that my family adventure memoir, would make a great movie, but would it?

That’s where we all need to get real.

It’s not about us and our story. It’s about what will make the movie producers money, and will the public pay $12-15 to watch it on the big screen?

I listened to Dete explain the film and TV business and these are my notes which I hope will help you realize why it’s so difficult to get your book into film.

Right now, the US film industry is focusing on the big budget movies: 150-250 million blockbusters.
It’s very difficult to get started in the film industry if you don’t have an agent.
It’s very difficult to get an agent
Agents tend to go with those people they have built a relationship with
TV is a hungry medium looking for great ideas
Writers need to have a log line (25-30 words giving an exciting pitch about the movie.)
Tell me what the story is about rather than a cliche
Very often it’s a 24-year-old intern who will look at your book first
They take your book and write a synopsis
It’s better if you write your own synopsis
Focus your attention on TV- more opportunities than a feature film
Don’t write you screen play unless you already have screen credits
Big screenwriters don’t want to share writing credits with you
Don’t attach unknown people to your screenplay
Don’t attach actors to your screenplay unless you know they are “meaningful” or “bankable.”
The Director is the key person
Nobody wants to produce a book that only sold 200 copies
Character driven pieces work in TV
TV wants strong characters
Domestic abuse, Bipolar stories and mental illness are very hard to get made into a movie or TV as most people don’t want tp send money watching those kind of movies.
It takes longer to sell a book as people have to read it
TV movies are much easier to make than a theater movie
Think of all your personal connections and see if anyone you know can help you
Find an agent or producer that’s passionate; not just the big names
The big names may not be the best for you
If you get rejected, it may have nothing to do with your book, but just being able to get financing
Don’t give up,
Niche movies are in
If you get a film option, you may be looking at $2,500-$75,000 for an 18-month period which means they have the right to develop it into a movie
If your book gets turned into a movie, ask for the money upfront, rather than on the back end.
It’s better for writers to have a short option rather than a long one
The Director of the movie is King
Most writers make a living on options only.

Of course I gave a copy of my Readers’ Favorite Gold Medal memoir to Dete, especially as Wind Dancer Films is involved with this festival on November 22nd in Miami, Fl, and I shall be there to collect my gold medal

Freeways to Flip-Flops: A Family’s Year of gutsy Living on a Tropical Island won the GOLD Medal for MEMOIRS at the READERS FAVORITE AWARDS.

Having the Courage to Be Myself

October 20, 2014 by Sonia Marsh 4 Comments

Having the Courage to Be Myself

“My Gutsy Story®”-Lee Lomas

Playing it safe landed me a single woman and living alone for the first time at the boomer age of forty-nine. I lived with my family until I was sixteen. Pregnancy took me by surprise, and after knowing the guy for four months, we married. Four daughters and six abusive years later, I divorced, and had a roommate for one year.

I announced myself as a lesbian at the age of twenty-three. At twenty five, I fell in love with a woman. After our seven year relationship ended, we remained friends living one more winter together. I met my next partner by chance, and after seventeen years together, we were done.

As the leaves began to change and fall in 2009, I began to rise.

Living outside of Chicago may as well have had me living across the country, as I had only traveled there a few times. My coworkers said, “I was too cautious, too straight-laced”. They told me that, “I needed to get out more and do things”. So, I joined a lesbian group that met for dinner once a month at different ethnic restaurants. Expanding both my palate and my safety net was tantalizing. I met the real lesbians, those confident in who they were, could navigate the city and knew how to treat a woman right. They spoke the lingo and were acquainted with everything lesbian related. I had been a lesbian for 20+ years and was like a baby learning new things. Another group attended plays, explored the city, Navy Pier, went to concerts, and hiking. Then I joined a few dating sites.

Please refrain from spitting your coffee across the room. If you have been on these sites, you know there a bunch of freaks out there? The dating scene had always been unfamiliar to me, after marriage, I immediately went into two long term relationships one after the other. So at the ripe ole age of forty-nine, I had to get to know me, before I could answer questions posed with setting up my profile. A few times I stopped and thought, what the hell are you doing? It took me months and quite a bit of editing to push the submit button. It’s pretty easy to say on the computer screen, I like this, or I don’t like that in a person. It reminded me of what we think of when looking for a house. I won’t have a place without a fireplace. Then the most beautiful place is available without that much wanted fireplace. Do I move forward or stick to my likes and dislikes? My biggest dislike was trying to box myself into their format. If I indicated I didn’t want to date an alcoholic because my dad died of alcoholism, I was interrogated and told it wasn’t my place to judge. If I didn’t want to date a person who smoked, I had to explain that I was an ex-smoker who didn’t want to kiss anymore ashtrays.

Later that summer, plans fell through to vacation with a friend. I thought now what? I had never vacationed alone. The idea was enticing and scary. A few friends had been to Colorado over the summer and showed me photos. The beautiful mountain scenery yanked on my heart strings and I smiled and said why not. The internet had an overwhelming amount of information. As a member of Sierra Club, I contacted a few members who were hiking Mount Evans the weekend following my arrival.

As vacation time neared, I packed my hiking gear, gathered essential goodies for the drive, and secured my bicycle to the back of my new jeep. I left my contact info with family, and was ecstatic about leaving. An ex-coworker was told I was heading her way, she invited me to stay at her house in Colorado Springs. How apropos.

I drove two days, stopping along the way to ride my bicycle around small unknown towns. The second night as I checked into the hotel, I carried my bicycle up the stairs. I turned around and in the sky were several hot air balloons. I rode around until I found where they were landing and was mesmerized. The moment I crossed the state line, I was in love. The scenery captivated my heart. I knew I was home.

During those two weeks, I caught up with an old friend. I drove up to Boulder, had my palm read, the woman said, “You need a little color in your life”. I rode a bicycle 19 miles down Pikes Peak Mountain. We started in the snow, dressed like the Michelin Tire woman, down through pouring rain, ended at a winery, to recap and eat. I hiked my first 12,000+ summit; I couldn’t breathe and thought I would die on that mountain. My fellow hikers cheered me on, pointed out scenery, just so I could stop to catch my breath. Hiking and biking in Colorado had a whole different meaning than in Illinois. Garden of the Gods was a natural wonder of its own.

2009 was a year to remember! Two weeks of pushing the boundaries in life. Everyone should experience a vacation alone. It’s a time to come home to yourself. I moved to Colorado the following February and met a woman, an artist and very colorful soul. We have been together for almost five years and had our Civil Union at the Garden of the Gods and six months later we were married in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I dropped my first name, took my wife’s last name and Lee Lomas was born.

Bio

Lee Lomas, Published Author, Speaker and Heart Centered Coach

I educate, encourage and inspire women to discover and embrace their power within.

My pieces published under Wanda McCormick until 2013;

Pathway to Courage – A story that covers generational abuse and the heart breaking realization of the direction my life was headed, until I broke the repeating patterns.

You Have Much Stuff – A story about the stuff we carry, we keep physically, mentally and emotionally. Our relationship with not only our stuff but the makeup of relationships within the household. It’s a humorous story that everyone can connect with and ponder.

Fuego – A poem inspired by a painting created by my wife after our house fire.

Emotional Release – Two Fires in Two Years – Realizing my emotions were buried deep within me, when our house caught on fire, my emotions were then released when I saw the flames from Waldo Canyon Fire less than two years later. We were next to be evacuated. I was caught by surprise of how I felt.

Healing in the Midst of Uncertainty – An inspirational message delivered by me on the one year anniversary of the Waldo Canyon Fire, and while in the midst of writing it, another disastrous fire, the Black Forest Fire erupted in that both turned out to be the two worst fires in Colorado history.

My Journey From Suburbanite to Farm Girl

October 13, 2014 by Sonia Marsh 6 Comments

My Journey From Suburbanite to Farm Girl

“My Gutsy Story®” Sherri Martin-Hutchins

I grew up in a cute planned neighborhood where each home sat on about a 1/4 acre. My first home was in a desert subdivision where my living room windows looked directly into my neighbor’s living room barely more than an arm’s length away. My current home is in yet another cookie-cutter neighborhood, albeit with more yard than I’ve had before.

My husband Jeff and I have been happy here in our subdivision surrounded by farms. We’ve learned to grow vegetables, fruits, and this year successfully harvested our first hazelnuts. We certainly haven’t mastered the gardening thing. I’m a little unreliable about watering, we don’t fertilize, and the critters and creatures reap more than we do.

So why did we recently purchase a 76-acre farm an hour away? That’s a fair question. You see, we have this dream.

A year ago Jeff and I started to evaluate what we wanted for our future. Did we want to stay where we were? How did we want to spend our time? With our teenager graduating from high school next year and our toddler not yet in kindergarten, it was a good time to consider whether a change was in order.

We set out in search of a little land. We were hoping for 10 acres- space enough for a proper garden, plenty of room to play, stretch, wander, and breathe, and enough to warrant a tractor (my husband has been asking for one for years).

The more we searched, the more discouraged we became. Many lots were heavily wooded, oddly shaped, or had power lines or gas lines running through them.

And the more we searched, the more our idea grew. What started as simply finding a new place turned into discussions of renting garden plots, offering organic CSA shares (community-supported agriculture), or pick-your-own orchards, berry patches, vegetables, pumpkins, Christmas trees, … the ideas flowed endlessly. We talked about bringing Jeff’s parents and their horse with us. Suddenly 10 acres didn’t look like quite enough.

We began looking for 15-20 acres instead. The land we found interesting got bigger and bigger until ultimately what we purchased was 76 acres of mostly open land- a former tree nursery. Some of it is open fields, some is rows of trees, and some is naturally wooded. It’s a wonderland for us.

Now we are starting the long, hard work of building our house, adding the necessary barns and sheds, and figuring out exactly where we want to take our farm business. And we have to do this all from an hour away while we continue to work, raise our children, and prepare our current house for sale.

Most of the people who know Jeff and I have said they can see this as the right fit for us. A few have questioned whether we know what we’re getting into. Hell, we’ve wondered what we’ve gotten ourselves into. But when we visit our farm (mostly on Saturdays) we feel an overwhelming sense of peace and awe. That’s how I know it’s the next right step.

So begins my journey from suburbanite to farm girl. Wish us luck!
