Ross E Silke: Let's hope things change for the better come Easter. Here in Canada they are reassessing the opening of closures across the province April 13, right after. Let's pray the virus is under control by then, although it may take over a year for a cure, this could become a new way of life for awhile. Regardless, a very happy Easter and Good Friday weekend! Stay safe and celebrate at home. :0))

Ross E Silke: I just received a large grant in the mail from Tyndale university/seminary to finish in September studying in Bible Studies and English. I'm very excited. They have courses in C.S. Lewis even. I hope the virus is gone by then, lol. :0))

Ross E Silke: Some interesting facts to know about coronavirus:

1. Mild cold-like to fever, coughing, shortness of breath are all clue symptoms
2. Avoid cats, bats as leading carriers wash hands before and after handling pets
3. Don't touch your face, mouth, eye rubbing
4. Wash hands with soap and water frequently for 20 seconds.
5. Don't go out unless you have to

Ross E Silke: Stay safe this season and remember the common signs of the virus are flue, coughing, and shortness of Breath. I just published a new book Beat the Bug to help during this pandemic on Amazon. Stay inside if you can and keep about one metre to two metres apart from others for social distancing. I hope to be back soon. :0)

Ross E Silke: Sorry I am away over the Christmas holiday season right now, but rest assured I'll be back soon. I'm still writing and have two new books being published at this time on Amazon you can look for under my first and last name: The True Story of Christmas: The Real Story, and Santa Plans to Retire, a short story book for all ages. God bless you this Christmas! Warm hugs. Also, look for Christmas Eve Sonnets by the Fireplace 1-3 now available on Amazon. :0))

Ross E Silke: I was recently accepted into Tyndale with a scholarship to finish my education. The award was quite unexpected for all the work I've done to date. Very excited; in the English and Bible Studies/Worship and Creative Arts. I hope to fulfill my potential in the coming years in the field of arts, writing, teaching, and education. Have a very merry, beautiful Christmas!

Ross E Silke: I'm taking some time off FanStory at this time; thank you for all your support and helping me to become a better writer! I hope to be back soon. Enjoy the new season of Fall--here in Ontario, Canada. I appreciate all my FanStory fans and hope to be in touch again soon. Please look for my book publications on Amazon under my first and last name. Blessings,

Ross E Silke: I'm happy to announce that I completed a Certificate in Academic Writing at Queen's University in Canada where I have been attending. I took courses in Effective Writing, Creative Writing, Modular Writing, and Literary Non-Fiction to obtain this. I'm concluding my time at the university now after many years and leave with this to help with my writing endeavours. I felt to share.

Ross E Silke: Summer is a time to celebrate in the sun and rhyme up some summer salad poetry. :0)) I'm sure in a month we will want the summer to go away and embrace Fall and Winter again; until then, write in the sun! Best,

Ross E Silke: Am I allowed to announce this? I'm so excited that I made my first ever book sales this week after publishing on Amazon.--I didn't think they would really sell so it's very encouraging. I much enjoy the writing process and will keep working toward bettering myself and my writing as I find it opens up a whole new world apart from the natural world we so often get consumed in. Thanks for all your help.

Ross E Silke: Poetry is a great way to heal in writing from the heart, and then it is contagious when we share it to help others. When we're facing life challenges and circumstances, poems can help overcome them and conquer our mountains. In a way, it is like a weapon that fights to heal our soul and gives us more control over life's ordeals.

FanStory wrote to Ross E Silke: Congratulations! Honorable mention in the reviewing contest!

Ross E Silke: "God bless us, everyone!"--Charles Dickens, 'Tiny Tim', in "A Christmas Carol." :0))

Ross E Silke: Happy Easter! Find time to celebrate with family, friends, and loved ones this precious season, and take time to remember its true meaning at the cross of Calvary. Spend time thanking God for every good thing and praying in the new season with your hearts desires, hopes, and dreams. Best to all and to yours as well,

Ross E Silke: Happy Palm Sunday, April 14. Today we celebrate, the weekend before Easter. :0))

Ross E Silke: Happy Resurrection Holiday season (Easter) to everyone!! I don't think it's too early to post a special greeting! May you, your family, friends, and loved ones be blessed as we celebrate this season. Don't forget to put chocolate (preferably those in the shape of rabbits) on your list too, and try to get out to a Sunday service to remember why we celebrate. :0)) Best,

Ross E Silke: Writing is a way to heal the mind and soul; we write to help ourselves then we want to display it for others to read, thus passing on the torch. But we should always write with others in mind too so they can best understand us, after all the writer has the most information, but often times we forget that the reader may not know. Author notes are handy for that as well. :0))

Ross E Silke: Happy spring!! March 20 marked spring equinox! It is a new season of newness!! Happy resurrection holiday season as well, approaching in less than a month! It's a great time to write about these seasons too!

Ross E Silke: I find writing poetry is a great way to battle through life's harder days and to even gain some authority over life's cares by writing about them. It doesn't have to be perfect but writing gets the emotions on paper and clears the mind and heart. It gives us courage to face life, our poems.
