Sounds like you got a long way with your goals. I take it the shorts were for the book of memoirs? I'm trying to persuade my wife to write one of those. Sometimes when there are a few minutes of time over at the end of a class, she apparently tells the children a story from her youth. They are always well-received although I suspect some of the children think she's stretching it a bit with some of them.
Like the one about how the whole school went on a pine-cone hunt one fine day in autumn each year. Each child had a pillow-case with him or her, and the object was to fill the pillow-cases with pine cones. Why? The pine cones were fuel for the school heating system during the winter, and just as they now have a monitor for each week in junior school classes, in those days they had one child whose duty was to keep the boiler stoked for that week.
Anyway, well done with your output. What's SS retirement BTW?

Yes, she should write them down. And yes many of the essays were for the two non-poetry books + others that are not published and for blog stuff. The stories are being marketed and possibly for a future collection.
SS is Social Security -- the government retirement program everyone pays into. The amount paid in determines the monthly retirement benefit....I have a idea what it will be but need to find out definitively....otherwise could still have to return to the evil corporate world.
