    About this ebook

    The most powerful thing a person can do is to share their life with complete strangers. A writer does this by writing in a way to make your world fade. As an author progresses in their journey to becoming the best they can be, we like to think we are pulling you the reader along with us. This project is about that. Writers write so readers can read. That is the idea anyway. We do appreciate you the reader coming into our worlds for a few minutes. We hope what we have written will take you away from your day just long enough to forget about it.
    Once again, we come before you to stand behind you, the reader, to invite you into our worlds that we have built or in some cases destroy. We hope you enjoy this edition as much as the others. Not read the others? They are available free as well.

      Letters to Mum

      Mar 24, 2021

      Dear Mum, There are still times when I go to call you. It seems inexplicable to me that you actually died. I used to wonder how it would feel, and after 16 years, I’m still not sure. The main thing I want to tell you is that I get it now. I understan

      Rewriting the Story of Your Life

      Foreword

      In a perfect world, all the writers would get a fare break; judged on talent and not how big their wallet is. This is an attempt to give a few authors their just reward for being stubborn and not giving up. Writing is something a writer needs to do. It's not optional, it's like breathing. If we don't write every day, even if it's just a few words, we don't sleep due to the characters in our head demanding that their stories are told. When we get it right then the feeling is the greatest high on the planet. Some Authors say that their work is no good. That it lacks the certain je ne c’est quois to make it with in the world of literature. They are almost always wrong. The big part of any authors experience is not getting it published but getting it read by the masses. Half the battle of any author is to stride onward and even if takes facing their fear of rejection.

      As hard as it appears to be, it is actually the easiest part of the experiences. Facing the fear of the unknown is more of the nail biter. It takes patience and perseverance. Not every story will be that one that makes the grade. The key is to just take everything in stride and know you made a valiant effort. Writers are writers, no matter where they may be from. No matter what their occupation a writer is a writer. The guy next to you on the bus or that offset co-worker who always looks lost I n thought. No matter the region, fiction is fiction. No matter the age of the author, the story remains the same. We as writers strive for that very thing any other non-writer strives for. That is recognition. Recognition of our skills and talents to bend words to fit the need of expression intended to bring you into our world we have created or in some cases destroyed.

      Acknowledgements

      I would like to thank all of the authors that participated in this edition of the June Project. It is called the June Project for the simple reason that I named it after an Author. For an author who is in that transition position of being under a contract and not publishing at all. It’s a process that might never be fulfilled and lost; ready to give up writing all together. My goal is to soon hand off administrative duties to her. I would only be an observer and a willing participant in writing my own stories for the group. A world full of unknown authors await as you turn the pages of this and other collections in the future. We hope you enjoy.

      Live every day, rather than just taking up space.

      Jim, you will be missed. Thanks for all the great conversations.

      The Final Letter

      By

      Aaron R. Roberts

      Dear Mom and Dad.

      If you are reading this, I am going to guess I didn’t make it home the way I left. It is third week in country and standard procedure is to get our affairs in order. You know to let our loved ones know what we would have not time to tell them in the event I was mortality wounded. A time to reflect on what was important to me and what should be known about me. Although I have seven letters written and addressed in my boot locker, this is the most important one.

      Let me first apologize for not taking better care of myself while I was over here. To also say I am sorry for not listening to you both better. I want
