Of course; I don't go on thid page very much anymore, due to being much too sick with lung cancer among other terminal ills. Please don't think I am ignoring you or don't wish to communicate. I REALLY DO; as well as th e fact, not you or recent others, but many won't reply or will they look at my works here, as you can more than likely see-for a very, very long time. I pretty much stopped communicating with them because this said fact.

Fortunately I have never once faced writer's block. I am very lucky about this. I imagine I never get this affliction of we writers, because of the fact, I am perpetually creating things, even though I may not writer them down. I have literally created a life for myself to live, but like anything humans have in their meager arsenal, they are very limited, and hence I can only trek so far with this said creation. My very life, and all it entails, save for what I place in my NONFICTION books, which includes fiction books if some elements are based on reality, which I always tell the reader at the ending of the books; a manufactured life-not the religion, and not the beauty, as well as the unspeakable heinousness I also mentioned is highly realistic as it is appauling.

For 'me," the best things about being a writer is the privilege of sharing my words of wisdom and my pain, as well as my rare manner of imagination that has been gifted to me by the glorious mind of God. It has literally broken down often the greatest barriers in my personal life, especially concerning specifics about my heinous cruelties I have suffered and barely survived. To be able to actually speak my mind, as it were, and to teach God's greatest lessons in which He has taught me. The ways I have touched peoples' lives by my words and agonies I have underwent, as well as the literal enlightenment I have received as an individual so imperfect, but so evolved. It has quite literally saved me from being further victimized, and has won me the recognition I deserve, but in a humble manner of the mentioned. I am able to leave behind my legacy of books that have graphically taught people, and have given people information they could not have received under normal circumstances. Again, this sense of "LEGACY" I have been finally able to give to humankind as a woman of God, the Buddha, and as someone, who although handicapped in body only, and catastrophically ill medically and bodily, the beautiful states of mind which comes form knowing the sacred ones I have mentioned. Also to be able to expiate and to open the dark and black oppressive curtain of a graphic heinousness that is so rare, and so criminal, that must be known by all. On the same token, to also give the world a glimpse of such beauty of the spirit that is just as rare, and only can come form knowing God.

My advice for aspiring writers is never be afraid to be yourself; to be honest with your feelings, no matter how negative or how jubullent they may be. Believe in what your writing, and always never forget to have plenty of warrant amidst your words. Never be fearful of writing one's truest feelings and aspirations.

I am working on my final book, which is my 15th title, but I am only waiting for the money to get it published, which will have to come out next year before my passing. I have written about it on "my posts" page, Lama Milkweed L. Augustine [PhD]. The book is called "Jennings: Testament of a Slot Machine; Testament of a People."

I wrote a lengthy synopsis in my first book of poetry, SONGS OF MILKWEED, A GIFT FROM THE FIELDS VOL I, at the book's beginning about such a question. Writing for me, as both a Buddhist leader, and as one of religion itself, was the mainstay of the place where I could be myself, and where I could expiate all of my emotions and my dreams;both real and imagined. God, long ago, came to me and told me flat out, that my words would literally change peoples lives and perceptions of the world, as well as of themselves. My words have moved mountains, as they were copiously used in the Government issues concerning the plight of the condemned prisoners among us, and helping people of Tibet, as well as being a Buddhist religious leader who followed the only true God; our Lord Jesus Christ. In the church was where I was able to speak in volumes and help those in the Ordained classroom as a Professor so young; much more young than my seniors in our maroon robes. It was God who wanted me to write for not only this aspect, which is just as vital, but in addition, it was to .learn more about myself, and to delve further into the deepest reaches of the living spirit, hence becoming the individual I am today. Writing has also been the only cipher that allows me to not only be myself as said, but to allow myself to be and to thrive, and to expiate the agonies I was victim.

My recent book is CASINO CHILD; KING OF THE SLOT MACHINES and was published this year. It was redundantly from my life spent in isolation, both physically and psychologically, and eventfully, as well as socially. I have grown up with slot machines, becoming a technician years ago, and growing up beside pinball and working on them even earlier that slot machines, which began in 1973 at the age of only 6. [I depthfully spoke of this in DYING AND LOVING IT.] My life of religious faith and already being gifted with an uncanny imagination, which posed as my only savior, next to God and the Buddha's teachings infused copiously with God, got me through a literally heinous existence filled with abuse, terrible neglect, as well as brutal torture, hence machines are all I have ever had; save for my God, and what I had just said. These books, no matter how strange they may be, or whatever label of classification one claims about them, literally saved me from the clutched of something more dark and menacing than most of the mentioned. Writing some of the most powerful pieces of literature I have ever done for the public eyes and senses.
