All About Me

Evidently I was born, although I do not remember the party. Stories indicate I had a pink carnation in the nursery that I greatly admired. I was one of the lucky ones. I have a wonderful family, filled with curiosity, acceptance and more than our fair share of laughter. We have

our tragedies and trials, but somehow, we usually manage to band together and face them with as much strength as possible.

My husband and I have been together for… let’s say we met in 1983. He is not only my companion and friend, but also the guardian of my imagination. I imagine I am not easy to live with on a regular basis, especially because I am not always present where my feet are, but I also tend to babble and talk to my characters as I am plotting. Yes, he deserves a medal.

For thirty years, I was the teacher in a classroom. It was an experience I would never give up and I hope I made a difference for those students, but underneath the apple crusted desk, I was always a writer, an observer and a student of human behavior and responses. My imagination tends to fly in a million directions and it takes a cage to keep it focused.

Welcome to my world of NewEarth. I hope you enjoy the people, the setting and the story. Sign up for my newsletter to find out more about me and the world I created.

Driving was impossible, as too many people found out. Fortunately we were able to hunker down and stay put. My parents ventured forth in an attempt to go to see my niece, but turned around and successfully made it…

Job Hunt Continues

By Julia Schmeelk | April 12, 2019

I keep filling out applications. Some interesting opportunities are around. One of them is working for a company that produces and sells educational supplies. I applied for development positions. There are jobs, don’t get me wrong, but I want to work close to home. No more than 30 minutes by car, so in an emergency I can get back home. I would take a job working from home, but the…
