: About Me

The following disclaimer explains my feelings about Helium and my 'writing' here. I am not proud of it. I do not suggest reading anything I wrote - I am unable to delete certain things and don't like that any of my articles show up in search engines.

Without the ability to delete many articles, I am forced to leave them up or 'leapfrog' them. The leapfrog options are limited and can only be done at certain times.

Obviously my opinions have changed on many things, I have evolved and learned so much more about writing. My better works are reserved for the reputable places I have been published. I am proud of my work and honored to be working for and or published in other publications.

One, www.standard.net  (search words: commentary or opinion and then my name, Patty Musgrove) 

I enjoy writing and so a couple of years joined this site in order to get some 'good practice'. I did not read the fine print and realized that I could not delete or easily change anything I had written. I have since changed my opinion on many things and feel I am growing and evolving rather fast, making it hard to 'leap frog' every single article on the now limited time I have. I was disappointed when after writing Helium, to find they will not work with me or even budge when it comes to changing their policy or even coming to an agreement with me. So I have left many of the articles as they are. Opinionated and or poorly written. 

I do not suggest writing here or 'working' here unless you read the fine print and are ready for the detailed and intense work it takes to keep up. Unless you are okay with your pieces being on the web forever and not having many editing choices or the chance to delete and create better work.  It has been disappointing to say the least.
