Introduction to The Debra Ann Experience

Hi, everyone! My name is Wa Agya “Kelly” IyIMeeMe, and I am an alien boy living on the world Acca. Acca is one of many life-bearing worlds of the Senuv Galaxy many trillions of light years from the Milky Way Galaxy where I used to live as a Human on the planet Earth.

The Senuv Galaxy is a barred galaxy with many blue, yellow, green, and white suns and lots of quasars, thus giving the galaxy a green-blue appearance when seen from space. In one of the arms of this galaxy resides Acca, a

You might consdier skipping the "hi everyone" at the beginning -just go right into the prologue. Is this a story for kids? I got that impression but just not sure. Also - the color of the suns you mention = I've never heard of a green sun, was this intentional or oversight? What is a "barred" galaxy? (spiral galaxy?)

The Debra Ann Experience is a series of fiction stories about the life of a disturbed child named Debra Ann Smithson ranging from Debbie's birth to mid-40's, and it is intended for parents, teachers, psychiatrists, etc. who might come into contact with a person such as Debra Ann. The green suns are intentional, and the Senuv galaxy can be called a spiral galaxy. Wa Agya IyIMeeMe is a young male student who is enrolled in "Abnormal Psychology of the Human Being 101" a class at the Academy of Science. If you would like to read the whole first part of the series (it runs at about 30 single-spaced pages when printed on both sides of the paper), I can email it to you. But if I do this, will I lose my electronic rights? Please reply. Thank you very much.

If you email a story to someone, that's like sending them a letter, neither email or letter-writing is considered publishing.

You use up your electronic rights when you publish your story electronically, and one of the ways to publish a story electronically is to post the whole thing on a website.

So if someone here asks you to email your story to them, you can do that without worrying about using up your electronic publication rights.

Don't send it unless they ask you to, though.
