Lane von Herzen: 1099 Verified

My Third Novel's Conclusion, My Heartbreak

My heart begins to break when I think about completing this particular book -- because this narrative has sustained me like no other story I've known. It's both more personal and more universal than my other works. But beyond memory and archetype, it's a cri-de-coeur about needing to become the person one is destined to be. And in the writing, I have met my own life's work, my own fated journey -- having the sense all the while that the pages are suffused with a resonance, an energy, an electrified field that defies explanation. Writers hope and pray to be overtaken by a work in this way -- to be conscripted into passionate service of a profound story. To experience it even once in a lifetime seems a great privilege. I still have several months before this novel is complete, and this constitutes my reprieve. Because I'm not ready for the beauty to end.

1099 Verified

OIG, my 1099 from AFE has been verified as correct by Jim Mellano.

AFE's double dividend payment in 2022, leading to the double total dividend compared to previous years, led me to be concerned over the correctness of this documentation.

I must say that I am now trained to look for inconsistencies and have a tendency to verify that all discrepancies are lawful and well-founded.

Having said that, please accept my apology for raising this concern unnecessarily.

Under the current circumstances, I appreciate your forbearance.
