Floating Like A Leaf On The River of...
Monday, June 16th, 2025 I'm sitting this, here in Starbucks, like Thad Beaumont, looking out the window at the trees beyond the light blocker or whatever the heck it is called. I'm really glad that those typing lesson[s] from middle school paid off! Haha.

8 Day Challenge (Day #1): A Retrospective
About to hit the ground running, so wish me luck!! I set up plans for each month as part of what you may incorrectly equate to my New Year's Resolution. As a matter of what, I have left that at the wayside, because no goal is less than the sum of its parts come its resolution.

The Challenge
Since last Sunday, my mother has been on a roll, blasting out (as of this writing) 43 pages of story!!! I am quite proud of her, breaking new ground for herself like this. I don't know where it will ultimately lead her, but she is immersing herself in it. I don't mean to insinuate a negative connotation or anything by saying this, but in its way it feels like a miracle. To see anybody so inspired is a happening to behold, I think. Here is my own submission. As you may know, as evidenced by my Vocal catalog (which will become 185 with this entry), I am no stranger to extensive writing. So putting out a five page, five chapter story was hardly the exercise in achievement to shift my entire life. Of course, that is not to say that miracles cannot happen. Like I said, she hit the ground running, churning out far more than at least a guideline deemed adequate. And I am so proud of her for unleashing her all, and unchaining herself in her way. \m/. I love you, Mom .\m/ ~

Work For Acceleration & Work For Momentum
The general concept expanded upon here is the notion of side work and its necessity, in the grand scheme of success and efficiency: as being suitable for helping to lay and maintain a foundation, but not to construct it outright.

Confluence
August [24th], 2024 The following revisits my approach to publishing by way of mish-mashed bits and pieces, leaving it up to cohesion of the circumstantial. I hope this finds you on the cusp of even the most minimalist of inspirations. Thank you.

Reflections Of Destiny
August 12th, 2024 (Edited/Finalized on the 14th) Outliers: An Outline Forms The following is a catalog of music which has captured my imagination and willpower, taking hold at stages grand and small throughout my life. It is by all means the closest approximation to fact that I can surmise to muster, and yet is by any comfort a stranger to exhaustion. I have approached it from as delicate of an angle as I can, assured at least that even these tracks are rich in themselves, and necessary to share. Of course, it is my own experiences which have brought me to own them so, and by no means is that guaranteed to mean anything at all to the pursuits of your own filters or subjection.

Of Ether Bridges Built
What Is The Meaning Of This? A Preface This is another "story" for the graveyard, basically. It is a mish-mash of unrealized wholes which may or may not paint a shared, let alone ragtag, significance. Honestly, you can blame the 600 word minimum for submissions for it. Some things simply don't need all that much space to speak. That's all that needs to be said, really, no "pun" or otherwise intended. The point simply stands in practice; in principle; at attention. For what it's worth, I hope you enjoy it. Even the minutest parts of it all. Thank you for your continued support, no matter how "formed". - Z

I've got nothing
The words you see now are coming from a will squeezed of any sap of merit I can manage. I honestly have no internal drive to pursue the things that I feel I could work to contribute to society in exchange for some "justified" peace. I think part of the problem is seeing so many outlets fulfilled and seeing the fruits of so many contributors that its like anything I would have to share or add has already done before. And when barely anyone listens, then what the hell is the point?

Trial Balloons
************** July 3rd, 2024 ************** No leader will please you all of the time. Even the greatest will indelibly bring a note of discord to the table. A proximity to all is the antithesis of a proximity to one. I think one of my troubles (trade-offs) where writing is concerned is preferring to get my thoughts out immediately and not delegate their unfolding to the reception of a book, coddled under the might of a reader's post-indulgence introspection. Perhaps the ultimate concepts of stories are best told by the arranging of pieces beyond planning; preconception;

Like Leaves On The Forest Floor
June 28th, 2024 Me and my niece are sitting here on the couch, laptops out, tackling our urges toward purpose, importance, love, and the like. Of course, I'm here to craft and article, and she's here to play and hang with me. She had hers open before me, so it may be more than standard coincidence which has brought us to these moments now.

-- Through The Veil Of Interpretation --
< June 25th, 2024 > As well as the "Z", which I only just noticed... Observation Of The Mourning So I haven't been led to suggest this much at all, but perhaps it is best to make sure that a sink is working before lathering. Especially when in a public restroom, and particularly when there is a mite more than unseen bacteria on a palm pump...
