Coal Mine Feathers. Top Story - October 2023.
Your hair, straw inside, but aglow within a summer ray. The memory of summers spent outside in chlorine hoses, water park meetups, and slip n slide splashes, sunlight bleaching whiter shine into the strands your mom cut in the kitchen.

The Imposter Writer–Stop Doubting Yourself. Top Story - October 2023.
On September 21, 2023, Cendrine announced our new essay series: Writing & Self-Empowerment. And here we are! Our aim is simple: To explore what gets writers inspired and keeps us going, even when we tell ourselves that we aren’t worth it. We want to open up discussions about the craft we share, particularly around self-confidence, and bring some optimism into the picture. Any questions you have, we want to try to answer.

Rip This To Shreds (Please?). Top Story - September 2023.
L.C. Shaëfer and Paul Stewart inspired me to finally participate in the #IronMaiden critique challenge. (Go check out their articles, linked previously.) I have made a list of stories I feel could use more insights, whether from lack of engagement here, or because they were rejected elsewhere, or simply because I've come to cringe at them and would like to like them again.

Honoring My Fellows (Part 4)
Welcome back for my fourth installment, everyone! Many creators are on my master list for this series, and while I’d hoped for this to be a more regular series, the time is getting away from me these days. (Please forgive me for the delay.)
