Writing all wrong?
You've called it quits with the story or poem or song lyrics or what have you; you've chosen your community, and decided into which realms your piece belongs. You give it a final read then, tentatively, your tummy likely in knots, you hit PUBLISH.

Unmasking Deception: The Secret Language of Lies
Ever caught someone casually drop a line like, "Sorry, my phone died," or insist, "I'm fine," when deep down you sense otherwise? Think about the classic denials—"These allegations are completely unfounded," "The company was not aware of any wrongdoing," or even the heart-melting, "I love you." Every day, we’re bombarded with between 10 and 200 little fibs, half-truths, and outright lies. And for centuries, humans have been on a quest to catch these falsehoods—ranging from medieval torture devices to modern polygraphs, blood-pressure monitors, voice-stress analyzers, eye trackers, and even gargantuan 400-pound electroencephalograms.

Sarah Cooper Returns!
She's back, folks! It has been at least one month since that individual in that nation to the south took the oath of office and much of the respect and honour earned by other presidents over many years. It has not been the most pleasant time of the year to consider all those jobs lost, the arrests made, the idiotic comments made, and the future plans that will disrupt trade, business, and make life much harder for those of us who thought we could surf above the nonsense we knew was coming our way.
