The Mark Inside
"Hustlers of the world, there is one Mark you cannot beat. The Mark Inside." William S. Burroughs, Naked Lunch (1959). Being that today is the 109 birthday of author, drug addict, and probable murderer William Seward Burroughs, who wrote the infamous homoerotic, avant-garde nightmare of a "novel" NAKED LUNCH (1959), I thought it would be meet and proper to say a few words about it. Quite unfortunately though I found...I haven't a veritable "word horde" inside myself to convey upon this singular tome. (Which, by the way, I've read three times in my life.)

The use of money has evolved over time, but its purpose remains the same - to facilitate transactions and enable economic growth.

The Books I Read in January
I read six books last month, and they couldn’t be anymore different from each other. Through doing my one book a week challenge, I have learned that I either like reading short books within a day. With longer books I like to take my time. A lot of people struggle to read just one book a year nowadays. For someone, like me that reads a lot, I find it hard to fathom how people get by without reading books. I sometimes think it’s because school forces you to read books, but they don’t teach you the joy of reading. Some people may connect better with short stories, flash fiction, poetry or fan fiction instead.

India and its Jail - Bluepicks
A jail is a facility where people are detained and held as prisoners, usually as a result of being accused or convicted of a crime. Jails are typically run by local or state law enforcement agencies and are used to hold individuals who are awaiting trial or have been sentenced to serve a short term sentence, usually less than one year. The conditions in a jail can vary, but all are meant to provide a secure and controlled environment for those who are being held.

6 Tricks to Writing Suspenseful Fiction
What is Suspenseful Fiction Have you ever seen a movie where the stakes are high and the ending is full of uncertainty that your heart is pounding, you’re leaning towards the screen, and you’re not even blinking in fear that you’ll miss it? It’s that same feeling but brought to you by a book. Instead of a screen, your reader is drastically flipping through pages, eyes darting from one side to another devouring the words as the tension climbs higher and the amount of pages till the end grows shorter.
