Understanding your goals to help you achieve them.
Route to Every Success
We look up to strong and successful individuals, but the ones that garner the greatest respect are the ones who started out as regular people and depended on their own wits to achieve success. These are the folks who went from rags to riches.

I Placed In My First Vocal Challenge- Here's What I Did Differently
In June, when Vocal announced the Summer Camp challenge, I knew immediately that I wanted to participate. I love food, the summer time, and I prefer the non-fiction style challenges. Maybe I have a narcissistic streak, but I really enjoy writing personal essays. When the Summer Camp challenge was released, I had been participating in Vocal challenges for a year. Up until that point, I had never won any prizes, and none of my pieces had ever been picked for a top story slot. When I submitted my Summer Camp entry, to my surprise (and delight!), my story was chosen for a top story and I placed as a runner-up. There are quite a few things I did differently with this challenge, which is why I think the judges and moderators enjoyed my entry.

My Writing Process - Brainstorming & Inspiration
Pull out a notebook, or open a new document just write. Either way we all have inspiration. Remember in Language Arts when our teachers would let us freestyle to just write but encouraged us to make a brainstorming bubble. Well this is my definition of the brainstorming bubble. For me as an author, all my life I tried to figure out what works for me.

10 Ways To Stay Awake While Studying
Experiment with treats 1. Experiment with treats: Eating healthy foods can help you stay awake while studying. However, sometimes you just need a little something to help you stay focused. If you find yourself struggling to stay awake, try eating a small snack or drinking a cup of coffee. Just be sure not to overdo it, as too much caffeine can make you feel jittery and anxious. 2. Get up and move around: Sitting in the same position for too long can make you feel sleepy. To avoid this, try getting up and moving around every 20 minutes or so. Take a walk, do some stretches, or just stand up and move around your room. This will help increase your blood flow and keep you from getting too comfortable. 3. Take breaks:This will help you avoid burnout and allow you to come back to your studies feeling refreshed. Every 20-30 minutes, take a 5-10 minute break. 4. Create a study plan: Having a plan can help you stay on track and avoid getting sidetracked by other things. Make Drink coffee There’s no denying that coffee is a great way to stay awake. The caffeine in coffee helps to stimulate the brain and keep you alert. If you’re struggling to stay awake while studying, drink a cup of coffee. Of course, there are other ways to stay awake besides drinking coffee. If you’re finding that coffee isn’t enough, try getting up and moving around for a bit. Go for a walk or do some jumping jacks. Getting your blood flowing will help to wake you up. You can also try eating a healthy snack. Foods like nuts and fruits are packed with energy and nutrients that can help keep you awake. So if you’re feeling drowsy, reach for a healthy snack instead of another cup of coffee. Find what works best for you and stick with it. With a little effort, you’ll be able to stay awake and get through your studies no problem. Color or study a different subject 1. When your brain is bored with the material, it has a harder time retaining information. By adding color to your notes or studying a different subject, you can help keep your brain engaged and improve your chances of staying awake. 2. Get up and move around every 20 minutes or so. Taking a break from sitting in one position will help increase your energy levels and allow you to stay focused on your studies. 3. Make sure you are well-rested before you start studying. If you are tired, your brain will have a harder time focusing on the material. Try to get a good night’s sleep before you start studying for a big test. Take a break to do a different activity 1. It can be helpful to take a break from studying to do a different task. This can help to wake you up and keep you from getting too sleepy. Taking a walk, getting a snack, or doing some light stretching are all good options. 2. It is also important to make sure that you are comfortable while you are studying. Make sure that you are sitting in a comfortable position and that the lighting in the room is not too bright or too dim. 3. Another helpful tip is to try and study in a place where there is some background noise. This can help to keep you from getting too sleepy. Listening to music or watching television while you study can be a good way to do this. 4. Finally, it is important to make sure that you are taking breaks regularly when you are studying. Studying for long periods of time without taking a break can make you very sleepy. Make sure to get up and move around every 20-30 minutes or so. Study in an active area like the library 1. It can be difficult to stay awake while studying, especially if you are studying in a quiet or boring place. One way to help yourself stay awake is to study in an active area like the library. There will be other people around you that can help keep you awake and focused on your studies. 2. Another way to stay awake while studying is to take breaks often. Get up and walk around or do some light exercises every 20-30 minutes. This will help increase your blood circulation and keep your mind alert. 3. It is also important to eat healthy foods and drink plenty of water while studying. Avoid sugary snacks and drinks, as they will make you feel more tired. Instead, choose healthy snacks like fruits or nuts that will give you sustained energy. 4. Finally, try to create a study plan that allows you to study for shorter periods of time but more frequently. This will help you avoid feeling overwhelmed by your studies and make it easier to stay focused and awake.

What I Don't Like About Myself
I bet you think it kind of strange to be writing crap like this. I wonder if anybody will bother reading into my self-discovery. Maybe you've had these same kind of journeys from within? But, what the heck, I'm still going to write it all down. Maybe I'll change or change the way I feel about myself? Maybe not, but I need practice with my writing skills and organizing my thoughts. I believe they call this discipline? Yes, right off the rip, I recognize that I'm not too disciplined. I get bored way too easily. I have hundreds of unfinished projects. I suppose that labels me as a starter and not a finisher? Ideas flow through my head continually, but it's unbelievably difficult for me to harness just one. For instance, including this story, I have twelve unfinished drafts.

The Redux of Inglorious Ink
Restarting my path as an author is like going back to the first level of a video game, now that I know what traps I face, what obstacles are in my way, and what puzzles I had to solve, I feel more prepared than I was before. But starting over at that level meant going back to the beginning and I was prepared to do that.
