I thin I may know her name, though she is probably a friend of a friend although her Vocal profile is fairly detailed (though not as detailed as mine which has all my social media IDs there)

What Jane Austen Teaches Us About Writing
It may be an exaggeration to say that I am the writer I am today because of Jane Austen. I first fell in love with her writing in high school. I had never been assigned to read any of her work but after finding it in the library I decided to give it a read.

Overcooked slice of bread
When I was young, I recall a night when my mom arrived home tired after a long day at work. During dinner, she served some slices of bread that were as black as coal. Meanwhile, my dad simply enjoyed his cake and asked me about school, as he did every day. Although I can't recall my response, I do remember overhearing my mom apologize to him for burning the bread. To my surprise, my dad reassured her by saying, "Honey, I like burnt bread." Later that evening, I approached my father to inquire if he genuinely enjoyed burnt bread. He responded, "Your mother worked hard all day and was exhausted. A burnt slice of bread won't harm anyone, but you know what can harm someone? Severe criticisms and reproaches." He added, "Life is filled with imperfections, including imperfect people like Dad, who falls short in many ways, such as forgetting birthdays and anniversaries." Through the years, I've learned to embrace the flaws of others and choose to appreciate their uniqueness.

The Tree of Life
Once upon a time, in the quiet town of Melody Hollow, there existed a mysterious old music shop named Harmonium Haven. Its faded sign swung gently in the breeze, and the window displayed an assortment of antique instruments, each with a story etched into its worn wood.

How I overcome writer's block
Writer's block. You know, those moments when you just don't feel like writing, when the motivation is dwindling, and you feel creatively drained? Yeah, we've all been there. And guess what? It doesn't mean you're a horrible writer. In fact, it's quite the opposite. Every writer I know has faced these challenges at some point in their journey.
