Ten Questions with René Peters
I finally decided to give the Ten Questions self-interview a chance. What type of writer do you feel you are? I feel like a writer who has a lot of room for improvement. I'm a writer that is terrible at their one real hobby. My main form of writing is poetry since it is easiest to vent about emotions through poems. I'm trying hard to get better at coming up with ideas for fictional stories since I only have two of those.

GOING BACK IN
PROFESSIONALISM RUINED, I HAD TO DO SOMETHING. I was GOING BACK IN. I love an income... an income that produces a MEANS FOR LIVING what I call life. Retirement is the most boring session in life so far. In it I am advised to try a number of things that include traveling to desired destinations... many of which I have never had the desire. Work life was cut short after accomplishing the basics for becoming a fledgling land developer or working an integral role within a land development corporation. I accomplished the basics for being that woman on a land surveying team and in their civil engineering corporation. I could work for any one of the many major corporations in their real estate department. I could continue working in the "cushy community" where I was initially hired to work as a simple licensed real estate agent after passing course studies and professional exams. In any path persued, I could finally earn a living to carry myself and my family... my son and daughter by my own honest effort from an honest wage earned. Beautiful.

Workshops are Treasure Troves
Why should we have confidence in our writing? This is a question that has many answers. Because you’re a good writer, because you’re writing about important topics, because people love your work, because you care… We’re missing something important if we start here, though. The bigger question is, how do we GET confident?

A Time for Reflection #2
As many start to count down the final hours to the start of the new year, I can't help but become nostalgic of the past 12 months. And not just at my writing, although it will be what takes up most of this essay. I think back to my accomplishments and failures, my mental highs and lows, my defining moments.

Opening the Door to 2024
Can you feel it? Can you hear it knocking? A new year is testing the latch and looking for gaps in the weatherstripping. In a few hours' time, we'll open that door and let it in, each at our own specific time and in our own way. Well, those of us who live on Earth, use the Gregorian calendar, and consider the beginning of the year to be January 1.

My Vocal Story Gone Without a Trace
Writing, in any form, is deeply personal. Each word is a fragment of oneself. My journey with writing has been lifelong, evolving from journaling a daily decades-old routine to authoring a book on life lessons I learned from raising dogs and children. I've also enjoyed penning over 300 book reviews and multiple articles about life.

FujiFilm's Camera's
Quicker. Superior. More robust. That’s the Fujifilm X-S20, the solitary X Series camera introduced by the company in 2023. Although some photographers may have anticipated a successor to the X100V, only to be disappointed (for now), the X-S20, unveiled in May, remains an exceptional X Series camera.
