The Desert
The desert stretched out before me, an endless sea of golden sand dunes that seemed to ripple and sway with a life of their own. The sun beat down mercilessly, casting long, distorted shadows across the arid landscape. It was a harsh and unforgiving terrain, but it held a certain allure, a mystery that called out to me.

True Redemption
I remember my father the way he was before what he is now. We used to go on walks and rides throughout the country. We used to bike and see the world. My father was loving, hardworking and honest. My father was caring, good nature and decent. He used to tell me wise stories about life and read to me about what a real man is. He used to have hope for me. Things aren't what they used to be. I'm Kc and my father is President Billy Cleveland. My father was a minister turned politician. He loved people and leading them to the right way. He loved church but he had an urge for justice. He wanted things to get better. Sometimes I think the injustice turned into an ambition because he was determined. But I missed the father who showed his love in practical ways and now that he became President of the United States, things have for certain changed. My mother noticed. Her name was Glo Cleveland. She went from first lady of a church all the way up to First Lady of the United States. My mother for certain noticed the changes in my father but she just dismissed it as job stress. We used to gather at a peaceful dinner but now its just my mother and I.

What Is Senryu?. Top Story - November 2023.
In the spirit of the āSnafu Senryuā challenge, I did a little digging into the art of Japanese poetry to understand a bit of the history of Senryu, in hopes that it would inspire a few gems (spoiler alertāit did!) Senryu is a form of Japanese poetry that shares a common structure with traditional haiku but serves a different purpose. Like haiku, senryu consists of three lines with a syllable pattern of 5-7-5. Unlike haiku, however, the form is more focused on human nature, rather than the natural world. Senryu often delves into the humorous, satirical, or ironic aspects of daily life and the human experience.

Crunching the Numbers: How Much Can You Really Earn as a Ghostwriter?
The reason most ghostwriters struggle with earnings is because they're not clear about their market value. This happens because many dive into the field without doing proper research. They end up accepting low-paying gigs that barely cover the bills, thinking that's the industry standard. This leaves them stuck in a financial rut, making it difficult to turn ghostwriting into a sustainable career.
