Harper Lewis. Content Warning.
I get a feeling that some of y’all are wondering, “Who is this Harper Lewis, and where did she come from?” I’m new here, so new that I have no idea who the “same old names” are. I know that I’m new and some of my pieces have been noticed. I’m very appreciative of that, and sometimes I post with genuine hope and confidence that I nailed it, that what I tried to convey resonated, that my weirdness doesn’t alienate me.

Holiday Packages. Top Story - December 2025.
Holidays, both large and small, bring their own kind of baggage-boxes with them. I didn't realize before this week how a holiday, be it religious, national, or personal; they seem to stir my heart to write.

Is There Anyone You Hate?
Anne Bernays and Pamela Painter — What If? Writing Exercise for Fiction Writers prompts The Exercise — Week one - write a scene that brings to fictional life someone you hate. Make the reader hate her. It might be someone who annoys you-- someone whose manner you can't stand, whose voice grates on you. Or it might be someone who has offended you or done you some harm, or someone to whom you have done some harm - there are many reasons to hate people. If you have the courage, take on someone who is evil on the grand scale. It can be someone you know, someone you know about, or best of all, invent a real nasty. The Objective: Story and only story is the peaceable kingdom where you and I and the next fellow can lie down on the same page with one another, not by wiping our differences out, but by creating our differences on the page. Only on the page of a story can I look out of your and my and the other fellow's eyes all at the same time.

The Psychology of Website Navigation: How Users Interpret Menus, Labels, and Structure
Understanding How Users Think When They Explore a Website Website navigation is far more than a design feature — it is a psychological experience. When users land on a site, they rely on cognitive patterns, prior knowledge, and visual cues to decide what to click next. Whether a website feels intuitive or confusing depends on how well the navigation aligns with the way people naturally process information.

How Websites Handle Data Using Server-Side Logic and Databases
Modern websites do much more than display static pages. They process user inputs, store information, fetch records, and generate dynamic content in real time. Whether it’s a login form, an online store, or a content management system, all of this is possible because of server-side logic working closely with databases.

Untitled . Top Story - December 2025.
I pat my brows with a handkerchief I fancy, and I think about the plight we are in today; it makes me squirm. In all my words you seek to find a formula, but your ledgers are filled with trending tabs (ephemeral tallies). You make me feel like I should be held in a box. It is impossible for someone to grow or be better than they were yesterday; simply by choice, they wish to step back and publish a little slower, less frequently.

Mobile App Security Basics Every Product Team Should Know
The morning it clicked for me was unremarkable. I was early, the office still quiet, lights half on, coffee cooling faster than I liked. I opened a dashboard I had checked a hundred times before, not looking for anything in particular, just following a habit I’d picked up over the years.

Forever And Always
She was created by choice. That was what the Elders said, and the people believed it. Creation was not accidental, it was intentional, sacred. She was selected, shaped, and welcomed with ceremony. When she first opened her eyes, voices surrounded her. Warm, affirming, certain. They gave her a name that meant belonging, and with it an identity she would never question. Names were gifts. Names were anchors.

Kwitcherbitchin. Content Warning.
I’m of Northern European and Native American roots, pretty sure the Germanic folk hailed from the small hamlet of Kwitcherbitchin, eventually breeding with travelers from Fixyerfuckingrammar and Punctuateyergoddamnsentences, on the other side of the mountains, leaving those lands after some time to marry in with inhabitants of Bespecific and Showdonttell. Eventually, their descendants got on a ship, and there were some illicit relations with Concretelanguage, resulting in the bastard births of Strongverbs, Subversion, and Sensorydetail before making landfall on Literaryallusion at the mouth of the River of Alliteration and settling in Citeyoursources, on the banks of Lake Threedimensionalcharacters, in the shadow of Realisticdialogue Mountain. I am all of my ancestors and carry the maps of their native lands in my blood.
