What does a year as a writer look like?
As a creator time seems more like a construct than to the average person. We string together different time periods, different limits of realities, like it’s a common thing among our busy schedules. How could it feel like a 200th entry, when we’ve written thousands in our head?

The Beauty of Gratitude in a world full of Cynicism
The beauty of gratitude in a world full of cynicism Ever acquainted with the phrase that the world that you exist in, the life that you embody dwells in the perception of the stance you hold for yourself. The beauty and the tragedy of life is that it is as beautiful as the optimistic lens of perception and as ugly as the pessimistic view of your being. The strive of our endeavours and the constant effort to achieve the next massive milestone often drive us to the edges of insanity, to be in the consistent light of greatness we lose sight of the great strings of joy that bind our existence together. To be the best we have ever been we must be mindful of the best we are. Coinciding in the traps of negativity and yet claiming to be the best version of yourself is a blinding truth that lies to only you. Acceptance of what was and what is the only path that will lead you to what it is that you are meant to be.

The Stupidly Simple Piece Of Writing Advice That Changed My Life
For some writing feels like one of those things that's only achievable on the first Tuesday of the month, when all the stars have aligned, the home team wins the games and the ducks learn how to do our taxes.

Overstimulation In Social Situations
I am still learning about communication after being unheard for so long I learned I have no social quos, and a lot is awkward for me. No that's an understatement I don't have a social life. I did have someone a thought to call a friend, however, we aren't friends anymore. Her name was Kyndall Lewis, I thought we had somewhat something in common. I was wrong to have said this. You know when a "friend", wants advise. They want the truth, however, the thing is they don't want the truth they want a lie. I said the wrong thing to her I told her the truth.

Combs & Underland Down The Rabbit Hole With...
Welcome to the Library AKA, 'The Warren!' "We're all mad here." The idea for, 'Down the Rabbit Hole with...' was born when the realisation hit that, as well as their love of penning, both Mother Combs and Celia in Underland are inherently curious (and curiouser) about other writer's, their thought processes and inspiration as well as who they are behind the keybard, of if they're more retro cool, the pen.We weren't sure if anyone would want to be,

My Usual: The Snow Micro Challenge
First up: My Musings My main hope, as always, is that the entries that place hit the brief. Microfiction is hard. I'm doing it every day, and I still think that several of those efforts probably don't hold up to a strict definition of microfiction. I think they do (of course, that's why I posted them), but I am biased aren't I? I'm too close. I'm probably wrong at least some of the time. I might be wrong about some of my challenge entries as well.

Do I HAVE To Have a Niche?
I knew growing up, I wanted to be a writer. What I did not know was that there were many universes revolved around writing and they were all different. There are so many niches and topics and types of writing that it can be confusing, overwhelming, and downright discouraging.
