Paranoid Writer Fears Witch Hunt!. Content Warning.
So I reached out to D.K. Shepard after reading their now Top Story, Help Wanted. I won’t lie—I was a little uneasy after reading it. Not because I didn’t get the intent (I did), but because something about it felt… off. (To me at least.)

The Rebellious Spirit of a Brown Girl: Growing Up Against the Odds
I belong to India where a lot of expectations are placed on brown girls. It entails carrying the burden of the "good girl" stereotype all the time. Society expects me to prioritize other people's viewpoints over my own, frequently at the expense of my goals and ambitions. It is rebellion to defend myself. Even if it costs me to respect people who are trying to destroy my life, I must keep quiet and listen. A girl already had so much pressure the day she was born. But what about the boys? Brown girls are always instructed to sit properly, not laugh loudly, not talk to boys and always be docile and soft. Why is a girl's gender the requirement to clean the house or be in the kitchen?

November 2021 Standing in the cold, I was bundled with my hat, mittens, long coat, stealing heat from my husband. I peeked at my phone while we waited for the winter light show. The notification announced my monthly bonus from Kindle Vella.

WRITING MY FIRST BOOK: THE ADVANTAGES
A few years ago, during some dull days, I took the opportunity to write a book. It was my first one, and it took about eight months to complete. As many authors say, writing is a true journey: your life goes through ups and downs, just like the characters you create, and your mind travels to unknown places, finding new things and knowing more about yourself. Naturally, I wouldn’t have ventured into this activity if I did not see advantages in doing so, and as I wrote, I discovered many others. It is true that there are disadvantages, but I prefer not to focus on them right now. I would rather ignore them and inspire you to write. Therefore, here are some reasons why you should write a book:
