The Breakfast Writing Club
Imagine this: You’re standing under the glow of a dim stage light, palms sweaty, heart racing. The mic lets out a sharp feedback screech, and you flinch. You clear your throat, gripping your paper so tightly it crinkles in your shaking hands. The room is hushed, waiting. You take a breath.

The Call of Darkness
With a deep breath, Ravi turned the knob, and the door opened with a soft groan. The moment he stepped inside, the temperature dropped noticeably. It felt like stepping into another world—one that was cold, forgotten, and untouched by time. The darkness inside the house seemed to swallow him whole, leaving him with only the dim light of his lantern to guide his way.

Some More Observations On My Vocal Writing
Introduction I know that I often write these diaristic pieces and I am writing this as a last Vocal story before I take a weekend off to spend a couple of days in Whitby. If you know me on Facebook, Instagram or Threads you will still see the pictures I post before I rejoin Vocal properly on Monday but this is what I have been dealing with this week.

Perfectionism and Procrastination: A Deadly Duo for Motivation

February: One Goal Accomplished. Top Story - February 2025.
Early February: I've completed the first of my 2025 goals! Ooh it feels good. I put together a list of writing goals for the year of 2025. Admittedly, I assume there will wind up being more that pop up throughout the year, but I wanted to put down some things that were most important to me, and then try to get through as many of those as I could. It was 16 different goals I jotted down, and I assumed I wouldn't get through them all. But I wanted to try to get through as many as I could. Give myself constant goals on the horizon to strive for.

Clear and simple solutions to everyday tech problems
Why do we love the bootable USB drive so much? History, man. There was a time-geologically speaking, a very short time-in which the primary method of installing a new operating system was with an optical disk of some sort. I remember the first time I ever upgraded an operating system was when we upgraded our Windows 3.1 PC to Windows 95. I think we even had MS-DOS on floppy disks, come to think of it. Things are different now. Semiconductor technology has made it possible to cheaply produce, in a smaller package and with higher data fidelity. It’s called electronically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM). We just call it flash memory. You stick one of these chips on a printed circuit board with a memory manager and a USB adapter and some software and you’ve suddenly got the world’s most ubiquitous transportable file storage. You may very well have one close at hand.

Dark Horse
Dark Horse Genre: Psychological Thriller/Drama Short Story: In the small, fog-drenched town of Black Hollow, everyone knew the legend of the "Dark Horse." It was said that once every decade, a mysterious black stallion would appear at the edge of the Whispering Woods, its eyes glowing like embers.
