Trying To Make My Writing Look Good
Introduction I have written about making our stories a little more pleasant to look at and therefore draw more readers in because they think "Oooh that looks interesting". They might not be tempted by the subject but I still try and captur people's attention.

A real town called Raymond. Top Story - August 2024.
Quite a few people, having read my flash fiction story, "A Town called Raymond" have asked me whether there really is a town in California called Raymond and yes, there really is. I have mentioned in some of my articles that I like to use fact to give my fictional stories an authentic feel. Whether it is historical or scientific fact, or snippets from my own knowledge, experience or life story, truth can often enhance fiction, if you know how to use it.

Living courageously
How does one live courageously? It might be showing up for your heart and soul in ways that set them on fire. It might be booking in that dance class where you know no one, to live courageously is to do things that you are uncomfortable with but do them with pride and power. When we act in a powerful way, we are telling the universe we are strong and stable and that nothing can hinder our success. We move through the world in a different kind of way when we are living courageously, opportunities open like fresh doors of change. And it’s up to us to step through them.

The Warm Embrace of Self-Acceptance
The Warm Embrace of Self-Acceptance It takes years to build your trust but it takes a moment, a simple rustle of words through the air, a singular action that dwindles the faith we have in someone. Life has always had its flair of shedding and unwavering our realities with the ones we need to embrace, of robbing us of the sturdy land of certainty and plopping us into the ocean of the unknown, stumbling us into the blatant truth of existential being, making us learning the lessons the hard way. While we may fight it or fight through it, at its dimwits we ought to accept the gospel truth, nothing stays the same. Every breath we draw, every tear that we shed, and every smile we dance with, is permanent in its impermanence, it is so immortal and yet so fleeting. Though time and tide wait for no one, the imprints of our joy and melancholy, the life that we lead through the memories that we create through experiencing our mortality for the first and the last time, become infinite savouries and scars that we hold on to, that change us and shape the way we lead ourselves and charge through the world.

Chosen by the Emerald Songstress
**Finding Chosen by the Emerald Songstress** In the heart of the ancient forest, where the trees whispered secrets older than time, there was a legend known only to those who dared to listen. The legend spoke of the Emerald Songstress, a mystical being with a voice so enchanting that it could heal wounds, bring rain to parched lands, and even call forth the sun after the darkest night. But more than her song, it was said that she held the power to choose a guardian of the forest, one who would protect the land and its creatures for generations to come.

Finding New Passions
### Finding New Passions When Sarah moved to a new city for her job, she found herself feeling more alone than ever. Her friends were miles away, her family even further, and the bustling metropolis of Chicago felt cold and overwhelming. She had always been someone who thrived on routine—work, gym, dinner, sleep, repeat. But now, the monotony of her life was suffocating.
