Inspiration
Lost in the Shadows. Content Warning.
In a bustling city where skyscrapers loomed overhead like sentinels of progress, there lived a young woman named Maya.

PART 1 - PART 2 Most writers are avid readers. That’s probably stating the obvious. Not every reader is, or wants to be, a writer, but being an avid reader certainly establishes a foundation for anyone who wants to pursue the craft. Someone with a deep and well-rounded appreciation of the written word will often develop an instinct for what works.

My Expectations As a Writer Of My Readers And Myself. Top Story - March 2024.
Mackenzie Davis issued a challenge in one of her more recent articles: Writing is NOT a Safe Space. I think this is an amazing idea - because let's be real, I am not writing for fun. I mean, I am writing for fun, but I also want to be a good writer. I want to be a writer with content worth reading. I want people on my writing platforms who read my work to say: "Oh man, she published a book? I have GOT to read it!"

Behind the Page
Lately, I have struggled a bit with channeling my creativity into new stories and poems. There is an element of writer’s block, but there is also a lack of focus and motivation involved. Ironically, in my opinion, those with an artistic bent tend to have a lot going on in their brain. Currently, translating that jumbled mess in my mindspace (yes, I made up that word) into a story, whether that be prose or poetry, has been a challenge.
