Inspiration
The Sky Dreamers: . AI-Generated.
In a small house on Hawthorn Street in Dayton, Ohio, two brothers sat by the flickering light of an oil lamp, their minds soaring through ideas far beyond the reach of their modest surroundings. Wilbur and Orville Wright, sons of Milton and Susan Wright, had grown up with a love for mechanics, a passion for invention, and an unyielding curiosity about the mysteries of the world.

Why I Keep Writing On Vocal
Introduction I often write about why I still write, and I loved the Ray Bradbury meme. Writers write, artists paint, sculptors sculpt, musicians create songs, but there are times when I think that I have reached the end.

The enigmatic bird
Rubel was an ordinary boy from a small village. He was playful, curious, and awestruck when he was in sixth grade. However, Rubel possessed a unique kind of curiosity, in contrast to the majority of children. He didn’t just ask questions—he needed to find answers. He loved stories, but not just to hear them—he wanted to live them.

Running Man Press
It was a dark and rainy day... Okay, apologies over the whole 'It was a dark and stormy night' cliché, but I discovered over the Victoria Day weekend that one of my stories became front page news in a journal called the Running Man Press. The interesting thing is that I had almost forgotten that I had written and submitted the piece (the editor who said that he would inform me of the date of publication never contacted me about the issue). I have also discovered that it is not available online (the page I found advertised how to submit, the fact that they only print 5000 copies per issues - a smart idea, I think - and that they have many wonderful t-shirts and other doodads available to support their cause).

Staying Inspired
Okay, here’s the thing with me: I have an unspoken time limit for everything I do. It’s silent, it’s sneaky, and it’s always there. No one knows what the time limit is, including me, but like the timer in Scattergories, that limit will be met, and it will be impossible to continue when it is met. This applies to every single thing I do in my life, including writing a story. What this means for me is that I have to either knock out stories fast, or not at all. I do have methods to improve my ability to do this, but that’s not what I’m here to talk about today. Today, I’d like to tell you what other people have to say on the matter.
