How I Accidentally Became a Poet . Top Story - September 2025.
I have always been a storyteller. I won’t bother you with all of the anecdotes, just one: I am eight, and I don’t know how to pen the complex words for my tale about a lost girl and her pirates. During class, my daydreams are occupied with memorizing the next scene. After school, I wait, not so patiently, for my mother to come home. Then, like an orator in a great hall, I stand beside her bed and recite the fictional unfoldings. She scribes them with a swift and loyal hand. Together, we revel in the newest imaginings, manifested, and she teaches me how to read cursive. It is like this for a year, maybe less, at least until I can string together a complete sentence and have become familiar with our second-hand thesaurus.

The Gazebo By The Lakes
I watched you, watch me from a distance. I watched your eyes track my every movement from across a room full of humans that could never feel all that we felt. A cosmic connection, two celestial bodies colliding. Our beginning was inked in blue flame and coated in stardust. As I skimmed our cursed ending, it spelled the fate of a sun.

Why Writers Fall in Love With Their Characters
“They’re fictional. I know. And yet — I’d die for them.” Writers get it. Or maybe we don’t, and that’s why we’re so emotionally attached to people who exist solely in our heads. I’ve cried over my characters. I’ve argued with them, obsessed over them, rooted for them like they were my own chaotic children. And yes — I’ve had full-on crushes on them.

Magical Creatures Without the Clichés
“If I see one more sassy talking cat or a dragon with daddy issues, I might scream.” Let’s be honest: magical creatures are part of what makes fantasy sparkle. They lift us out of the ordinary and into the wondrous. But all too often, they also fall into painfully predictable tropes. You know the ones. The wise old centaur. The rebellious fae prince. The brooding werewolf with a soft side. Yawn.

How to Write Descriptions That Don’t Bore Readers
“Don’t just describe the room — make me feel like I’ve stepped inside it.” We’ve all read that one book (or three) where the descriptions feel like someone hit pause on the story to give you a furniture catalogue. And look — I get it. Description is hard. You want to paint a vivid picture, but not drown your reader in a sea of adjectives. So, how do you write description that actually enhances the story, rather than dragging it down?
