So You Think You Want to Write Humor and Satire?
Author's prepreface: I published this on Vocal two years ago, and on Medium before that, but thought I would resurrect it yet again with just a few changes for Vocal's new Writing community. Hopefully it will get at least a few more views there then it has anywhere else. I happen to think it is quite funny.

Lessons from Venus - what can be learned?
Venus, the planet of beauty, worth and adoration, is currently in the transformational part of her Rx journey. At the start of last week, she was situated between the earth and the sun, making her invisible to the naked eye – she was the “evening star”, hidden in the night sky.

The search for the missing pieces of the universe
It always was about writing. The way my fingers moved on my keyboard, the sound, the creation of a new blog, a new writing. All coming from me. At first it felt like meditation and an hour later I finished a nice article for the internet. Now it’s so much more with so many possibilities. The last ten years I was so busy exploring myself with the new trends like YouTube, Instagram and TikTok and having those kinds of media is important for your business, but my main business is still writing. I’m happy I know, but still I guess I am finding a way to go back in time. Not to escape today, but to reflect on my choices and how I perceived the world.

The Reason I Will Never Make any Money Writing
Author's preface: Hopefully now fully approved. lol! If you are anything like me (trust me, you are not), then you suck at writing. That said, just because you suck at something doesn’t mean you can’t make shit tons of cash by doing it. Look at this very website (Vocal.media). There are a few truly great writers who regularly contribute, some pretty darn good ones, a few more OK ones, a shit ton of average or below average ones, and the remaining who probably make up just over 51% of the writing population here, the terrible, horrible, downright craptastic ones. Oh, and then there’s me. I will leave it to the reader to decide where I fit in on that sliding scale of trainwreckage, but that is really beside the point. The point is that there are a boatload of writers in that 51% who are making gobs and gobs of cash by writing. Yep, you read that correctly, you don’t have to be one of the greats, or average, or any good at all, to fulfill your dreams of endless bags of cocaine and supermodel blowjobs by the gross, through writing. Female dreams and your own dreams may differ slightly from mine of course. And, no, btw, that is not my dream in case you were wondering. I was just trying to be funny, and failing terribly, as is my typical style, and a pretty good example of just how bad I suck at writing.

I Promise
Season 1 Episode 1 - VALENTINE'S DAY (Scene 1) [FLASHBACK - Opening Scene] Jackson and I met our Freshman Year in high school, in history class. He was so sweet and handsome. I, on the other hand, was the normal go unseen girl in school. Although it was a weird match, we just sort of grew on one another. Our relationship lasted through breakups, makeups, cheating, lying, and beatings. When we got in college it's like I was just a familiar face that he knew he could always go back to if needed. Now that I think about it, I was just in love with a man that I knew didn't love me in that same measure. Although, kept me because he didn't want to see what I would look like with another man.

The First Stories
I remember, somewhere between childhood and awkward teenage years, I went from being an avid reader to an avid writer. I thank my high school friends for this transition. They introduced me to anime, manga, and fanfiction. Fanfiction.net was approximately where I started attempting to write coherent stories under the penname Amery Aquaisha. I know, what an alias, right?

Can We Stop Writing Stories with Titles That Are Questions Now Please?. Top Story - August 2023.
Author's preface: Another story that was mysteriously not approved for publication the first time around. Somehow my account got flagged as AI or spam. Flattered but obviously not true. I am a real person I can assure you of that. Also, there is no such thing as AI, but that is a topic for a different article. LOL!
