AI overview of The Silence of Everything. AI-Generated.
The Silence of Everything is a collection that delves into the unspoken layers of human emotion. It captures moments of solitude, whispers of longing, and the quiet reflections we often hide from the world. Each poem is a mirror—sometimes gentle, sometimes sharp—reflecting the complexities of life, love, and loss.

Is it Real?
Another alarm yanks me from my dream state into the crisp, cold air of a winter morning. Suddenly, all my senses snap to life at once. I wince at the thought of pulling back the covers, allowing the chill to caress my body, still warm from sleep. Another day. Another trip to the slave trade—where I am the slave. Shackled not by iron chains, but by failing technology, mundane co-workers, and forgetful employers steering their business like a rocking boat on a turbulent pond.

For Future Fiction Fun. Top Story - August 2025.
Anne Bernays and Pamela Painter — What if? Writing Exercises for Fiction Writers prompts — The Exercise: Buy a notebook to use for just this one exercise. Then, on a regular basis, perhaps at the beginning of your writing time, or before you go to bed, write for ten to twenty minutes addressing each of the following subjects: * List in detail all the places you have lived - one place per page. (This is a good way to begin because it gives the entire notebook a concrete grounding in time and place.) You might even want to get very specific, say by recounting all the kitchens or bedrooms. * Next, recall if you were happy or unhappy in those places. * Consider your parents' relationship, from their point of view. *List important family members: brothers and sisters, grandparents, uncles and aunts, cousins. What were the dynamics of your nuclear family, your extended family? (Some of these subjects may take several twenty-minute sessions. Leave space for unfinished business.)

A Man's Guide to Thriving
The truth about aging hits different when you're staring at your reflection one morning and wondering when your eyebrows decided to go rogue. While Troy Breiland hilariously captures the "follicular betrayal" of middle age in his recent piece about men falling apart, there's another side to this story - one where you don't just survive the changes, but actually master them.

Teacher by day, writer by heart
There is a particular moment at the end of the school day that always stays with me. When the classroom empties out and the leftover hum of energy settles into quiet, I often sit at my desk for a few minutes and breathe. That silence after the storm, that stillness, is where stories begin for me.

You are killing US with YOUR jealousy
So far I have enlightened the world with my thoughts on jealousy and self-esteem. I want to clear up any misunderstandings that may have some male people thinking that I am targeting only women here. Jealousy and self-esteem issues also can imprison men as well as women. No one is excused from real human emotions. Emotions know no face, color, size or gender. There are two victims here, not just one.
