A Quick Victory Lap: “SEALAB IV” on The NoSleep Podcast
TLDR: I wrote an entry for a Vocal challenge that flopped. But I knew it was good, so rather than let that initial failure condemn the story to eternity, I said “fuck that” and start publishing it as a reprint. Then one of the largest horror podcasts in the world said, “We’ll take it.”

The Art of Revision: 7 Things to Look for Before You Hit ‘Publish’
Writing is rewriting—but not everyone knows what to look for. I used to think that once I typed the final sentence, my piece was done. I’d do a quick skim, fix the obvious typos, and send it off—confident and a little smug. But over time (and after cringing at a few too many posts I hit "publish" on way too fast), I learned that writing the first draft is just step one. The real magic? It’s in the revision.

Why I Keep Writing Even When No One’s Reading (Yet)
“Sometimes it feels like I’m writing into a void — but I keep showing up anyway.” I’ll admit it… there are days when hitting “publish” feels like shouting into the void. I stare at the screen, re-reading a piece I poured my soul into, only for it to get… three views (at most) and a polite thumbs-up from my best friend (sometimes).
