Digital Graveyard Confessions
I used to pour my morning coffee, open my laptop, and genuinely trust the words staring back at me. Now, I sip my brew with a heavy dose of suspicion. I am being haunted. Not by spirits, but by soulless algorithms masquerading as articles written by ChatGPT otherwise referred as journalists that often name me in them for ranking. I am featured rich, poor, an aggresor or a victim depending who has written it.

Why Landscape Rock Is Quietly Transforming Modern Outdoor Design
There was a time when a “beautiful yard” meant one thing: a wide stretch of perfectly trimmed green grass. It looked clean, natural, and familiar.

Once More
When I taught freshman English (composition, 101, 1101) at Augusta Tech, E. B. White’s “Once More to the Lake” was the essay I used as an example of narrative descriptive writing. I love the essay, and I enjoyed teaching it. And then my father died.

Writing a GOOD Super Mario Movie Sequel
Please note: This isn’t me trying to predict how The Super Mario Galaxy Movie will play out, but what I think are the ingredients needed for the film to have a semi-decent screenplay. This is purely for fun.

The Fourth Wall
I blame modernism and postmodernism for the plague of literary rooms that are essentially open plazas or terraces. For me, there’s a problem with assuming that the room can survive without the fourth wall. Writers like Shakespeare, Bronte, Vonnegut, and Salinger successfully break the fourth wall, which means it exists. You can’t break a wall that isn’t there.

The Room That Remembers What You Forgot
There is a place no one plans to visit. You don’t find it on a map. You don’t search for it. And yet, somehow… everyone arrives there at least once.

The Words That Outlived Their Author
He started writing for people who did not exist. Not exactly. They existed somewhere, of course—scattered across cities, countries, and time zones—but to him, they were invisible. Numbers on a screen. Views. Clicks. A silent audience that never truly spoke.

Which Religious Belief Forbade Yoga?
As a Caregiver, for years, as I age, I began to experience lower back pain. I don’t like pain, nor do I like taking pain medication. #Iintend2Survive, so I must find a way to help myself and live.

Readers are Leaders
I used to think reading was just a hobby—a quiet escape from the chaos of life. But one rainy afternoon, curled up with a book I barely understood, I realized something that shook me: readers aren’t just dreamers. We’re leaders.

The Secret of the First Sentence
Every writer knows the quiet tension that exists before the first sentence appears on the page. It is a strange moment, one that often passes unnoticed by the rest of the world. From the outside, it looks simple: a person sitting in front of a screen, hands resting on a keyboard, doing absolutely nothing.

The Hidden Problem With AI Writing Tools Nobody Talks About
The first time I realized something was wrong, I was staring at a blank Google Doc, and for the first time in years, I had no voice in my head.

The Benefits of Writing Porn. Content Warning.
I’m here today to talk about how writing porn (erotica, romance, whatever you call writing that readers derive sexual pleasure from) enhances and improves other writing. It does this in multiple ways, if you have the ovaries or cajones to really go for it. I can hear the Pollyannas clutching their pearls from here, see the shocked, judgmental looks aimed like lasers at me for daring to put romance as a parenthetical of porn (which is where it belongs).
