Process

The Journalism Standard I Still Trust:
I still remember being taught that words were supposed to do a job. Not decorate. Not posture. Not smuggle opinion into the room dressed as fact.

The Comforting Scent of the Past
Many of us tend to rely on past experience to guide our creative work, but how do you access those precious memories in crystal clear detail? The buried wealth of nostalgic magic that’s waiting to be sparked? At least when you aren’t being held hostage to trauma.

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.
