Eco-Friendly Cutting: How Chainsaw Technology Is Evolving to Protect Forests. AI-Generated.
Chainsaws have come a long way since their earliest—and surprisingly unusual—origins. Early versions were heavy, noisy, and designed purely for brute force. Over time, however, the evolution of chainsaw technology has reflected a growing global concern: how do we balance human needs with the health of the forests that sustain us? Understanding where the chainsaw began helps highlight how dramatically it has changed. Sources like the History of Chainsaw Development provide a useful look at the tool’s early years, showcasing just how primitive and environmentally harsh those early designs were: https://www.zmescience.com/feature-post/history-of-chainsaw-development-feature/

Why I Stopped Trying to be Productive at 6AM
I used to pressure myself, nonstop, to wake up at 6 AM because every "successful" person online said that's what grown adults do. According to the adults online, if you weren't up before sunrise, writing in your journal, and drinking a green smoothie, your life was basically a failure waiting to happen. I believed what the adults online said. I became miserable, not understanding why waking up early didn't transform me into a hyper glowing version of myself.

2025: The Final Countdown
Go ahead. Hum that song if you want to. Greetings, Vocal readers. 2026 will be here before you know it. For now, we're eager to finish 2025 on a high note. It has been a long year, especially for me as a writer on Vocal. Us writers have been busy writing and publishing our stories to reach our audiences. As I approach 400 stories on Vocal, I look back and am proud of how far I've come since joining this platform in 2018. The bigger question is this: Will I be able to reach the special milestone of 500 stories written and published around this time next year? It's a huge longshot, but it's not impossible either. In the almost eight years that I've been a writer on Vocal, I have yet to win a challenge. However, these writing challenges motivate me to use them as an incentive to strive even harder. That's one of the goals that I'm trying to pursue in 2026. I've received a few honors in the past, which is always very appreciative.

This Was My Best Fucking Piece (And It Still Lost)
There’s a particular kind of heartbreak that only writers know— the moment you hit “submit,” whisper a shaky prayer to the literary gods, and then, days or weeks later, open an email that starts with the word “Unfortunately.”

The Rebellious Heart of the Americas: A Diary of the Event in Rome, November 28, 2025
This Friday marked the conclusion of one of the most significant events I have had the privilege to participate in. The LeggereNienteMale Festival offered the perfect opportunity to present my book The Legacy of Simón Bolívar: The Rebellious Heart of Latin America, and I felt the weight of history as we gathered with diplomats, intellectuals, and activists to discuss the future of the Patria Grande and the new geopolitical challenges threatening the sovereignty of Latin American peoples. The event took place at the Centro E. Nathan in Rome, a venue that became the beating heart of a gathering that challenged both our past and, most importantly, the future of our continent and its struggles.

I Googled My Pen Name And Book Title
It was a Google driven by utter frustration. Why was I frustrated- and how did that lead to a Google of myself? My audiobook. It passed Quality control. It was approved on https://voices.inaudio.com. It has been distributed to 31 platforms. I had announced my release date as December 17th. I wanted to put it on pre-order. Completely forgot it can take up to 30 days or more before your stuff is actually published on these platforms.

Imran Khan: The Man Who Refused to Bow
The story opens with a 70-year-old man sitting behind the walls of a prison. His name is Imran Khan. His “crime,” in the eyes of his opponents, is that he gave the youth of Pakistan a voice and a sense of purpose. Many had already written his political obituary, but those who knew him understood he was not someone who gave up easily. He was offered two choices: apologise and walk free, or stay behind bars. He chose to stand firm against the people he believed had looted his country.

The Silent Audience: What Writers Don’t Talk About Enough
Let’s be honest—most of us write for people who never tell us if they read a single line. You go for hours to days trying to perfect your little piece of poetry, but when the time comes for you to release it to the world and hit "publish," you're enveloped in silence—the kind that's loud enough to deafen (literally). That part hurts. If I could search for more pain-filled words, I'd have done so and filled a whole paragraph with them. And honestly, that's something so discouraging that it makes you want to go back into your shell and stay there forever.
