Life
A basketball player who discovers he has a rare genetic mutation that gives him superpowers, but also attracts the attention of a sinister organization. . Content Warning.
In the heart of the championship game, the arena pulsated with the roar of the crowd. As I dribbled down the court, the seconds ticking away, I felt an electrifying surge within me. With a leap that defied gravity, I soared toward the basket, unleashing a dunk that left the spectators in awe. Little did I know, that in that moment of athletic prowess, I had set in motion a sequence of events that would change my life forever.

Ink, Sweat, and Tears: A Writer’s Tale of NaNoWriMo
Embarking on the journey of creating a novel is like setting sail on an uncharted sea, armed with nothing but a pen, paper, and one’s imagination. Well over thirteen years ago, I attempted Nanowrimo for the first time with nothing more than an idea and a used Alphasmart typewriter I purchased off of eBay. Since the book was recommended on the website, I also purchased Chris Baty’s book “No Plot, No Problem.” It’s the book that started the entire Nano craze. As we begin another November and National Novel Writing Month, I think about the steps that transformed the daunting task of novel creation into a reality.

Is Writing My Future? . Top Story - November 2023.
I write because I honestly can’t draw what I see in my head. No, but really, why do I write? Why do I waste time sitting in front of blank screens and empty pieces of paper, the pristine white taunting me, pushing me away, telling me not to come back unless I actually have a good idea?

What Makes a Slang Word Useful?
Living outside of the Philadelphia area for most of my life, I’ve seen my fair share of slang words enter and leave the fray. Some of them are amusing, some of them are useful, and some are outright pointless and forgettable. But it never really occured to me that there might actually be ways of truly assessing a slang word’s value. There are standards that linguists and philologists use to measure what a new word or phrase provides.

Is Language an Economy or a Tapestry?
For much of my time as a writer, I’ve been torn between two camps. Since middle school, my father instilled in me an appreciation for words and each of their distinct meanings. For any given idea, there are a million ways to express it. To include every possible permutation of polysyllabic phrases, proverbs and platitudes, we begin to enter into delightful verbal infinities.
