Process
Behind the Page
Lately, I have struggled a bit with channeling my creativity into new stories and poems. There is an element of writer’s block, but there is also a lack of focus and motivation involved. Ironically, in my opinion, those with an artistic bent tend to have a lot going on in their brain. Currently, translating that jumbled mess in my mindspace (yes, I made up that word) into a story, whether that be prose or poetry, has been a challenge.

Exam Season Survival: Top Tips for Nurturing Your Mental Wellbeing
Exam Season Survival: Top Tips for Nurturing Your Mental Wellbeing Hard work is the sole key to achieving any goal and dreams that you hold in life. Being true to yourself and placing your utmost efforts in whatever you do, will lead you to the desirable outcome that every person yearns for in their lifetime. To be or not to be the conventional goal achiever, society puts a lot of pressure on children and young adults to academic excellence and achieve good marks in every exam the student undertakes. While it is important to give your 100%, sacrificing your mental health in the process ultimately results in complete burnout and renders you unable to function healthily and productively.

Why We Write
I write for a variety of reasons, and I am sure that other Vocal Creators do as well. I am not sure whether my primary aim is to create something where there was once nothing or to connect with others through my creation. I certainly love connecting with others and love it when they are complimentary about my creations.

Love Me, or Leave Me Alone
I stepped onto the train, just in time to hear the loudspeaker announce, "The doors will be closing now!" A sigh of relief escaped my lips; mingled with the attempts to catch my breath. Another rush hour morning, and as usual, there was barely standing room, much less any empty seats. As I elbowed my way to grasp a hold of the pole, my stomach decided to advocate for the other passengers I had showed no mercy for. A few weeks ago, I thought I needed to start eating breakfast more regularly; a few weeks from now, I don't think getting a seat on the train will be quite as difficult.

My Science Fiction Imagined as a TV Series
I am working on a serialized science fiction suspense story that I’ve been publishing over on Kindle Vella. In short, Vella is a platform for readers and writers of serialized fiction and non fiction. The first 3 episodes are always free and after that an episode costs tokens. The minimum is 600 words which cost 6 tokens. 700 costs 7, and 1,000 costs 10 and so forth.

All I Know Is I Know Nothing
I've never been one to desire love for myself. In fact, more often than not, I've rejected love more than I have embraced it fully with open arms and compelete trust. Some might accuse this attachment style as avoidant, and those people just might be the ones to read me with utmost clarity. It is with regret that I learn this too late in life.

Let's Forget
The scene opens with a creator, the Originator, sitting at a desk. The following is the dialogue that occurs between the Originator (O) and the Machine (M). The Originator is a young man. On the desk is a laptop, in front of which he is sat, his fingers hovering over the keys ready to type, the microphone on so that they can converse.

How to Write With Chronic Illness. Top Story - March 2024.
Do you ever open up Vocal and see a ton of notifications from other creators who are pumping out stories weekly, daily, hourly, and wonder why you are incapable of being as fruitful with your work? Today I'm here to tell you that you're not 'lazy' or any less of a writer than they are, because more than likely you looked at the title of this article and said: "Yes, I have a chronic illness and I am a writer, but how do I maintain both without ruining the other?"

Apollo 11 A Monster Jump for Humankind
In the records of mankind's set of experiences, barely any occasions have caught the aggregate creative mind and represented the unlimited capability of human accomplishment like the Apollo 11 mission. Sent off by NASA on July 16, 1969, the Apollo 11 mission was not only a logical undertaking; it was a demonstration of human assurance, development, and the unflinching soul of investigation.

The technological Devil
I've been a traditionally published author for 25 years now, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride. I've seen the whole landscape of writing change, and I’ve picked up more than a few tricks along the way. Not that I love saying it, but yeah, I’ve been around long enough to know a thing or two.
