As a young boy, I blundered with a different set of emotions… they were stringent for me to clarify. Something apprised me that I stood unique in this world, but something also made me feel that I was dissimilar. There was a feeling inside that I couldn't describe.

SHARK WITCHCRAFT? FEMALE SHARKS GATHER EACH YEAR BENEATH THE FULL MOON
Imagine a scenario in which storms overwhelm Los Angeles with shark-filled floods, and tornadoes twist those floodwaters into deadly twisters known as sharknados. Even while this scenario seems exciting, our emphasis today is on a true underwater mystery rather than the inventiveness of Hollywood. Under the full moon, we're diving among the mysterious group of Great Hammerhead sharks. In the seas near French Polynesia, sharks—often thought of as lone predators of the deep—display their secret social side. An all-female gathering of hammerhead sharks, with their strange behavior intimately linked to the moon cycle, has been observed in recent years by an international team of experts.

I've Been Writing for Lit Mags for Nearly A Year: Here's What I've Learned
The online literary scene is a storm of chaos that would make Dionysus weep with glee. Carnage churns the landscape, equal parts ink-soaked soil and vicious jungles. The torn bodies of old works, rejected works, and lost publications litter the lands, and your hopes and dreams bid you to step right over them. Sink them further into the muck of "yester-submissions" as you forge on in armor that may be the new shining plates of optimism, or plates scorched from burnout, painted with scenes of battles and cut out passages from a tale ongoing.

Never Eat The "Clean" Part Of Moldy Bread
Imagine that you are prepared to create the ideal sandwich. Imagine a sandwich made with tender turkey, ripe tomatoes, and creamy Swiss cheese, all lavishly encircled by two pieces of fragrant sourdough bread and served on a bed of fresh romaine lettuce. It's a time-honored joy and a future masterpiece. Oh no, however! This is what? You see mold as you reach for the bread, which is unattractive. Ugh! The puzzling issue is now, can you save your sandwich by just chopping off the rotten piece and eating the rest? Prepare yourself, because the solution may not be as obvious as you believe.

Writing Prompts for the Curious Creative. Top Story - September 2023.
Recently, I’ve been incorporating songs into my novel writing, and it's made me realize how much of my creativity comes from my engagement with various forms of art. I've written poems for advertisements, discovered short story inspiration from a well-designed garden, and reshaped characters based on how I perceived they would react to a very fussy dessert.

Campfire Stories
Campfire stories. We have all heard them. We have all told at least one. They send chills down our spines, making us scared to sleep at night. Parents, siblings, friends, and camp counselors have told us. The scarier they are, the more we love them.
