First, there was Mailchimp. Then, there was Wordchimp. And now, you've got a “Storychimp” sharing writing-related advice and other random musings. Happy reading! All works are written by me, not by AI.

My Experiences and Thoughts on the Digital Humanities
I have never been the most technologically literate individual, though I concede that it is imperative as an interdisciplinarian to engage with the digital humanities while nevertheless remaining critical of the discipline. To understand how I am able to create knowledge by using technology, I must adopt computational thinking. (Berry and Fagerjord) In my work as a content writer, I utilize search engine optimization (SEO) tools such as keywords and meta descriptions to not only effectively answer my targeted audiences' questions but to also provide them with innovative insights that reflect my credibility as an expert in that particular area. I am prioritizing relevance in public culture, and this demonstrates my adherence to algorithmic practices. (Berry and Fagerjord)

Is it okay for things to be incomplete?
The thought that virtually no idea can ever be fully established is one that I've had to come to terms with as a writer. Over the years I've come to understand that if I truly want my work to be participative and even interdisciplinary then my writing needs to encourage dialogue rather than provide all the answers - which aren't necessarily the rights ones anyway.

There Can Be Sparkle, There Can Be Shine
It has been almost twenty years since I lost my pet cockatiels, and this is the first time I'm writing about it after so long. This was always a difficult subject for me to put in words because, like any animal companion, they were part of the family and I never truly stopped feeling guilty about what happened to them.

An Analysis of 'Flying from the Heart'
Story in Question The story of the young robin I had saved in my adolescence is indeed true, though not quite as whimsical and introspective as I have presented it in the accompanying slideshow. I am nevertheless a firm believer in animal and botanical sentience, and symbolic beliefs that have been passed down in my family for generations. For thematic substance, I added my own interpretation to each. For example, the oak tree here represents endurance in life, as shown in the robin’s will to live when we first meet and last see it, whereas the robin itself embodies hope for the future in how it changed my outlook throughout the story, all while retaining a sense of unfailing rapture.

Can Critics Be Wrong?
I have been critiquing virtually all forms of entertainment media for almost seven years now, and the longer I do this, the more I sympathise with other critics' increasing exhaustion with the endeavour. Not because it gets boring—although I do very much like to save my creative juices for other projects in the interest of exploring other challenge-filled avenues—but because it sometimes feels like audiences don't understand or appreciate why critique exists in the first place.
