Crafting a Narrative Tapestry
I do product reviews. I love product reviews. Why? Because as an introvert, I can be very opinionated. This is my first review (Officially) on Medium. I have written reviews before on my blogs and on HubPages. I did not know that I could write a review on Medium, but then I realized that people do reviews all the time. Sometimes, you do not realize it until the piece is done, and you feel proud that you have written such a masterpiece.

That time I Flunked out of College.
When I was 17 years old, I graduated from high school. This is the typical age to prepare to transition from being a child to a teen and, finally, an adult in the Western world, especially in the United States and Canada. I cannot speak for other Western countries.

I Have Trust Issues
Lately, I have been looking inward at myself. I have been trying to figure out things such as “Why am I not doing so well in my business?” If you have seen my last post, “The Time I Flunked out of College,” you will find that I have done pretty well myself when it comes to academics. Employment and business, which is another story. I will sum it up with two little words, “Trust Issues.”

Do you think Disney hates its fans?
I do not think that Disney hates its fans. I think at the moment, Disney is misunderstanding the fans, and the fans are misunderstanding that Disney is a company first. Companies need to make money to keep fans happy, and it is not happening at the moment. Disney has gone through periods like this in the past. Also, Bob Iger regrets that he hired Bob Chepak because Chepak did not have Disney and its fans in mind when he made some of these moves before he left. I think that is one of the reasons Bob Iger came out of retirement until a proper replacement has both Disney as a company, and its fans happy with what Disney is doing. At the same time, the fans need to realize that Disney is going to change, and those changes may not be what the fans want. yes, they want rides that thrill, but at what cost? I am using Tron Lightcycle as an example. The ride looks fun, but I do not like the ride vehicle itself. They do not accommodate people with disabilities. The vehicle looks like the one in Disney’s Animal Kingdom’s Pandora Land that allows you to ride with a Banshee. I’m a Disney fan, and my disability is that I am short (5′) and I have short forearms. I realize that the Tron ride has cars for people like me to ride this new ride, but there are not enough of these cars. I understand that not every Disney ride is not for me, but I still go to Disney. I also do not like Genie+ and the whole Lightening Lane system. I remember when you can just hope in a park and ride any ride you want, even during the “E-ticket” days. You did not have to pay extra to jump a line because there was a way to get to the ride quicker, and you did not have to register to get into a park. I understand that this is how Disney can control the number of people who go to their parks, and they are a business. That does not mean I have to like it. I also take into account inflation in United States right now, and Disney is still trying to recover from shutting down completely in 2020. I would like to see Disney and its fans get on one page to make both parties happy. That will probably not happen because the world is always changing, and the Bob Igers and Chepeks will come and go.

Trying To Talk To Someone
Today, I was going to submit another story. On second thought, Why can’t I submit two articles on the same day on Medium? There are no rules that say you must submit one article. It is not the best practice, and you can still do what is called “Batch” or “Stack” writing. It is when you prepare a bunch of articles for publishing, and then you set a schedule, a timetable on when you will publish them. I have seen a lot of articles on the method, which I will be doing in 2023 for all three platforms (Medium, Hubpages, and Vocal Media).

Be Gentle This Holiday Season
Back in August, I shared with you a tribute to my mom. She passed away from a 10-year battle with Parkinson’s Disease at age 84. I will not go back over how I felt at that moment, but I will reference the article. For those of you who read it, thank you. I have never written anything like that before. Okay, I take it back. I did write a brief tribute to Whitney Houston, but I attribute it more to a fan honoring a favorite celebrity when they first passed away. Also, Whitney’s passing was different from mommy’s. My mom was not a celebrity, except through my family and friends’ eyes only. If Whitney were a regular person with no fame behind her name, I would not have known about her, except if I had met her in person and we could have been friends.

My Thought Process
"This is not a trendy post, and I doubt I will get likes." This is what every. Single. Person. Who write on Medium, Hubpages, Vocal Media, and others are thinking when they start an article. I should know. I am having these thoughts right now.

May I Borrow or Use This Wonderful Piece of Art?
Introduction to the article On June 20, 2020, I published a blog post on Blogger for the My Ambiance Life blog I owned on the site. The blog was replaced by the now functioning but on hiatus blog, The Writing Cove, which I have on GoDaddy. I still have it, but I archived it in my head. I have a link to the blog on The Writing Cove, but I should warn you that I have many grammar mistakes in this blog post. Hey, isn't that how we learn how to write better? I am still learning, and I was reading another writer's article on Medium who said that "the more you write, the better you will become at writing."

Quora, This Is Goodbye.
You are probably wondering what I am talking about. Quora is a social media platform that specializes in answering questions. The answer is there if you want to know how to treat your child. The answer is there if you want to know what role Quantum Physics and theory play in the real world versus Star Trek. Got Disney questions? You will find the answer. Quora answers will fuel any answer a person has. I have answered questions about religion, minor sports, how to get customers, the perfect Disney food, and how to treat a narcissist. There was nothing I could not answer unless I did not understand the question's wording or the question was too stupid to answer.
