Bastard (A Novel)
Frank Miller looked out of a window at Hotel Boulderado. He was in room 5. He sat down at the desk provided and ruffled through his documents.
The Cinema
The movie theater was a brand-new kind of entertainment that first appeared in the late 19th century. Simple moving graphics were first displayed on displays in tiny spaces, enthralling viewers with the illusion of motion. This young art form developed become a potent storytelling, creative, and cultural expression tool over time.

From the moment I found a copy of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe on, my bar for excellent books was set, and it was set high.

When discussing vertical marriage, it involves God guiding and leading us. It's common for people to feel like their spouse isn't there for them in the way they desire. However, it's essential to acknowledge that God is always with you. By focusing on Him, you shift your perspective from seeking validation from your spouse to finding fulfillment in your relationship with God. Surrounding yourself with supportive friends who encourage you to seek God's will for your marriage is crucial. It's important to note that in situations of abuse or harm, seeking help and protection is necessary. Vertical marriage emphasizes finding true fulfillment in a relationship with Christ rather than relying on a spouse to meet all your needs. By understanding and experiencing God's grace, you can approach your marriage from a place of serving and loving your spouse, rather than seeking fulfillment from them. This shift in perspective leads to a transformation in the dynamics of the relationship, fostering a mutual exchange of love and service. Ultimately, vertical marriage encourages individuals to find their source of happiness and fulfillment in Jesus, allowing them to approach their marriage as givers rather than takers.
What is the Catholic School Girls' Cinematic Universe?
Cinematic universes make up one kind of shared universe, or fictional worlds that encompass two or more independently written stories. This means that multiple literary works with their own separate plot lines and cast of characters, while they don’t overlap, happen within the same fictionalized world.

My lungs burn with every inhale I take. I don't have a destination, but I know staying put means certain death. It was after midnight, and I was casually driving along the dark, deserted highway, Lana Del Rey playing in the background, when an unexpected emergency alert went off. I spared a quick glance at my cell, annoyed at the interruption, but then I saw the word 'ATTACK' flash across the screen, and my heart skidded to a halt.
Never Piss Off An Author (You Will End Up in Our Next Work!)
A cliché statement, yes, but true, nonetheless. It comes with the territory of watching this world turn (and burn) before my very eyes as well as your own, I’m sure of it. In my own case, I have felt story upon story begging me to be written as more events unfold, not merely in current events globally, but in the behind the scenes of said events. Never mind how such events may impact my own life—bigger things are at play and must be called out!
Jackie BarrowsPublished 4 months ago in CritiqueCritiques Needed: First pages of Project Styx
Authors note: I would like constructive critiques on the first pages of a sci-fi fantasy book I am working on. I would like to know first impressions and things that need to be worked on. This is so I can get an idea of what an agent or editor might think. I also know that this is long—no need to read the whole thing, in fact, tell me when you lose interest.

Roberto Saviano*… or so. If hell exists, it will be populated by people who, capable of being good in life, chose corruption and dishonesty. These beings are the true demons. And they live among us.
Sports Car
I disdain the ephemeral ideals, life philosophies, and activities of humanity on this Earth. Yet, I harbor no aversion for life itself, as it emanates from an imperceptible source, a visible current that is not guided by these dogmas but emerges from the profound depths of emptiness, rising like the inexhaustible essence from the arid soil of time. For all the transgressions on this spinning globe, I first seek the faults within myself. Upon careful contemplation, I perceive my misdeeds as cosmic in scale and a playful mockery of irreparable damages. I acknowledge that wrongdoers and those silently bearing the burden of their transgressions are inherently intertwined, complementary forces. I intensely abhor the insidious idolatry of the leash for its insatiable materialistic cravings. I vividly remember selling my mother at the hands of the butchers in the marketplace for a sports car. The orchestration of a nocturnal feast in pursuit of acquiring the sports car was matched by waiters presenting American steaks, triggering the aroma of my mother’s flesh from the depths of memory.
