I was creating when I was a child
From the age of 8 (eight) years old, I was creating, something. That something was a piece of work, like now, that I would have the desire to share with the world. This desire would be about what I was about, which was communicating, and telling stories of what I wanted the world to know.

Why I Check My Stats Daily?
Looking at the stats has been given a bad rap. The basic argument is that looking at the numbers can be a huge deterrent in the creative process because it blocks creativity due to an excessive focus on numbers rather than the art itself.

A Woman in Berlin
The book, A Woman in Berlin, is the diary of the German woman known as Anonymous. In her book, Anonymous recounts the final weeks of the Third Reich and later Russian occupation of Berlin. Writing from April until June 1945, she gives insight into being on the receiving end of the invasion. Here we will explore how did Anonymous change or confirm her opinion of Russians from the war to the end of the occupation of Berlin? In this, we will look at her relationship with Petka, Lieutenant Anatol, and Sergeant Andrei. How do these three confirm or change Anonymous’s views on Russians during the occupation? How does her attraction belie their “barbarism?” The war and occupation gave Anonymous an upfront and raw exposure to the Russians. And in this, they began to fill the power vacuum formerly occupied by the now decrepit and broken men of Germany.
