They Better Never Give Me a “Dear Jason” Column
I found myself giving advice to my good friend the other day. I started thinking about how often I give advice to him and a handful of other online and real-life friends. I’m also apt to tell my kids what “I” would do in any given tough situation that they’re going through, mainly when asked.

The Other World
When the cold returns, so do my nightmares: vivid, sharp, crisp and painful dreams of horrid things. My nights become trapped in another world, living through movies that only exist in my head, braving stories my subconscious wrote. And, it drives me here to leave them on this page, despite knowing there is no solace in writing them out. It only serves to express what the various part of my brain is waking to scream across the folds of my mind.

Why You Should Blog
By far the most compelling argument in favor of starting a blog is that it gives its owner with an endless supply of opportunities. Blogging makes your professional identity visible to the world and helps you stand out in a unique way. Increased friendship, financial gain, and personal development are all advantages of blogging.

The Ramblings of a Wanna-be Writer
I am a writer. Saying those words have been the hardest for me to say in the longest time without adding a qualifier or holding up "air quotes". I have also seen myself as a creative person who could turn that creativity into the words. I have wanted to write and have enjoyed writing for long enough that I cannot articulate a time when I did not. Whether I was good at it is debatable, depending on who you asked but I enjoyed it immensely.

AI-Generated Characters Versus Actors
Lately, there has been a plethora of articles that show the actor in a film versus an AI-generated image of the character created by an artist and a computer together. The artist feeds the character description from the book into a generator and BANG! We have exactly what Harry Potter was supposed to look like and not Daniel Radcliff.

The Ghetto Love That Changed My Life: The Finale
One isn’t necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can’t be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.-Maya Angelou

My father is too powerful for me
One "You recently asked me why I am afraid of you. As always, I am speechless, both because I am afraid of you and because to articulate this fear would require a detailed count of so many trivialities that I simply could not say them all at once." In November 1919, at the age of 36, Kafka wrote a lengthy letter - "To My Father" - to his father, Hermann Kafka, who was then 67 years old. The letter was more than 100 pages long and dissected in detail the painful and strained relationship between their father and son. He entrusted his mother to deliver the letter to his father, but his mother read the letter and sent it back.

Getcovers
Normally, I design my book covers myself. But, I had seen millions of ads for a design company called Getcovers, and their covers were totally decent. So were their prices, so I decided to go ahead and hire them for a cover for a novelette I plan to release on OBOOKO. Here is the finished cover. It took them two days to finish the order.
