Once upon a time in a small village nestled between rolling hills, there lived a young girl named Emma. Emma had an insatiable curiosity for the world and a deep love for food. She dreamed of exploring the globe and discovering the best foods the world had to offer.
One day, Emma's wish came true when she received an invitation to join a renowned food adventure. Packed with excitement, she embarked on a journey that would take her to different countries, each known for its unique and tantalizing cuisine.
Her first stop was Italy, the land of pasta and pizza. Emma strolled through the vibrant streets of Naples, where the aroma of freshly baked pizza filled the air. She savored every bite, savoring the delicate balance of flavors in each slice. From the traditional Margherita to the innovative combinations of toppings, Emma was captivated by the artistry of Italian cuisine.
Next, Emma traveled to Thailand, a country renowned for its rich and aromatic dishes. She found herself wandering through bustling street markets, enticed by the sizzle of woks and the fragrant herbs and spices. She indulged in a bowl of steaming hot Tom Yum soup, relishing the perfect harmony of spicy, sour, and sweet flavors. The vibrant green curry and pad Thai left her taste buds dancing with joy.
In Japan, Emma discovered a world of culinary elegance and precision. She marveled at the sushi chefs' meticulous craftsmanship as they prepared delicate rolls of fresh fish and perfectly seasoned rice. With every bite, she tasted the harmony of textures and flavors, the balance of simplicity and sophistication.
From Japan, Emma ventured to France, the epitome of gastronomy. In Paris, she strolled past charming patisseries, where the sweet scent of freshly baked croissants filled the air. She delighted in the artful presentation of pastries, marveling at the delicate layers of a mille-feuille and the rich creaminess of a classic crème brûlée. Each bite transported her to a world of indulgence and elegance.
Emma's journey continued across the globe, from the spicy curries of India to the savory delicacies of Mexico, from the hearty stews of Morocco to the vibrant street food of Vietnam. Each country had its own culinary treasures, each dish telling a story of culture, tradition, and passion.
As Emma returned home from her incredible adventure, she realized that the best foods in the world were not confined to a single place. They were scattered across the globe, waiting to be discovered and savored. She carried with her a newfound appreciation for the diverse flavors and techniques that made each cuisine unique.
Inspired by her experiences, Emma decided to open her own restaurant, a place where people could embark on their own culinary journeys. Her menu featured dishes from around the world, each crafted with love and respect for the flavors that had captivated her.
And so, Emma's restaurant became a melting pot of tastes and stories, a place where people gathered to celebrate the beauty of food and the joy of sharing a meal. From that day forward, Emma knew that the best foods in the world were not just about taste but also about the memories and connections they created.
And they all lived deliciously ever after.

Vocal & my relationship to publishing traditionally
Ever since my small writing beginnings, when I started writing on Vocal in February 2021, I had been in a truly terrible slump & funk when it came to my writing. I had so many unfinished projects, ideas, half finished manuscripts and first chapters that were going nowhere.

### The Riverside Bridge Brothers Liam and Owen lived in the peaceful village of Eldenwood, surrounded by thick forests and rolling hills. As distinct as day and night, they were. The older Liam displayed patience and composure. He always read a book with a thoughtful expression on his face. Owen, on the other hand, had a lot of energy and tried hard, always looking for rushes and energy. Despite their differences, the brothers remained close friends. They had lived in a small, cozy cottage built by their late parents by the river. The banks of the river served as their playground and haven. Skip stones, fish, and the future would be the subjects of their endless fantasies. One summer, a severe storm destroyed Eldenwood. The normally tranquil river suddenly became a torrent. The water washed away the old wooden bridge that connected their cottage to the rest of the village. Without the bridge, the brothers were left alone and struggled to live a simple life. Even though it appeared impossible, they were aware that they needed to rebuild it. Owen and Liam decided to work together on the bridge's restoration. To acquire things like wood, they ventured into the woods. As a meticulous individual, Liam was in charge of calculating the necessary plans and measurements. Owen was in charge of the physical labor and used his unstoppable energy to chop wood and move bulky logs. The job was hard and took a long time to finish. Liam's meticulous planning was sometimes hindered by Owen's impatience. "Why is it necessary to measure everything accurately?" Owen would grumble. "Let's just make it and use it for nothing!" "Owen, a strong bridge needs a solid foundation," Liam would calmly respond. If you hurry, it will only become weak." They frequently came to an agreement or disagreement. Every evening, after a long day at work, they would sit by the river to watch the sun set over the water in a golden glow. With their parents, they would discuss their aspirations for the future. They were transported back in time to the moments and love that kept them together. Over the course of the subsequent weeks, the bridge began to take shape. It was evidence of their hard work and cooperation. While installing the final planks, Owen slipped and fell into the river one afternoon. The strong current made it hard for him to stay afloat. Without hesitation, Liam dove into the water. Despite the rapid current, he reached his brother just in time. He was saved by Owen's unwavering efforts. As they lay on the riverbank, gasping for air, their hearts raced. Owen's focus was on Liam, who was crying. "You saved my life," he said softly. Liam grinned with his own sparkling eyes. We are brothers, Owen. We will always support one another." The bridge is sturdy and unmoving when it is finished. Eldenwood residents lauded the brothers' achievements and perseverance. The bridge became a village symbol of community and perseverance. They would take their children to the river and tell them about the bridge after Liam and Owen had their own families a few years later. They would discuss the importance of brotherhood and the lessons they had learned about cooperation and patience. In the end, the bridge was more than just a building; it was also a symbol of the strong bond between two brothers who, despite their differences, had created something beautiful together. Eldenwood residents would be captivated by the story of Liam and Owen and their river bridge for as long as the river continued to flow.
