No More National Novel Writing Month. Top Story - November 2025.
For many years now, in November, I would write 50,000 plus words for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). Each day, I would write. It wasn't important to edit as I wrote, because I knew in a month or two it would be time to edit.

LOVE 'S FIRE
CCEveryone loves at least once in their life. This is a proverb, the truth of CHAPTER 1 which I have no argument. But I think that there is also a phrase that is 100 percent true, but everyone is afraid to say it. Perhaps because this phrase is an admission of mistakes and shortcomings ... of those mistakes and shortcomings, which we realize when the time to correct them has passed. That phrase is'' Everyone regrets at least once in their life''. It is true that we all regret. Sometimes for some haste, sometimes for some delay, sometimes for some lack of courage, sometimes for some unnecessary boldness, sometimes for some decision, sometimes for some expediency. And sometimes for the entire past life, sometimes this regret is just a momentary feeling and sometimes it covers the rest of our life.

A Community in Need: The Truth Behind the Silence
The community I live in is changing, not in the way many think. On the surface, it appears to be progress, new apartments, renovated homes, and rising property values. Outsiders view the Jersey Shore as a destination for summer fun, tourism, and economic growth. But behind those freshly painted walls and tourist attractions lies a truth too often ignored, my community is being gentrified.

Beneath the Table
Anxiety. Burnt coffee. Students with baggy eyes. It was a week to the final exams all right – that not-too-welcome yet inevitable time of the semester when students were in a constant state of panic. Brains were in a frenzy, overheated from cramming topics that were long overdue. Everyone was scared. These grades would determine if they passed on to the next class or not.
