The Line I Never Finished
He found the notebook in a box marked “college stuff” while he was looking for something else. The pages were warped from a long-ago leak in the apartment above his. Most of the ink had bled. On the third page from the back, one sentence was still clear enough to read.

All Saint's Day
Today is a sad, but in a way a happy day for me. It's a sad day for this was the day that my brother died back on November 1, 1977, a semester before graduating high school and enlisting in the Navy. It is a happy day also for he did not have to wait long in his grave to brought to the Lord for he, my brother was risen to the Lord on the same day he died and yet lives now and forever. I hope one day that I will see him and my mom and dad again.

People Who Inspired Me To Be A Writer: RL Stine
Who would’ve ever guessed that in 1992 an author would have the brass to basically become the children’s book version of Stephen King? Apparently R.L. Stine did because he is that children’s book version of Stephen King and he’s also one of the authors who inspired me to be an author.

Artists Aren’t Lottery Tickets
I have spent much of today trying to publish a single article. I have edited it, revised it, corrected transcription errors, adjusted the formatting, and submitted it repeatedly. I have tried to work out why a platform keeps rejecting my submission without clearly identifying the specific passage, link, or other element that needs attention.

The Wrong Woman
I stare at the primitive scrawl of squiggles on the blackboard. I've drawn a map: a birds-eye rendition of my apartment complex, Whispering Willows. In my right hand I hold a piece of purple chalk and in my left is a tumbler of whiskey. I take a gulp then draw an angry face in the centre of the map: this is my neighbour, Clarissa, the source of all my torment.

Love All, Shout-Out to Few
Assignment : " Write about five of your favourite writers on Vocal." Lizz "Hunny" Chambers: Why??? The way she writes about the people in her stories are so vivid, realistic, and packed full of essence that you would think they were cousins or neighbors. She has a delicious way with words and honesty. She writes about real-life struggles and doesn't leave flaws out at all. I could not get enough of her series in Chapters. You really owe it to yourself to get acquainted with this gem! She shines.
