Neurodiversity in Literature
Recently, neurodiversity is a term that has gained popularity as more people begin to understand and embrace the wide spectrum of neurotypes found in today’s world. It’s a concept that’s just beginning to be explored through literature. One thing is for sure, it can have a powerful impact on readers. By encouraging the accurate representation of neurodiverse characters and embracing the benefits of understanding these differences, authors can use their work to positively influence and advocate for the neurodiverse community. Readers can become more aware of the biases and stereotypes surrounding neurodiversity. Ultimately, I hope to encourage readers to think more deeply about neurodiversity in literature and embrace its strengths.

The Desert
The desert stretched out before me, an endless sea of golden sand dunes that seemed to ripple and sway with a life of their own. The sun beat down mercilessly, casting long, distorted shadows across the arid landscape. It was a harsh and unforgiving terrain, but it held a certain allure, a mystery that called out to me.

Embracing Unique Passions: A Path to a Meaningful Life
Have you ever wondered how to live a life worth living, not wasting decades of your life, not squandering the fleeting years of youth? I have only one answer to that: find a dream, an ideal, a passion for yourself and live for it. This is the guiding flame for your life in the past, present, and future. Having a passion is already wonderful because not everyone can define their passion, and it's even more precious if each of us has a distinct passion to leave a personal mark in life, to shine like a bright star. There's an interesting message on this topic that gives us much to think about: "Embrace a unique passion."

It’s the First of the Month
We know it by many names. October. Spooky Season. Spooktober. …I’m sure there are more out there. Anyhow, with an increase in focus on the scary comes an influx of scary content. New horror book unveilings. New spooky challenges on Vocal, coinciding with a decided uptick in the number of unnerving stories making it to the front page with the vaunted crown of Top Story. They even decided to throw in a holiday at some point to cap it all off. Quiet prescient.
