Process
A Discovery in a Bus Shelter. Top Story - November 2025.
I met my first publisher at a bus stop. Yes, I am as busy with the challenges as any of you out there in Vocalland. I have also had more contracts added to my teaching schedule, papers marked and to come on the docket, and I think I may have beaten back a slight cold that set up shop at the back of my head and on my chest. I know that I should rest and restore myself to better shape so that I can keep tapping out these pieces. But I feel compelled to talk about a man who changed my plans for my literary career, especially since I did not think I had one.

Vibe Check
Autumn is finally vibing here in the North Georgia mountains, and it's got me thinking about Kalibayan's vibe. This time of year tends to spark a sense of wanderlust in me. I booked a flight to the Philippines next year. I haven't been back in almost two decades. I'm excited to see the motherland, ask all the questions, and hunt down some lore. Get those monster stories from the source!

“Dear Writer, You’re Allowed to Rest”
You’re Allowed to Rest By[Ali Rehman] Dear Writer, I know you. I know the way your mind races faster than your hands can type. I know how you stare at the blinking cursor like it’s taunting you, whispering that you’re falling behind. I know that quiet panic in your chest when you haven’t written anything “worthwhile” for days — or weeks.
