Path to Oblivion
Intro by Luna Park “Diary Entrance 100, We all knew that one day humans, we, would find a path but not for the best, rather to oblivion. We would fight each other until the last and there is no glory in it. And the best part of all, is that we are so blind by all the things we became, in it including all the words in all the languages of men to describe all the bad behaviours and things that humanity could ever do, all came true. We are not in the movies anymore. This is the truth. All the craziness of nuclear weapons happened. So, here is presented the path to oblivion. Only a few survived. And no, we did not go to Mars nor another planet. We got got stuck here on Earth. Apocalypse is not a theme anymore, but pain still is. I suffer every day by the effects of radiation. Al science and their creators of what some call the dark magic. Stupid, I know. I don’t believe in it. We all lost the belief in Christmas or any Mambo Jambo of the past. Capitalism died just there when it was it’s time, as the things named with ism.

A Story Every Day - Prompts for February 2024
February is almost on us, so here are some prompts for you for your brain to mull on! Reminder: The aim is to post a short story (microfiction) EVERY DAY in 2024. Here's the post about it, and the follow-up. Word limit is 366 (minimum count 300) The prompts are aids only, not challenges (unless you want to use them that way). It doesn't have to be perfect. Hopefully a decent standard, but not perfect. Perfection is the enemy of creativity, no? The idea is to get the juices flowing. Stories that are short and sweet, and plenty of them. There's a way to keep your streak going if you know in advance you won't be able to get online on certain dates

vocal bliss
As the new year approaches, there is always a significant push to pick ourselves apart, see where we can make personal improvements, set goals, and decide how to completely change our lives to become even better versions of ourselves. Although I feel the excitement around the impulse of making changes, improving, and setting goals, I’m not one to set my lofty resolutions during the frigid winter months. I’m in hibernation mode, and if it doesn't include a sweater, slippers, and tea, I’m probably not going.

Storm In A Magic Teapot
Introduction This is for the first part of Gary Ragnarsson's Challenge that you can read here, the Storm In A Teapot one I have a magic teapot. It's the morning of December 27th and I am having a hot cup of tea, looking out of the window at the snow falling. The milk was frozen in the bottle when I brought it in this morning and had to scoop it out with a teaspoon and let it melt into my tea.

I Don't Set Goals, I Make Plans
I don’t usually set goals. Goals can be missed, that’s why I have switched to selecting targets. Targets are things that cannot be missed. Or if they are missed, you are forced to ask the question of why you missed, how far off target you were, and what you can do to not miss the target again. This change in mindset is why I have switched to making plans. I realize that all may sound pretentious. However, this outlook has come from experience. It comes from what I learned both from playing sports and when I worked in sales. This mindset has taken over many aspects of my life. To the point that now when someone asks me about goals, I avoid using that word to describe something in the future. Looking at my life over the last few years, the occasions when I do use it is in the past tense. And most often my use of goal is to communicate what I did in simplest terms, as targets or plans can carry negative undertones. This is more due to the limitations of our language, and word association.

Mastering the Craft: How to Edit and Revise Your Creative Writing. Content Warning.
Creativity speaks a thousand words that no grandiose gesture ever can express. We often define creativity as the art of expressing one’s opinions through different creative outlets. Creativity is the essence of every decision we take; it is the catalyst that equips us to think over the conventional bounds of a perceived notion. The flow of performing various tasks coherently with a spark of unconventional ideas marks the essence of creativity. Whether it be media houses, the publishing industry, business magnates or authors, creativity pioneers the process of brainstorming and building brands that leave an impact on the lives of consumers.

To the ones January has not been kind to
To the ones January has not been kind to Hey there stranger, I hope you realize how amazing you are and how beautiful the world is because of you in it. This one is for you if January has not been kind to you. I know right now all you feel is how the darkness that surrounds knows no end, and the light that you are so desperately and intently searching for seems to lose its way in the dreariness of despair. I know all you long right now is a moment of peace and this month has constantly put you on the edge of your sanity. January has not been your month, all it has done is test your strength and remind you that you need to keep it all together. Life in its entirety has plonked you into the land of uncertainty, and all you yearn for is to be lost in a land where you cannot be found, only to be rescued with the warmth of love and a warm cup of coffee.
