Here’s a statistic that caught my attention recently: 600 million active blogs exist today, yet only 14% of bloggers create content longer than 2,000 words. This gap represents a massive opportunity for anyone serious about building sustainable online income.

Getting Back Into Gear
Introduction I normally publish two or three Vocal stories a day, but over the last week, I have struggled to even publish one. There are reasons for this, which I shall elucidate here, but this is my second piece today no I am getting back into gear. I also hope this is helpful for other creators who hit similar situations.

Seven By Seven
Introduction I was thinking how September was originally the seventh month. September was historically the seventh month in the Roman calendar, but it became the ninth month after January and February were added, shifting the subsequent months out of their original numerical positions. The name "September" comes from the Latin word septem, meaning "seven".

Short Observation On Lack Of Interaction With Vocal Stories
Introduction I tend to publish two or three Vocal stories a day and comment on at least ten (though I feel I don't do enough), and usually a dozen stories by other authors each week, but I am perturbed by these recent observations.

AI overview of The Silence of Everything. AI-Generated.
The Silence of Everything is a collection that delves into the unspoken layers of human emotion. It captures moments of solitude, whispers of longing, and the quiet reflections we often hide from the world. Each poem is a mirror—sometimes gentle, sometimes sharp—reflecting the complexities of life, love, and loss. The book invites readers to pause and feel, to notice the small, almost invisible moments that leave the deepest impressions on our hearts. It’s about the weight of silence, the power of introspection, and the subtle beauty that exists in stillness. Every line encourages contemplation, reminding us that even in the quietest spaces, emotions can speak volumes. Through The Silence of Everything, readers are guided on an emotional journey where words become experiences, and each pause holds meaning. It’s a book for those who seek depth, for those who find beauty in reflection, and for anyone willing to listen to what is often left unsaid.

To Publish A Book Of Poetry
Introduction I am currently working on self-publishing my most ambitious collection yet. It will probably be called "The Art Of The Glittering Fox" because it is a collection of Angie Livingstone's amazing art, accompanied by my words.

Artists Five Hundred Years Ago
Introduction This is short, and the reason for it will become clear. I saw this excellent meme from Doris Rose Art and think that if I don't publish anything, people will think I am dead, but they will just forget I exist.

The Youngest Voice in the Silence — How I Wrote 10 Books Before 18. AI-Generated.
When most teenagers are figuring out who they are, I was figuring out how to tell the world my story — and the stories of countless emotions that live inside us. By 18, I had authored 10 books, each carrying a part of me: my thoughts, my poetry, my reflections on peace, and my fascination with the beauty of silence. My latest book, The Silence of Everything, published on March 28, 2025, is more than a title — it’s a philosophy. Silence, to me, is not the absence of words, but the presence of meaning. It is where inspiration is born, where creativity matures, and where stories begin before they are spoken aloud. Winning the Literature Time Award and being nominated for the Global Youth Award were affirmations that my voice matters, even if it is often expressed in whispers on paper rather than loud speeches. But these milestones didn’t come easily. Writing is romanticized, but behind every page there were late nights of editing, countless rounds of formatting, self-doubt that whispered "maybe this isn’t good enough", and the determination to keep going regardless. I’ve learned that being a young author isn’t about how many books you write — it’s about the courage to write them at all. Each book taught me something new: about language, about resilience, and about myself. And though my journey has just begun, I hope my words inspire other young voices to rise, even in the quiet. Because sometimes, it’s in the silence that you hear yourself the clearest.
