I Drove from Phoenix to Sedona — Here's What Nobody Tells You
Everyone told me the Phoenix to Sedona drive was easy. "Two hours up the highway, you'll be fine." They weren't wrong, exactly. But "easy" and "smart" turned out to be two very different things, and I learned the difference the hard way.

I Am Going to Scream!
I think I need anti-anxiety meds. For weeks, I have been trying to set up a domain. I have created it, purchased it, and added it to all my platforms. Then I pointed my domain to my Substack and paid for that. Then I analyzed my platforms. I want to get everything streamlined.

Pleasant Memories
Summer. Gosh, it’s hot. Summers were relatively short in the mountains of Passaic County in New Jersey. We had all the seasons, unlike some of the southern states. Each had its own dramatic flair. Summer was always one of my sister’s and my favorites. It’s when we get to spend the most time outdoors and have the most daylight to be outside as long as possible.

It's A Challenge
Introduction My first challenge today is to get this article published before I have to run off to York. Yesterday was slightly traumatic having to deal with disappearing parcels and potential thefts, but they are now all in hand and dealt with but on to the subject of this thing.

Turning Negatives Into Positives
Introduction When I am looking for inspiration sometimes I have negative thoughts, like the fact that most people don't see me as a creator in any way, I am just there when stuff needs to be done, and that makes things difficult and the lines from Bob Dylan's "Joey" come back to nail things home:

Creativity Is Synthesis, Not Spontaneity
The False Image of the Sudden Idea Creativity is often imagined as something sudden, mysterious, and self-contained. The common picture is a flash of inspiration that arrives whole, clean, and complete, as if the creative person simply receives the idea and writes it down before it disappears. Under that view, real ideas are supposed to feel untouched by process. They are supposed to appear naturally, without visible effort, refinement, conversation, revision, or struggle. Anything that emerges through articulation, outside feedback, tools, or repeated attempts can then be treated as less authentic because it did not arrive in its final form.

He Was Rewritten After His Death. Honorable Mention in The Posthumous Author Challenge.
To comprehend Tim Carmichael, one must first descend into the shadowed recesses of Spillcorn. Deep within the ancient hills of Madison County there lies that forgotten settlement, hidden as though the mountains themselves had conspired to hide it from the modern world. No roaring highways disturbed its solemn quietness. No vast academies, no glittering halls of commerce, no restless tide of tourists found passage there. Indeed, many among the citizens of Asheville dwelt for decades within neighboring valleys without once hearing the name Spillcorn uttered aloud. Yet from that profound isolation there emerged the strange and singular imagination of Carmichael, whose spirit was forever marked by the loneliness of those remote elevations.
