Calling All Music Lovers!. Top Story - July 2024.
Time to try one of these unofficial challenges out, if you guys would have me! Here's the prompt: Choose your favorite or one of your favorite albums or songs of all time and write about why it's so important to you. You can take any approach; delve into the lyrics, the instrumentals, the production, or just the way it makes you feel and why. Easy, simple, and fun. Really sell it to me! It can be as long or short as you want, word count doesn't matter to me.

Loving This: Reflections on "A Story Every Day" So Far (June Edition)
The Nuts & Bolts As of the last day in June: it's now 182 days in to the yearlong Story Every Day challenge, which started on 1st January. Halfway there, as of 1st July! Still in it! I've posted a short story every day this year so far. My word count for June: 13,726. That's a little less than average for me. It includes all my micros, (sans the authors note), my look back at May, challenge entries, updates on my unofficial Fucked Up Fairytales challenge, musings about the 3am challenge, a recipe, and a review.Stats: My monthly peak at my stats shows that my read count has gone up a bit, but still not at the peak it was a few months ago. Reads: Busted past the 11k mark in June, so there's that. My most-read , most-liked story in June was story #157, "I am Jack's Tumour". It's not actually very well read, or very well-liked; it's on page seven of the stats. Top Stories: Only two this month! Jack's Tumour was the first one, then #172, The Syrup Dream. Sleeping Beauty was published on the 30th, but not made top story until a day or two later, so it should probably be in my July count.

Short stories from 100 Selected Stories, by O Henry
A T MIDNIGHT THE CAFÉ wa s crowded. By some chance the little table at which I sat had escaped the eye of incomers, and two vacant chairs at it extended their arms with venal hospitality to the influx of patrons.

Short stories from 100 Selected Stories, by O Henry
ONE DOLLAR AND EIGHTY-SEVEN CENTS. That was all. And sixty cents of it was in pennies. Pennies saved one and two at a time by bulldozing the grocer and the vegetable man and the butcher until one's cheek burned with the silent imputation of parsimony that such close dealing implied. Three times Della counted it. One dollar and eighty-seven cents. And the next day would be

An ode to imposter syndrome
An ode to imposter syndrome Self-worth and self-belief are the two sides of the same coin. We all have seeds of self-doubt planted within us, either from our inner limiting beliefs, trauma or negative projections of other people’s opinions. It is hilarious how we place our self-esteem in the hands of others with ease and then find ourselves in the labyrinth of negative perceptions of ourselves or dwindling confidence in our abilities. Life is a paradox, to heal you must be hurt, amid the most massive of pain and breakdown lies the most eminent breakthrough you would ever receive. If you want confidence and faith in your abilities, you must swim through the turbulent ocean of self-doubt and insecurity.

Positive Words
Introduction I sometimes have a problem writing, because although almost everything I see or discover gives me a reason to write, I often pull back because I see the subject as not uplifting or positive enough.
