Humans get tired, content machines don't. Top Story - May 2026.
Things have changed whilst I was busy attending other things. And I fell. I fell out of consistency and discipline. What happened to the work we, writers, used to do? More precisely, what happened to the way we used to do it? In the rush to monetise every aspect of our creative work, I've noticed a subtle shift that feels a lot less sustainable, perhaps a lot less creative and personal.

Fear Lives in the Minds of Men. Top Story - May 2026.
I didn’t think I would ever write horror, but here I am, writing horror. It’s not violence-forward horror, by the way. I’ve taken the thesis from this poem and made it the thesis of the horror story as well: fear lives in the minds of men and the bodies of women. And even more importantly, I will show them fear. They can keep their dust.

Ancient Wonder, Modern Review. Top Story - May 2026.
Do you ever wonder what it would be like to visit the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World? Not as a historian, but as a (most likely) jet-lagged modern traveler with a phone in hand and opinions to share?

Early May 2026: 8 Goals Accomplished. Top Story - May 2026.
It was a script idea that I had a while back. It was the opening to a script I had typed out so I wouldn’t forget it. And then, I had left it there with plans to get back to it… at some point. I put it on my list of writing goals for the year of 2026 and finally got back to it. I finished creating the characters, I outlined, I dove into the themes I wanted to include and to weave throughout… and then I wrote.

The miraculous ups and downs of book writing.. Top Story - May 2026.
Hello Vocal! Yes, I am once again returning from my hiatus to briefly talk about what exactly it is that I've been working on! I'm proud to announce that as of today, I've just published my first (full-length) novel! So if you'll indulge me, I'd love to take a moment to reflect on everything. Because I know there are many other people here on their writing journeys, and perhaps they will find a crumb of encouragement here.

Five ways to keep the muse alive. Top Story - April 2026.
I read Renan Bernardo “Ten years of short fiction submissions” and I’ve been inspired to start submitting short stories again. If Renan can get 800 rejections over ten years, I shouldn’t stop at my meager 100 in one year.

Remembering All the Hidden Gems in Older Books that We Published. Top Story - April 2026.
If the title and subtitle of this story sounds vain and like I'm doing a bit of bragging, that's probably because I am. Lately, I've been revisiting some of my older ebooks that I published nearly 10 years ago. Not only am I surprised at how relevant and just as timely the material still is, but I honestly forgot just how informative, inspirational, and extremely motivating I can be at times.
