My Process
This tiny episode, now recorded, becomes a testament to the way the mundane can be woven into the tapestry of a larger narrative, and I realize that the journal I am writing is itself a living document, constantly absorbing the present moment’s details.

100 Top Stories and Other Accidents
On March 9th, an entry I published for the "Everyone Is Acting Normally" Challenge, Silken Chains, was awarded a Top Story. I was delighted. For various reasons. It is one of my best-written stories, and it helped me achieve another Vocal milestone.

The Darkness He Called Home
He did not want a way out. He wanted company in the dark. It is dark in here. Not the kind of darkness that simply falls when the Sun goes down, but the kind that clings - damp, cold, airless. It settles on my skin like a second layer, seeps into my lungs, presses against my ribs. The walls sweat. The ground is unstable. Even silence feels wet here.

How To Start Writing on Medium in 2026 (and Actually Get Paid)
I still remember the first $2.31 I made from the Medium Partner Program. Not the first $100 month or the first “viral” story. That strange little $2.31 on a piece I almost didn’t publish. I stared at that green number like it had opened a side door into another life.

The Library of Lost Things
The rain didn’t just fall in Oakhaven; it sighed. It was the kind of gray, relentless drizzle that made you want to stay inside and count your regrets. I found myself standing in front of a building I’d passed a thousand times but never truly noticed: a narrow storefront with a peeling wooden sign that read The Library of Lost Things.

What is the Difference?
I just thought of this article from the idea of my previously published drabble of future writing projects. What is the difference between old-school typewriting and keyboarding. In a keyboarding class do they still make the students use correct posture, fingers on homerow, how to figure margins and such beginning skills of beginning typists? Do they have Timed writings for speed and accuracy? How many of us who had Typing in school remember when having these one-minute, three-minute or five-minute writings to make sure of proper finger placement, proper posture with feet flat on the floor and the teacher walking up and down the aisle making sure.

Writing plans coming up
This is a quick drabble of my upcoming writing articles. First coming attractions in my opinion are a lot of book blurbs of old and new books that I have read, but not complete reviews just to create possible interest. Another idea I had was to offer in this day and age of keyboarding some typing lessons from an old typing textbook I had in high school. Also, I am planning on writing more of my Alphabet stories, as well as more of my art colorings for I just bought a new Bible coloring book. I hope you share thoughts.
