So, I Changed My Pen Name

I can explain — I made mistakes in the beginning. I thought if I told family and friends from Day 1 about my writing, they’d be all for it. I thought I’d be writing forever and not need to worry about looking for a job because I’d get successful quickly. I’ll be the first…

Application Fees Need To Be Illegal

They’re a scam, no matter where they come from — In a small town, a high school senior is applying to college. The kid is poor and feels guilty about asking their parents for money to apply. It’s the third college the kid applied to in a month. They shake as they hit “Submit” hoping this one accepts them. Meanwhile…

The Best Books I Read In January 2023

A small start, but going strong — Last year, I put so much pressure on myself to read as many books as I can get my hands on, I burned out from reading. I got so bad I started returning unfinished books, unable to get into the story. Slowly, I’m pulling myself out. I checked out five…

I Lost Ten Pounds By Getting Horribly Sick!

Sound familiar? — I wanted to write a sentimental article about turning thirty-five last month. I had this idea of creating thirty-five life lessons and observations and taking a shot at humor. I’m thirty-five, but I’m not dead, right? But the night of my birthday, I started coughing, and my throat started hurting…

My Library’s Book Club Pick Of January 2023

“A Thousand Splendid Suns” By Khaled Hosseini — Have I mentioned how much I love being a part of a book club? It’s wonderful finally going to a place where we can have a conversation about a book. And that book conversation morphs into more meaningful conversations that help you learn about one another. This year, I want…

Why The Changes In “A Man Called Otto” Make Sense

A film adaptation to a book where I understand why the changes happened — Film adaptations of books are a crap shoot. We want them to be good, but they take the meat out of most of the story and replace it with Hollywood trash. Subtleties disappear, and you’re left with ham-fisted garbage. And then A Man Called Otto comes along, and suddenly, I…

New Writers, Please Don’t Take It Personally If I Don’t Add You On My Facebook

It’s not you, it’s me — Picture yourself scrolling through Facebook one day. You’re not doing anything interesting but passing the time. You look at your likes and your comments, and then you see a Friend Request. The name doesn’t sound familiar. When you look at the pictures, you don’t recognize anyone. So you check mutual…

No, Instagram, I Don’t Want To Follow My Ex

It’s weird you keep trying to push it — Picture it. It’s an ordinary day. You’re bored, so you check Instagram to see some cool pictures. You notice you have notifications, so you check them. People like your pictures! Random people started following you. You’re seeing the occasional comment. Then you notice something. Instagram points out you might know…

My Best Articles Of 2022

I didn’t write as much this year, but I still made a small impact — This year, I found myself discouraged. With having to get a job to help with bills and seeing the views drop, I haven’t been as motivated to write. Part of me started thinking, “What’s the point?” But I still kept going. I don’t know how many articles I wrote, but…
