It's All About The Story
From the book’s description, "Africans and African Americans left Earth in 1900, and went to another planet in The Milky Way to escape mistreatment.” I was immediately intrigued. Sean Wright’s Skoll’s Diary is more than the simple telling of a young man’s life on Saturn, it is a book that should awaken all who read it to one certain... Continue Reading →

You'll Never Walk Alone is a slow read, and that is a good thing, because the story should be read slowly and digested in increments. There is more than one story being told, and the details are such that at least two distinct books could have been crafted ---which, in the hands of an author... Continue Reading →

So long since I have been touched. So long since I have touched another. So long since I have shared an emotion. Absence of physical contact. Absence of emotional support. Absence of tenderness, kindness, passion, love or lust. In a crowd, I am alone. In life, I am alone. Always, I am alone. Every day... Continue Reading →
I wake to hear orders shouted as I am lifted on a makeshift gurney. The stretcher-bearers carry me back across no-man’s land. I hear them tell one another to step on the bodies so as to not sink into the mud. As a boot lands upon the fallen, occasionally moans are released from those not... Continue Reading →

The question as old as time. WTF is the meaning of life? Really! The older I have gotten the more I tend to wonder. Was it better when life expectancy was much shorter?

“3 Of The Most Effective Ways To Fail As A Writer” by Brian Kurian https://link.medium.com/bBrfNg9vLX
Grey skies release rain Hot pavement turns it to steam Moisture hangs in the air
I walk down this well-trodden path, resigned to my fate. The sky is filled with dark clouds, threatening a downpour that will sweep me off my feet and drown me in its flood. There is no light; no rays of sunshine; no warmth. Despite efforts to protect myself, piling layers upon layers, I feel the cold penetrating into the depths of my soul. Winter is here. Well and truly.
What do you do when your mind begs to succumb to the deep pits of despair? How do you crawl out from the sinister tunnel of self-doubt? You’re in pain; mental fatigue; physical stress. You’re on the brink of shut down mode.
Oh, but The Show must go on! The children need to be fed, clothed and loved. The house should be cleaned. The bills must be paid. You have to turn up to work. People rely on you to function…

For years now, Facebook went through many facelifts and changes. So many times, I remember going, “What the frack?” and “Okey-dokey.” On my journey to become an author, I created a network of fellow creatives from various fields, as well as editors and small publishers. It stuck with me that often they would say Facebook hurt their business.
We all know that Instagram belongs to Facebook. It is their application to share pictures and videos. An excellent platform for authors, or at least, it was. Then again, they went full-purged on their users. Going through a multiple of “Follow Loop,” I must say that I dropped out…
