My First Book Could Have Saved A Life
I found myself burnt out this morning when I went to write. I haven't written in days, and I know I need to keep it up or I'll lapse into another 5-month hiatus. And that can't happen because it'll prevent me from reaching my goals. So I stuck some music in my ears and contemplated why I'm feeling this way.

Disorderly Conduct
When I reached the fourth grade, I found myself in Georgia in an inner-city school. As the only "white girl" there, except for my cousin who was in kindergarten, my school life was difficult at best. I'd get up in the morning, work the farm, then get dressed for school. I walked down the dirt road to the bus stop and spent the next 7 hours defending myself. Life was just hard. My parents had recently split and it landed us in poverty-ville USA, on a piece of ground my mother's family endearingly called a farm, even though we barely grew anything more than dirt and misery.

Campfire Stories
Campfire stories. We have all heard them. We have all told at least one. They send chills down our spines, making us scared to sleep at night. Parents, siblings, friends, and camp counselors have told us. The scarier they are, the more we love them.

A writer's battle
In the quiet corners of dimly lit rooms, where the soft tapping of keys or the gentle scratch of a pen is the only sound, a war rages. It's a battle not of swords and shields, but instead, an ever-evolving dance of thoughts, feelings, and the heavy weight of expectation, fought in the labyrinthine corridors of a writer's mind. To an outsider, it might seem peaceful, even mundane. But within, there's a tumultuous storm of emotions, a whirlwind of ideas, and an endless waterfall of inspiration cascading down the cliffs of creativity.
