A Recipe for Okra

Grieving a dead parent from afar — I found myself staring at a plate of cooked okra slices the Sunday after a crazy week at work. I was having lunch at my coworker’s house in Fort Worth, and the last thing I expected was slow-cooked, gooey okra, looking uncomfortably similar to the kind my mother used to…

I’ll Never Publish Daily, And That’s Perfectly Fine

After all, writing isn’t a one-size-fits-all game — I’m a slow writer. I cannot publish 12 stories a day with a 9–5 (equivalent) in tow. And yet, I’ve done well enough for myself. Here’s how and why. Maybe you have a full-time job, a family, screaming babies, and who knows what else. You need to start making money…

How to Enjoy Being a Content Writer

Things I learned after five years as a content writer — Content writers get a bad rap for a lot of things. The words some cynics throw around, oof! They’re not only often incorrect, but also hurtful. Recently I was reading a piece of content by a writer bemoaning, very ironically, the boring and often meaningless work that goes into writing…

It is easy if you have the right strategy, which is what I’ll show you today.

Hurt People Hurt People

On struggling alone, in hiding — Content warning: self-harm, addiction, suicide, child abuse. I’m not suicidal. Even on my worst days, I cling to life like a cockroach. When I’m down on my back, I flail around pathetically trying to straighten myself. Some days I’m too tired to move, but other days it feels like running…

Do I Really Write for a Living?

The dilemma of the content creator — I have a strange head. That’s not a metaphor. It’s literally a strange-shaped head. You can’t tell because of all that coarse, thick hair, but my skull is flat in the back. Most people have a round-shaped skull, I have a flat skull. This makes my short bed hair particularly…

Want People to Read Your Stories? Use These 5 Writing Tips (They’re Easy! But Effective.)
