Substack
I have recently discovered Substack.com as an alternative to writing with a WordPress website. I was looking for other writers who also share an interest in photography and found there are many quality writers on Substack. They also have a good business plan if you want to write and make money from it. You can […]

Kayaking Catawba
Monday morning I went down the river five miles in three hours in a kayak from Catawba Dam to the exit location. The water level in most areas was four feet deep but connections between rivers were deep. My third time in a kayak and I had my lunch on the river with a friend […]

Nomad
Standing in the dark, a heavy weight on my back, a light pushes past me, a hum of the heater all around me, a sad and lonely hearts hangs within, a smile eeks out, slowly spreading out of my thoughts, it’s just me, no one to hold, no one hug, no one to love, the […]

Armchair
Legs crossed, a light stays on at the entrance opposite me, sitting in this armchair shrouded by the night. Face dimly lit by that off cast. The A/C whirrs above me and below me. Returned I have from standing almost two hours. Watching the sun set through the camera’s faithful time-lapse capture. Engines rumble past […]

Sadness
I felt like writing something today as I went to check the mail. I hadn’t written visually in a while and this came to mind after a hot shower. It’s not much but I was able to pull this emotional feeling from a friend’s passing last year. Sadness. A friend passed. Sleep comes quickly. The […]

Sickly beings
There sits a house shrouded by trees. The eyes occasionally open, dim and close from morning to evening. Inside, the furniture changes its course by day. Dishes strewn from room to room, a dishwasher always full. A robed father sits in his chair, sometimes gauntly leaning over a computer. No one dares touch him because […]

The Gist of Copyediting
Being a good writer is not the purist’s way to writing well. Clean, filtered water is pleasing to one’s taste and health, like texts written well do smoothly flow through your eyes into your thoughts. Most know how to write or type out their thoughts for others to read. Some take the time to use […]
