We are people of words, right? We are writers, creators, artists. And yet somehow, quite often we forget to actually consider the words we use everyday. We are painters who forget to look at the colour on our palate. Colours that have a powerful effect on how we feel.

A Discourse on Pizza, or 10 Things About Me. Top Story - September 2023.
This is written as a part of Kayleigh’s Get to Know Me series. So, I despise writing about myself (shit, that should have been point number one), and that means this will probably have no polish to it. By the time we get done together, it’s going to resemble regurgitated alphabet soup garnished with hot takes and bad puns. Get ready. But hey, there’s a challenge and a prize at the bottom for anyone who makes it there!

What is Your Voice?
Detecting Your Accent Despite opinions to the contrary, what constitutes a writer’s “voice” relies on their writing style, technique, vocabulary, and grammatical structure. Detecting a writer’s voice is something that most people do after reading a specific author for a long time. It’s like your relationship with someone that you've become intimately familiar with. Family members, friends, and coworkers are all people we become so familiar with their speech patterns that we instantly know if someone is trying to impersonate them. Or if there is something wrong with them, by the way, they are talking alone.

Attending an Indigenous Writers Gathering Was Great!
When attending the Indigenous Writers Gathering at a Tribal and Community College an hour from my house, I noted that a lot of the writers’ work came from serious topic areas. Then there were the fun and funny works as well!

Unlocking My Love Part 3
Welcome back, readers. If you have been following this little three-parter I have created, you know about my first written story and how I strayed from the writer’s path during high school. However, if this is your first time reading this short jaunt down memory lane, I shall direct you to where you can visit previous installments. You can read, or revisit, those crucial points in my writing journey here: Part 1 and Part 2. Would I consider those my first writing piece is a matter of perspectives? Sure, both were written in the form of freelance, but the title of my first official story for eyes beyond my own goes to a piece I wrote for a writing contest.

The Enigmatic Echoes
The Enigmatic Echoes Chapter 1: The Invitation The day started like any other for Detective Amelia Sullivan. The sun had just begun its ascent over the city, casting long shadows on the cobblestone streets. Amelia, a tall and determined woman in her early forties, lived for her job. She sipped her coffee as she reviewed the morning paper. An invitation to the grand opening of the "Mysterious Mansion" had caught her eye.

How Vocal Media Changed My Life
I first started with Vocal Media about three years ago. Then, not long after I joined, I had a downturn in ongoing health problems and a pretty bad accident. I stupidly fell off my bike going much too fast in the rain. Thank God the pavement was there to break my fall. Sadly, it also broke my left hip and leg and put me in hospital for three solid months.
