Seven By Seven
Introduction I was thinking how September was originally the seventh month. September was historically the seventh month in the Roman calendar, but it became the ninth month after January and February were added, shifting the subsequent months out of their original numerical positions. The name "September" comes from the Latin word septem, meaning "seven".

Introduction I tend to publish two or three Vocal stories a day and comment on at least ten (though I feel I don't do enough), and usually a dozen stories by other authors each week, but I am perturbed by these recent observations.

Measuring Value
You are an employee that goes beyond the "craft to execution" and "problem-solving to initiative". You bring strategic impact along with your market vision that directly influences that company's bottom line. But your rank and net pay in the hands of your employer does not change. Not because you are not valuable to them but because they can not afford your services at the market rate nor can they re-design the upper echelon to accommodate your growth and talents without causing "waves". If you give far too much for the same old, you are the majority of the talent stuck within dormant companies that have no systems of recognition of talent based on merit.

AI overview of The Silence of Everything. AI-Generated.
The Silence of Everything is a collection that delves into the unspoken layers of human emotion. It captures moments of solitude, whispers of longing, and the quiet reflections we often hide from the world. Each poem is a mirror—sometimes gentle, sometimes sharp—reflecting the complexities of life, love, and loss.

A Man's Guide to Thriving
The truth about aging hits different when you're staring at your reflection one morning and wondering when your eyebrows decided to go rogue. While Troy Breiland hilariously captures the "follicular betrayal" of middle age in his recent piece about men falling apart, there's another side to this story - one where you don't just survive the changes, but actually master them.

To Publish A Book Of Poetry
Introduction I am currently working on self-publishing my most ambitious collection yet. It will probably be called "The Art Of The Glittering Fox" because it is a collection of Angie Livingstone's amazing art, accompanied by my words.

Artists Five Hundred Years Ago
Introduction This is short, and the reason for it will become clear. I saw this excellent meme from Doris Rose Art and think that if I don't publish anything, people will think I am dead, but they will just forget I exist.

The Youngest Voice in the Silence — How I Wrote 10 Books Before 18. AI-Generated.
When most teenagers are figuring out who they are, I was figuring out how to tell the world my story — and the stories of countless emotions that live inside us. By 18, I had authored 10 books, each carrying a part of me: my thoughts, my poetry, my reflections on peace, and my fascination with the beauty of silence.
