The more we dwell upon our writing, the worse it’ll be.

This quote came to me via the King of writing advice (no pun intended), Stephen King. Who in an interview stated that writing, much like sex, is much better when it isn’t thought about much. He goes on further with his point much more eloquently than I ever could.This quote stuck with me. I have been a long-time lover of Stephen King and believe that he gives the absolute best writing advice. Love him or hate him, this man has some sound advice.This leads me to think about my writing.

Why I still Shoot on Film

It’s no secret that things are getting incredibly expensive. That couldn’t be truer than in the world of film photography. So much so that I have had to dial back the rate at which I shoot a roll. This, in many ways, strengthens the importance of film for me. Each shot is money out of my bank account. Sure, that is probably a horrible way to think about it, but whatever. It leads me to be so much more intentional with every single shutter. In return, when the photos come back, I am dumbstruck at...

Having a Voice in a World Full of Noise

In today’s world, we have access to an abundance of information at our fingertips. However, I have noticed a lack of creativity within myself. I often find it challenging to start a new project due to overthinking and feeling unprepared, even when I know I am ready to begin.

As I mentioned in my introduction, we have access to an abundance of information at our fingertips. However, it’s effortless to get absorbed in video after video and feel burnt out eventually. This leads to a lack of motiva

Mammoth Cave National Park

Often, when I read about the best national parks in the United States, it is always the same two that are brought up: Yellowstone and Yosemite. While I have been to Yellowstone, it is as spectacular as many say. There are also so many parks that I only hear a few talk about. One of those is Mammoth Cave National Park.

Mammoth Cave was founded in 1941, while the actual discovery of the cave system dates back to the genuine discovery of the cave by the natives of the area. It’s a national park fu

Camping doesn’t have to be costly

You do not need fancy equipment to get started camping in the great outdoors!

My Fiancé and I are avid campers, seeing 7 of our nation’s national parks this year alone. And we did most of it out of a little Mazda 6 and a Canvas tent. In this article, I will show just how easy it is to start camping, even if you have 0 knowledge about camping. So let’s get started.

The first and most obvious need is a tent. We got lucky, and my parents gifted us a tent they were no longer using. But if you don’

Life is Strange

Life is strange.

As a young 23-year-old, life is an incredibly strange place. I am in that weird limbo period between feeling like an adult and like a child — dozens of aspirations and dreams, yet not knowing what steps to take to get there. Yet, most people never really figure out their true passions and make a life doing those things. That’s why there are so many miserable people in this world. Aspiring artists, authors, and cartoonists are all incredibly talented individuals, smothered by th

Being Creative in 2023 is Incredibly Difficult.

I remember when I was a kid, I was incredibly creative and had quite the imagination. I would get bored playing with my toys and decide to write a story or draw a picture. Creativity and imagery came to me so quickly back then. I didn’t have to light a candle, dim the lights, and play my favorite Lofi playlist on YouTube.

This thought got me thinking. What has happened? It isn’t just because I’ve gotten older; I’m seeing fewer and fewer kids find their inner creativity. As an educator, my mom c

Exercise cured my depression

I know that my title is bold, but I assure you everything I am about to speak on is how exercise has fundamentally changed the way I think and perceive the world. So I hope you’ll stick around and allow me to tell you my story of my 23 years on this earth.

Growing up I was always kind of the loner kid, never truly had a crowd of my own and just kind of jumped around clique to clique if you’d like to call it that. From the rednecks to the stoners to theatre kids, I never really settled into any
