Rethinking How I Look At Writing in the Age of AI

I won’t lie. I felt my confidence shake and a growing identity crisis burning in my heart as I read various articles about ChatGPT back in December. From speculation to observations, some of the messages that rocked me were how writing appears to become obsolete. Let me reframe: writing was being made more “efficient” withContinue reading “Rethinking How I Look At Writing in the Age of AI”

It’s Been A While. Again: Starting Over for 2023 a Month Early

It’s been a minute. Well, more like a couple of months. Okay, almost five months. It’s been a while. Over the past few months, I got caught up in a few things that seem to eat away any free time. I also found myself facing burnout with writing and burnout with everything in general. The placeContinue reading “It’s Been A While. Again: Starting Over for 2023 a Month Early”

Revisiting Photography, Side Hustles, and Resurrecting My Online Photography Shops

Last year, I bought myself a used DSLR camera. I had aspirations of learning photography and selling my photos as a side hustle. A year later, that camera mostly sat, and I became distracted with other things. That hasn’t stopped me from still taking photos. The only things I use consistently are is my phoneContinue reading “Revisiting Photography, Side Hustles, and Resurrecting My Online Photography Shops”

Learning Balance: Moving Edition

I’m hoping I am nearing the end of a month-long process of moving. I got the keys last month, but the process has been slow going. I thought it would be quick like 1-2-3, and then boom. Done. But this isn’t the case. Moving has become another exercise in life, and one which I’m strugglingContinue reading “Learning Balance: Moving Edition”

Making Time

I’m in the middle of moving. Next month, I’ll be doing the big move to my new home that is a bit closer to the coast and the beach. Not much but I’ve started calling it my own little beach house. But moving is stressful. The past couple of weeks have been fraught with anxietyContinue reading “Making Time”

My Goals For Writing in 2022.

I started last year with a resolution to grow my writing. This included growing my freelance writing efforts and trying to grow more profitable. I let it go most of last year until that summer where I managed to cobble together a website, applied to the Medium Partner Program, got over my fears, and createdContinue reading “My Goals For Writing in 2022.”

Thanksgiving Nostalgia

As I grew older, I’ve been feeling myself become more nostalgic. I don’t yearn for memories or really good food or falling asleep at the dinner table (which has happened to me before). Instead, I grow nostalgic about the memories of my family and those simpler times. I know, it’s silly. As I kid, IContinue reading “Thanksgiving Nostalgia”

The First Time I Felt Like a Writer

I always try to write for myself. The first was a short story. I was 11 years old and did it spur of the moment. After that, I got the bug. I continued to write for the next six years. During that time, I didn’t feel like an artist. I kept my writing to myself.Continue reading “The First Time I Felt Like a Writer”

Part 1: Is There Any Value in an eReader?

Part one of a three-part series. I think got my first eReader sometime in 2007 or 2008 while I was in college. I got it as a Christmas gift from my mom. It was white. You know, that gray-white that electronics at that era were. It reminded me of a Hewitt-Packer, was it was justContinue reading “Part 1: Is There Any Value in an eReader?”
