Advice
They Lied
I have been going back and forward on where to start this and how to start it, it seems to be my biggest challenge when telling a story. Stories have to have a beginning, middle and end but my stories never do. It’s more like they latch on to part of me and Im actually never sure when it began or even if it ends. They follow me.

I Had 2 Hours a Week to Write. Here's How I Still Showed Up Daily.
Two hours a week. That's all I had when I was working full-time and trying to build a writing practice on the side. Maybe 15–20 minutes a day if I were lucky. Some days, all I had was literally five minutes before I had to leave for work.

Top Skills to Learn for Future Jobs in the Age of Artificial Intelligence. AI-Generated.
In the last few years, I’ve watched the world of work evolve faster than ever before. Artificial intelligence (AI) isn’t just a buzzword anymore—it’s a force reshaping industries, job roles, and the very skills that employers value. I remember reading about AI-powered systems taking over repetitive tasks in offices, factories, and even creative fields, and it made me wonder: what skills should I focus on to stay relevant in this AI-driven future? After diving deep into research and talking to experts, I’ve realized that the key isn’t to compete with AI, but to learn to work alongside it.

My Aversion To Poetry
Introduction This is just the devil in me that I have written about so often when it has got me down and upset, but writing this piece I feel in a good mood and on top of things, because where I used to think I was being forced into something, now I feel it is entirely my own choice and in my own hands.

I Couldn't Write for 3 Weeks. Here's The One Thing That Got Me Unstuck.
Three weeks. Twenty-one days of staring at a blank screen. Of opening my laptop with good intentions and closing it an hour later with nothing written. Of telling myself "tomorrow will be different" and having tomorrow be exactly the same.

Writing About Writing: The Rainbow Trap. Top Story - February 2026.
The good thing about living in modern times is that LGBTQ representation in media is increasing. Not just in niche and Independant media, either, but also in mainstream media. Books, movies, TV shows, comics... they're finally catching on that LGBTQ+ people form a significant part of their audience, and deserve to see themselves on screen and in fiction, not just as victims in documentaries and true crime shows.

Why Writing in Public Feels Like You’re Faking It (And Why You Should Do It Anyway)
I published an article yesterday about building a writing habit. I wrote it like I have this all figured out, like I'm some authority on consistency, showing up, and doing the work.

QLD Contract Conditions (Plain English). Content Warning. AI-Generated.
Buying or selling a place should be exciting, right? New chapter. Fresh start. Maybe a bit of reno daydreaming. Then the contract lands in the inbox and suddenly it’s… clauses, dates, “subject to”, and a bunch of deadlines that feel like they were invented purely to cause stress.

Tarot Cards Meaning: Understanding What Each Card Really Tells You. AI-Generated.
You know that feeling when you choose a tarot card and discover its meaning for the first time? It’s weird. Your hand just sort of… knows which card to pick. I’ve watched people do this hundreds of times and it still gives me chills. There’s something about the way someone’s fingers hover over the cards, hesitate, then land on one specific card that feels anything but random. Tarot gets a bad rap as some kind of carnival fortune-telling gimmick, which honestly bugs me because it’s so much more useful than that. Think of it more like a visual therapy session or a conversation with the wiser part of yourself that you usually ignore because you’re too busy scrolling Instagram. That’s also why so many people prefer to choose a tarot card and discover its meaning intuitively instead of memorizing rigid definitions. The deck has 78 cards, and each one is basically holding up a mirror to something happening in your life right now. Some of these cards have been around since the 1400s which is a long time for something to survive if it didn’t work on some level. When you start learning what the cards actually mean beyond the spooky stereotypes, you’re picking up a whole language. Not one you speak out loud, but one your mind understands through images and symbols. It doesn’t matter if you bought your first deck last week or if you’ve been shuffling cards for years getting a real handle on tarot cards meaning makes everything feel clearer. Life’s confusing enough without trying to figure it out blindfolded.
