“Hey — I built a short online course, and I’m letting friends and family try it free before I open it to the public. I want honest feedback on clarity, pacing, and whether it fairly represents the opposing view. Can you spend 45 minutes this week, complete Module 1, and fill out a 5-minute feedback form? If you think something is weak or confusing, tell me. That helps. “Beta Tester Checklist” After Module 1, please send me: Where did you get confused (lesson name or timestamp)? What felt strongest, and why? What felt weakest or overstated, and why? Did the course represent the opposing view fairly (yes/no + example)? What should be shortened, removed, or rewritten? Would you recommend it to a friend (yes/no + why)? charles-mason-s-school1… https://charles-mason-s-school1.teachable.com/courses/enrolled/2938049

This is slightly based on true story. Just a girl navigating her way through high school friends, love interests, enemies,etc.

In this chapter of a Lunatic Moon, a fellow student from Danny's high school is murdered while arriving home from her late-night shift at the donut shop. It wasn't an accident. There is no doubt about that. However, many other questions are raised. Why did Julie have to die, and who did it? Danny is suspicious, frightened and confused. The Police are just as confused as he.

The case of the Central Park Five, now known as the Exonerated Five, exposes deep flaws in the U.S. criminal justice system, particularly racial prejudice, media bias, and coerced confessions. Influential figures such as Donald Trump further inflamed public outrage by calling for the death penalty, contributing to threats and hostility toward the teenagers and their families. Each of the five spent between 6 and 13 years in prison, losing their childhoods and suffering lasting emotional, mental, and social harm.

We can say we know . We can learn but never experience . We can try to understand . We will always want to know . We will never know anything . It will never be obvious . It will seem we understand . It will seem we can get there . We cannot get there . If we devoted all of our lives . It will never work out . The world doesn't allow us to know .

This article is a deep dive into the psychology, strategy, and artistry of emotional design - not just visually, but narratively, structurally, and experientially. It’s for writers, creatives, designers, and entrepreneurs who want their work to matter, who want to engage more than attention.

This article reframes structure as creative support rather than restriction. You’ll learn how to treat your novel like a designed system, one that holds emotion, tension, pacing, and meaning without suffocating your voice.

This article is about shifting from book-thinking to career-thinking. It’s about building a creative life that lasts; one where your writing evolves, your voice deepens, and your identity as a writer remains intact even when the industry is uncertain.

This article explores how to harness storytelling as a tool for clarity, direction, and coherence across mediums. Because when your work has a narrative at its core, everything you make connects, both internally and with the people meant to receive it.

This article proposes a reframing: writer’s block is not the absence of creativity, it is communication. It is the story pushing back. It is your mind, body, or inner compass signaling that something is misaligned, unfinished, misunderstood, or unsustainable.

This article reframes revision not as drudgery, but as discovery. As the stage where a story finds its true shape, voice, and power.

To be vulnerable on the page, while Black, is not simply to reveal emotion. It is to risk being misunderstood, flattened, or consumed by an audience that has often demanded strength without softness, resilience without rest, and stories without interiority.

In creative work, whether writing a novel, designing a brand, or crafting a business strategy - mystery is a tool. Not the kind of mystery that confuses or frustrates, but the kind that invites engagement, sparks imagination, and keeps people invested.

To turn ideas into impact is to design a pathway between vision and results. It’s the bridge between dreaming and doing and it’s a learnable skill.

We keep returning to the stories that break us. We seek them, cherish them, and carry their fragments with us. We allow them to crack open our hearts and, in that opening, to teach us what it means to feel, to endure, and to remember.

You’ll stumble. You’ll grow. You’ll overuse commas and underuse rest days. But in between all that chaos, you’ll make something real.

As writers, it’s not our job to escape nostalgia. It’s our job to have a conversation with it. To ask: what does this story mean now?

Learn how to craft killers that haunt. No monsters, no rivers of blood. Just psychology, suspense, implication, and tone. Think of it as true crime on steroids.

The art of rambling is this: turning detours into destinations. And if you can master that? Your story will never just be read. It will be lived.
