Content Creation Can Be Tricky! The goal is to attract consistent audiences and, simultaneously, not to “turn people off” by being too sales-oriented. Historically, it was easy to remember the Continue Reading →
“The stars do not apologize for shining unseen by day.
So too, the soul does not falter
because the world does not look its way.”

The difference between a memoir vs. autobiographies is that a memoir is a subset of an autobiography. Both a memoir and an autobiography tell the tale of a life, but an autobiography captures the whole story while a memoir describes a mere chapter. An autobiography walks the reader through a chronology of life, while a memoir moves back and forth through time as needed to illustrate the point. While an autobiography truly is a life story, a memoir can focus on certain aspects or time periods to tell a specific story. Continue Reading →
A “Graduation Speech” is not a topic I’ve ever spent time on. However, I thought it wise to learn a bit about it, since I help people compose a wide variety of speeches and presentations. Consequently, I was curious about what content I would get if I asked ChatGPT to create one for me to give. I did not ask AI for a speech about any particular idea. Instead, I asked it to provide the ideas. Thus, my only instructions were as follows: I’m giving a graduation speech to high school graduates in 2025. What are the top 3 points I should make and how should I phrase it in words they understand? Please create the speech for me. Continue Reading →

Published poems can be fanciful, ethereal, hard-hitting, profound, silly, and – sometimes – reflective how how we perceive “reality” in our lives or in the world….here are four poems, three of which were published in the 2024 Write by the Rails Anthology. The anthology theme was A Glint of Light. Continue Reading →
The author will express personal opinions in the piece and arm him or herself with evidence so that the reader will agree. The danger here is that people may use or “fall for” fallacies in logic. Continue Reading →

Start with the Big Stuff! Do your best to distance yourself from the content and to read the manuscript as if you were a stranger reading the material for the first time. Try not to judge it, but to see if it flows smoothly, makes logical transitions, and uses words that will be understood easily by your target audience.
You can make notes, if you need to, but don’t change anything the first time you do a read-through. Otherwise, you could change something in an early section that renders a later section incorrect, and illogical, making an outcome unlikely, irrelevant, or out of character. Continue Reading →

Rindgo – married to a pastor, was a deeply religious man who also was a gunrunner in the nation’s capital. The children loved him. What? I love storytelling – especially when the story is TRUE! This week, HAPPINESS was receiving a surprise email from a photojournalist who authored an article about my work with homeless people in 1991. Some of those folks were addicted to drugs and alcohol or had AIDS. Rindgo had the added disadvantage of being an amputee, the loss of his leg having resulted from diabetes. All these people became my friends as they faced many challenges with bravery and – as it turned out – with LOVE. Today’s Guest Contributor, Erika Langley, contacted me recently and sent me a copy of her article, featuring Rindgo. You can read it below; but, first, let’s learn about Erika. Continue Reading →
