Japan: An Intercultural Experience
By Kacie Fowler This was an APA-style assignment from my Communications 101 class and also a bit about my trip to Japan (that came at the perfect time if we are honest). The assignment asked that we describe an encounter we had with a person and/or group from a culture that we are not from,…

April Fools
Of course my second-first day of college would fall on April Fools, a holiday rooted in hoaxes and pranks. Being able to shift my career path and go to a “real” school (sorry Penn Foster) is a privilege I do not take for granted, but the imposter syndrome is already rearing its nasty face. What…

Short Story
Prompt: Author writes his own murder before it happens. “Yah, yah, yah.” I drawl to my editor who has been hounding me all month about my new project. He’s been practically down on his knees, begging for even just a chapter to show the publishing team. “I’ll send it to you when its ready, John.”…

Prompt: It Was A Dark and Stormy Night
Another rendition of the stories we wrote in my high school creative writing class. I think this may have been one of my favorites. The prompt, “It Was A Dark and Stormy Night…” was set upon us on Halloween in 2013. We had just finished up our study of Edgar Allen Poe and we were…

Commitment Issues With Books
Only once have I ever not finished a book I was reading with no intention of ever picking it back up. However, I have abandoned a few for years. The book in question, was a book a friend of mine’s dad had written. He was self-published and had under 30 sales in a few years.…

Vegan Piroshkis
Not going to add a bunch of bullshit about family traditions and whatever else other people put in their recipe posts that no one reads. If they did read it, why is there a ‘jump to recipe’ button? The only thing I will say prior, is that I could not find many recipes for vegan…

Quarter-Life Crisis?
Do you ever wonder about life like Carrie Bradshaw, dream to look like Mortitia Addams, fear like Stephen King, and love like Jane Austin? What happens when all of the aspects of your life collide and clash like a fatal land slide? Akin to most people with ADD, the endless hobby hopping is one thing,…

How 5.5” Ruined My Day
The fact that this is the first post since the D-Day post, should say something. We are on month four since he departed the country and the first mental break has hit. It is always the smallest things that breaks the damn holding back the big. Home projects are one of the ways I have…

The Day Has Come…
Today, I dropped the husband off at the airport to go to Japan for the next two years. Our whole move from Florida to Washington was in preparation for this day, but now that it is here, I feel like I cannot grasp it fully. It’s a weird thing to be a military spouse. I…
