Drinking cold water from the ice chest in the late spring? . Content Warning.
A glass of cold water gives help in outrageous intensity. Many likewise hydrate for additional alleviation. Notwithstanding, specialists are seeing more mischief to the body than benefits.

Scripting Utopia. Top Story - June 2024.
I began writing this article today and instead ended up with this one below (which I had to then rename!). I often get lost on a tangent from where I begin because I realise I need to give context - otherwise I fear ending up trying to explain a book worthy concept in the comments section 😅

Delicious Nightmares. Top Story - May 2024.
There is nothing novel in the observation that a good cinema experience is akin to a waking dream. We sit in darkness and become enveloped in a world of images that we piece together to form a narrative. Sometimes the images overpower us and we struggle with the paralysis of a nightmare. And then the lights come back up and we take a breath to remember it was not real, we were not in that car crash, we were not in a fight, we were not a lover being romanced. And we need a moment between the last credit and the real world to gather our thoughts to find meaning in what we have seen.

The Weight of Worry
As I sat in my small apartment, surrounded by the familiar comforts of home, my mind wandered to the unknown future. It was a habit I had developed over the past few years, ever since my mother's passing. She had always been my rock, my confidante, my guiding light. And now, without her, I felt lost and alone.

Satironic Meta Magical Realism
Narrator's preface: The writer who is the protagonist of the below story includes an author's preface in many of his written works. Generally these are full of psuedo intellectual clap trap that sounds intelligent at first blush, but upon closer inspection is actually nonsense. He was not available to provide an author's preface in this case telling me that he was busy "inventing a brand new genre of writing" which he had dubbed satironic meta magical realism. And there you have it, a perfect example of what I meant with that intelligent nonsense comment. Apparently he was doing this in order that he might produce a story he could enter in a writing contest for some two bit website nobody has ever heard of much less cares about. I told him good luck and offered to dream something up to cover his author's preface for this "story." His fan base which consists primarily of persons recently released from or soon to be committed to a mental institution, prisoners, hobos and homeless vagabounds get very agitated when he fails to include an author's preface in any given story he writes. Of course they also get agitated by anything anyone else considers normal. Ah well. Enjoy the below, or don't, it's no skin off my back either way.

Challenging Myself To Challenges
The empty page. The blinking insertion point. The pure, brilliant white void that stares deep into your soul, beckoning for your call. The sheer scope of possibilities, formats and genres can overload the brain until it implodes and is left as empty as the paper in front of you. Writers block can become, if you allow it, an insurmountable obstacle if not broken down.

Unloved stories
Posting this in response to the wonderful Paul Stewart's fabulous Be Your Own Advocate challenge. I thought it would be easier to explain my choices in a separate story space, rather than to cram my blathering into a comment on Paul's story. Anyways, here is a link to the challenge:
