A Healthy Vermicompostor Doesn't Stink
I love my worm farm. That's probably weird, but I do love my worms. So making sure they are healthy is my number 1 priority. I have them on the back porch, up on a table to keep them away from the dogs, and any raccoons or opossums that might want to have themselves a wriggly snack.

Worm Farm Composting
*Knock Knock* Hello! My name is Hope, and I have come here to teach you about one of my passive incomes, worm composting. By farming worms, I not only am able to make a few spare dollars but also my own personal garden flourishes, so I am able to save money on food every year. Not to mention I save myself a stinky trash space by composting my cooking scraps. The pros are way worth the cons... and really the only con is that the fertilizer is smelly and worms can be a little icky.

Come to the Carnival with Me!
(So, I decided to ask my family what they would introduce to an alien first [because if I'm honest, an alient, no matter how friendly and unscary they are, would make me cry and run home in terror] and my fiancé said... "Hm. Something that is cultural, but something that displays joy and jubilance when people come together. Something like Rio's Carnival or a Japanese Festival! So here is my entry based off of my man's response.)

The Decision To Homeschool
So let's just be clear. I understand the hardship there is on teachers. I am a substitute for a public Pre-K. Meaning it's government funded, and there's a lot of stuff we have to do in order to stay licensed and blah blah blah. I understand that teachers of public school systems are underpaid, overworked, held to extreme standards, policies, and rules, and being a teacher is just flat out fucking stressful - no matter grade you teach.

The Elf and the Girl That Found a Halfing
It was a cold day in the Forgotten Realm when a priest from Neverwinter found a small Sun Elf girl covered in blood on the road near Neverwinter Wood. She was small, and couldn't have been more than a child, young for even a human's standards. She had golden eyes, and ebony hair, with sunkissed skin. The priest had heard about such elves, but none had been seen in a long time, not since the elven migration...

People have often wondered why I wake up so tired. How could bad dreams affect my life so much? Well... this is one of those 'bad dreams.' I dream in vivid colors.

Chapter 2 of Memoirs of the In-Between
When you’re alive, you have no idea what happens to you when you die. It was one of my many thoughts and regrets. I always wondered what happened to a person when they died. I sent so many people to their afterlives, that it seemed like a fair question. I had no idea what I believed, and to be frank I was scared to think too deeply about it. Only when my worst guilt, fresh after a job well done, did I dare to venture into that dark corner of my mind. I eventually convinced myself that nothing happened. There was no heaven, there were no gods, there was nothing but a deep dark sleep that you never wake up from.

My First Book Could Have Saved A Life
I found myself burnt out this morning when I went to write. I haven't written in days, and I know I need to keep it up or I'll lapse into another 5-month hiatus. And that can't happen because it'll prevent me from reaching my goals. So I stuck some music in my ears and contemplated why I'm feeling this way.
