Happy New Year!
With the Lord looking after me this new year starting today will be a good one and wishing the same for all. What does a new year mean? A new year is a chance to learn and grow for me. One project that I forgot on the previous drabble I wrote is one that requires me to review an old skill I learned years ago for I am planning on re-writing some classic novels in shorthand. Also, a new year will allow me to begin to understand more about new subjects that seem to be coming about around me now.

Another Year
With the Lord's help here are my plans for 2025. The first is to continue writing here on Vocal for I really like the people I met on this site, and the drabbles entitled 'The Mission' I am thinking about putting them together in a eBook and publishing it on BN.com along with a few other book projects that I was working on during Christmas. Planning on once again working as a transcriptionist and writing articles and educational materials for another online site. I am also going to try to critique some short stories from some old textbooks I have.

The alienation of Northeast Indians is a pressing issue that demands urgent attention and introspection. Despite being an integral part of India, the Northeast region and its people frequently encounter discrimination, stereotyping, and neglect. This blog is dedicated to my Northeast friends, some of the most remarkable individuals I've had the privilege of studying and working with.

A Christmas Wish Under the Desert Stars
The desert seemed endless, its golden dunes glowing with the sunset's last rays. As the night drew in, a sea of stars twinkled overhead, and their light reflected on the sand in a way that seemed to make the whole scene magical. For Amira, this was home, but tonight, it felt different. It was Christmas Eve, a holiday not usually commemorated in her small desert village, hidden away deep within the Sahara. Yet, something inside of her stirred-a wish she carried deep within her heart.

McKenzie: a novel and incantation
At night, Paulina’s ghost came and sat a while, chin on her rough linen dress, on the floor of the theater. She watched as the wooden framework of the set grew up around her, until one Tuesday night the actors would take the stage for rehearsals, when the world of the play would blossom and she could live among men for a time.
