The Source: A Rediscovered Homeland (An unfinished short story)

This is a short story that I have been writing for a couple months, and I have hit writer's block. Ugh! I love to write, and I try to improve on it whenever I can. A lot of times I feel my sentence structure, punctuation and syntax need improvements. As always, I am open to constructive feedback about my posts on here; even so, if you have any ideas about how I can elaborate and edit this story. There are no true life experiences related to this, it's really just creative writing. Anyway, please enjoy! The Source: A Rediscovered Homeland”             Preface: It all started with a young man, Paolo, who carried a determination like no one else. First off, he would climb tall trees, heights longer than 20 feet, and he embraced the quirkiest of creatures like spiders, frogs, snakes, owls and much more.

There are so many ramblings that I can go into tangents about it, but overall, I think it can be fun to write, that’s if you have the passion for it. The passion of feeling like you soar when you start writing from beginning to end, which it is one that feel liberating and rewarding.               In my opinion, some people may think only profes...

A Leader? Hmm, Let Us Not Kid Ourselves

T antalizing fear. Inciting violence. Roughening up your colleagues. Does anyone notice a pattern that seems apparent here? These are just a few of the many troubling signs, upon observation, that illustrate terrifying signs from someone who claims to lead our already great, unified nation – prior to his “reign” in office. Yes, upon the surface, there are nicks, scratches and damages but to reinforce fear and unwanted bigotry and violence only exacerbates the growing problems by causes of his fault. Whenever he does the following: enhances fear, provokes violence toward us during rallies; distributes responsibilities among his administration; deflects accountability for his mistakes and miscalculations; manipulates our public and allies; and possesses inexperience and lacks reassurance, and denies constructive criticisms, it becomes clear that we are in danger. With his blatant lack of cognizance and lacks the willingness to work legitimately as the most chivalrous ...
