What Does the Future Look Like in Ten Years?

Tech will rule nearly everyone all the time. Ten years isn’t a very long period of time, yet with online technology exponentially growing, it is a long time for things to change. Already, look at what we’ve seen change since the smartphones came out in 2010! In just 16 years, our country doesn’t even resemble itself from before. This is the period of time when the Z generation came of age as well, around 2020, which also has changed things drastically. In ten years (2036), the Alpha generation will be 11-26 years old, therefor coming of age. This will change things drastically again, as this generation is the first to never know a world without a smartphone. The online world, smartphones, and smart tech, is ruining people’s character. Social media, social engineering, is ruining people’s values. The younger generations mostly have bad characters and will only get worse as technology becomes even more prevalent (the destruction of the Biblical family by feminism is key for this to happe...

Writing articles on LinkedIn vs. Medium

For those of us who believe our writing is a reflection of our values and a unique expression of our souls, finding the right platform to write on is important. Of course, there are practical aspects we must consider as well, depending on the purpose and reason for the words, etc. In this respect, I want to explore the idea of writing on LinkedIn vs. Medium. For non-robot people who actually take the time to write from their hearts instead of using AI to create some “content.” AI writers may create content, but they are not writers; they are just using words (however manifested) to essentially get attention and make money. Medium is a very clean and user friendly platform for writers, and the possibility of making money there with their partner program sounds great, especially, considering the popularity of the site. Yet, I’ve found through much effort, Medium is simply an illusion for 99% of the writers that find their way there, paying their monthly dues. See, you have to now pay Med...

What Happens to the Writer's Brain

Too many ideas and voices. It’s been around 40 days since I published an article, and I wanted to explain what happens in the writer’s brain. Essentially, I have too many ideas for articles to write and this causes my brain to meltdown and write nothing. While these ideas are flowing through the brain, life is happening; appliances need replacing, cars need repair, family trips, people passing away, bills getting lost in the mail, and other life happenings like work and chores. In between all of this, these ideas sometimes don’t find place to be expressed in the short time frame I have to share them. The exercise becomes too difficult, the writing takes a back seat to just relaxing and doing productive things around the homestead. Still, the writing brain is getting backed up with all of these ideas, and it begins to distrust they will ever see the light of day by being expressed and published. The hope of finding a fluid streamlined workflow for these ideas to be published diminishes ...

Writing organization and the long road home

Writing about writing is like a maze within the Squidoo. Once upon a time... Way back in the winter of 2013, I started the journey of writing online; this seems like yesterday, yet that was 13 years ago nearly. Interestingly, I started out as a citizen journalist on an up and coming revenue sharing platform called All Voices. That included me of course, yet there wasn’t much revenue sharing coming my way. Maybe, I earned around .50 cents, never reaching the payment threshold. I soon realized after many afternoons of mowing lawns for my small lawn care business, that my hopes and dreams probably wouldn’t be realized through this particular platform. I didn’t stop there though. Proceeding on, in an online world without the Z Generation magnification that came later around 2020, I found Squidoo and HubPages. I proceeded to write heartfelt pieces that helped me realize my writing acumen was lacking something fierce (even worse than now). Still, I carried on. The next stage of development I...
