So let me hear you out, you want to be a writer? Cool, we could possibly be tribe! I’m talking howling at the moon, libations, and an intrinsic understanding. Soon, the reveries will begin! But before we become full on blood brothers and sisters and drink from the same glass, I have a few questions for you. First of all, why do you want to write? Feels basic enough but sometimes the simplest of questions can have a puzzle box of answers. The reason I write is because I really don’t have a choice.

|
By Heather Drain, Mondo Heather
| Diabolique Magazine
Social media is a vessel of communication that is often both a blessing and a curse. It’s all in the motion of the virtual ocean and if a positive connection with our fellow humans is the vibrant sea life that thrives and spawns, then creatures like hot takes and clickbait are the Coney Island Whitefish washing upon the shore.

Serendipity. It’s defined by Merriam-Webster as, “the faculty or phenomenon of finding valuable or agreeable things not sought for.” It’s also a force that takes you through an unexpected back road that leads to some of the best and most unforgettable paths. There is nothing that could better describe how the band Strange Advance come upon my own battered and thirsty shores.

MotorWay City Midways, Middle Fingers, & Mayhem: Creem-Rock & Roll's Only Magazine

Capturing lightning in a bottle is not half as hard as folks make it out to be. You just have to find the right combination of brains, vision, full hearts, piss with the vinegar, money, stimulants of all sorts of variety, testicular AND ovular fortitude, and a way with words that makes the eyes stop, pop, and simmer!
