Here’s what I got up to for the month of March 2022.
Vampire Folklore — Series
I started and finished my vampire folklore series of articles. I wrote these back in the early 2000s in University after writing a paper on the myth and symbolism of the vampire for a sociology class, and then I ended up writing paid articles for a vampire community for a while (kind of a bizarre niche I fell into, especially for someone who has never been a ‘goth’!).
The Truth About (Vampire) Bats
The Truth About Vampire Hunters — Reality or Television Hype?
The Truth About Awakening vs. Turning
The Truth About Medical Vampirism
The Truth About The MacKenzie Poltergeist
The Truth About Real Vs. Fictional Vampires
Resurrecting the Vampire Throughout History
The ‘Future Of’ — Series
I also started a ‘future of’ series where I’m writing on a variety of different topics and looking into and researching the ‘future of’ stuff. So far I’ve written 7 pieces but I’m planning on writing more. If you have any suggestions of topic ideas, please let me know!

Mental Health
I wrote a lot about mental health this month, including about getting my first troll in ‘How Hurtful Words Can Affect Your Mental Health’

Poetry
For poetry I have 4 pieces from the ‘Dawn’ part of my collection of poetry — which are lighter pieces about nature. We haven’t got to the ‘Dusk’ poems yet which are a lot darker and about human nature.
Random Non-Fiction
I also wrote a bunch of random non-fiction subjects, including a few about writing and about being finally curated for the first time (in ‘who knew writing about dogs was the way forward!’)

Fiction
There wasn’t much fiction short stories this month, only two pieces but How You See The World is a bit of a longer fantasy short story.
And that’s all for this update! Hope you enjoyed it and maybe you found something that you haven’t read yet! Please let me know what you read and what you thought of it! Thanks for reading and until next time, be well!
