My Writing Online Goals for April 2026
March has been one my best months so far in 2026! I was shocked with how many goals I hit this month, because it started off so slow, and it ended with a bang!

It is the same basic human drive that built trade routes across deserts and sent people up mountains for no commercially justifiable reason. Game designers figured out early that they did not need to manufacture this impulse; they just needed to create conditions where it could activate. That discovery quietly became the foundation of one of the most durable design principles in the medium.

What Good are Numbers?
The world revolves around numbers. The whole purpose of something so simple is to quantify progress, determine outcomes, and assign value to nearly every aspect of life. Without numbers, the world would lose every ounce of structure it ever had, therefore, numbers are important in every way possible. Numbers are treated as essential, reasonably so.

The Fire I Built After The Fireworks
I recognized him immediately, because I used to be the one looking at the sky instead of building a fire. Back then, I knew every kind of brightness except the one that lasts. I knew how to chase color, noise, applause, the sudden rush of being wanted somewhere, by someone, for something. I mastered the art of mistaking motion for life – of letting flashes of joy convince me that I was warm, charismatic, even while I was freezing underneath them.

Handling H-1B Wage Level RFEs and Questions About Entry Level Roles
Wage level Requests for Evidence are a common issue in H-1B cases, particularly when a position is filed under Level 1 wages. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services often examines whether an entry level role truly requires a bachelor’s degree and whether the wage offered reflects the responsibilities of the position. If these concerns are not addressed clearly, they can lead to RFEs or even denials.
