   The Quiet Company Beneath the Sun — Edwards Gardens, September (Scholz) In the gentle radiance of the afternoon sun, the garden presented itself as a small parliament of blossoms, each taking its place with the quiet dignity of characters in some rural chapter of life. Foremost, and with no small measure of enthusiasm, stood the  marigolds —stout fellows dressed in coats of flaming orange, their ruffled collars trembling ever so slightly in the breeze, as though eager to speak but waiting for a proper invitation. Interspersed among them, like modest yet spirited companions, were the  globe amaranths , each bearing a tiny, purple bonnet perched atop a slender stem. They appeared as the cheerful children of the assembly, their bright heads bobbing with innocent curiosity. Behind these, forming a soft, chartreuse carpet, sprawled a bed of  sedum —a most industrious groundcover, glowing with the steady, dependable light of one accustomed to keeping order beneath ...

    Drawing of E. Scholz Learning to Publish My First Book: Notes from the Trenches I thought writing a book was the hard part. Turns out, that was just the beginning. What I’ve really been learning lately is how to  publish  a book—specifically, how to get something live on Amazon KDP. And honestly, it’s been a mix of Google searches, AI explanations, random forum advice, and a lot of “wait… what?” moments. This is a journal-style snapshot of what I’ve figured out so far. The First Realization: Writing Isn’t Publishing At first, I assumed: “I’ll just finish writing, upload it, and done.” Nope. A real book—even a simple one—needs: A title page A copyright page A table of contents Formatting for digital  and  print That was the first shift: A manuscript is not a book yet. ISBNs, Canada, and Feeling Official One surprisingly nice discovery: in Canada, ISBNs are free. You can get them through Library and Archives Canada, which instantly makes things feel more ...

  (A Fictionalized Pandemic Tale) Beaver on Bloor: When an Entire City Mistook a Squirrel for a National Icon The story you’re about to read is a fictionalized account based on real conversations, real Toronto energy, and one very real squirrel. The events are reimagined for humour, art, and the joy of urban folklore. During the long, drifting days of the pandemic — when time had the texture of cold oatmeal and the city seemed held together by takeout containers and Wi-Fi — Toronto developed a strangely wholesome urban legend. People kept seeing a beaver on Bloor Street. Or at least, they thought they did. It became one of those small, delightful distractions that cities cling to during collective stress: mysterious footprints, a blurry photo, hushed “I swear I just saw it” conversations. For over a year, reports trickled in. I joined the chase myself, wandering the stretch of Bloor with a camera, trying to catch a glimpse of this shaggy folk hero holding court between stor...
