      <image:title>About</image:title>
      <image:caption>Aneesh Shukla As a writer, I subscribe to Stephen King’s assertion that art is a support system for life. Now, knowing that writing is not known to be a particularly lucrative profession (generally speaking), he must be referring to how writing enhances life with joy, creativity, spirit, and passion. I have been writing for over a decade and I know only one thing with absolute certainty and that is that I was born to be a writer. After taking a creative writing class in high school and further pursuing creative classes in college, I began to find my voice as a writer. Over the course of many different shifts and life changes, though, that voice has evolved and shaped itself in a plethora of ways. Studying abroad, graduate studies, living in tapovan-style institution of philosophy in India, working as a high school English teacher in a neighborhood school in Chicago – all of these experiences amalgamate into my identity as a writer. I bring different stories, virtues, styles, cultures, and memories with me and they bleed through into my writing. As I take my first steps into my new career as a full-time writer, I realize that art is a support system for life in more than just a lofty, inspirational way. As a storyteller, I work hard and spend a lot of time each day crafting short stories and poetry – and I am also working on a fantasy novel at the moment that I hope to finish by the end of the year. In addition, I have started moving into the freelance writing world – I write articles for Game Rant as well as for IAPWE when I can and I am always looking to increase my opportunities to write as much as possible. Working from home and being a full-time writer allows me to be prolific and spend my time solely on writing – which is a luxury that I am truly humbled and grateful to have.

      <image:title>Published Work - It’s all about perspective.</image:title>
      <image:caption>A seemingly straightforward phenomenon - a sunset. No matter how you spin it, functionally and in definition, it is always the same thing. However, it can mean something entirely unique for each individual person. And so, in Sunsets, we give you four poems, each with a uniquely distinct conceptualization of the titular idea.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Published Work - The most important thing in the world.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Once again, storytelling finds itself face-to-face with one of its most loyal companions - love. Here, we present three unique love stories, each with its own flare. Some love stories burn like meteors - raging and forceful. Others, burn like patient candles - calming and gentle. There is pain, elation, worry, fear, joy, laughter, hurt and sorry. But, in the words of Ted Mosby - love is the best thing we do.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Published Work - Tell your story.</image:title>
      <image:caption>A collection of poems, both newer and older, that together make up my way of telling stories. Stories are wonderful insights into people, places, and things that we see regularly. Stories define us and our experience here. Stories, ultimately, are what we leave behind. So, it would be a waste not to tell as many as we possibly can.</image:caption>
