Mike’s Favorite Stories on ILLUMINATION Publications — #5
Featuring some engaging stories that you may enjoy as well
Dear readers and writers, as mentioned in the first collection, I decided to write less but read and curate more to achieve more productive and fulfilling outcomes on this platform.
I have already created five collections with lists allowing me to find interesting stories. The links to older collections are at the end of this post.
I’m astounded by the galaxy of talent gravitating towards ILLUMINATION! If reading were an Olympic sport, I’d be training for a lifetime just to keep up with this warp-speed influx of stories.
Today, I have chosen some inspiring, informative, engaging, insightful, memorable, or heart-warming stories from ILLUMINATION publications.
Most of these beautiful pieces are buried under the dust, so I aim to bring them under the light with my humble efforts. I trust you’ll derive as much enjoyment from them as I did.
Should any of these stories resonate with you, I invite you to engage with them by leaving supportive comments, highlighting noteworthy sections, and offering a few claps to honor the efforts of these talented writers and inspire them. Your collaboration is greatly appreciated.
If you have time and are looking for more stories, you may also check the new collection created by ILLUMINATION-Curators, listed by Aiden (Illumination Gaming), and posted by ILLUMINATION editors.
I link the previous versions here for interested readers. Our volunteer editors spent significant time curating and compiling these collections.
Volume 1, Volume 2, Volume 3, Volume 4, Volume 5, Volume 6, Volume 7, Volume 8, Volume 9, Volume 10, Volume 11, Volume 12, Volume 13, Volume 14, Volume 15, Volume 16, Volume 17, Volume 18, Volume 19.
Today ILLUMINATION editors introduce three writers, Dr Emmanuel Ogamdi, Jozsef Kovacs and Davor Katusic. You may check out their profiles and explore their great stories. I will curate some stories from their writing soon.
Here is a list of my favorite stories from ILLUMINATION publications today
I recently learned to create a list from our good editor friend Aiden, so please share it on your social media to spread the word and love.
I start with my humble story, which might be an excellent resource for the aging population, as I found it very helpful in my senior years.
