Narik Chase – St. Patrick’s Day 2026

 Happy St. Patrick’s Day.

St. Patrick’s Day is often associated with celebration, but it also carries deep roots in storytelling, folklore, and cultural tradition. Myths, legends, and oral storytelling have always been central to how communities preserve identity and pass down meaning through generations.

As a writer, folklore is one of the richest sources of inspiration. It blends history with imagination, truth with interpretation, and reality with myth—often leaving just enough mystery to keep the story alive long after it’s told.

That balance is something I think about often in fiction: how stories evolve when they are retold, reshaped, and reinterpreted over time.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support my writing and creative work.

Have a safe and Happy St. Patrick’s Day.

Narik Chase – Presidents’ Day 2026

 Happy Presidents’ Day.

Presidents’ Day often brings attention to leadership and legacy—how decisions made in positions of authority can shape history far beyond a single moment in time. It is also a reminder that leadership is rarely simple. It involves pressure, contradiction, and consequences that are not always visible in the moment.

In storytelling, leadership is a recurring theme. Characters in positions of authority are often tested not by power itself, but by the weight of responsibility and the outcomes of their decisions. That tension is what makes many political, historical, and even fictional narratives compelling.

As a writer, I find those dynamics especially interesting—the gap between intention and impact, and how history judges both.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support my writing and creative work.

Have a safe and thoughtful Presidents’ Day.
