About Write and Rise with Shay

Stories have shaped humanity since the beginning of civilization.

From the earliest Sumerian myths carved into clay tablets to the stories we tell ourselves every day, narrative has always been one of the most powerful forces in our lives. It preserves history, passes down wisdom, inspires imagination, and helps us understand who we are.

Write and Rise with Shay was created from a love of writing, mythology, history, and personal reflection.

Here you'll find a growing collection of articles exploring ancient civilizations—particularly Sumerian mythology—alongside journals, guided writing resources, and tools designed to help you think more deeply about yourself and the world around you.

Whether you're fascinated by Enheduanna's poetry, the mysteries of Inanna and Ereshkigal, searching for meaningful writing prompts, or simply looking for a place that celebrates curiosity and creativity, you're in the right place.

Writing isn't just about creating stories.

It's about discovering them.

The stories of the past.
The stories we inherit.
And the stories we choose to write next.
