The Benefits Of Reviving Your Old Stories On Vocal
Introduction This is just a short piece about the benefits of reviving old stories (if you consider five years old in my case). I do treasure most of my Vocal writing and am disappointed when the Vocal Story fails to load. While I have the original text, I can't always remember the videos, pictures, links and other ephemera that I included. Also, I don't want to recreate the stories in case Vocal do get their act together and restore the failing stories.

John and Paul's Three-Word Haiku/Senryu Unofficial Challenge - The Results!
Well, fuck. That was every bit as impressive as I was sure it would be when we set this devious challenge. From this point forward it is worth noting that all the bracketed bits will be John's words, and the non-bracketed are mine.

It’s a fact awards
Do you ever feel that non-fiction writers are the poor relations of the Vocal community. I do! Those nice people at Vocal Media heap much sought-after $200 prizes on poets and story smiths, left, right and center, while leaving us fact factors out in the cold.

100 Top Stories and Other Accidents
On March 9th, an entry I published for the "Everyone Is Acting Normally" Challenge, Silken Chains, was awarded a Top Story. I was delighted. For various reasons. It is one of my best-written stories, and it helped me achieve another Vocal milestone.

The Queen's Consort: Chapter 1. Content Warning.
1 Avelina I didn’t plan on being around so why would I want an immortal mate. Oh right. I didn’t. That would be why I never sent in a sample for this bullshit. Yet, here I was, staring at the Priestess, inside a Gods be damned temple.

From Starting Five Years Ago To Now, This Is How I Look At Vocal
Do you all remember when you started using Vocal? It was the new and shiny toy you needed at that perfect moment in time. You needed Vocal, and it needed you! Vocal sometimes doesn't feel like it needs you, but without the writers, the users of the platform, there was never going to be the launch pad that Vocal became for some. Some, made their biggest moves and became authors. Others threw in the towel and walked away, never to be seen or heard form again, because they couldn't see what was possible.

Difficulties Of Holidays On Vocal
Introduction Last week I had a wonderful week in Alnwick, but tried to keep up on Vocal, although my time was less than I normally have, plus a little more difficult because I was using a ten-year-old laptop with a faulty keyboard (the space bar does not always register, meaning I have to keep going back to separate words).
