Vocal... Your Purgatory is Killing Me!
I know that I'm not the only Vocal Creator that is feeling the pain. We pour our hearts and bare our souls in fabulous works of creativity. We read, edit, re-read, and once we are confident that the product of our genius is indeed perfection, we hit the 'Submit For Review' button.

Vocal Hides My Secrets
I find it kind of funny. It seems a bit contradictory. I'm here, writing on Vocal, hiding behind a pen name. I don't know how many of my subscribers even know my real name. One thing my readers DO know is the real, authentic, raw, and emotional me.

Thirteen Going on Six
I never got to experience the trepidation and excitement of waiting for lines to show up on a urine stick with her. I didn't go through all those months of carefully watching everything that went into my body to ensure her optimal growth and health. I didn't feel her very first flutters of movement, nor did I get to hold her close to my chest as she drew her first breaths. We were never truly 'one', but still, she is mine and I will love, nurture and defend her to my dying breath.

Writing Platforms Are Just Another Popularity Contest
Even though I first joined Vocal back in May, on a bit of a whim, thinking I'd prove to some friends that I'm not the incredibly talented writer that they seem to think I am, I've found myself on an interesting journey thus far. I seem to have fallen into some kind of rabbit hole and I don't know that there will be any turning back.

A Pandemic Thanksgiving - Afterthoughts
* Please note: This piece ended up being written over a few weeks. I've been to my doctor, and apparently, our province doesn't actually have a permanent medical exemption for the vaccination. I have valid health concerns, not just gleaned from all the hype. I could be granted a temporary exemption, but the hoops that I am expected to jump through to maintain that status place me at far greater risk of being exposed to Covid 19. Therefore, I will have to continue keeping myself segregated from mainstream society.
