An Extraordinary August
August has been a month like no other. So extraordinary I thought that I deserved it’s own Vocal post. August always tends to be an adventurous month. Two of my best friends have birthdays four days apart from each other, even though I haven’t got to see them yet I keep in touch with them which was nice. I don’t remember what I was up to on August 1st other than returning to work after Vegan Campout. Work is getting busier but I still enjoy the job. I’ve been there for over a year and I feel like my quality of life has improved as well as my salary. It just amazes me what a change of job can do for you.

Surviving
Nobody understands my depression. There are good days, but I don’t know where they have gone. Positive one day, negative another. Pillow corners wet through as my legs are red and sticky. I am too exhausted to move. I always act like I am okay, or at least try to. It never works. No one knows I lost it, not even him or the doctor. Best to keep it that way. I would have either been forced to terminate, give it away or we would all live in a cycle of pain.

St Fandom Academy Part 9
Severus Snape was a controversial science teacher. On one hand, people did learn a lot through Snape, but he was anything but approachable. Snape made it clear through his sneerful voice and creepy facade that he disliked the students just as much as they disliked him.

Judge Goldilocks & the Case of the Three Little Pigs
Judge Goldilocks had come far in adulthood. One would never believe that she used to break into houses and eat other people’s porridge. She had turned her life around and became a judge in the Fairy Tale Kingdom’s top court. The case of the three little pigs had been a case that had heavy publicity for months.

St Fandom Academy Part 8
Blackadder stared at the vacant students in front of him like cockroaches to crush. He had been warmed that Class D had been a particularly challenging class to teach. With the likes of Eric Cartman, Vicky Pollard and Ash Ketchum, Blackadder could see their point. But there were others that caught Blackadder's attention for the wrong reasons. Students like Wendy Testaburger, founder of the Vegan Poets Society reminded Blackadder of the woke activists that threw baked beans at his banks.

A Sapphic Story I wrote in 2008
Carol Patience sighed as her back was fixed against the purple sheets on the bed. The seventeen year old thought it was a very strange way to celebrate her birthday. Lying on her bed, semi naked whilst her girlfriend, was somewhere around the flat. Carol stood up and stared at herself at the rectangle shaped mirror on the wall. She certainly noticed that her changes from two years ago. Never would she have thought that she would have a girlfriend, around twice her age. Carol was fourteen when she first met Grace Butterfly, after being bit by a snake and found her self out of planet earth.

Debunking Writing Myths
All Writers Are Rich So it seems to be a universal belief that all traditional and bestselling authors are swimming in money and are as rich as the likes of Elon Musk, JK Rowling and The King. Some indie authors might be this rich too. The truth of the matter is that only only 1% of writers are truly rich. I am not in that 1% needless to say. I think this applies to the entire creative sector.

My Five Favourite Books
I am an avid reader. My Goodreads said I have read over a 1000 books but I feel like I have read way more. I feel like I own a lot more too. I have a mixture of traditional and indie published books. I have always loved reading. I love the power of words and how it can create new worlds and ideas. I love books so much I ended up writing many of my own.
