50,000 Words ChallengeTop Story - November 2023
Guess what? I finished that "50,000 words writing challenge" thing a couple days ago! First though - I'm not calling it NaNoWriMo anymore for a reason. Some serious allegations against that organization have been circulating in the past week or so and I'd rather not be promoting them anymore. At least not until after they actually tell us what happened, address their problems, and fix their issues. Maybe then. We'll see.

This is my first time trying it and I'm having so much fun!

Taking her place in line behind an elderly man with a soggy newspaper, she inhales greedily of the familiar air infused with hints of freshly ground coffee and notes of burnt everything bagels.

How to Respond to Comments on Vocal
In this how-to article, I am going to teach you my tried and true method for responding to comments here on Vocal. You can use this on your own Vocal stories and maybe even in your responses to comments on other stories. Rest assured, it is quite easy although it can feel a tiny bit intimidating at first!

Zucchini and Red Onion PastaTop Story - September 2023
Hi friends! Did you know that I have a recipe blog? JK! I don't... I don't even have a lot of recipes hanging out in my brain. I am always embarrassed to admit and slightly infamous for never actually having a recipe to give anyone who asks!
