Touching
These are some words about how my Muse looks out for me and I for her The song is "The Pie" by The Sutherland Brothers, some beautiful sentiments though I will never break her heart and she will treasure mine.

The Power Of Words
Introduction I am always shocked at the effect that words can have on people. Often my words affect people and I see how others can affect and even control people with their words, sometimes for good and sometimes for bad things.

Keeping Things Flat
Introduction This is very unusual for me, I don't share my workplace anywhere on Social Media apart from the odd interesting office photograph.

Thank You For Your Six Tenths Of A Cent
Introduction I am not exactly sure which way this will go apart from that it will be totally positive, about my audience, friends, and Vocal (that might surprise you, but Vocal does deserve a lot of praise).

A Veäry Tale
Introduction I am still reading "Orlam" by Polly Jean Harvey and each page in the book is set out in English, then her Dorset dialect. At the end of the book is a glossary of words used in the book and I have to thank Judey Kalchik for providing this link for me to use:

I Confess
Introduction I am listed as a Top Creator in the Vocal Confessions and Beat communities, I have lost count of the number of Top Stories I have received, and I even placed in a Vocal Challenge, but I still don't believe that Vocal themselves consider me a serious creator. That is completely at odds with my Vocal friends and audience.

My Love
Introduction Inspired by two words that were spoken to me. I was going to to choose the Paul McCartney song but this John Lennon song is far better.

Pigs
Introduction I am not sure what inspired this, but there are more than a few good songs about pigs. As a teenager, I worked on a farm and thought it was quite funny when the piglets tried to eat my toes through my wellies and we all love the film Babe, don't we?

Milestones
Introduction This is just something that makes me happy to see on Vocal and I love seeing people hit milestones. I have sometimes been criticized in the past for sharing mine but that doesn't bother me as I have a major one coming up that I may or may not share, but I am so glad to see others hitting and surpassing those milestones, often unexpectedly.

You Never Noticed
A tongue-in-cheek piece about being unappreciated by employers. How many times have I handed in my notice and suddenly become an irreplaceable member of staff? It is quite amusing

Analog And Digital
Introduction I've been seeing the Marc Jacobs advert for "Daisy" or something, and the soundtrack uses "Cheree" from the debut album by the band Suicide's debut album from 1977.

Reading Orlam
Introduction For my birthday I got the Polly Jean Harvey book "Orlam". I was a little confused about it at first, but now it has revealed itself to me and I am enjoying exploring the worlds and magical mythical creatures and people that are described here.
