Outline
Unfinished
I started dreaming of stories from a very young age. For truth I can not tell you what the first story was that started to come together. I do know that i have story notebooks that look like some lost ancient Tomes now. And a memory of a detective that waits to be finished. A lot of the stories I go back to and rework even now. I find that these are the ones people seem to be drawn to. These are also the ones that have marinated and been worked on and reworked on. Out of all of them the one that has been done and redone and relooked at over and over is Heroes? A story where heroes start to appear in a modern world and what happens because of it.

Transportation Mistakes Large Groups Should Avoid . AI-Generated.
Planning a trip or event for a large group is already a lot of work. The venue, the schedule, the food - there's plenty to think about. But one thing that gets underestimated more than almost anything else is transportation.

Just Another Monstrous Woman . Runner-Up in Not Quite There Yet Challenge. Top Story - June 2026.
I started this short story a year ago. For a different challenge. And was inspired by the story of Medea. And there really wasn’t anything wrong with it, I really loved writing it until I started to second guess myself. I’ve included what I had written below, as well as my thoughts about why it never fully got finished.

So Far Yet So
I’ve been trying to write a fanfic for the past few weeks now. It’s something that I’ve had an interest in since watching Walker 2021. My brain doesn’t want to let it go despite everything else that I’ve written. Here’s an excerpt of what I’ve written so far. It’s not much. But I absolutely love it despite it not being a lot.

My Vocal Drafts Folder
Looking through my drafts on Vocal is always an interesting process. I've been on this site for a good few years now, and I'm glad to say that the ratio between finished and unfinished stories is pretty good. With that said, there are still plenty of unfinished stories in my draft folder.

The Dream Dasher/The Writer's Commandments
I started writing this novel the weekend after my 20th Birthday. My twin had passed away 3 months earlier, and I had laughed for the first time since the day before, when Mum, on the phone to a family friend who had a history of accidentally spilling secrets, accidentally blurted out the destination of my birthday trip.

Authorship vs Refinement
Much of the confusion surrounding artificial intelligence and writing comes from a failure to distinguish between two fundamentally different acts: originating ideas and refining their expression. These acts are often treated as interchangeable, as though whoever touches the final form must also be the source of the thought itself. That assumption does not reflect how writing has ever worked, nor does it reflect how human thinking actually unfolds.
