Some Of My Most Read Vocal Stories Have Very Few Vocal Hearts

Introduction.

I thought I would just list some of my Vocal creations that have a lot of reads but do not seem to have to been read by many Vocal Creators. This is not a whine but just something I have noticed (I do get a lot of Vocal reads and writes) and if you read this you may see something of mine that you missed.

Obviously, if you don't read this you won't see something that you might have missed.

My top three stories have twenty-three Vocal hearts between them.

My Top Three

This was an experiment in clickbait that actually worked, but I don't know how. It is still my most-read piece.

This was a surprise as it was about an excellent autism focussed episode of "The Cleaner" by Greg Davies with Robbie Curran. I did hope it would become my most-read piece because I am not particularly proud of my most-read piece but that is life.

I don't know where the reads for this came from but it does get one or two new reads each week but that's not enough for it to become my number one.

This one is still getting reads from somewhere, closing in on four hundred and it has not yet stagnated. I think the artwork in here is stunning, but again I do not know who is reading this, but they are not Vocal readers.

My alternate Kate Bush piece is another playlist that only got three Vocal Hearts but a lot of reads from other sources, which I think are various Facebook Music groups.

The thing is that this shows you can generate a small income on Vocal without getting much input from the Vocal community. I don't read every Vocal story that I see and I know my close friends don't read every story that I publish and I would not expect them to. We only have so much free time and it's a bit like going to a restaurant where you miss out on a meal that you would like to try because you order, once again, your favourite meal. Though the thing is, with Vocal Stories is that if you have the time and inclination you can read one after another without getting full, so to speak.

The amazing surreal art of Martin Muller as Neon Park that adorned the covers of many Little Feat albums as well as some Frank Zappa ones. Again a hundred reads against four Vocal Hearts. I know that these articles are interesting to many people but not the Vocal Cognoscenti, but I do have the benefit of the external reads that I have got to back up my confidence in my writing.

Michael Moorcock is a favourite fantasy author of mine and is an influence on a lot of my fiction for Vocal. I got into him because he was referenced by Hawkwind, and this piece was about his collaborations with rock bands, especially Hawkwind and the Blue Oyster Cult. Three Vocal Hearts for this one but ninety-five reads.

My interview with Louise Distras, which was great fun because she recorded her answers for me which gave it an added dimension. She shared the piece on her pages so that brought in some extra reads for me. Check it out you may find it as enjoyable as I did.

One of my earliest Vocal pieces, about how I like to wander, taking the title from a George Harrison song which I think took it from a character from Lewis Carrol's "Alice In Wonderland" universe.

I will close this with a poem that I wrote about giving a Vocal Heart. I love my Vocal audience and friends, but I am also glad for the not Vocal people who take the time to read my Vocal creations.
