My Top 10 Truths for 2022
Many years ago, I began a "diet" that quickly spiraled into disordered eating comfortably disguised as a New Year's resolution. Undoing what damage I could and rebuilding a healthy relationship with food after the fact was neither quick nor easy. After a grueling healing process—which admittedly is ongoing—I resolved to ban resolutions of any kind. (Yes, I recognize the irony.) I was utterly convinced that I was one of many for whom resolutions were bound to fail.

I Quit My Dream Job at 23
Twelve years old, and I knew I wanted to be a dietitian. Ever since I learned that I could make money doing what I already loved to do - talking about nutrition. I wanted to be the expert on food and nutrition and dreamed of helping others become healthier and stronger versions of themselves. In addition, I wanted to debunk loads of misinformation present in the media, even way back then.

How To Be An Artist
When I was twenty years old, my team and I found ourselves in the police station, separately being interrogated in a tiny room at 10pm at night. We had been there for six hours, being asked question after question. We each also had our very own good cop/bad cop. My frustration and embarrassment piled up with each tick of the clock. “Surely, this isn’t how a photographer’s career is supposed to go.”

What if we fund artists the way we fund startups?
Margaret Atwood has a new novel coming out in 2114. You read that correctly: the bestselling author of The Handmaid's Tale will publish her last book Scribbler Moon long after we are dead. We won't get to read it, our kids won't get to read it, but maybe their kids will - and that's kind of the point.
Elle GriffinPublished 11 days ago in JournalWas I Right to Quit my Toxic Job?
When I was obtaining my MBA last year, I had a challenging time finding an entry-level corporate job that aligned with my skills and personality. It has been hard to even get past the ATS screening. The frustration you feel when you get an automated rejection letter is one thing. But, when you are used to it, you become numb to the negative response. Imagine it is still June 2021, you have just graduated and are still jobless, remaining hopeful you will figure out what the next stage of your career will entail. Then, within the drop of a hat, you get a call from a cousin about a job opportunity working for a big-name wholesale lending firm. Woo! You just scored a career win!

GREAT INCANTATIONS
Introducing... GREAT INCANTATIONS: CLICK HERE TO VISIT A Facebook group dedicated to Vocal Challenges! Back in October, your admins at the Vocal Social Society designed a Facebook space exclusively for reading, sharing, and chatting about Vocal Challenges. We were prompted by the beautiful chaos of the V+ Fiction Awards. Vocal challenge pieces, in my opinion, often require solo threads for best interaction, something that the Vocal Social Society does not do. In a nutshell, Vocal Social Society is an experience, like a theme park with attractions; Great Incantations is more like a banquet hall at a conference: you can blend in on threads if you wish, but you're better off to stand up and make a speech. Great Incantations is also private, so it's a place to get real and request feedback and proofreading before you distribute your work elsewhere in your ecosystem. Not sure how to give good feedback? Check out Tom's article at the end of this summary. Just...remember that feedback should only be given upon request!

Every Writer Needs A Coffee Break From Writing
Now and then, writers need a break from writing to be in touch with the real world, recollect their thoughts, and, most importantly, spend time with themselves. It might be our full-time jobs, our careers, or a simple hobby we love to do, but rejuvenation isn’t just a day spent at the spa or some fancy resort. It can be a relaxing day at home too.

How to Re-Enter the Craft
Every writer has periods where the craft falls by the wayside for one reason or another. Mental health issues, family commitments, work, and even a simple loss of enthusiasm or inspiration - all of these things can cause writers to put down the pen for a while. After this kind of hiatus, it is common to find that your writing skills have become a bit rusty - the average pace of writing may have slowed, and more complex scenes could be clunky or awkwardly written as you try to readjust and get your writer brain moving again.

Make Money With Your Photos
With the Internet becoming a dominant part of our lives, there are more and more ways of making money online today. Today, almost anyone can use the Internet to earn, right from a writer, a graphic designer and even a photographer. Just a few years ago, a photographer could make money only if he or she was commissioned for a particular job. If they ever took any photographs themselves, they would have to wait for the photos to be bought by some advertisement agency or media house. However, the Internet has changed all that.

Dear Vocal, I Love You But…

Simple Methods to increase blog traffic
Here, I have explained simple but effective methods to increase the blog traffic. 1. Quality. It is actually quality and not quantity of posts that is important in a blog. But very less quantity is also bad. We have to write quality posts only. It is important to write lengthy quality posts rather than very large numbers of small posts. Each quality post will add traffic to the blog. That means instead of writing hundred post of say some hundred words each, it is better to write one post of some 600 to 800 words.
