My mouse,
You arrived in my life twelve years ago,
Always reliable,
Helped me with the homework my professors gave me,
Helped me post my stories,
As well as helped keep me entertained with movies and games.
As one computer and then another left my side,
You have not,
I never had a problem with you,
For as long as I fed you with a battery every so often,
You were satisfied.
And for that,
I am grateful.
May we have many years to come,
My computer mouse.

Vocal & my relationship to publishing traditionally
Ever since my small writing beginnings, when I started writing on Vocal in February 2021, I had been in a truly terrible slump & funk when it came to my writing. I had so many unfinished projects, ideas, half finished manuscripts and first chapters that were going nowhere.
