Check out Amy Writes' "Dashed Dreams and Good Advice" which captivates with its lighthearted portrayal of a teenage musical theater enthusiast. The excitement, disappointment, and jealousy experienced are all too relatable, and we love the humor peppered throughout. The story's essence lies in the protagonist's realization that setbacks, even in the grand scheme of things, are temporary and can be overcome.
Now it's your turn. Share your favorite stories in the comments below.

I say Vocal. Can you fix notifications so that it scrolls. I know that you are busy with tons of our complaints and murmurings, but we really are missing out on some lovely comments and insights from creators. Thank you for your hard work and for providing us with practically free therapy.
If anyone sees this, go read Ian Read's stories!! https://vocal.media/authors/ian-read
Hello everyone. I'm Temitope and I just joined the vocal creators. I hope to be inspired here. I like interesting contents. Shout-out to all creators here. Thumbs up 👍
Lia Tariah writes some of the most helpful and instructive health guides you can find on Vocal, but it was her fantasy storytelling that first drew me to her work. "The Magic Paintbrush," which you can read at the link below, is an exemplary children's story in every sense of the word, and should appeal to young people and parents and anyone who simply enjoys a good read! Lia is also a supportive friend, and a consummate professional in the art of writing. It's my very great pleasure to recommend her here! https://vocal.media/fiction/the-magic-paintbrush-bj2z8009c
OUTSTANDING WORK!!!!
Hey, friends! I'm sleepy drafts (aka: Em) 😊 First off, I * loved * the piece by Amy Writes, mentioned in the article. I think this was an awesome choice with a great message. Amy's voice is naturally engaging and she does a wonderful job of telling her personal story to deliver the point she's making. This was a seriously great read! I also have to shout out Loryne Andawey's microfiction, "Beta Testing" https://vocal.media/fiction/beta-testing "Beta-Testing" is so sweet and succinctly told. I love this cross of romance and gamer story. A fairytale gamer-tale, if you will, lol! 💖
Hey everyone, I’m Mackenzie, I create poetry and short stories. I’ve been wanting Pamela Williams to get more reads! Her poetry is fantastic, her short fiction is fantastic, so engaging and unique. Such an under- appreciated creator here on Vocal. Here is my favorite so far: https://vocal.media/fiction/falstaff and I love this poem, too: https://vocal.media/poets/the-windward-side.
Lovely one by the talented Misty Rae https://vocal.media/poets/heat-wave-qxh80hym Bio: https://vocal.media/authors/misty-rae-g9338k0eo0
Hi all, & welcome. My name is Daisha. I pretty much write what comes to mind, and express myself in a series of ways. Creativity to me is not limited, and I am adventurous enough to explore several topics & genres. Feel free to let me know what you think of my pieces and I’m always open to view other creator pieces because I always find myself learning something new and interesting. 🎨
I am pleased to highlight a new story by one of my favourite writers. Ej Ferguson's story "The Siren's Purse," is truly spectacular writing. https://vocal.media/fiction/the-siren-s-purse
Hi everyone! I write mostly poetry (sad or dark in nature), but also horror stories, and thought pieces commenting on my life, religion, marriage, and childhood trauma/abuse. Fantasy is my personal favorite to write, but it's actually not appeared much in my work on vocal. Check out a recent poem I've been happy with: https://vocal.media/poets/to-grow-old
I would like to highlight a fabulous Word Hunt fiction piece that I recently read by Sara Wilson:https://vocal.media/fiction/mirror-image-h22x0q70#comment-4beb07b2-69c6-4417-bfb3-e476a2c8dc89

Yesterday marked the finale of Chloë J's (https://vocal.media/authors/chloe-j) remarkable project to write a poem a day for the month of May. I have been awed by the vision and artistry poured out afresh each day. Read her capstone, aptly named Ode to Poetry -- https://vocal.media/poets/ode-to-poetry . Then browse her daily offerings through May. You won't be disappointed.
Hi there! My name is Steve and I write mainly fiction, a lot of sci-fi, fantasy, horror… and comedic pieces as well. Really any genre that comes into my head. I was already thinking the other day I wanted to promote a story by L.C. Schafer… turns out yesterday L.C. was one of the runners-up in the Unexpected Uncovering challenge! So all the more reason to check out a plethora of great stories. I very much enjoyed this one in a dystopian future: https://vocal.media/fiction/glass-dolls-d4u9nr05mo
Hi Cindy here (C.H. Richard) I write mostly fiction and some poetry. I would like to give a shout out to Real Poetic and some of her thought provoking writing. This poem which really tells a story that probably many of us have lived about why we can't leave a relationship https://vocal.media/poets/a-dead-existence
Hello all! My favorite story of this week was by Lachlan Clabrough: https://vocal.media/poets/the-monkey-and-the-glorious-mango As someone who tends to write darker pieces, it provided me a good laugh.
