Four Years On Vocal

Introduction

I started on Vocal over four years ago with this piece, although it seemed to me the focus was on fiction and poetry, two things I had not really touched since school, although there were other "communities" which I did not explore for a while (I have now posted in every community).

The music is "Changes by David Bowie from the album "Hunky Dory"

So What Has Changed For Me?

The friends that I have made in the Vocal Community have encouraged me and given me the confidence to write fiction and poetry, and then anthologise that and self-publish eight books. That is an ambition that I have had for most of my life, and now I have achieved it.

I also share my technical knowledge and am confident enough to challenge and suggest solutions to problems on Vocal.

For me, it has become more than a writing platform; it is a place to read, get ideas and discuss them in relation to potential issues with others.

I often write things, and am not sure which community is right for the story. There are forty-nine communities you can have stories published in, but the forty-ninth is Resources. They have to be chosen by Vocal but there has been nothing new there for over two years, although I continue to write informative pieces about writing and publishing on Vocal.

This is the Vocal Resources Tips Community page.

This is my most recent one:

Conclusion

Thank you for reading, and I would be interested to hear how things have changed for you on Vocal.
