Harder Times On Vocal For Me

Introduction

Although I have published over 3,800 stories on Vocal, I am spending more and more time looking for stories to reuse, like this one. I think when we publish stories, we also hope it will get noticed as a Top Story, Challenge Place, Leaderboard or maybe someone will share it in Raise Your Voice.

I know that none of mine will because the system stops them, so writing this, I know if a hundred more people read it and commented, it wouldn;t appear on the leaderboard, because the original was four years old.

What Else

I got this today from a ticket I raised (so they are replying)

But this is very similar to the one I got on December 5th last year

So I am writing and publishing and getting reads, but zero recognition from Vocal, the implication being that my work is not very good, when most of it is excellent.

Each story I reuse, I download to my computer so I do have the option of republishing them if I ever get the option of publishing new stories.

All this takes me away from commenting on others stories and supporting other creators, although we seem to have lost many creators because they have lost faith in Vocal.

One of the benefits of this is that I can republish some old excellent pieces of mine, so that new readers can read them, and some do get a decent amount of new reads.

Conclusion

The Vocal platform is still, in my opinion, the best writing platform going.

Thank you for reading this.

I would love this to get another fifty reads and comments to see if it would still be excluded from the leaderboard.

Just letting you know where I am at the moment, and I will keep writing and publishing, because there is a lot of inspiration out there.

The music is the beautiful "Chance" by Big Country because I only have a chance if I keep going.
