Digging Up Chapters and Short Stories
One of my favorite poets of all time is the winner of the Noel Prize in Literature (1995) Irish Literary Legend, Seamus Heaney. Whereas another great legend Ted Hughes wrote the poem 'The Thought Fox' to describe how he goes about writing a poem, Heaney wrote the poem 'Digging' to describe his choice to be a poet, instead of following his father's footsteps, digging for peat in an Irish bog.

Power Down to Power Up: Combating Work Fatigue
In the present accomplishment-driven climate, representatives frequently focus on work requests over private prosperity. This determined quest for efficiency can prompt a condition of business-related weariness, influencing individual wellbeing as well as generally speaking, hierarchical execution. Perceiving the unpretentious indications of weariness and executing proactive techniques for revival are essential for the two representatives and bosses.

Poemosaurus Rex Challenge Winners
Hard to conceive, now, how extraordinary it would have been to find the bones of those terrible lizards in the earth — in a time before humans had conceived of anything other than a Great Chain of Being, a static creation. Yet long after Darwin they still have a hold over us, these creatures which are the ancestors of sparrows and seagulls. All hail the dinosaur! They are at once real and mythic, objects of science and objects of wonder, exhibitions in museums and children’s toys. No wonder Vocal Creators responded with such a variety of work to our Poemosaurus prompt.

Hey Ralph - I hear you. Vocal is a challenge in persistence and equanimity. One has to approach it with a Zen-like posture or we'll start to break things through frustration. I queried Vocal about subscriptions thinking that these people are being informed when I posted something new. Not the case. There is no distribution - it's all self-promotion. So, you're right, top stories are picked by humans and there is a bias. Anyway, best to do what you do, enjoy the stories and poems and see what happens. Cheers my friend.
Nicely written, covering what a lot of us feel. We, too, get very few reads, but mostly due to exposure being limited. I'm sure Vocal Folkals all have reasons for what is done with regard to Top Stories, fostering diverse topics and timely issues, etc... but I do think they are trying to even the playing field.💙Anneliese
This is really interesting to read - I had never heard of medium before stumbling across vocal, and still haven't checked it out, but I fluctuate between enjoying vocal and accepting its flaws and finding its opacity and game play frustrating and feeling put off. I suspect you give voice here to the feelings of many.
Hi Ralph/Liam. I tried to rise your voice and hope that you'll be heard by many people.
