It's A Challenge

Introduction

My first challenge today is to get this article published before I have to run off to York. Yesterday was slightly traumatic having to deal with disappearing parcels and potential thefts, but they are now all in hand and dealt with but on to the subject of this thing.

Unofficial Vocal Challenges

I miss so many of these but I believe that they occurred initially because there were either few or no official Vocal Challenges. I have run unofficial ones for years and they have resulted in some good entries and even Top Stories, and the same can definitely said of many unofficial ones.

I do get a bit worried when I miss some of them, but that is bound to happen. We have over seven hundred thousand Vocal Creators.

These two from other Creators were given Top Stories and have had a lot of entries, and show that Vocal are gladly promoting the unofficial challenges:

The "Vocal * Voices in Minor (ViM) ", "Great Incantations: A group dedicated to Writing Challenges" and "Vocal Social Society" have regular challenges and prompts promoted for Creators who are looking for just one more challenge, so if you are looking for something these are excellent places to find what you want between Vocal Official Challenges.

The unofficial challenges are a wonderful way of keeping the whole platform vibrant and keeping Creators connected.

It is good that Vocal make these unofficial challenges Top Stories because is shows there are always prompts and some actually give out small prizes, although I do believe most writers enter just because they enjoy taking on the prompt or challenge and if you win a prize that is a nice little extra.

Conclusion

These show that Creators can do more than just write, they can give other creators a reason to connect, long may this continue and develop.

This is my current one, and there will be more, but if you want to enter it closes at midnight GMT. The prize pool is three rand random dollar tips by Stripe for three random entrants.

The music is "Movin' On Up" by Primal Scream which is appropriate for us all

Thank you so much for reading.
