Observations On Vocal's Excellent Free Prompt Articles

Introduction

I was looking for something to write about and couldn't see anything immediately in the official and unofficial challenges, so I then went to the Resources Tips page. Unfortunately, this has not been updated in over two years, but that does not mean it is not useful.

My recent Challenge observations are here:

What I Found

The tips section is here:

While I don't use them every time, they are a great fallback with a lot of great starting points, but there are very few comments and not that many hearts on the articles. The highest has 46 hearts, and the lowest has 7, but it may be that creators drop in and don't leave a comment or heart.

I know I have done that, so I have now left a heart on each piece because I do appreciate them being there. I have used these in the past and may use them today, but I can't track down previous examples, although I always link to the Vocal article where I found the prompt.

Conclusion

Vocal provides a lot of help to create your stories, although it is up to us to promote our stories. Still, Vocal subscriptions, reciprocity and the Facebook Groups can help a great deal.

I'll leave you with a few of my favourite Facebook Vocal groups in a poem.
