On Vocal Challenges: Official And Unofficial

Introduction

Each month we try to gather up the Unofficial Vocal Challenges in the Vocal Social Society and collect them on a thread so that people can find them easily and take some inspiration. This is the thread for September 2024:

My Observations

Vocal only makes a few challenges Top Stories so I am pushing mine which has had three entries so far.

At the end of the month, I give three random entries a dollar tip, but I see some of these challenges offer up to $20 for the winners. I see my challenges as prompts and that is how I use most challenges including the official Vocal Challenges that you can find here.

When Vocal Challenges are down to one or even zero, people start complaining, and I point out that Vocal Resources have lots of prompts for story creation which you can find here:

I do wish Vocal would allow us to use a different image, that one is so dark and boring.

I also point out the threads in The Vocal Social Society but some Creators will only enter official Vocal Challenges.

I try and support all the challenges I can, even, or sometimes especially if I find them difficult for me.

I was very sad to see that some of them I am the only person who has read and left a comment. Sometimes the challenge is too difficult for me like this one from Gary Dean Holdaway, but it might be right for you.

Conclusion

One of the great things about Vocal is that certain creators will fill in gaps where they can, providing advice and inspiration to others, and that means we can usually find something to make us put virtual pen to digital paper.

If you are stuck for a challenge or prompt please check out the links that I have shared and support other creators by giving them at least a read and leaving a comment.

And thank you all for reading this.
