Soooo!!
In 2024, I'm going to take my mask off... I'm going to open up realizations of unknown imaginations through my stories. Be prepared...
I wasn't actually planning on contributing to this challenge. I kind of wanted to keep my goals to myself, but I've read soooo many amazing pieces of writer's aspirations and feel as if it's more of a way for people in the Vocal community to understand who you are as a writer.
I joined Vocal in November 2023 so I've only been on this platform for a few months now. I've currently uploaded 58 stories and will strive to upload way more than I currently have. If you read my stories, you can see I write very emotional, touching, crazy, and complicated pieces. When I firstly joined vocal, I only wrote really deep-love poems that were truly beyond belief. I actually joined Vocal in one of my lowest points in life, I had a loss of direction and figured out writing had created a world for me where I could just be myself for once, without judgment.
The reason why I joined Vocal was because I felt as if this was a getaway place for me to write away how I was feeling. It was relieving knowing I could write about my passion and how I'm feeling, and have people on Vocal appreciate it and support me. I soon to realize this platform was more than just about writing, but a place of creativity and emotional support!๐
A big inspiration/goal of mine currently may seem a little impossible, but it's worth giving anything a go. If your going to lose, lose trying... I want to bring film into the vocal community, maybe there could be a way I could persuade Vocal Staff to open up a film category for film writers like me. Expressing our stories through cinematography and the world of film. Let me know your thoughts writers!
I feel like what sets me apart from other Vocal writer's is that I tend to write very tacky titles. I started noticing this as I got more involved in the community and realized all writer's have such beautiful titles for their stories, yet mine are just "My Work Boyfriend" "Fireworks exploded love " "Stich My Heart You Broke". However, this is what makes me different, this is how I engage my audience, I hope to continue to write more weird and appealing titles in 2024!
In 2024, I will also continue to keep getting my mum to read my stories๐! I know it sounds crazy, but it's something I'll never grow up from (Still needing your mum for everything). As my mum is a book-a-holic she loves to read anything I write. Most of times she quotes "That was very deep...." and I say, "Well do you want me to be in the shallow?" Otherwise, I hope mum is prepared for the new stories I'll be creating in the future on Vocal 2024!
As I'm still fairly new to Vocal, I hope to meet more people in this community. If any writer's wanting to exchange subscriptions for support, just let me know in the comments!
Additionally, I reckon Vocal has to be the kindest, humble and most involving community in general I've been a part of. I was really shocked of the support writers had given me since joining, it's nice for once to be able to participate in a community where it's not all about competition and conflict. I would also like to properly thank 'Dharrsheena Raja Segarran' for supporting me since the second story I uploaded. Dharrsheena has always read my stories since, and I don't know how else to say thank Dharr!๐ It's like being friends with a celebrity!!
One thing I'm also most definitely continuing is fighting these stupid, scamming bots here on vocal. ๐๐๐
Overall, my aspirations here on Vocal in 2024, is to continue to express my creativity and stories through writing and hopefully film soon as well. I hope to also be involved more as it can open up to more connections towards other amazing writers! Goodluck to everyone here on Vocal, hope everyone fulfils their goals in 2024! ๐

Now, should I be flattered that I see my Black Creator spotlight story recreated in Chapters by a copycat?
Exasperatingly, I am scrolling through all the annoying obviously AI created stories in the communities to find new and relatively new people to highlight their stories on my humble endeavor to feel useful here. Honestly, I now feel like a dinosaur in the Vocal writing strata, so many of the tenured creators have jumped ship, or are taking hiatus-es, a lively revival is needed, something revolutionary is hoped and longed for.

Remembering the rink
If you were there, youโll never forget it. For decades, Durham Ice Rink was at the heart of the cityโs social life. From Friday night ice discos to crowds roaring on the Wasps every Sunday, not to mention a proud history of figure skating and speed skating, the riverside rink was the place to be.

Tacky titles beat tactful titles any day in my book. Loved your aspirations. Also loved your response to the spammer ๐คฃ.
"Stitch my heart you broke" is an awesome title! Was it a poem? Ah heck, I'll go read it for myself :) Sidenote: did you know you can link your stories in the article itself? Turning your mentions to them into a hyperlink? I do that sometimes, though I don't know how much traction that gets. Would be neat to see on the stats page, eh? Sometimes story titles pop out of the ether at you, other times they really need to be chewed on beforehand. Like, the most difficult one for me by far was Wanderlust and the easiest was Midnight. But most of them get truly terrible placeholders until I finish them and figure out what the whole thing was about in the first place. How do you normally name your stories? Also YES! Dharr is the best! Love her
This is awesome! These are some great goals. Also, I *love* the idea of introducing a film/script category to Vocal! That's brilliant! I look forward to reading more of you this year. Happy 2024!
The bot comment ๐๐๐
Good luck Kodah!!!
Awww, you're so kind to mention me, thank you so much! ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ I'm sooo happy you found Vocal because like you said, this community is so supportive and writing is very therapeutic! Also, I don't find your titles tacky. I feel they're very eye-catching! Keep writing dear Kodah! ๐ฅฐ As for your "shush" comment, I saw that and laughed soooo much hahahahahaha ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
Your titles is what captured my attention to read your stories! Loved this piece ๐
I hate those bots, too. But if you would like to make a lot of money...
Really enjoyed this and it's a superb entry for the challenge. Keep being you and your titles are often why I read them. Like My Work Boyfriend drew me right in and I had to know what it was all about. I enjoy your writing a lot and look forward to reading more of it in the coming year!
I love your titles!! There the reason I found you and your stories. Good luck to you in 2024! โค๏ธ
I think you've come to the right place. Vocal are always trying to accommodate different communities, so one for film is likely at some point. I'm surprised there isn't one already. Dharsheena was the first person to comment on a story for me. Good luck going forward
Cant wait to read more of your stories in 2024! Excited to see what writers have to bring this year! โค๏ธ๐
โShushโ ๐คฃ๐คฃ. Loved this Kodah! I hope to start writing this year, good-luck to you too! โค๏ธ
