Where the Dreamwalker Treads Challenge Results
Things have been crazy busy for us here at ViM , and at Vocal too, over the last few months! Things have been absolutely topsy-turvy everywhere, to say the least! For us Vocalites, though, many have had their worlds ripped out from under them by the glitches Vocal's IT staff can't seem to work out, yet...

The Life and Times of Ben Boa
If you follow me, you may be aware of the series I have run this year about Ben Boa. A couple of months ago, I was privileged to be recognised as one of the runners-up in the "Almost Thereโ challenge. That story, โThe Story Behind Ben Boa," is here if you haven't read it.

That First Job
Who remembers going out trying to get their first job? Actually, if I remember my first ever job and I do not think it really counts, but it was when I was 11 going on 12 when I would help my dad care for several yards for I my job was to trim the sidewalks and weed the gardens and, in the Fall, raking the leaves and there were a lot of leaves for the owners of the yards. Anyway, I took over cutting those yards the next year and continued doing those for the, I believe, almost 20 years or so. Like I said really do not think that really qualifies as a first job.

500th Story: A Message to Vocal Writers
I finally did it! I've officially reached the 500-story milestone! Since joining this amazing platform called Vocal back in 2018, my goal was to write about topics that not only were relatable and important to me, but also relatable to others. I went from a subscriber count in the single digits to 62 subscribers. My goal is to reach 100 subscribers in the next year. If this feat were to surpass that total, we would celebrate this achievement together. I say we, because you have been part of my success and stood by me. My love for writing dates back to the fifth grade, where I started writing poems about anything. I took an extended break from writing until I found Vocal and decided to give it a try. After the first month of being on this platform, I knew that I found a site where I could express myself. Now that I've reached this important milestone, my goal is to write 1,000 stories within the next couple of years. I'm halfway there, but I have to keep pushing. I've had several stories that were chosen as Top Stories and also received one-off tips. They help so much and means that you're supporting creators like me, so we can keep writing and publish new stories. I have yet to win a challenge on Vocal, but that only motivates me to keep writing more stories and maybe one day, I'll achieve that goal. If I were to win my very first challenge, we're going to celebrate that moment together.

First, Congrats to all who participated. The Submissions are all top-notch! It is very difficult to judge these. I feel the pain of the Vocal Judges.
