Time to Breathe
I've been doing a lot of deep thinking lately. I'm not usually prone to this. I tend to be an "acknowledge it and move on" type of girl, but lately, I've found myself returning more and more to my introspective self and asking myself a lot of questions.

Exploring Different Publishing Options: Traditional, Self-Publishing, and Hybrid Routes
I'm going to start this article out by saying that there is no real right or wrong choice in the publishing options, the right one is the most compatible and in line with your goals, budget, and timeline as a writer.

Thou Shalt Never Leave Thy Reader Annoyed
(Click below for SoundCloud Audio) When it comes to important writing commandments, ordinal numbers are not necessarily helpful here. There are things that writers should/shouldn’t do that even in a priority listing would all need to be in that number one slot. So that’s exactly where I’m going to put them.

Dear H--Am I a Poet?
*** This is in response to Heather's "Write Me a Letter" Challenge. Heather, all I can say is, I'm sorry. Also, the letters are all there. I made them bold and underlined as they appeared in order --except the single "Z" which is out of order but present and accounted for ;) ;)

What Editfest taught me about writing for Vocal challenges. Top Story - October 2023.
I love writing, but as a videographer, my job is creative in a different way. I'm grateful to make a living as a storyteller across mediums, and while I have used one to promote the other, I hadn't consciously considered how those two realms could influence or inform the other in terms of the hardest part of the creative process: Solidifying a story idea, the mental battlefield as a Vocal writer. With Vocal challenges especially, I have been guilty of spending a lot of time in the starting blocks, obsessing over the minute details. And then Editfest came along.

The Writer/Reader Guilt Complex
Does this scenario sound familiar to you? You publish a story here on Vocal or some other web publishing platform. It might be a story you feel is really great, or one that is mediocre, or maybe even one you regret. Another writer you are familiar with from the site leaves a like and a comment on said story. The quality of the story and the content of the comment are not really factors in what happens next. You ask yourself when was the last time you read anything published by this other writer? You also consider, when was the last time you left a like or a comment on anything they had written that you read? If you are anything like me, (I can assure you, you are not, but we may share at least this in common) our answers to both questions will probably be a very low number or zero in some cases. A nagging guilt begins to build at not having read or commented on any of this writer's many works in a very long time, or maybe even ever. This very nice person, this aspiring writer just like yourself, took the time out of his or her busy schedule to read and comment on something you wrote, and you can't even be bothered to do the same for them? What kind of monster are you? And, so, appropriately ashamed you immediately seek out something/anything this person has published and leave a like and a comment to even the score. It doesn't matter if the piece you found was Hemingway reborn (highest possible literary quality) or Michael Chrichton reborn (lowest possible literary quality), you like it and you leave a comment detailing how great it was for whatever reasons you think will soothe your guilt ridden soul.

Welcome to Tales From Elsewhere!
Do you ever wonder why are people interested in stuff? I personally believe it's a combination of three aspects. Firstly, as humans, we're a naturally curious species. We are hungry for knowledge and certainty of what we see.
