Battling My Work Lapses As An Author
It stresses me out when I don't post on Vocal for more than a few days. To me, Medium and Vocal feel like a job, and not posting feels like I am calling out without a doctor's note. I know that's probably not what it's supposed to feel like, but thanks to my wanting to make something of myself, it does. But I am not the sanest of people, and my life is complex so posting doesn't always take priority - even if I am stressing myself out in the back of my mind over it.

Spoiler Alert-Writing Challenge: How Speak No Evil Uses Recontextualization
Taking a thing with an established meaning and giving it a new and different meaning is to recontextualize that thing. For instance, in a general context the sun is contextualized as daylight and warmth. But in the universe of the legendary vampire, Dracula, the sun means danger and death. Media about vampire characters has successfully recontextualized the sun. Characters in a vampire movie seek the sun not merely for its actual context but as a way of defeating or, at the very least, delaying the monster seeking to destroy them.

The Decline In Our Vocal Story Reads By Vocal Creators
Introduction These days I don't get many reads from Vocal Creators, most of them come from non-Vocal Facebook Groups, so my reads are good and thanks to Vocal's refusal to show the number of reads within stories (they can show hearts in real-time, the number of comments twice, but no reads which is the most important thing I need to know because that is what that story pays me).
