How Many Rejections?
This was a fun cosmic coincidence. I had just recently hit my "writing anniversary" of three years since the first time I had been published. Of course, I had been trying to get published for a while before that, and I had been entering all sorts of contests as well. All in all, submitting to publications and contests has basically been going on for the last 5 years of my life.

This Is What They Don't Get
They looked at me and said, "Don't you feel lonely, living in your own little world all the time?" And I didn't answer right away. Because it's not a little world to me. It's the only one where I can actually breathe. Where I don't have to explain myself or shrink just to be tolerated and where I can think without being corrected, rest without being judged, exist without always performing for someone else's comfort. So l looked back and said, "You mean the world where people pretend all day, where you say you're fine when you're not, where everything depends on being liked, accepted, approved? You think I should trade peace for that? I don't feel lonely in here. I feel safe. But maybe that's the part you don't understand, because you've spent so long adjusting yourself for everyone else, you forgot what it's like to just be."

The Vocal Situation
Introduction Thankfully I can now publish and there are some improvement in the editor although I hate the autosave feature. When it fails and says it is saved locally you don;t know whether to trust it. As yet it has worked for me, but I do save an offline copy just in case.

The Grammarly Conspiracy
Introduction When I first felt I could actually write on Vocal, I got advice from Call Me Les and Tom Bradbury to use something like Grammarly to help my grammar and spelling, because my writing is not that good. I stumbled about and wasn't sure at first, but eventually started to use it in earnest.

More On Writing On Vocal
Introduction The title came to me while I was out walking, and written down it is fine, but when you say it out loud it will sound very like "Moron Writing On Vocal" which I know is the opinion of a few in the Vocal community, though it does make a slightly humourous introduction to this article.
