Why I Fail as a Vocal Writer
I joined Vocal in January 2022. To date, I have 33 Top Stories. I have also placed Honorable Mention in one contest and Runner-Up (before the current prize structure) in four. I have even received $75.98 from 24 tips, most of which have been from unofficial challenges. So, one might think that I am a fair success on Vocal. However, one metric proves that that is not the case: my overall reads.

Raise a Glass to America
Today is the Fourth of July. America celebrates 250 years of its independence from Britain (even though seemingly confused about wanting a new king). Imagine you are at the celebration. The fireworks are ready, the grill is hot, and someone has just handed you the microphone.

Tell Me About It
Vocal has many resources for new users, and for those users that may want a little refresh. You can find these resources on the Resources tab. Note that I would add a screenshot here, but I can't figure out how to do that since the platform has reformatted. Once I do; I will. But go to your home page and look at the top of the screen and you will see the word Resources, then click on it. You can also click on the image/link below (which looks like a mistake even though it isn't) and you will access the Resources page.

Some Positives About The Editor Upgrade
Introduction I am still unable to publish on my V+ account, Vocal saying they are working one it, but so many V+ Creators still cannot publish their work. It has been three days now without the ability to publish meaning that our audiences will think that we are not writing anymore.

A Writer's Notebook
Everyone knows that every great story starts with a single idea. However, the problem is that ideas rarely arrive at the exact time when we’re sitting at our desks and ready to write. They tend to appear while we’re driving to work, standing in line at the grocery store, watching a movie, or trying to fall asleep. If we don’t capture them in the moment, then they might be gone forever unless you can remember them.
