Vocal
2024 Vocal Life
Vocal has challenged me to write an article about my goals for this coming year. And I realized when I read the entry I had not even thought about it. I am still coming up from a downward spiral and before today, it felt like setting goals was overwhelming for me.

Goals Achieved and Dreams Yet To Come
I'm not making any specific resolutions this year, for Vocal, or for anything else. As most people who set New Years Resolutions can tell you; that rarely ends in anything but disappointment, guilt, a lingering sense of shame and failure, and a general feeling of futility.

This Heaven We Have, Here . First Place in #200 Challenge.
There’s an author on Vocal named Raymond G. Taylor, who, at least from what I can tell based on his profile, is one of those prolific, enviable writers who seems to always earn dozens of likes and comments on the stories and contemplations that he posts on a near-daily basis. On Raymond’s own response to this challenge, which he titles, “Sorry, Vocal, but it’s not all about you,” he shares an altruistic commitment to the rest of us:

Let the Healing Continue
On October 12, 2021, a little before noon, I was involved in the first of three automobile accidents that would befall me over the course of the next five months. As car accidents go, they were not terribly serious; no one got hurt on either side of the impacts, and I was the victim rather than the offender in every circumstance. The insurance companies from the parties at fault paid for all damages to my vehicle in every case, but while that was a benefit and everything worked out alright in the end, I could not help but believe there was something deeper going on with all this vehicular trauma I was enduring. I've long subscribed to the belief that the main reason we're here, on this plane of existence, is to experience things, sort things, learn things. Part of this belief also asserts that if one is not learning the lesson one has chosen to learn, one keeps getting presented with said lesson. And the stakes get higher around it, until one is forced to pay attention.

Keep Going Until I Make it Big
For the past six years since I have been on Vocal Media, I have published poetry, excerpt scripts, music critiques, film and TV critiques, biographies, celebrities, where are they now stories, true crime stories, personal stories, gadgets, tech, and history. Before I signed up on Vocal Media, I was unemployed and an aspiring writer trying to find a writing gig just to get my work to be noticed. I had completed my first play which had been unproduced and I was a stay-at-home single mother to my loving autistic son Xavier.

A Few Thoughts On Writing
Introduction These are more thoughts on writing, creating and what's been going through my head. I think I have stopped my self-censorship, resulting in several poems one after another, but I have also been getting some negative vibes which I am dealing with.

Show Me Your Bloopers. Content Warning.
The intelligence is artificial, but the stupid is real I know lots of Vocal + members use AI to generate cover images for their stories here. (Not judging, I've done it as well. Sometimes, Unsplash just doesn't cut it. I did feel a bit dirty, though.)

Week Three of Write A Story Every Day in 2024
Week 3. 21 stories written. That's a lot of words and a lot of ideas. I'm sticking at it although I'm feeling less inspired to write microfiction and looking longingly at my old friends, the poem and the extended short story. I'm looking for prompts where I wasn't so fussed before. Unsplash is my saviour but there are many prompts out there to seek and I am still finding myself triggered by incidences at times into writing.

An open letter to all the hustlers. Content Warning.
To be or not to be, to go all in or to unwind and relax, we question our dreams, running in constant chase of our quests to come true, we are the ones who never sleep. Dreamers we are called, the ones who passionately strive in the endeavours of the best they could ever be, here is a letter to me, a letter to you. In the stride of embracing the best you have ever been, nurture your soul before the onset of the abundance in you that lies unseen.
