Vocal
Progress
Eleven Days ago, I wrote a story called I'm back—maybe? In it, I talked a bit about my personal journey and highlighted some contests outside of Vocal that I was interested in participating in. I'm doing this because I've stepped away from writing for far too long. I've fallen out of practice, and my apathy has turned into the worst bout of writer's block I've ever experienced in my 28 years of life.

The Soul of a Poet
I thought I would write and tell a little about myself. I was born and raised in a rural area of Western North Carolina, in a small mountain community called Spillcorn. It's a place where everyone knows each other, where generations stay rooted in the same hills and hollers. Many who were raised there never left, never received an education, and never traveled farther than the town itself. I was determined to do things differently. I went to college and moved to the big city of Asheville, big to me at least. That move opened my world.
