A Thank You To Justin, Chris, And Vocal
Introduction I am probably Vocal's fiercest critic and biggest promoter. It is without doubt my favourite publishing platform, but the upgrade has caused a lot of issues, and this is because of the complexities of the upgrade.

The Art of Writing on Vocal
A couple of days ago, I was talking with a friend about art, which is a subject I don't discuss much these days. It just doesn't come up in conversations with the family and Pam and I don't socialize much since our artist's group stopped getting together. I'm still a member of a Panhandle photographers' group, but we don't go to meetings anymore. There was some bad blood. I'll just leave it at that.

Vocal, those lovely horizontal lines are preventing me from copying and pasting.
Just another beloved thing I am not able to conjure from the magic cauldron Downloading a bunch of pics is a pain in the heart and soul - copy and pasting pics - I miss you so.

Please read!
Vocal writers are often amazing. What an opportunity to learn how to refine our craft! We can learn what works - and sometimes what doesn’t. We have an opportunity to read enlightening, educational, funny, titillating, shocking, horrifying poems, stories, and articles for free. Unlimited reading. Where else can you get that, other than libraries? Vocal pieces are lower time commitments than reading books.

Can Any Vocal Creator Who Cannot Get Verified Leave A Comment On This Piece?
Introduction Every link on my Vocal profile fails. It has been like this for three weeks. I have been a verified Vocal and Stripe member for five years, but Vocal have now stopped my connection to Stripe, so I cannot request a withdrawal or get tips that other creators send me. When you think about it, this is theft.

Coffee Confidence
This morning I brewed a coffee so strong it could wake the dead. For one glorious, caffeine fueled minute, I was unstoppable.

More Than Tired
Have you ever woken up and felt tired before your feet even hit the floor? I’m not talking about the kind of tired that a cup of coffee fixes.

Walking on Eggshells
You grow up believing family comes first, but home always feels like you’re walking on eggshells. They call themselves your biggest supporters, but even the smallest things you trusted them with end up coming back in the next argument.

You Leave the Conversation Your Mind Doesn’t
You know what happens when you stop caring so much about what people think? Nothing, at first. It doesn’t disappear overnight and you still catch yourself doing it because you’ve been doing it for so long.

What Happened to the Vocal Community?
I have been thinking about this for a while, and I finally decided to put my thoughts into words. I have only been on Vocal for about a year and a half, so I was not around during what many people call the platform's best years. Even so, I became curious one evening and started reading older articles from longtime members.

The love was real, but so were the lies
When you believe you’ve found the person you’re going to spend your life with, you give them parts of yourself without thinking twice.
