Gilded Tasks:

• Earn a Top Story between 22nd December and the 20th March - I wanted to share a fiction or poem but Vocal do not see me as creative so will share this :

• Publish 15 stories between 22nd December and the 20th March

So What Do I Think

I think Gary's intention was for this to take place over a few months finishing up at the end of March 2024. For any normal Vocal Creator that is absolutely fine, I mean the challenge has hardly started and he put a lot of work into thinking about and creating this challenge.

And then I come along.

I look at it and think, no way there's far too much in this and I will never be able to complete these tasks, some of them seemed difficult to impossible. In particular, I am not a cook, and who the hell would want to be interviewed by me?

So a normal Vocal Creator will take their time and finish a step a week, but I, like a very good friend of mine, want everything yesterday. I think that attitude is the thing that makes me think that I cannot do things.

Me, It's taken me three days. Heather's interview was excellent and all I had to do was ask the questions.

So that is me done, I will submit this to writers as all the writing has been done in the linked stories.

Thank you for reading this and any other of my stories.

And thanks Gary for this challenge.
