Truly July: A Mikeydred July Dollar Prompt For All Vocal Creators
Introduction Every so often I set prompts in the Vocal Social Society and offer a dollar tip to three random creators who take part in it and ask them to share their stories in the comments and on the thread in the group.

She Just Wanted a Coffee
I sat in the coffee shop the other day. I had a seat by the window because I liked to watch people come in and out. I like to see what kind of car they drive, or if they ride a bike, or if they walk. I like people-watching in general. I especially like it when I’m writing and have a moment to myself when I pause and tune back in with reality.

Calling All Music Lovers!
Time to try one of these unofficial challenges out, if you guys would have me! Here's the prompt: Choose your favorite or one of your favorite albums or songs of all time and write about why it's so important to you. You can take any approach; delve into the lyrics, the instrumentals, the production, or just the way it makes you feel and why. Easy, simple, and fun. Really sell it to me! It can be as long or short as you want, word count doesn't matter to me.

Hear ye! Hear ye!
TL/DR at the bottom, following this symbol "-0-" With a sound like the ringing of tiny bells, a horseman approaches the town. Heads turn as he passes, attention caught by the speed and clamour. A gentle sound, despite the speed of his horse, a sound that calls all passersby to pay attention. To gather round him on the village green and listen to his decree.

What I Would Do if I Joined Vocal Today
I'd do things a bit different if I joined Vocal today instead of February 2021. For one thing; the platform itself has changed quite a lot. Acting on input from its writer/creators many enhancements to the reporting, pay structure, engagement, and even ownership possibilities are now in place. (Yes- I am aware that not every change has been greeted with approval. This is not that: I am focusing on what I would do differently today.)

Gratitude For Life
The last time I laughed so hard that my belly hurt was ___________ Rupi Kaur's Gratitude Writing Prompts When I was 24 and going to a women's support group we would laugh, I would go home with a sore face and sore sides. Why? I wasn't used to smiling or laughing. After a few months of doing that, I never have a sore face, sides, or belly from laughing as I laugh enough.
