Vocal Secret?

Here’s the way to be ignored

Doesn’t matter the topic or if you’re adored

Look like you’re writing about the Lord.

#

Here’s how to ensure that not a word

Of what you’ve written will be observed

‘Religion’ makes sure you’re neither seen or heard.

#

Here’s how your work will fade away

Without a look, nor see the light of day

Writing about your faith struggle is exactly the way.

——-

Not everything I write is a winner, interesting, or everyone’s cup of tea. I’m good with that, no one owes me anything, I have no expectations.

I have a handful of stories among my almost 500 on this platform that have 10 and under views. It’s ok: learn from it and move on.

Is my own engagement with reading here down? Oh yes, yes it is- I am struggling to keep up in every part of my life not just on Vocal.

I am slogging through this year, I know it, and if you know me personally you know it, too.

Still. My entry into the map challenge has one view. Mine.

That is different. I mean, not even the Romance Guy has stopped by.

Not even Miss You’ve Got a Friend Can I DM you has been there.

Maybe the car threw people off? (It makes sense, I think, in the context of the story.)

Maybe mentioning my very real childhood AHa! moment made folks think it would be a sermon?

Maybe I should just take some time off writing for a while?

I suspect it was the Jesus insertion in the blurb visible on the thumbnail, but maybe not.

I’m willing to learn from this, and truth is it taught me about myself as I wrote it so; cheaper than therapy, I guess.

Here’s the entry into case you consider a ‘pity read’, but that’s not necessary. I’m just used to linking and attaching things that are the subject of my writing as a consideration for those that made it to

The End.

Edited to add: this whiny poem-ish thing IS my 500th piece on Vocal.
