Vocal Tips And Guides (And Prompts And Ideas And ...)

Introduction

This has come about by people getting aggravated by Challenge Results being late, or the fact there are no new Challenges, despite there being a lot of unofficial challenges around. I run one each month.

Also, people want improvements to do what they want, but often there are workarounds already available, and this is a little of where you can find them.

I am not sure if people will read this or take my advice, but I will put this out anyway and if one person gains something from it, then it will be worth it.

The song is Queen's "I Want It All", appropriately.

Vocal Tips And Guides

I see the Challenges on Vocal, Official and Unofficial as prompst to create stories. I know I am highly unlikely to be considered in a challenge, but I have an audience who love my work, so I regard each challenge as a prompt with a free entry to a lottery, but I always win because people read and comment on my work.

The Tips and Guides page is is here:

The first item on this page is my Tips on Formatting which we all need, but has only 32 hearts despite its republication five months ago.

I see people in the Creator Chat asking for things that are often featured on the resource page above but they haven't looked, and believe me, it is full of useful treasures.

There are some problems with the Vocal editor but it has improved dramatically since I signed up. I would like to see justification and maybe font choices and colour, but to get around that I create the post in Google Docs and then take a screenshot like this one for the recent "In Eclipse" Challenge.

This is available to everyone, well Windows users and I am sure other operating systems provide equivalent options.

These resources, as well as helping you put together your Vocal Creations, have lots of lists for writing particular types of stories.

Conclusion

If you are looking for an idea, or how to do things, drop into the cornucopia of help and ideas that Vocal provides for you totally free (it is for everyone), you will find things that may be just right for you or even things that you hadn't even thought of.

Please take a look and if you find something let me know in the comments on this piece.

Thank you so much for reading.
