You're No Good (Terry Pratchett Syndrome)

Introduction

I recently wrote this story and got a lot of supportive comments.

The Reality Is ...

Vocal are telling me my writing is not good enough, I don't cut the mustard. A number of Vocal creators have said to me that Vocal only choose stories by good writers for Top Stories and Challenges, implying that my work for them dis below par and not worth reading.

I know there are others who feel as shut out as I do.

However the comments I do get on my work is at odds with my Vocal invisibility, and the number of reads I get is still significant.

Terry Pratchett Syndrome

I am in the minority in the I don't like most of Terry Pratchett's writing, the only one I did enjoy was "Mort".

I always liked him as a person, and he came up with some excellent paragraphs and quotes on life like:

Then I saw an interview where he was complaining that he never got awards for his writing, and I thought man, you sell millions of books, you have a huge fanbase, you are truly appreciated, you don't need awards.

Maybe that is how Vocal see me, I get that many reads, that I don't need recognition by Top Stories and Challenge Placements.

I still would like Top Stories and Challenge Placements but I have had five Top Stories and one Challenge placement this year when most of my peers get two or three a month.

Conclusion

I know how good I am, and my friends and audience also know how good I am, it's just that Vocal are ghosting me.

Sorry to be so whiny , but thank you for reading and for your support.

The music is "You're No Good" by Linda Ronstadt
