Tell it to me again.
My heart beats but it’s fading. It’s bubbling in my ears, and I know you can hear it too. You wouldn’t be looking at me like that if you couldn’t hear it too.

Belle's Unofficial Challenges 2.0
Hello Vocal Creators! Here you can find all of my (open and closed) unofficial writing challenges! But Belle, why would you write a new pillar post when you already made one?

Results: Setting That Eats [an unofficial challenge]
THE RESULTS ARE IN! This challenge was quite fun! All of your entries were so interesting to read, and I absolutely adored all of the variety! I try to keep it as open-ended as possible, which of course leads to it being so SO hard to pick a winner. But! I still love the challenge!

Us and Pigs [an unofficial challenge]. Content Warning.
Hello Vocal Creators! Welcome back for another challenge! TW: This post will have brief mention of SA. For those just tuning in, I post unofficial writing challenges regularly every month! I post (always) on or around the 1st of each month, and then (sometimes) on or around the 15th. Each challenge stays open for a month to gather entries, and then the results are posted (about) a week after the deadline!

Silence
Slosh, sulking, sullen. Ink dripping down in this Last Entrapment, Niche encampment, Crushing feat in this last Encounter, this embrace, of this moment of silence.

Results: Riddle Me This [an unofficial challenge]
THE RESULTS ARE FINALLY IN, YOU GUYS! SO. The last couple of months have been intense for me, and I ended up taking an unintentional hiatus from Vocal Media, just due to things not quite working the way I hoped. There were lots of twists and turns this summer, but I think I am finally finally FINALLY back on track!

Results: The Conviction [an unofficial challenge]
THE RESULTS ARE FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY IN! So, big ol' elephant in the room, this post is so so SO late for a couple of reasons, but the big one is that I was having technological issues, and could not publish the results once they were made. I keep getting a "nested errors" message when trying to publish. As I have created several new drafts trying to get this submitted for review, I've noticed that the system is definitely happier with a shorter post and less links, so I'm going to skip through the fluff, and just write in the Top 3 (literally the BARE MINIMUM), and hopefully I can come back and add the notes and links after. So just... bear with me. (heh...)

Results: Text Thoughts [an unofficial challenge]
THE RESULTS ARE IN! Welcome to the results for my May/June 2024 unofficial writing challenge "Text Thoughts"! I would like to sincerely apologize for being so late to posting! This was originally supposed to be released on June 22nd, and I only got to it now... I have started a new full-time job (on top of my other two) and have had some family come to visit, so it has been a busy time. I'm hoping to stay a little bit more on top of things in the coming days!

circles the poet
I'm not sure what I'm doing. Do you see what I see? Lipstick on a pig. Achievements never looked good on me. A million awards but the presentation is tainted. Painted talons are still sharp. A soft mouse still a pest. A spider with cute eyes still with eight spiny legs. Do you see what I see?
