Look how far we've come - Update 11/14/2024
When I started submitting to Vocal back in 2021, I did not think that I would be looking at upwards of 100 followers. I remember the days in my senior year of college when I had only three articles for the longest time: A Good Citizen, Secret Little Wars, and Just Desserts, each with hardly a dozen reads between them for the first month or so. It is an understatement to say that things were slow-going. Once the stats page was updated to show reading trends, it was downright disheartening seeing a flat line of reads resting firmly at zero.
