False Start
More On The Vocal Situation
It's a pain maintaining two Vocal accounts. I don't want to do this but Vocal are stopping me from posting on my main account because of a system glitch.
There are other glitches that cause pages to crash, and they have never explained what happens there. Unfortunately, I can't show you as it only occurs in my lists.
Today, I did my test to see if I could save a story on my main account, and it saved. I thought I was back in business and started a funny poem to celebrate being back. I did a couple of saves without any issue, and then I noticed my profile picture was the backup account.
I felt completely deflated and deleted the poem
I then rechecked my main account and got the familiar nested error.
Maybe it'll get fixed tomorrow
I bought a new hedge trimmer. I charged it up started cutting, and ten seconds later the battery was dead. Recharged it, tried to cut again. Ten seconds dead battery.
I emailed the company. Half an hour later they told a replacement battery was in the post with a tracking number.
Now that is how customer service is done.

Considering The Situation
Introduction On the 12th of May 2025, I started my last post on my Vocal main account. I completed and published it on the 13th. I then started another story, and it wouldn't publish. So I waited, and retried. Just the same.

Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.

I feel so sad for you. I wouldn't have deleted that poem though. I would have kept it to post once the main account is working. Hopefully it gets fixed soon
There is an old Hee Haw song that says "Gloom, despair, and agony on me Deep, dark depression, excessive misery If it werenβt for bad luck, Iβd have no luck at all Gloom, despair, and agony on me." I think that describes the day you are having. I am sorry.
