The Year I Fell In Love With Writing
2007 was the year a lot of changes happened for me. Some I would like to forget (the usual stupid awkward high school stuff lolz.), and some I would never forget. This post will be about the moment I found out writing could be a major part in my life. Whether it be applying for jobs, jotting random thoughts for my blog page, song lyrics I think about or story ideas. Writing has never left me and became a major part in my life from 2007-2021 and its looking like beyond that. I think its cool to take a moment and think to yourself why certain events in your life made you who you are. And this is mine. Heres when I found writing in 2007.

There's No Quick Hack To Writing Success
Yes yes, I get the irony — an advice article condemning advice articles, but this needs to be said. Anyone who has made a buck in the writing game has written at least one article advising aspiring writers exactly how to do it.

Keep Moving Forward
Vocal has come a long way since it's creation, and even since I joined up back in July. In just those four months, We've been given a word-count in drafts (SO much easier than copy-pasting everything into a word document to keep track!), subscriptions, and hearts upgraded to a form of a "Favorites List". New Categories are being added regularly, and Vocal is listening to feedback from its creators.

Why You Need to Write Ads Instead of Blogs
In a world where people have forgotten how to be really moved by quality writing, good copywriting is a force to be reckoned with. Well-written copy can make a person laugh in a way that's not inane or snarky, and it can make them feel something real too. And if you want your work to be read by more than just your friends on Facebook or Twitter, then you need to write ads instead of blog posts!

Hygge, Small Wins and Tiny Wonderful Joys
Before we get started with home and comforts, we'd like acknowledge those that made it possible to enjoy the tiny wins with their momentous efforts on our behalves. Let's take a mindfulness moment to honour our veterans. Tony Stauffer, a veteran of the Navy himself, has written a poignant contribution and beautiful tribute to those lost. #LestWeForget

“Let Me Entertain You!”
Every reader wants to be entertained with the material he or she is reading. It is upto the writer to create literary pieces that speak to the reader at an emotional level. Facts are everywhere as are stories, waiting to be used, told and re-told. However, it is up to the writer to use a blend of facts, with a touch of creativity, imagination and a dose of the entertainment factor to make the writing interesting to read.

Pieces of Me with Company
I began writing short stories as a writing exercise just over a year ago. It helped me concentrate and work my brain for content. Each short story then was only 300 to 400 words. Each day I challenged myself I could write another 30-50 words. Eventually I was up to 900-1000 words and after editing I had about 800 to 900 words. This was good and I knew I had to push harder. The words began to spill unto the page like children who needed direction as well as nurturing. To push hard without a hug would not be balanced. To hug and not push hard would be not good for the child. Everything must be in balance for it not only to feel right however to be beneficial.
