Thank You Vocal
The year 2024 marks my third year as a member of Vocal.com. It’s funny how I actually found this platform by chance. A loved one mentioned to me and others in mixed conversation how they were interesting in possibly writing children stories online for a chance to possibly make some money in doing so. With writing being my passion that I was seeking to pursue I thought to myself “maybe I should give that a try and look for such a site. It might be a good stepping stone where I can stretch my legs as a writer. I am proud to say that it is certainly one of the best choices that I have ever made.

Reading Right
Ever since I learned to read at four years old I have loved to spend my time lost in a book. As a child I struggled with social anxiety, and reading was my escape. There were many times during family functions I would be tucked away in a corner, lost in the pages of a Nancy Drew novel or some other story. To this day, there are very few books that I will not read.
