Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it ā and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.

Hi guys, Ralph Emerson needs your help. He has problems with Stripe and I hope here are people, who can help him. https://shopping-feedback.today/journal/help-5fd90v37%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cstyle data-emotion-css="w4qknv-Replies">.css-w4qknv-Replies{display:grid;gap:1.5rem;}
Hi, I create fiction, poetry, and recently pieces for psyche here at Vocal. This evening I discovered this great piece. https://shopping-feedback.today/psyche/in-the-end-hp1dm0ft3%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv class="css-w4qknv-Replies">
I'm Alexis Wellmaker and I enjoy writing poetry, children's stories, and adult novels. I recommend reading D. Alexandra Porter's, "The Waters We Bring". This story's first chapter is hauntingly beautiful and tragic with resolution on the horizon @ https://shopping-feedback.today/chapters/the-waters-we-bring-5o8q0dgm%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv class="css-w4qknv-Replies">
The other day I enjoyed a lengthy Shakespeare-related discussion here on Vocal with Rachel Deeming, a most supportive creator who engages with the work she reads and always has something interesting to say. I wanted to mention this first, because of the ongoing problems with insincerity, spamming, and vapid truncated sentences passing themselves off as comments! If you'd rather have a proper talk about writing, here on this writing platform, I recommend you cultivate Rachel's acquaintance. I also recommend her current Top Story, which I won't spoil for you with any kind of description - it's one you just have to read. See the link below! https://shopping-feedback.today/motivation/an-unexpected-phone-call%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv class="css-w4qknv-Replies">

Heather's story was one of my favourites in the challenge. It should have placed. I assume you're going to give it a TS. Right?
great one please visit my profile and subscribe it and leave comments for me
I would argue that this poem, by Zara Blume, merits more attention and acclaim. It is more than it might appear to be, and dexterously mingles the ordinary and the extraordinary: https://shopping-feedback.today/poets/how-it-feels-pk1g70bn3%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv class="css-w4qknv-Replies">
I LOVE this poem by Andrei Z. https://shopping-feedback.today/poets/the-sky-was-bleeding-pastel-pink%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E. Just beyond words, how beautiful it is.
Hi vocal friends! Grateful for all of you! I have loved reading kory salajkaās haiku collections. They are tiny snippets (haiku) of daily journaling with some gorgeous and thoughtful life lessons weaved in. https://shopping-feedback.today/poets/haiku-october-four%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv class="css-w4qknv-Replies">

I'm loving Jay Kantor's writing.He is always just utterly himself. https://shopping-feedback.today/humans/baby-mamas%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E is a great read and example of his authenticity as a writer! Plus he never fails to make me chuckle and/or think for long afterwards š¤
