Why Consistent Writing Is Just - Difficult
If you've ever followed a writer on any form of social media you will - probably more than once -have seen them share some funny image about being a writer who doesn't write.

Writing Sucks
The writing process is exhausting. Do not get me wrong, I love to write, but many times I get the impression that I am not good enough. I have been told by friends and loved ones that I am a good writer, so why is that not enough? This is a question that I constantly find myself revisiting.

Let go
I joined Vocal only a few months ago, so I don’t really have a “past year”. But – in exploring different online writer communities I quickly came to realize that there are platforms for any creative writing I want to do – and a plethora of readers and writers with whom I can interact to help me improve and refine my writing. That it took me until middle age to realize this and find my (online) tribe is entirely my fault! But Vocal in particular suits me. I like the way communities are grouped into genres and that I can move freely from one to another depending on where I want my writing to be seen. I love that I can comment on published work -and especially that others can comment on my own. We don’t grow unless we push past our comfort zone and it is high time I embrace and act on my desire to be a “WRITER”.

Don't Buy My Book
My book-baby A few people have asked about my book-baby, but I've generally been cagey on the details. This is partly because I don't want to spam you lovely lot. Can you imagine if every other post on here was just more LOOK I RELEASED MY BOOK, LOOK AT THE COVER OF MY BOOK, PLEASE BUY MY BOOK... It would be like Twitter, and none of us want that.

Learning By Example
“Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint on it you can.” ― Danny Kaye * When I think about where and who I want to be in 2024, a myriad of names floods my mind, and I think: I want to be like that, I want to be like them.

The Trinity of My Heart, My Hands, and My Words . Runner-Up in #200 Challenge.
At some point in my life, for a week or two, I stayed at the house of a retired couple who owned two big dogs. One evening, their young grandchildren came over for dinner. Minutes after the children’s arrival, the whole house was filled with laughter and excitement. Apart from chasing around and throwing jokes at each other, the children fearlessly surrounded the two dogs, which were taller than them, touching every inch of the dogs’ fur. The grandmother looked at me and said, “See, they’re not even scared!”
