My Way Of Writing On Vocal Is Weird
Or Is It?

Introduction
I will probably find out every Vocal Creator is the same as me, but while I hate to be constrained I generally write with certain structures in place, which, for me, make writing easier.
Hopefully, this will give you a little more insight into my writing process and maybe some ideas for yourself, or you may be able to give me some pointers via the comments.

Another View Of How I Write On Vocal
I generally have a structure for most things I write.
I start off with some relevant music, then an introduction, then the main body and then possibly a conclusion. That is te structure I am using for this article, and it will have a conclusion.
Sometimes challenges specify a number of words, so in those case,s I only write the article, story or poem and hope the reader comprehends what I am trying to say.
My imposter syndrome calls me lazy if I do short-form poetry such as Haiku, Senryū or Limericks and will only use these for Challenge entries. That is just me, I do not judge others.
Almost all my poetry is either Sonnet, Villanelle or Pantoum because the reality is that I feel safe in those forms. With Free-form poetry the imposter-syndrome kicks in again so I do not write like that. Given that almost every Vocal Top Story poem is free-form that is probably the reason why I am so seldom in there despite my poetry being excellent.
I use Vocal Challenges as prompts as I do with Unofficial Challenges. Then if there is still nothing that floats my boat, I drop into the Vocal Resources here:
I do this quite often and here is my last story that used a Vocal prompt:
On Facebook, I love storing stories on threads as they can stay at the top of the line but just dropping it into the normal discussion list means that stories eventually sink, replaced by other newer stories.
Conclusion
Thank you so much for reading, and I hope you took some ideas from this.

Just because you have your own style, doesn't mean that it is weird. If anyone has a problem with that, send them my way
I must have a bit of imposter syndrome as well when it comes to poetry. If I do a short form like a haiku, I will group several to give it a bit more substance. I struggle with free-form; I need the rhyme as well, which explains why I don't see Top Story from any of my poetry, apart from the fact no-one, likes it (maybe😉😉).
If we weren't weird, how would we know we are not simply clones one of another?
Everyone has their way and similarities seem to be a norm. Thanks for sharing
I don't think your way of writing is weird <3 Your voice is unique, which is good <3
I agree with Alex you are not a lazy writer. You are prolific writer, and you should be a teacher. Good job.
I don’t think you’re lazy at all! I love your haikus! You’re definitely one of the best writers on here! ♥️
Good work 👏
