I Made It to 100*. Top Story - November 2023.
This story has been sitting in my drafts for a while. I was nervous about boring people with a clip show of my Vocal portfolio. I've seen many of these Vocal milestone pieces on the platform and I figure, why not? I'll just spice it up with my signature wit and optimism.

"Pakistani Angler's Fortunes: Short-term Mogul On Account of Interesting Fish Deal"
In an endearing poverty to newfound wealth story that has caught the consideration of individuals all over the planet, a Pakistani angler as of late wound up launching into the posh everyday lifestyle after a fortunate experience with an uncommon catch. Muhammad Ali, an unassuming angler hailing from the waterfront town of Gwadar, turned into a short-term tycoon in the wake of selling an uncommon and slippery fish that specialists accept to be a stand-out example.

The Blank Page
I stare at my computer's white screen, nothing. Maybe it's just not my day. Should I try paper - something I haven't done in many years. I wonder can I even still write?

NEW BOOK NEW BOOK NEW BOOK. Top Story - November 2023.
Honestly I'm not really sure if this is the appropriate space for this or not, but anyway...for those of you who have enjoyed some of my poems this year, I just published a new book. It is a collection of about 75 or 80 of my favourite poems I wrote during my travels this year around Australia and Asia, including a few that showed up here on Vocal. (I lost count because I kept going back and forth about which ones made the cut or not).

How I’ve Prepared To Pitch My Novels
In the late hours of the night, I find myself tired but not willing to rest, weary but fighting to keep focus, and overwhelmed but still keeping hope.

Blood On Your Hands. Content Warning.
The phrase blood on your hands always amused me Like it stops there But it reaches beyond that, doesn't it? It seeps through your skin

Neurodiversity in Literature
Recently, neurodiversity is a term that has gained popularity as more people begin to understand and embrace the wide spectrum of neurotypes found in today’s world. It’s a concept that’s just beginning to be explored through literature. One thing is for sure, it can have a powerful impact on readers. By encouraging the accurate representation of neurodiverse characters and embracing the benefits of understanding these differences, authors can use their work to positively influence and advocate for the neurodiverse community. Readers can become more aware of the biases and stereotypes surrounding neurodiversity. Ultimately, I hope to encourage readers to think more deeply about neurodiversity in literature and embrace its strengths.

4K Ramblings
Yesterday, I broke 4000 total reads. It seems like yesterday, since I last wrote about hitting the 3k milestone. I’d like to share some of the thoughts and ramblings I’ve had since the last time I wrote.

Please read the linked stories and comment in this thread, on which one you think should be the overall winner. Of course feel free to comment on the stories themselves, but I will only be taking into account those comments that appear below.

Turning a Vocal Story into an Audiobook
Hello Again! For those of you who may not know, back in September, I self-published my first book, a horror novella titled, The Wailings. This story is special to my journey as a writer because it began on this very website as an entry to a Vocal Challenge. I documented the process of self-publishing in my article, "How I turned a Vocal Story into a Book."

"Whispers of the Fjords"
(This is my experimental work, it may looks like childish but I'll improve further if someone likes it or this kinds of genres. For further information, it is fictional, so don't relate with real life.)

DREAMS
My Dream Having a dream is one of the most beautiful things one can have. Another thing is trying to achieve it when it’s not coming to life because adulthood is different from that 8-year-old girl who wants to be a model and everyone says she will be the next Naomi Campbell.
