A Time for Reflection #2
As many start to count down the final hours to the start of the new year, I can't help but become nostalgic of the past 12 months. And not just at my writing, although it will be what takes up most of this essay. I think back to my accomplishments and failures, my mental highs and lows, my defining moments.

Vocal Reads Or A Vocal Bonus
Introduction For some reason, I believed that my monthly Vocal Subscription was covered by my reads, but until this year my reads were covering $4 to $8 a month, still a reasonable amount of reads and an improvement on my first two months on Vocal, which you can see below.

How Social Media Is Destroying Society
Start searching for something, and once you do, you'll notice it everywhere you go. Have you ever entered a restaurant and seen a whole table of friends on their phones? Or a group of people on the street? Even your own family, each absorbed in their own world, seemingly oblivious to their surroundings. If most human interaction is non-verbal, what happens when you strip away everything else, leaving only that small fraction? This is the experiment we find ourselves in today.

Embarking on a life in crime
Still working on my Vocal Whodunit (attempt number two as it happens) and still finding it hard to get myself going. Partly, I think, because a plod through a predictable plot structure leaves me cold. I say predictable, because crime and detective fiction is probably the most structured of all fictional story frameworks. This is one reason why I don't read very much crime. I have yet to read an Agatha Christie from start to finish. I only know the stories because I have seen one or two on stage or screen. I suspect the others are not much different.

Writing with my Husband
My husband and I have been role playing (rp) characters we create since we have been together. For seven years, some of the characters we have created I'm not ready to say goodbye to. I always ask him if I can use the inspiration for any story we make together if I see potential for a novel and just ad my own spin to it. His answer is always yes. This idea in particular we worked on together for two days I wasn't ready to say goodbye to. But currently I am working on a major project right now. So I wrote a brief scene on a google doc so I wouldn't forget it and filed it. Under Joaquin and Sophie Project. I started prepping for this project when I got inspired to write it towards the end of NaNoWriMo 2023 writing each character's back storyline now. I'm working now on the Villain's backstory arc and I always have fun doing that for some reason. To create a villain so fucked up that my audience would hate to pieces.
