Cat in Danger: People Lose their Minds. Top Story - March 2024.
The people were all looking up and gathering around. By the time I got there, the commotion was in high gear. I asked someone who was already there what was happening. He, in sign language, indicated he was deaf and mute. OK, sorry, I said, in my best sign language version, which is near 0. So, I kept on looking up, but with my poor eyes, I couldn't make out what everybody was so intent on seeing. So I asked someone else. Excuse me… She moved away from me like I was a leprechaun. Oh well, that’s two for two, I thought. I chose to try my luck with this old timer and asked him.

Good Habits All Writers Share
Writers have a lot of things in common and the same can be said for some of the habits they share. Now not all of these habits are good habits, such as our levels of procrastination, or how most of us haven't had anything to drink besides caffeinated drinks for longer than we might like to admit.

More Of My Vocal Milestones. Top Story - March 2024.
Introduction Once I hit my 1,900th Vocal post I started equating some with important years for me and in history. I also thought I had done a milestone piece but my last one like that was this, mainly about hitting forty thousand reads and how I did it. Things have changed since then, but you might be a little interested in it.

Keila’s Korner -
A Bi-weekly article for Proud ViM Productions: My name is Keila -pronounced like the “quila” in tequila – which is why I have gone to using the pen name, KJ - easier for people to remember, spell and pronounce. I answered to a lot of different pronunciations of my name growing up – especially in a time when odd names weren’t common. But I digress.

Writing is Not a War Zone
After reading the comments on Essay 5 "Writing is NOT a Safe Space," I wanted to clarify my argument. Though the reception was overall positive, I felt the nuanced heart of what I was trying to communicate was perhaps overshadowed by an either/or perception.

My Expectations As a Writer Of My Readers And Myself. Top Story - March 2024.
Mackenzie Davis issued a challenge in one of her more recent articles: Writing is NOT a Safe Space. I think this is an amazing idea - because let's be real, I am not writing for fun. I mean, I am writing for fun, but I also want to be a good writer. I want to be a writer with content worth reading. I want people on my writing platforms who read my work to say: "Oh man, she published a book? I have GOT to read it!"
