A Discovery in a Bus Shelter. Top Story - November 2025.
I met my first publisher at a bus stop. Yes, I am as busy with the challenges as any of you out there in Vocalland. I have also had more contracts added to my teaching schedule, papers marked and to come on the docket, and I think I may have beaten back a slight cold that set up shop at the back of my head and on my chest. I know that I should rest and restore myself to better shape so that I can keep tapping out these pieces. But I feel compelled to talk about a man who changed my plans for my literary career, especially since I did not think I had one.

“Dear Writer, You’re Allowed to Rest”
You’re Allowed to Rest By[Ali Rehman] Dear Writer, I know you. I know the way your mind races faster than your hands can type.

Some Thoughts on the Moon
I remember the moonlight brightening up my room when I was young, bathing my sheets in a crisp, white glow. The window a little bit open and my curtains rustling in the wind. The moon, so bright and big, seemed to be telling me secrets. Or looking back and seeing me too. I remember so many moments with the moon, in that childhood room.

Everything I've Ever Written is Regurgitated- And Yours Is Too!
Recently, I was flipping through facebook reels— yes, I’m old— when I saw an ad that caught my attention. On screen: colossal beasts with gleaming mechanical skeletons and ragged, battle-scarred hides stomped through a scorched wasteland, flanked by ragtag scavengers and grim-faced soldiers leveling rifles like it's their last stand.

Is a Vocal Conference Possible?
Wouldn’t it be amazing to have a Vocal conference and meet our fellow contributors in person? I know—we’re all over the world, so multiple locations would be necessary, but I think it can be done. I envision a conference in several different parts of the world, connected virtually. I envision groups based on communities with workshops and challenges.
