How Vocal Media Changed My Life
I first started with Vocal Media about three years ago. Then, not long after I joined, I had a downturn in ongoing health problems and a pretty bad accident. I stupidly fell off my bike going much too fast in the rain. Thank God the pavement was there to break my fall. Sadly, it also broke my left hip and leg and put me in hospital for three solid months.

Cleaning The Freezer
Anne Bernays and Pamela Painter — What If? Writing Exercise for Fiction Writers prompts The Exercise — Make a list yourself of things that are done in small units of time. Here are several suggestions: Naming a pet or a child, breaking up with someone, playing a game such as Risk or Monopoly, washing a car, stealing something, waiting or standing in line for something, packing to go somewhere, cleaning the refrigerator, having a birthday party, etc. Now write a four-to-seven-page story staying within the confines of a particular time unit. For example, a birthday party story would probably last only a few hours, or an afternoon or evening; naming a pet might span a longer period of time but will still be focused on one activity. The Objective - To recognize the enormous number of shaped time units in our lives. These units can provide a natural substructure and shape for a story and make the writing of a story seem less daunting.
