To Set Examples And Help People Out
Some More On What I Do In My Vocal Writing And The Vocal Social Society
Introduction
These are just a few pointers on how I write, and get people to read my stories and help with the administration of the Vocal Social Society. I also help with two other Vocal Facebook groups but they are very much backseat roles. I include a poem with some of my favourite Facebook Groups in the conclusion to this place.
So What I Do And How I Do It
I am a great believer by leading by example but not forcing people to do things. If what I show them is good enough then I believe that they will pick it up and run with it.
So when I write and publish a Vocal story I do not ask people to read my work or subscribe to me, I know most of my close friends don't subscribe to me because of the amount I publish, but I hope that people will see something that grabs their attention and if they like more that one of my stories then maybe I will get a subscription. I see lots of creators asking for read subscriptions and tagging people on Facebook, but that, rightly or wrongly, is not for you.
I also comment on pieces that I read in the hope that might result in reciprocity.
I also hope to find other ways to improve the things I do when I read others' work.
In the Vocal Social Society, we have implemented a couple of weekly processes to give extra exposure to members, invite to members by sharing their stories and improve interaction between our fourteen hundred members.
I love to see others follow what I do but I do not attempt to force others to follow what I do.
I also love to see others come up with there own ideas such a s this from Heather
And this does bring in a lot of new members to our group
So essentially I show people what I do and what I have got, and also encourage them where I can and I hope that will help them in their creative life, and when they succeed, maybe they can go on to help others.
Conclusion
Thank you for reading and here you will find more great Facebook Vocal Groups.
This is my second Vocal Story on my new (reconditioned) computer.
The music is my first Garageband play when I had an iPad

"Hear Me Out"
"Hear me out, what if we ran away together?" "Where do you want to go?" "Anywhere but here. We could move to a new city or to Canada, or we could disappear from society to live in the middle of the woods. Maybe a combination of two of those things would be good. What do you say?"

But how do you know that your close friends don't subscribe to you?
Great thoughts, you do publish a lot, and I cannot lie, I'm not able to read it all, still trying to improve on that!! Keep up this amazing work!๐
Awesome Article Mike. I am still working hard to be part of your favorite creators list. Keep teaching us man! Role model material man!
VSS and all the prompts/have help us grow as writers. One of the best things about writing here!
You are a great writer and teacher. I am learning a lot. One day I will be needing a new PC for the little laptop I have now (Gateway) will have to do. It was the only one I could afford at the time. It is serving its purpose. Good work.
I am extremely grateful for your leadership and sharing tips from your years of writing on Vocal. I am really looking into a new lap top and yours seems quite a good choice. I will write you questions about it's weight and cool new functions. Also, love the thought of your first garage band. Again, thanks for keeping me still here on Vocal as not being recognized by the admins. and NYC editors ( I assume that is who picks Top Stories) I lost confidence quickly.
A leader in our community! I have learned some much from you. Thank you for sharing and leading by example.
