Winter Folkloric Beings
Happy holidays, fellow Vocalites! I’m sure that we are all busy with our wintertime activities as well as the everyday responsibilities that keep our plates full all year round. It can make this time of year quite stressful. Well, it’s time to take a break from all that holiday shopping and festive cheer and get our pens to paper. ‘Tis the season to be writing, after all.

From Meeting on Vocal to Tying the Knot.
Howdy, Bore da friends, strangers, and hopefully kind-hearted bibliophiles! If you’ve ever found yourself cringing at the thought of self-promotion—rewriting that perfect Instagram plug only to blank-delete by attempt number 10—yup, you’re in good company. Because we’re about to do it right now (self promote that is), and we hate it. Believe us.

Sincere Gratitude
Over the past couple of weeks, I've seen so many amazing dedications thanking the Vocal community for their continued support. I'm usually not one to jump on a bandwagon, but after a (completely unexpected) successful week on Vocal and being the week of Thanksgiving here in the U.S., I wanted to take some time to say thank you.

Hideous, knife at my throat!
The Knife at My Throat certainly deserves Dishonourable Mention status! Despite my instant misgivings, I stiffened my spine and bravely pressed on past the daunting title! You may be unaware of the extent of my loathing of Horror, in any shape, form, length… it’s way too much for my already overactive imagination!

Eddy (EDD-ee)
What It Means - An eddy is a current of water or air running contrary to the main current, especially as a whirlpool. In figurative use, eddy may also refer to a contrary or circular current of thought or policy. // The strong gusts whipped up eddies of fallen leaves. // They were caught up in the eddies of chaos.

How I write my Poems 01.
Previously, I published my first ever exclusive story on Vocal. My plan was to host mini poetry workshops, revealing how I replace certain words with more grappling English that bribes the reader to shovel around their thoughts. But due to the fact that I have started a job that requires me to write weekly I am going to do away with exclusive stories and just post the mini workshops sporadically here with everyone instead of having to commit to exclusive blogging.

Shame, Guilt, and Self-Criticism
You are a Badass Deck, by Jen Sincero — It’s time to get mighty clear about what makes you happy and what makes you feel the most alive, and then create it instead of pretending you can’t have it. The cards in this deck were created from a book You Are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life.
