Writing Is Good For Me
But Vocal Is Making It Very Difficult
Introduction
I saw this Instagram post the other day, and a lot of it rings true with me:
Both reading and writing definitely help my mental health and set me up for other things as well.
I have not been able to post on my main account for nearly three weeks (since November 23rd), and although I have had the odd email which admitted there was a fault (last communication a week ago, 5th December), I have to use this account (which has now been stopped from commenting because I tried to raise the situation on Vocal), it is difficult write, having to use once account for writing and another for commenting.
The music is "Watch The Girl Destroy Me" by Possum Dixon, which is appropriate for my situation.
I Will Keep On Keeping On
I have received support and encouragement from a handful of creators, but most make me feel that they are glad to be rid of me. Someone told me the other day that they can't wait for me to start writing again, because they will only read new work on my main account.
I will write stories, poetry, playlist pieces and the odd technical and pet piece to keep myself going.
If nothing has happened by Monday, I will just revert my main account to a free one. There is no point in paying Vocal for things they are effectively refusing to provide.
I hate doing pieces like this, but I need to post them to track what is (NOT) happening.
This does provide a break from the stuff I want to write, so my next piece will be more upbeat (I hope).
Conclusion
Thank you for reading, and check out that Instagram link, it is very illuminating.

This was a profile for my more adventurous posts. Now I'm using it for an emergency backup. A glitch has stopped me from posting on my main account and Vocal refuse to acknowledge my tickets

A Weird or Normal Dream
I dreamt I was at a very big store, hanging out with Catherine, my former coworker, and Mary, our former boss. We end up sitting at a super long table in the employee basement and reconnecting. I think at one point how Iβm glad I can be so far from them, and that Catherine should be farther away from Mary.

Thank you for sharing what's going on.π’
Hope it is resolved for you Mike!
You have all my support brother I hope you get your old account back
Again mate, I cannot believe this is still happening, it feels like it's been forever. I am just glad you're still writing and keeping on doing your thing :)
I'm sorry to hear about your Vocal troubles, and I, for one, definitely miss your posts. My dealings with the powers that be here haven't always been pleasant, but overall, the community has been good for me. I'm not so sure that's going to be the case for long, judging from the (lack of) response to my last. I'll ride it out until after the holidays and see how things are going. Good luck, and I hope it's sorted out soon.
I really hope you can get all the issues sorted soon! This has already gone on way too long!
Really do hope this gets sorted for you soon.
I hope this vocal issue will be resolved. Someone is certainly jealous of you to cause your main vocal profile to go out of order. You are been a role model to me and I know Vocal will fixed it. Does both profile have the same email? I had that issue with Amazon a few years back and lost my book I published in the process π«©π€
