On Poetry
In a previous post (here) I listed nineteen poetry forms which I thought would give me some frameworks to write poetry, but when I looked closely a lot are more about the style than the formats. I do prefer a defined format then I feel I can call it poetry. My previous attempts prior to my first sonnet were very free form.

Meeting one of my favorite authors
When children see Rick Riordan, Amy Krouse Rosenthal, Brad Meltzer, or Matt de la Pena on the cover, they know what books they like. And this strong connection deepens when your child has the opportunity to see for himself the author himself. At book fairs, library events, book readings, or when writers begin to market their works, it all comes to mind.

Vocal Subscribe: The Power Is In Your Click
Well, this has been quite a weekend. Not only did our online literary society, The VSS, successfully launch its new social media presence using our article, Introducing The Vocal Social Society: A New Way to Network, but Vocal turned around and surprised us all with the long awaited subscribe button! We at the VSS are over the moon excited to follow our friends, and, more importantly, attract and retain more readers.

I Think Vocal is Breaking Up With Me.
I thought we had something special. I really did. I mean, we had a whirlwind romance, Vocal and I. It started in February when I wrote a little thing. Then I wrote another little thing. And then the THIRD little thing I wrote went straight to the front page. I was a Top Story, baby! Woo hoo!

Confessions of an Obsessive Writer
I. Today, my wife and I find ourselves at home. This isn’t at all strange; we’re quite regularly to be found at home, even when there isn’t a pandemic happening. Today’s no different. As the coronavirus drama continues to develop in the world, Valerie and I are relaxing comfortably in my study, contentedly doing what we always do on a lazy Sunday afternoon: self-isolating.

The Joy of Writing
There is absolutely no question about it. The human race is filled with many things that have been known to induce stress. Things like political discourse, rush hour traffic and the interaction of some less than favorable folks to name a few. Some of it can not be helped and must be dealt with. Things like finances, inner family turmoil, diet and weight loss are but a few examples of stress that can not be avoided.

Are Vocal challenges a waste of time?
Vocal Challenges is how Vocal makes its money. A lot of them are open to Vocal Plus members who pay $9.99 a month or $99 a year. If you're lucky you may have claimed one of their discounts or even got it for me for a few months, as I did. A lot of the big writing contests cost money to join, and lots of writing contests can get anything from a hundred to a thousand entries. Vocal is no exception.

Let's Talk About Vocal Challenges
To be a part of the Vocal Media Writers community on social media is to be an anthropologist majoring in imposter syndrome and grandiose delusions. I myself am not exempt from either of these descriptors. I have experienced both, and each in response to the announcement of challenge winners. As someone who has been watching (and engaging in) discussions about Vocal challenges for five months now, I have a few words of advice and some questions I would like to extend to the lovely people who make it all work.
