Why I Stopped Trying to be Productive at 6AM
I used to pressure myself, nonstop, to wake up at 6 AM because every "successful" person online said that's what grown adults do. According to the adults online, if you weren't up before sunrise, writing in your journal, and drinking a green smoothie, your life was basically a failure waiting to happen. I believed what the adults online said. I became miserable, not understanding why waking up early didn't transform me into a hyper glowing version of myself.

2025: The Final Countdown
Go ahead. Hum that song if you want to. Greetings, Vocal readers. 2026 will be here before you know it. For now, we're eager to finish 2025 on a high note. It has been a long year, especially for me as a writer on Vocal. Us writers have been busy writing and publishing our stories to reach our audiences. As I approach 400 stories on Vocal, I look back and am proud of how far I've come since joining this platform in 2018. The bigger question is this: Will I be able to reach the special milestone of 500 stories written and published around this time next year? It's a huge longshot, but it's not impossible either. In the almost eight years that I've been a writer on Vocal, I have yet to win a challenge. However, these writing challenges motivate me to use them as an incentive to strive even harder. That's one of the goals that I'm trying to pursue in 2026. I've received a few honors in the past, which is always very appreciative.

This Was My Best Fucking Piece (And It Still Lost)
There’s a particular kind of heartbreak that only writers know— the moment you hit “submit,” whisper a shaky prayer to the literary gods, and then, days or weeks later, open an email that starts with the word “Unfortunately.”

I Googled My Pen Name And Book Title
It was a Google driven by utter frustration. Why was I frustrated- and how did that lead to a Google of myself? My audiobook. It passed Quality control. It was approved on https://voices.inaudio.com. It has been distributed to 31 platforms. I had announced my release date as December 17th. I wanted to put it on pre-order. Completely forgot it can take up to 30 days or more before your stuff is actually published on these platforms.
