Ups and Downs
This is a short drabble of my ups and downs here on Vocal, and it seems that there have been many ups and quite a few downs for me and my writing here. I do I feel a lot of reading and commenting on others work here, but where I do have a few loyal followers over these past five years it seems that even though I have recently been on the Leaderboard and received a few TS's it always seems that my stats are always going down more than up I guess that is that darn algorithm I guess.

Writing About Writing: The End
A lot of people say that the hardest thing about writing a book (or script, or comic) is starting it. Choosing where to begin, not to mention how the story should start, picking a good opening line to hook the readers, and of course the process of writing an entire story from start to finish. It's a daunting challenge. However, in my opinion there is something even more important: How to end it.

Fueling Success: How Physical Health Powers Workplace Performance
A healthy body lays the groundwork for sharp mental performance. When individuals engage in regular physical activity, their bodies increase blood circulation and oxygen flow to the brain. As a result, cognitive functions such as memory, focus, and decision-making improve significantly. This biological response strengthens the ability to process information quickly and accurately during demanding work situations.

From System Failure to Human Error: My Journey Through Words ✍️
Writing, for me, is a process that borders on the magical—the art of precision in word choice, the unfolding of complex thoughts, and, most importantly, the act of creating something out of absolute nothingness. It is a craft I’ve fallen in love with, even though it can be as fickle as it is rewarding. 🌌 My literary journey began with a deeply personal, raw reckoning with my past in the book "404: Reality Not Found", where I chronicled the difficult path from the darkness of addiction back to the land of the living. 🕯️ Today, my pen has turned toward pure fiction—specifically, dark sci-fi set in a world dominated by algorithms: "Human.exe Error 0x000". 🤖💻

The Accidental Novelist
I never intended to write a novel. But I did. And HarperCollins published it. Titled The Gorgeous Girls, it was based on a number of pieces I'd written for Toronto's NOW magazine. They appeared in NOW's feature, Naked City, which was all about love and sex.

Fading Ink
The box was never meant to be opened. It had lived quietly on the highest shelf of my childhood closet, taped at the corners, labeled in my own looping handwriting: “Important — Do Not Throw Away.” I used to think anything I labeled important would remain that way forever.

Alone in the Jungle
The canopy is so dense that it suffocates all light. I am slashing through the dense boscage to get to the light, but I don’t know which way to go, or if I will ever get out of the forest. This jungle feels often filled with peril, and lonely. I came to this tangle of vines, underbrush, and unknown unfamiliar territory, with a dream, a goal, a determination. I planned and still plan to reach the end of the primeval and reach the inner sanctum of a place that is not easily traversed. I am a writer, and I want to write as a career.

Going Back A Bit
Introduction When I was unable to publish, I started going back to find stories that I could repurpose, but then I saw old pieces that I thought were still excellent but had very little interaction from other Vocal creators. So I had a thought....
