Election
i just rewatched Election, more villanelle of regret antidote; sometimes the soul needs a dark comedy with an antihero, and Election’s metahumor feeds me what I need. The tropes are bearable because they’re intentional; the way this movie makes fun of itself charms me with it’s cleverness.

Vocal Vs Medium Vs Substack
There was an extended period of time where writing became close to impossible for me. Mental health issues took me down and made it hard to sit down and focus on the words and ideas that are constantly swirling inside my head, begging to be noticed. After getting back to the doctor and getting well, I am now in a creative space where I cannot wait to sit down and write. With that in mind, I am sharing my words everywhere, but which of the main platforms is best? Read on and find out.

The Cons of Being a Writer
I am a writer, not a professional writer yet just freelance writing everywhere including Vocal Media, a playwright, and a screenwriter. If you ask me being a writer may be easy however it can be a challenge just like any other job or career whether you are just writing or degree seeking writer. There are key points that you need to know if you are going to be a writer you might want to think about if you are planning to be one. You may not like it however it is the harsh truth on being a writer.

the girl unseen by her beauty
looking at herself all she sees is flaws, not noticing her doll eyes, her cupid shaped lips, her nose that perfectly alines with her face. all she could notice was how much she ate that previous day and how people would feel about her the next.

What's Happening On Vocal?
Introduction I have never appeared on the "What's Happening" and since October have not received a Top Story or honourable mention, and on the 23rd of November, Vocal stopped me from posting on my main account, then ignored (and are still ignoring my emails and tickets) the situation.

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.”
