My Pride In My Vocal Work
Observations On My Writing On Vocal
Introduction
Someone recently said that I do nothing but complain, and over the last six months, I have been told to shut up and not criticise Vocal. That has hurt me a lot. But...
My Pride In My Vocal Work
I have published over three thousand five hundred stories on Vocal, and with my recent issues, I realised that I am proud of all of my work, including the ones that point out the faults on Vocal, such as this:
And the benefits of Vocal, such as this
This is mainly about taking pride in my excellent work, which we should all do with our own Vocal publications. These are two previous pieces I wrote about my work, which you can go into from my profile, if you choose:
As I went back, I began to realise that my audience had grown and a lot of my friends were unaware of my older pieces. In fact, some are so old that Vocal did not have the facility to comment when they were published.
So I started to reshare by republishing the old stories that I thought might catch people's interest, and quite a few have. One example was this one:
Conclusion
I feel I have progressed since starting on Vocal, and while I have not been very successful in terms of Vocal Challenges and Bonuses, I have been very successful in building an audience and getting people to read my work.
I have also been very supportive of creators, and many have been very supportive of me, and I am thankful for that, especially with the Tips from creators when I was getting no recognition from Vocal.
Thank you for reading, and this is where I started out on Vocal five years back:

Side Quest Goal Achieved: Placing an Alien Claim
This is a post that has me quite ecstatic. It's funny, I thought it was going to be one of my usual, "Hey, I achieved another one of my goals and checked it off" type deals. And it sort of is. But it sort of isn't. And it's also one of my greatest writing accomplishments of late.

I guess I'm one of those someone who said "I do nothing but complain". You have to stop seeing yourself as a victim Mike. You know we all love your work. But thing is, you do get Top Stories. When someone congratulates you, you say it must have been an accident Vocal awarded you that. You gotta stop putting yourself down like that. You do have Challenge Placements as well. But I've seen people who has 25+ Placements in Challenges who still complain. So I really don't know what to say about that As for the Leaderboard, you do end up there too but you dismiss it again saying must have been an accident. You need to celebrate your wins Mike. You deserve it. You're an excellent writer! I'm so sorry if whatever I said came across as harsh. My intention wasn't to hurt or offend you. But you gotta stop thinking that everyone hates you or Vocal hates you
You should always have pride in your work! I'm proud of you for sure!
