More Ramblings About My Writing On Vocal

Introduction

Every so often I feel I am running out of things to write about, although I have ideas for four pieces to write, but my inherent laziness is preventing me from doing this, so instead, I am going to write (once more) about how I manage to continue writing.

I feel that might writing has no identity like my accent, but then people on the North American landmass all seem to love my non-accent, and I suppose my name on the Vocal Story is a draw for some, and toxic rubbish for others to avoid.

I started this on Saturday morning and then I decided to can it because it is just me talking about me, and who would be seriously interested in that?

Writing So Much

I always think that I should write something different, and that means that people really don't know what is going to come next from me, and to be quite honest I never know what is going to come next. This means that people may be put off by the uncertainty of my writing.

My biggest Vocal Communities are Beat (where I am at the time that this is being written, a Top Creator) and Poets although I have posted in every community, and I am not sure if any other Vocal Creator has done that.

The thing is I complain about the number of Haiku poems being published that I cannot take them in because there are so many being submitted and posted, but I now feel that is how people must see my writing, just too much, and that scares people off from reading my work. That is my own paranoia and I do tell people that I don’t expect everyone to read every story that I publish.

Observations On Others

I do see some writers who seem to focus on one or two communities of subjects and if that brings them in reads then that is good. Concentrating properly on a single area can hone your skills and make your work much more readable, and usually, these people get far more reads than I do,

I also know that they plan their work far better than I do (though seriously I don’t plan) so they should have a head start on me)

But Am I That Different?

I am probably unskilled even in my main subject areas. I have only started writing poetry properly since joining Vocal, and given that there is a one hundred word limit for poems, in theory, it should be much quicker to publish a poem rather than a piece of prose. Actually, my main forms of poetry are villanelle and sonnet and they can sometimes take a lot of hard work to put together to my own satisfaction, so three hours is usually the average time.

I seem to be blessed with a large vocabulary so that does help in creating any form of writing including this one.

I try to vary my writing, but rather than being planned and controlled it is more of a scattergun approach. So I have this, then three music pieces, then a poem or two, and really I should produce some new fiction, but only the music pieces have any semblance of planning to them, the poetry and fiction are as much a mystery to me as they are to you.

Conclusion

So that's just some of my incoherent ramblings on how I put together my Vocal stories, or rather why I put together those stories. I hope it has not disturbed you too much.
