My Favourite Writing Method
Who else has struggled with their writing because they feel they MUST go in order, from beginning of the book to the end of the book?

Small Stories
Introduction A while back Vocal dropped its limits on certain communities for certain challenges. While part of me was against this being permanent, I have come around to the thought that this could be beneficial at times for creators, including myself.

The First Piece
It always amazes me when I think back to the first piece of writing I ever wrote. The one that I could call my own, the characters included. And it always amazes me to see where I am now, versus back then.

4 Long Years As A Vocal Writer
I started my eventful writing relationship with Vocal four years ago, and I’m truly happy that I did. As I reflect on why I’m here, I remember that I wanted this to be a space where I could be vulnerable, honest, and even if I didn’t win any cash I’d at least get to express myself in a way that I don’t feel as comfortable to in other spaces as a Black man. So, as I read through the many different prompts I’ve tackled, I admire how I followed through with writing pieces that I felt wouldn’t win but were still necessary to write. Whether they would be viewed as too political, too Black, too sad, or too different. I also admire that my writing has never been flagged, and I’ve never felt discouraged to share my story.

THE BUTTERFLY AND THE BATHROOM
Once upon a bright morning, in the quiet confines of a bathroom, I encountered a most peculiar sight, a revolting, yucky green worm. Its appearance, though harmless, sent shivers down my spine. Oddly my mood that day was quite buoyant. I swear= the mere thought of harming an ant would sting my conscience. But when I'm feeling down, I don't care about crushing any pitiful being that cross my path.

5 Ways to Improve Your Writing
Write Consistently It doesn’t matter if you’re inspired or not, you need to make a plan and write every day. Of course it’s not going to be good every time, because first drafts and brainstorming is the first step. But the more often you write, the easier it will get, and the more content you’ll actually make. When writing a first draft, it’s not about perfection, but about finishing the story. You can work on the rest later.

My first writing
My first time writing with a hope of payment or earning reads was on a website much like this called helium. You wrote for different subjects, earned from read and entered competitions. From this site I did a few writing jobs for various websites and personal hires. At the time I was happy to earn enough to pay for the monthly internet bill.

Gardens of Dreams
In the heart of a bustling city, hidden behind an unassuming wrought iron gate, lay a garden unlike any other. It wasn't just a garden of blooming flowers and winding pathways; it was a sanctuary where dreams came to life. The Garden of Dreams, as it came to be known, was a place where the boundaries between imagination and reality blurred, and the most extraordinary visions found their footing.
