How to Defeat Writer's Block Once and For All
It's the perfect day to write a new Vocal story. You've scheduled out the morning; the coffee-filled ceramic cup feels warm in your hands as you glide to your desk. Sparrows chirp in the distance as excited fingers place themselves on a colorful keyboard.

The Authentic Human—Real Vibes Only
My dream is for every person who sits in my chair to feel comfortable being themselves and expressing exactly who they are without judgment. I find this is something that is rarely found in today's culture. Anyone can say they are accepting but making someone feel [accepted] is different. -Mary, Owner of Snipsnip Vibes

The Sting
Today, I woke up with butterflies in my stomach, and hope in my heart as I opened the internet browser on my phone and typed in “Vocal/Challenges”. I’d been impatiently waiting for days to find out the results of the Dystopian “Doomsday Diary” Challenge. I’d submitted four stories, with one in particular that I was so excited about. So, as I skimmed down the page to the recent winners, my exuberant smile started to dim as the reality hit: I didn’t win… again. I read the winning story and it was indeed fantastic, but there was still a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes when I realized it wasn’t mine.

Your 20s Are For Crying
Congratulations! You're eighteen, or nineteen or maybe even on the cusp of twenty years of age. Maybe you're just beginning? Or maybe, you stumbled here lost, after the year twenty-one; just trying to follow the light? Perhaps you’re in your early twenties drowning, seeking the enchanted glistening beacon from beyond? Maybe you're just reminiscing? Reaching one’s Saturn return and dropping in to see what unsolicited advice this author has to give.

Fun, free and fearless
I was browsing through the Oxfam used books collection when I found it. A fifteenth printing January 1967 edition of Pippi Longstocking by Astrid Lindgren, translated from the Swedish by Florence Lamborn, and illustrated by Louis S. Glanzman. I snatched it up before even giving it a second thought. Growing up this had been a childhood bedtime classic in my household. My mama herself having been immersed with the adventures of Pippi Longstocking and being well versed.

Memberful Transformed "Silas Wrote It" From a Budding Blog Into a Bountiful Business!
Hi there! My name is Dream Silas. I am the face, voice, and creator behind the Silas Wrote It blog. It is there that I blog about my own cultivated perspectives and beautiful epiphanies. The topics surround love, faith, connection, and nature. It's a wonderful pastime. One that I couldn't stop doing even if I attempted. There's just too much passion behind it. It's like an impulse. A perpetual itch.

Why I Quit Working in a Not-Quite-Right Job Past its Use-By Date
Being a barista, wearing a face mask, and standing on your feet is no easy feat; also while making sure the milk does not overheat, and the hopper grinds the right amount of coffee beans for a 30ml espresso shot.

Strong, Independent Woman
Note from the Author: To be completely honest, this is my sixth entry for the Members-Only Challenge. This contest has sparked something in me that I can hardly contain; which means I am also having trouble containing my thoughts. Every piece I write gets closer and closer to what I’m really trying to say, but it’s such a grand topic to cover in less than five thousand words. This time, though, I will focus my thoughts, feelings and desires, so that I can share with you the dream in my heart.
