Can We Stop Writing Stories with Titles That Are Questions Now Please?. Top Story - August 2023.
Author's preface: Another story that was mysteriously not approved for publication the first time around. Somehow my account got flagged as AI or spam. Flattered but obviously not true. I am a real person I can assure you of that. Also, there is no such thing as AI, but that is a topic for a different article. LOL!

How has my writing changed?
Based on my first piece, Bipolar Disorder, and my most recent poem (since that is what I usually write), Without You, there have been only a few changes that I am able to notice.

First Challenge, First Win
I’ve been reading stories since I was young, probably early teenage years. It was just a coincidence that my father bought a Harry Potter collection for entertainment on a train when we visited Egypt for a holiday (vacation), but since then I was hooked in the immersive world these stories can create. I continued reading and even learned English while reading these books after coming to live in the UK.

Destiny
My First Story I don't remember my exact age when I wrote my first story, but everything else about the day is as clear in my memory as the moment any other protagonist realises their destiny.

The Lost Treasure of Atlantis - four possible endings
The four possible endings: • The crystal granted them their deepest wishes: Jack wished to become a famous explorer who traveled around the world, discovering new places and cultures; Lily wished to become a successful writer who published best-selling books based on her adventures with Jack. They were happy and fulfilled, but they forgot about Atlantis and King Atlas, who remained in their eternal sleep.

The Lost Treasure of Atlantis - Part Two
He also knew that he and his people could not survive in the modern world, which was very different from the world they had known. They had no allies or friends, only enemies and strangers. They had no place or purpose in the world, only confusion and despair.

The Lost Treasure of Atlantis - Part One
Jack and Lily were two adventurous siblings who loved exploring ancient ruins and solving mysteries. They had heard many legends about the lost city of Atlantis, a mythical civilization that sank into the ocean thousands of years ago. They wanted to find out if Atlantis was real, and if so, where it was located and what secrets it hid.

In the bustling landscapes of cities, where all eyes seem glued to the intricate streets and towering buildings, there lies a hidden world that most have yet to uncover. This is a world of untapped potential, concealed atop the roofs of our urban centers. Can you believe that these small, forgotten spaces could be transformed into green oases, while simultaneously serving as energy sources and creative havens?

In the Making: A Good Citizen
And so it began: Molly liked to start her day by cleaning her apartment, like any good citizen would. She was alone in the house, now. Then again, Molly always remembered being alone.

Looking back
I started writing long before I signed up to Vocal, but I have always struggled to stay focused and motivated. The appeal of Vocal Media was the ability to self-publish. Prior to finding this platform, my options were to post on social media or just keep my writing to myself until I produced a full manuscript. Neither option appealed to me. I have worked out over the years that one of my weaknesses is my lack of attention span. I tend to be easily distracted and do not enjoy sitting still for any length of time. I have often found that if I get stuck on a section of a story or writing project, if I walk away and change my activity, I can compose what I want in my head and return to finish the segment to my satisfaction.

What Type of Stories Are Making Money on Vocal Media Website
In my opinion, writing for Vocal Media is a better option than writing on Medium. Vocal Media regularly provides new challenges that can earn you at least $500, which can be a great motivator to write longer stories.
