Current Vocal Challenges
And Some Unofficial Ones

Introduction
At this moment in time, there are eighteen Vocal Challenges which you can find here:
I do wish Vocal had a more positive image for its multi-story links.
These are the ones I have collected this month.
How I Approached Them And How I Am Approaching Them
This was how I initially approached them, intending one entry in each challenge, but then I got tempted and some, especially the poetry ones, have got more.
Oscar Wilde said:
"I Can Resist Anything But Temptation"
That is so me, although my imposter syndrome tells me that I shouldn't be entering them (but I do pay Vocal $9.99 a month to get into these challenges, and use the Quickedit) but I try and shy away from teh haiku ones as I feel lazy entering those so this one has a single entry from me, and won;t get another, though I coould flood it, as a few people seem to have done.
I keep trawling through the challenges and keep thinking I have already done that, and they are not inspiring me at the moment.
We have challenges up to December 20th this year, and I feel we will get more by Christmas.
I will also keep publishing my monthly unofficial lists as well, so these, combined with Vocal's Resources below, should give a great inspirational fallback:
I was really pleased to see a local poetry challenge with a very simple entry process yesterday, so my poem is entered in that. This is it, and you could enter if you wanted to, though I think local poets will be favoured:
Conclusion
Thank you for reading, and as you can see from this piece, I am still finding things to write about. I may find some inspiration to enter more of the existing challenges, but if not, I will look elsewhere.
There will not be another "Haunted Echoes" haiku from me.
I included "Iggy Pop's "Success" because I have successfully entered all the challenges in this current sequence. I don't always manage every challenge.

The only way to do it keep trying. I pick up the challenges I believe I can try for,
Again, thanks for letting us know. I'm going to look at it now.
Mr. Mike you are not an imposter, but a real person and writer. You always create great work, and writing is work but very enjoyable work.
I try so hard Mike but they seem to have a grudge still with me. You deserve TopStories as you put so much in and are dam good ✍️📕🏆💙😊
Thankyou for encouraging me to enter these challenges and for sharing your story xx
I always enjoy your challenge roundups. It’s great seeing how you approach them with such honesty.
