Well, I’m 100% certain that I won’t be using Vocal.
I tried to publish a story but there weren’t enough words in it. Minimum number of words is 600. That kind of means that there would be no picture posts.
Next, once I got the minimum number of words and submitted my story for publication, it took them 24 hours to tell me that there was a “technical issue” and that they would be contacting me within the next 24 hours.
They contacted me and said that due to the “technical issue,” they had created a new draft and asked me to re-create my post. Well, I did. I was extremely fortunate that I had created it in Word, and saved it.
After pasting everything into the new draft, I submitted it for publishing. It was approved. Unfortunately, here’s what they approved:
Seriously? They couldn’t even be bothered to removed ‘NEW DRAFT -” from my title.
Unfortunately, one cannot edit one’s stories. One has to contact Vocal and ask them to edit it. Well, I have requested them to edit it twice now. Today I got an email stating that their offices are closed for the weekend and will re-open Monday.
So here I am with a published story—my first—that makes me look like an absolute idiot.
Nope. Vocal is too onerous for me to try to do something with it. Amazing that in today’s world with all this instantaneous stuff we do, there still is a site that makes you wait 24-72 hours for appropriate service.
Nope, nope, and nopitty nope.
