One of the reasons I decided to give the Vocal.Media site a try was because it offered so many opportunities, including the chance to participate in challenges, at least in part aimed at helping to improve our writing.
I recently noticed a challenge called Coming of Age and figured I should give that a go, even if only to get something down in writing. I found it to be an extremely interesting exercise and one that I very much enjoyed tackling.

Ponyboy, could you please tell me when you will be updating “The Prisoner of Carronne” with a new chapter? I keep looking but haven’t found your update yet. Sorry for being off topic but wasn’t sure how to contact you. I hope this does. James
Hi James. Thanks for the prompt. I’ve been feeling guilty about all my half done stories and have actually been looking at this one again in the past few weeks. I have the next chapter started and some notes on where it is going but I need to catch up up on things and make sure I have the rest of the story fresh in my mind again before I go too far with it. I’m going to re-launch PoC on the new Vocal site once I get a few new chapters under my belt. If you ‘follow’ this home page, on which I will send out a notification, you will be able to get the notification when I post anything new. Thanks very much for writing! Take care. M
