Keep Going Until I Make it Big
For the past six years since I have been on Vocal Media, I have published poetry, excerpt scripts, music critiques, film and TV critiques, biographies, celebrities, where are they now stories, true crime stories, personal stories, gadgets, tech, and history. Before I signed up on Vocal Media, I was unemployed and an aspiring writer trying to find a writing gig just to get my work to be noticed. I had completed my first play which had been unproduced and I was a stay-at-home single mother to my loving autistic son Xavier.

Actors who portrayed Willy Wonka
These were actors who played the role of a man who fulfilled our world of pure imagination or should I say Roald Dahl's creation. Started as a best-selling novel to film adaptations to a Broadway musical adaptation. These actors played the charming, gentle, and funny chocolatier Willy Wonka.

How 'The Grinch' Became an Icon
He was the cruel, evil green-animated Ebenezer Scrooge of our childhood props to author Dr. Seuss for making the Grinch a Christmas icon. The Grinch is based on the 1957 children's illustrated book How the Grinch Stole Christmas introduces the Grinch, a green, furry, Pot-bellied, pear-shaped, snub-nosed humanoid creature with a cat-like face and cynical personality who hates Christmas and decides to rob everybody's gifts and holiday decorations down in Whoville to make them feel sad. The story would be adapted in a 1966 short television special, a television series, a 2000 live-action film, a 2018 animation film, musicals, and a song written by the author himself that would be the theme song fitted for the Grinch.
