Day 2 of the Blogging Scavenger Hunt

It's WDC - 25th Birthday Blog / Scavenger Hunt

September 2nd
There are multiple contests celebrating WDC's 25th year. Name at least five of them and participate in one of them. Post your answers in a blog entry telling us what motivated you to do that contest. ( * no one sentence responses allowed) Do you like doing contests in general. What's your favorite one during the year?

I love this time of year. This whole month is full of contests and activities. I signed up for this blogging scavenger hunt "It's WDC- 25th Birthday"  early and am enjoying it so far.... I do appreciate that today is not as challenging as yesterday. I don't know if I could handle the daily hard challenges. I will admit I did have fun searching yesterday and I learned a few new things. That's always a bonus.

Aside from this contest, I signed up early for the Masquerade Party "Wdc 25th Birthday Masquerade Party" . I am incognito as Joan Watson from the TV show Elementary. So far I have posted twice on the first day. "

Gotta get away...."   and "

Checking in upon arrival"  . I like to tell my own story interwoven throughout the party itself... it's crazy overwhelming because you have to stay on top of the forum and read EVERYTHING! I am committed to sticking right to the end this year. It runs for two weeks.

I also signed on to the "Blog Week Birthday Bastion 2025" . I wrote my blog yesterday and forgot to post it until this morning.

I entered the Writer's Cramp yesterday with "September 1 Entry - WDC 2050"  . I expect I will try to enter a few more times as the week progresses. The gift point prizes are higher than they usually are for this week only. I may get lucky, and if not, I will have fun with the prompts.

I am also thinking of doing the "Jane Austen Writing Contest 250 Years" . I have a month to work on this one.

A new contest is the "Golden Apples Writing Contest Forum" . It is new to Writing.com. I may check it out as well. The prompt is writing a story with apples...

I had thought to write something for "Journey Through Genres: Official Contest"  but I signed up as a judge for this back in July. Don't think I am allowed to enter something I judging. Not to worry.

I am a huge fan of Writing.com contests and challenges. I usually sign up for the "I Write in 2025 "  contests each year - sadly, this year's challenge is drawing to a close. It keeps me on my toes and writing every week.

I have also signed on to "The Bradbury"  this year. The challenge is to write 52 short stories in 52 weeks. I am behind, but not too far.

Another contest I love it "The Contest Challenge"  which requires me to enter a contest from a select group each month. Weird thing is, this month it is all contests I don't see in Party Central. Not sure why that is, but hey, I will do one of those as well.

Do I have a favourite? I love them all. If I could I would try them all, but I know my time is not infinite, so I will go with the Masquerade Party and this blogging scavenger hunt because A Warped Witch I Be is one of my favourite people. My all time favourite is virtual traveling with Blog City! That was a blast.... and so much cheaper than actually traveling.

Time to get on with other contests now....
