cleaning out old entries and replacing with Older entries

I searched my port and found remnants of an old story and this is what I've spent my time working on today.

"Malyn's Journal Erntener 18"  and "Book: Road to Verloren Chapter 1: Settlers//with notes"  have been changed in my "freewrites: prompts, scenes, or teasers"  I am using the older entry pages to conserve space in my Portfolio and because these writings need a lot of serious rewriting and editing before the story can be published. In all, I have cleared out 10 journal entries where I plan to place older chapter versions (mostly original writings) for the basis of my Alieren's Orb Book 1: Road to Verloren Keep. These copies I am reposting in my journal which were part of my Portfolio back in 2001, 2002, and 2003. I took them out and deleted the original static items sometime in 2005 or 2006 when they had sat inactive forever. Now, I am enthusiastic about resurrecting these old tomes and breathing new life into a very old story. I will be converting my Journal: "freewrites: prompts, scenes, or teasers" into the Book eventually changing the title to reflect the content change and removing the present freewrite entries and saving those on my home computer, or rather saving those writings worth saving.

I entered my new poem

Lost  (ASR) Prompt #1 for Dark Dreamscapes Poetry Contest

into the

Invalid Item  This item number is not valid.

before going to bed. LOL I've already found some editing issues but now that it is entered into the contest I'm not allowed to touch it--No Problem I will just make my editing notes on the poem on my computer and wait until the winners are announced around the 15th of May. Note: This is what happens when I don't allow my work to rest for a day or so and looking it over again before submitting to the public. I didn't follow my number 1 editing rule--Put the work away and look at it again in a day or a week as time allows.


Meanwhile, I am composing another poem as inspired by Prompt #2...it won't be entered into the contest as the rule only one entry per person per contest round So this one will be in my portfolio as a bonus.
