Hi, I'm Elle. I'm based in Auckland, New Zealand. I'm the mother of two young adults, the wife of an entrepreneurial gamer and the Queen of Unfinished Projects. This blog will contain poems, short stories, possibly photos and book reviews if you're lucky, and my thoughts on a variety of topics. Hope you enjoy it.

There are 22 item types available for members to create, but only a handful make up the majority of content on the site. Is there any item type available to you that you've never created? Any that you've never read? Any tool or feature on WDC that you haven't tried? Why not? What are the benefits of having these extra features available on a site dedicated to writing? ~ "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" Open in new Window.

Ooh, looks like it's time for a list!

Interestingly, Caitie Author Icon has tried most of the ones that I haven't. *Smile* I've participated in most of the ones I haven't created, like an interactive, a campfire, a crossword, a word search, a madlib and a quiz... I just haven't made my own ones.

I definitely notice the lack of some item types when doing Quills. Static items and book entries make up the vast majority of Quill nominations. It can sometimes be hard to find enough quality interactive items to even award the category. So I'd love for people to make more of those items, even though I obviously don't follow my own advice. Hmm...
