Hello writers. I am happy to pop in as guest editor for this edition. There are so many cool activities to create and explore to interact and have fun showing off our unique expressions and creativity. Enjoy these bits and bytes on contests and blog events. 
A Second Look. 
There are so many interesting contests to enter and opportunities to get your items noticed, read and even reviewed. Many authors answer the call of a prompt or theme, challenging themselves, revealing their skills, just for the fun, challenge and maybe a hope to win a prize among peers. As a judge, it can be really hard to choose winners when everyone does amazing and original work. Lucky there are rules and even some guidelines to help us decide on winners. 
And we all know, if it is a contest, only a few can be chosen to win!
Did you know there are some contests around now that will receive "older" and un-awarded pieces as qualifying items. So you could enter one of those other entries for a second look!
I don't know who first came up with the idea but it is awesome. 
I do not remembering seeing such contests when I first joined and it is fun to sometimes go back and look at my older works that might fit in a contest now. As long as they follow theme or prompt so Make sure to read rules to be sure!
To Blog or Not? 
I am not really a typical blogger and yet since joining WDC have been lured into some cool blogging type activities that appealed to my muse! I noticed that someone was doing a poetry blog and that became an idea for my first blog...just sharing poems! 
Then there were blogging activities that used pictures as prompts, or music as prompts, and even a sharing favourite poetry for a month. I discovered that there was blogging for every one! 
Blogging is a popular activity for writers and it is cool to get to know others and find such different styles.
I am sure many of you bloggers may know of 
If you like to read Blogs as I do, you can find recent blog entries under the Side bar Tab "Bloggers" or check out your favourite authors' Port to see if they have a Blog Tab! 
Here you can even enter 3 entries for the prompts.
