Drop In Fun


Long contests and activities are great fun and you get an opportunity to network and make friends. But what about the members who don't have the time or energy to commit to long-term activities? Some of the fun things I love to do on our site are ones I can drop into when I have time. Think about creating something fun!

When creating these types of activities, I suggest letting the prompt stand for a week or two, but not too long. When someone is enjoying the fun, they'll bookmark and look back for the next round. Whether the item is seasonal or evergreen, think about promoting it in the "Activities @ Writing.Com" Open in new Window. [E] promotion forums and with BidClick ads.

If you're looking for something fun to do, there are silly games like Madlibs, In & Outs, and Crossword puzzles. Challenge yourself to create one and entertain those who enjoy playing the games. There are also daily contests that don't require a large amount of writing and keep your muse tickled.

Enjoy!
