I can't find my favorite interactive. Does anyone know which one I'm talking about? CRISIS AVERTED! It's called
I thought it was called something like Rotten Wishes? I checked my favorites and I have no saved interactives there, so I hope it's not deleted. Eek! Update: I checked and it IS favorited -- not sure why it didn't come up when I searched for all interactives in my favorites. Can you not do that? It was really fast and easy to write in. In it, you ruined the last person's wish and then wrote your own. For example, if the past person said they wished for a million dollars, you might say... Poof! You have a million dollars! You begin throwing bills into the air gleefully and imaging all the wonderful ways you'll spend them. Suddenly, a SWAT team is pounding on your door with a battering ram telling you your place is surrounded and demanding you give yourself up for the bank robbery earlier this morning. I wish to be popular. What interactive is this? Is it gone? I can't find it. I hope it's just a Schnjo moment. Update: No surprise. It was a Schnujo moment. But why could I find it when I searched all of WdC for interactives, but I couldn't find it in my own favorites when I had it saved as a favorite? Things that make you go, "Hmm..." |

NaNoWriMo is Ending Well, all you anti-NaNo folks will be happy to hear that they are shutting it down after the last couple of years of drama. Personally, I'm super sad to see National Novel Writing Month go and I definitely hope we continue the tradition here, including
It's one of my favorite activities on WdC. And, yeah, I'm even including my own. Lol https://lithub.com/nanowrimo-is-shutting-down/ Goodbye, NaNo! You will be missed!  If you have anything on there you want to save, you should go get it ASAP. I don't know how long the site will remain up. I'm going to go to my favorite section -- Adoption Society. They have tons of ideas for the taking. You can take as many as you want and use/change them as much as you need. It's a goldmine IMO. |
Elycia Lee ☮ Raya  - Yes contests and activities and generous members. I am in Bradbury and I Write. Halfway in I Write almost. I am going to be at 10 of 25 entries soon. Computer still work after October 14th? I don't know. It's Windows 10. If it can't upgrade to Windows 11 then I need a new one. Libre is compatible with Word I think. |
| Sad to know the troubles they had. Hope someone or group saves it. |
For those who can't draw, but have a specific idea in mind, AI (at least ChatGPT) can now take your drawing and turn it into an image (so no more worrying about stealing other artists' work). Check out starting around minute 12. If you decide to watch from the beginning, (it's over 17 minutes long, either he didn't noticed one of the ChatGPT images has "a a' or he hoped we wouldn't notice. lol |
Jeremy  - Uh, at the risk of offending, I was going to say that it was obvious at first glance that the 1st one was written by a human because the 2nd one seemed to be trying too hard and had too much in it and I just didn't like it as well. But then I saw the typo and realized it was probably written by a human. Oopsie! So, uh, yeah, if this was written by you, I totally understand if you now block me. Hahaha! It doesn't mean my response it the "right" one, but I did prefer the 1st one. (Remember, I have a brain injury, so I'm not to be trusted. lol) Alas, it's not a skill I possess Bruce.  , so I was excited by the idea of being able to create something from my head. I've tried to describe things from my head, but AI doesn't usually make what I'm thinking. (I really need to work on prompt generation.) But if I can draw it, even poorly, that might help. While this might not be exciting for you, it definitely is for me! I've used AI for years with GPS, Google searches, Hulu recommendations, Canva filters, etc. But now I can actually (maybe/hopefully) use it for something creative. Exciting for me! |
It's Everyone's Favorite Month! Well, if you're a poet, that is... National Poetry Month!
celebrates it every year in honor of eyestar~*  (who apparently hasn't been able to get her white case yet -- I didn't realize that). She's the one who insisted that every month of "The Contest Challenge"  contain at least 1 poetry option, though especially back when I first started "The Contest Challenge" , poetry contests were harder to come by. But at her urging/pestering/complaining, I started including poetry contests and have stuck to it ever since. When I started creating dedicated months, I decided to celebrate National Poetry Month on "The Contest Challenge" to make up for all the months of no poetry contests at all in the beginning of my challenge. Though I admit that I do sometimes include a contest that allows both poems and stories, if I happen to run across one, simply to prevent whining from the storywriters. Though I don't generally purposefully seek one out for April. If I find one, great. But the early poets who joined "The Contest Challenge" suffered for months while eyestar~* worked to convince me that poetry contests needed to be included every single month so the storywriters can suffer for one month a year. And there you have it! That's the history of this challenge celebrating National Poetry Month!
 Only for members here less than 1 year -- enter while you can! If you find a contest you love, be sure to fan it by clicking the link and double clicking the heart in the upper right corner of the contest forum until the heart turns gold/yellow.  If you click the hearts on the links above, that fans the owners of the contests, which is a great idea, too! |
Tomorrow is National Virtual Vacation Day in the U.S. (Yeah, there are a lot of obscure "holidays" no one actually celebrates...or even knows exists. lol) I found this and thought some of you might enjoy it. You mostly just need to be able to click, drag, and sometimes use the back button to enjoy these virtual tours.  Here are 100 free virtual tours from all over the world.  https://medium.com/brightnow/100-free-virtual-vacations-and-online-tours-familie... |
| TheBusmanPoet , that's so awesome! They are lucky you found them, though I'm sure the same can be said for them finding you. My current lifestyle isn't really conducive to having pets of any sort, but I would want to raise endangered animal breeds to save them from extinction. |
Schnujo's Giving Away GPs  - You do what you can, as you can. That would be nice to take care of endangered species. I often bring wildlife babies who are abandoned and left to die to our States wildlife rehab center. I just delivered to them a baby squirrel about 2 weeks ago. I got to him in time and they are no raising him and once grown will be released into the wild. I'm retired as is my wife so we can take the time and give the care that these animals need. I will do this until I'm unable or not around any longer but until then, I will be their caretakers until they pass. They will know warm welcoming home, good food and treats, love, compassion and empathy because in the end, The Cat Knows.  |
| Optionally, if I decide to go to the shelter, black dogs and black cats have the hardest time getting adopted, so I may just go that direction. They're cheaper than an endangered dog or cat breed lol |
Time is running out for the March contests in
Check them out while you can...
Anyone can enter this contest.
Only for members of WdC 1 year or less.
You must have entered the 1st week, if you want to enter other weeks.
Deadline was March 13. Remember to fan the contests and owners you love the most with a double click until their heart turns gold! |
| Well, you can do any consecutive 12 months, so April 2024 - March 2025 or January 2025 - December 2025 or whatever floats your boat and I allow catching up, so if it takes you 3 years to do those 12 months, it's okay. If you ever do other contests, check the Previously Highlighted Contests dropnotes to see if I have highlighted that contest (doing a quick Ctrl F helps) so you can get that entry to count because you can't do the contest entry, then later come back and try to count it for the challenge when you weren't actively participating in the challenge. But you can participate in the challenge, hit or miss, a month here or there, as you enter contests, until you manage to fill in 12 consecutive months. But if all you do is Promptmaster, yeah, I doubt I'll end up highlighting it 12 times in a row. lol |
If you haven't checked out
definitely do! What a fun challenge! And, you know, MBs are involved, so what could be better? |
| Thank you, Jody! I have a related challenge, too.. "Note: We are doing a Merit Badge Magic Mash UP! ..." |
Just want to brag that I know the guy from this podcast. Lol The podcast is ranked #4 out of 70 for best podcasts for writers. https://www.facebook.com/share/195KKXhkHH/ |
Last of the Giant January Celebrations of the Season! Yeah, it's not January anymore. I'm behind schedule. Just appreciate my disorganization. lol Last chance to earn 15k per MB for this year's events! Expires Monday at midnight (unless you message me about needing additional time for CRs). This is to celebrate the following people who have done all 8 years of
Soldier_Mike  👼intuey  dogpack saving 4premium+  Angel bunny Easter eggs galore  🌻 pwheeler ~ love joy peace Bunny Sox  Kit  💙 Carly - March into spring  Choconut  Lovina And if you add me, Schnujo's Giving Away GPs , to your list, I'll give you an additional 15k because I love MBs, too. For your copy/paste convenience, here's a list of all 11 of us to put into the To section of the MBs so you can send them all at once.  mikewrites, intuey, vpbanjo, dragonfish, pwheeler, rinsoxy, kittee, carly1967, purplesunday, lovina, schnujo If you opt to leave me off, be sure to delete the last comma after lovina. To ensure your MBs qualify for reimbursement...  MBs must mention "The Contest Challenge" . You can use the item alias TCC -- {item:tcc} or the item number {item:2109126} All MBs must qualify for CRs (community recognition points -- the numbers by our names) meaning you didn't see a red warning on the confirmation screen. If you see that red warning, note how long you have to wait for CRs to kick in and notify me if you want to wait. You can send the rest of the MBs, but remove that person from your list and we can discuss you having to wait and getting your GPs later when you send the MB(s). Must post below or email me for reimbursement. Please let me know how many MBs you sent. If you are waiting for CRs for anyone, please let me know that, too. If you send to all 10 celebrants, plus me, you'll spend 110k (unless you've not used your free MB for this 30-day period yet, then you'll spend 110k) and receive 165k GPs. If you are short on GPs, let me know and I'll send you some ahead of time. I can easily see if you've sent the MBs, so I'm happy to send the GPs. Note: I have a client dying in the hospital, so there will likely be significant delays (4-5 hrs or more) for some people getting paid, depending on when I'm notified. I will try to stay on it, but obviously, decorum. |
Oh no! Somehow I missed the part about your client dying. My heart goes out to you, your client, and the client's loved ones.  |
| 🌻 pwheeler ~ love joy peace , thank you. He passed away last night at 7:38. I feel for his family, but it now cuts out 2 hrs of driving I was doing daily to and from hospice (30 minutes each way, 2 trips/day), so there's that. And since I was sometimes there with him until after midnight because the family didn't want him alone, I'll be getting more sleep now. |
Schnujo's Giving Away GPs - You are so dedicated to your clients. I'm sure your presence meant a lot to him and his family. Praying for peace and comfort for you all.  |

While helping dogpack saving 4premium+ with something, look what I came across!
I didn't even know this existed. Apparently, I'm missing out on a LOT of cool features! |
| It is definitely expensive, Bodhisattwa Parekh . But if it makes you feel any better, I doubt you truly need it anyway. Thank you for all your thoughts on websites, GERVIC. I'm actually looking at making one of my own in the not too distant future (makes vague hand gesture). I appreciate your comments. Elycia Lee ☮ Raya, thank you for mentioning you like J.K. Rowling's website. I'll definitely have to check it out! One of the (many, many) things holding me back from making a website is not being sure how to do with it / how to make it look. I'll see what I think of hers. Thank you! |
We don't offer any of that stuff anymore... That whole thing really needs to go away. There are really good options out there for web design and hosting and we ditched trying to keep up with any of that long long ...  |
The StoryMaster  - Luckily, I haven't gotten around to reading it yet, so I don't even know what I thought I was missing. Hahaha! Glad I could help you find another thing to put on your To-Do list. lol |
