Letter from the editor

Birthday Celebration!


WDC has an important milestone coming up in September, a birthday! Our community will be turning nine in a month and we all can celebrate. If you run a contest with continuing rounds, think about running a special round in honor of our community.

If you like to create crossword puzzles or wordsearches, how about creating one with clues pertaining to our site? Or perhaps an In and Out or a Madlib that tells a fun story about our community?

Perhaps a long-term member can create something to show members what it was like to belong to Stories.com. The StoryMaster Author IconMail Icon has developed this site into an international gathering for worldwide authors. What country are you from and how did you find us?

Now is the time to start thinking about developing a birthday item. It takes time to format your item, make or purchase banners and gather GPs or prizes. If it is a large contest, you'll need to recruit judges and helpers for the competition.

You'll need to advertise! Bid GPs for advertising space in the Bid Click system. There is a tutorial here: "The Writing.Com BidClick System" Open in new Window. to learn how to advertise your contests or work on our site. You can get a lot of visitors to your portfolio if you advertise.

Help make this Writing.com birthday special and create something fun for our members to do to celebrate. There's nothing more wonderful than community participation and fun. Write on!
