Mad Libs - I think these are often overlooked. I remember buying the books when I was younger and finding them hilarious. I could spend hours of time filling them in! If you're finding it difficult to come across a good one, why not try creating one? Don't forget to test it out and have your friends try it, too!
Quizzes - Test your knowledge with trivia quizzes! One other type of quiz that is really popular (and has been for decades) is the Personality Type Quiz. I recently came across a "What Your Literary Crush Says About You" quiz online, and I wasn't particularly impressed with the results. I'm tempted to write one myself! I don't see too many of those quizzes on WDC. Why not try to make one?
Product Reviews - Many of us have a goal of how many books we'd like to read in 2014. Reading is great for about a thousand reasons, and one of those is thinking critically about what you've read. (One of the best advice many successful writers give is: Read as much as you can!) One great way to think about what you've read is to complete a Product Review about it. FYI, Product Reviews aren't just for books! You can review films, video games and even music!
Review - Sometimes I feel like a cheerleader for Reviewing. I'm constantly and consistently working to encourage members to review. It's just one of the most rewarding things you can do on our site, and it's what keeps the site going! You can really pile up the gift points by reviewing through the many rewards, but it can also strengthen your writing by looking critically at others' writing. Admittedly, I used to review a lot more than I do currently, but I try to get a review or two in when I have some free time. It's always worth it.
