Letter from the editor

You're the Designated Winner!


This whole month of November, there is a good number of writers here on the site that have tied up all of their energy into hammering out one first draft. Only one!

While they are laboring on that, you have 30 days to have the site pretty much to yourself. Go check out all of those contests I link to in the Editor's Picks. You should find several with prompts that you'll want to write for. And ... (except for the Writer's Cramp) you get plenty of time to rewrite. No need to only work on a first draft.

Let it rip in those contests! And win them all!



Would you like to collect the above trinket? Take part in this challenge that goes until November 24, 2019:

Post a current and active contest to the contest page. It doesn't have to be yours, but it can't already be on the page.

Writing Contests on Writing.Com are posted here.

Or, post a current and active activity to the activity page. Again, it doesn't have to be yours, but it can't already be on the page.

To collect the trinket, you must reply to this newsletter through the "Send a comment or question to the editor!" section.

In recent months, these two pages had fallen victim to everyone using the Newsfeed to advertise their contests and activities. In order for all of us to find the most things to participate in, we should make an effort to have them easily found.

Ask & Answer

My last Contest & Activities newsletter "Finding Pieces of a Puzzle" Open in new Window. had a good amount of replies. And all of those who used the official Contests or Activities pages to advertise one of their items was able to collect this trinket.

Thank you for reading my newsletter and for commenting.

Thank you for using the page. Have you had more people sign up since?

Anything?

eyestar~* Author Icon wrote: This is awesome. I have often thought the same thing when I check those pages to pass current contests on to my group... so many posted are on hiatus or done for the season. Really good call to remind folks. I have not a contest running at the moment but I do always post it there as some folks do not catch all of the fun on newsfeed. Good job and great incentive!

Good to know that you will post your activities and contests. We need those pages to be up to date.

Schnujo's Doing NaNoWriMo? Author Icon wrote: I posted "The Contest Challenge" Open in new Window. on the Activities page. *Bigsmile* Thank you for the reminder! I forget about that page for advertising, but when I'm searching for contests, I often check the contest page. *Smile*

Great that you used the page now. Make sure to check it every now and then and see if it's still on the page.
