Last week, I was whittling down my portfolio and decreased the number of items from 700+ to 200+ I'm still wondering how I did that. I had plenty of room, even with the 700+. Was I cleaning my virtual, as I should be cleaning my real house?

Has anyone else done something similar?

🐕GeminiGem🎁 Author Icon - Images and me. We're buddies. It's a problem. *Laugh* Same as you, I've also deleted images that I needed.
Chariot to the Heavens Author Icon - It's no easy task, that's for sure. *Pthb*
Allan Charles Author Icon - Oh, goodness, I have photo albums. Multiple photo albums. I have to clean those out now and again when I reach limits.

What can I say?

Chariot to the Heavens Author Icon - It's true. My life without WdC would be so very lonely. My presence here is more of a necessity for stability and purpose rather than an addiction. *Bigsmile* At least that's the way I see it.
Nixie💃💃 Author Icon - Aww. Also, you are blue case, a moderator, what could be a higher purpose than that. Being a Moderator should bring you some belonging here too. Be blessed!
I edited this short non-fiction melange of emotions, memories and visuals about my beloved house built in 1901. Yes, it's a shameless plug because of the nomination. And because I want everyone to read about some of the mysteries uncovered.

Um...seems there was a mix-up on the Secret Santa list. (Maybe that was the cause?)

Who was the generous one that made December shine for me?

After posting once today, I was really hoping that silence would be my native tongue ... but then I came across a story written when I joined in 2011. Maybe some members need to laugh or wince.

Cubby~Packing Author Icon - Adorable Giphy. It reminds me of my grandsons when they were younger.
I think it shows a certain dedication to the craft of writing - or the fact that you took about 10 seconds out of each and every day to at least login. *Laugh* For my part, my longest streak shares the number of a well-known U.S. highway around these parts: 285. Sadly, my current streak is just a touch over 1/4th of that.
Same here. And for the forum one. The review and newsfeed have a few gaps however. Sometimes they slip through the net.

Beautifully written
Allan Charles Author Icon - Thank you. I wasn't sure how people would react to such a dark piece, or if I was revealing too much of myself. So far, it's been well-received.
Nixie💃💃 Author Icon - I’ve shared some stuff on WdC that I’ve not shared anywhere else. Some of the best writing is dark. We are all human. *Heart* Well done.

Look at what I found in my email this morning! A portfolio award from Jeff. He spent some time going through my port and bio to choose the perfect words that captured the essence of me.

The trophy is shiny and bright. I can barely believe my eyes.

Oh the irony:
my rewrite. *Laugh*

But start out by recognizing that they have just handed you a piece of their heart.

I agree that could have been written more clearly, however...it sounds more like an oral quote to me.
🐕GeminiGem🎁 Author Icon - IDK. Maybe she did speak it aloud. I only saw the quote on Writer's Digest.
