therealljidol Good Morning and welcome to July!
More importantly than that - welcome to the day of the first topic/prompt is going to be posted and we get started with whatever this particular journey is going to look like.
The sign-up sheet is open until 7pm ET. today (Thank you to the person who messaged me reminding me that I forgot to put the time zone. It's those details that were once standard in my head that I need to remember. :D) therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1138078.html
I have noticed a couple things on that thread though that I need to remind YOU about.
Make sure you are linking to a specific entry and not your main journal. That becomes important when your weekly entries because who wants to scroll down to find which one you are asking people to check out?
The other is locked/friends only journal entries. I can not, and will not, tell anyone "You need to make those public!" because it's your space. BUT I can tell you that if no one outside your immediate circle is able to read it, no one outside your immediate circle is going to be able to enjoy it/give you feedback and ultimately cast a vote for it to keep you in the competition. So that's your choice, but that's some unsolicited information.
***
We currently have 43 contestants so far. Which is pretty good. I wasn't sure what to expect this time around. Included in those are *3* people with the possibility of crossing the 200 entry mark! 1 of them is almost guaranteed to do it. For the other 2 it will depend on various circumstances. But if nothing else they will come a little closer.
***
It's the start of new week, a new month, and for many (including my old job) it's the start of a new fiscal year! It's a chance to start again.
What do you have planned to make the most of your reset?

Date: 2024-07-01 02:02 pm (UTC)I used to think drinking made me write better that's so far it's turned out that none of the positive things I thought drinking did for me that were positive were actually true in the cold light of morning... But even if drinking did up my game at this point I think I'd rather be a sober crappy writer than a drunk brilliant one.
Some people in this contest will be able to compare and contrast so it'll be fun to play for that reason alone.
