Removal instructions  I have decided to run a contest with this edition of the newsletter and will continue to do so with each subsequent issue I write, until further notice. With this issue, I will be the sole judge. Future issues may have guest judges, if so, that will be announced at the time the contest is announced. There will be prizes given out with each contest! Not every contest will be the same as the last. I hope many of you will take the time to enter.     Have you ever felt, when writing, words were just not quite enough; that if you could just visually show your thoughts the message would be clearer? Well, here is your opportunity! Write a short story or poem using as many of the current WDC emoticons as possible. Create words, expressions, sentences... well, you get the ....... Show me your creativity and win BIG! [This contest is managed and sponsored by whome. This contest is not run by Writing.Com staff.] Below is the list of the current emoticons, which can also be accessed at List of WDC Emoticons   Using at least ten emoticons from the list, create me a story or tale, poem or song. Have fun with this contest. Tell me a tale, paint me a picture, sing me a song, woo me with poetry, doing so with emoticons! One entry per person.

ATTENTION TO DETAILS merit badges were awarded to those who participated in last issue's activities and left commentary. The question posed was this: WHAT DID THE NEWSLETTER AND WORD SEARCH HAVE IN COMMON??? sarahreedBoth the Newsletter and Word Search were about the contests and activities on WDC. copenatorThey both had StoryMistress as one of the answers. I did the Crossword and the Word Search. Finished the Word Search. Whoo! Whoo! Checked out the 3 Word activity and left some entries. Thanks for highlighting the activities and contests and let us know how the first contest within a contest went. I'd be curious to know how many were able to complete the crossword. Copenator out! embeWho me why the question I know to be true - Whome in a fairy tale with good news in reviews payed handsomely for you - Why not a reply thanking her here like me - embe, in appreciation your newsletter inspiring us. sarajean<3 WhoMe! For this particular newsletter, I've noticed that the contests and activity pages don't seem to move very quickly at all, anymore. Either people aren't hosting contests (which is very possible), or people aren't using the WdC pages available to advertise them. It might be good to put a little disclaimer in for all who read this newsletter - that they do exist. I remember, back when I first joined, those pages would scroll through in three days. I have an activity that was put on there mid-July, and it's still about the middle of the page. They just aren't being utilized. b.meridith Great NL! Wonderful idea and I wish you luck with engaging more readers. I did the crossword and the word search and the thing they have in common are they share the same answers. Great job and hope you get some wonderful feedback. ~ Brooke ADDITIONAL COMMENTS alockwood1I enjoy contests and activities, as they encurage one to do something, and help out in the comunity. This folder contains my things which are currently in a contest, or some such thing. atwhatcostIf you still have that itch to do housecleaning after you spruce up your port, please let me know. My house needs cleaning and I never get that itch. And, yes, this works. I'm joining in on the Polar Opposites Contest. Right up my alley for a fun write. Thanks.
