Me too... oh, wait! That's the name of a band, right?


Band? There's a band?

Tonight I'm going gourmet. We are having an option of cereal or fend for yourself.

I love, love, love Flogging Molly.


Don't' judge, I'm writing spooky things so I need to set the tone.
This song was in Ernest Goes To Camp and I loved that movie when I was a kid. I always smile when I hear it.

This is a nice challenge for sure. I should say that I just checked back and over the past month's time I have read and voted on 26 stories and poems. Not quite averaging one per day but close. I'll surely try to do better.


You are on the ball with commenting and voting. It's pretty impressive. Thank you for the encouragement you give to your fellow writers!

I will admit I don't do it as often as I should and I am trying to change that.

This is a great idea!


Thank you! I hope more people will take this challenge.
I watched Extraction with Chris Hemsworth. If you like action movies with lots of shooting and things blowing up, this is one for you. I loved the kid in this. He was clumsy and in the way at times, to the point it looked real like he had no idea what he was doing there, but as the movie grew so did he.
I'm watching Warrior Nun. There are a few things in it that are frustrating but it has kept my attention.
Hey everyone! Just as the title suggests, I wanted to set up a different kind of challenge for everyone.

I am asking you to set a goal to read at least one story, poem, musing, etc a day. At least one.

Not only read it but take a moment to score and comment. We all love to see a new score and a comment on our writing so why not challenge yourself to do that for your fellow writers?

I know for me, commenting can sometimes be stressful. Not because the piece wasn't good, but I tend to over analyze my comments. I think it's not good enough or it sounds weird, but you know what? It doesn't have to an award-winning comment or even very long. A simple, This was great or I liked this, is a worthy comment.

Perhaps if we all did one a day it would remind us why we enjoy writing and perhaps encourage us to write more.

Thanks!
