Hey, guys. I got a PM from Havoc the other day and as I have his permission, I'd like to extend part of the conversation to y'all:
"I was just wondering if you had any plans for the future regarding the writing exercises you had been doing? I thought they had looked like fun when you were hosting them. I know you may just not have the time between your responsibilities as a moderator now, and your work on your own stories, but I'm curious none the less."
"I was also thinking that if you do not have the time for those then maybe something along the lines of writing prompts. Nothing for points, just optional writing prompts that could be done everyday to get some writing experience, and get the creative juices going."
"So rather than every week you could do it once a month, two weeks on two weeks off, every other week, specific day/s of the week, etc. Have it be something of an event that only comes around so much, instead of a constant ever present thing. That would help keep it from taxing your creativity, and it would give you a lot more time than you'd had before to do whatever you need to do."
Do you guys want to see the writing exercises revived, points / formality and all? Or would you prefer not to have the pressure of the tagging / point system, and just jump in to write by the prompts whenever?
Also, would you be okay with this being a once a week deal instead of any every day thing, Sundays or Mondays, perhaps? On the other hand, it could be a five day week, but only one in the month.
I know I also mentioned that I was considering a contest. If you don't care about doing the prompts or the exercises, but still want the contest (or if you want all of the above,) feel free to weigh in about that, too. (I want to do a contest regardless.)
Also, please understand, I cannot do either of these right away. After all, I still have my moderator duties, my personal / co-authoring projects, my health, my personal life, my job, exc.
