Hey fellow dA'ers!


I just made a little witchy word search puzzle that can be found at https://thewordsearch.com/puzzle/2500864/witchy-stuff/


Here are some others --


The British TV show The Bill - https://thewordsearch.com/puzzle/661751/


I do word searches here almost every day and they have thousands of puzzles there.


I'll be making more and will add them to this journal as and when I do them. I hope you all go over and have a go.


Have fun!

Today I tried to submit a short story to my gallery as an RTF file but I kept getting an error message saying that it couldn't be posted; preview required. Then I tried loading it as an open office file and got the same message. Then I tried it as a text file but it told me that html files were not allowed.


I'm at my wit's end. I really need to post this because I want to enter it into Ellysiumn's IV Challenge for Writers. There are only 10 days left until the deadline so any help would be greatly appreciated.


The thing is that I've posted other things over the last few months and had no trouble. So I just don't get it.


Please ... HELP!


Thanks in advance.


PS ~ I can't even seem to be able to cut and paste the story because that function seems to be gone. Bastards!

Something has occurred to me just now and I have noticed it before but I’ve never put it into words and it’s that when you’re looking at something close up your focus on things far away becomes blurred and vice versa. And the real … I don’t know what … the real revelation in that observation is that this is true not just when you’re looking out the window at the trees dancing in the wind but also in your life.

If you’re looking at the details you can’t see the big picture and if you’re looking at the big picture you can’t see the details.

I wonder why that is. Is it possible to develop multi-focus where you can see everything with an equal amount of clarity?

Well, friends, there's nothing really to report but I thought it looked really remiss of me to leave that really old journal up.

About the only thing that might be of minimal interest to some of you is the fact that I've gone back to the very beginning of my Timewalker series to re-read it so that I can FINALLY write the last book in the series ... at least I'm hoping it's the last book :nod:

UPDATE 7

Ok, well, I just uploaded the last of my weekly (almost) writing challenges.

I hope you all (yes, all 3 of you) enjoy it. Thanks for reading and happy holidays.

UPDATE 6

Well, it's Sunday and this should have been the day I posted Writing Challenge #7, but I had kind of a bad week so I didn't get my story finished. It's another Bonnie the Witch story, but I think it's going to be the last ... at least for a while. In fact, since no one seems to be reading the stories I think I'm going to stop writing them ...  again, at least for a while.

I will post this last story, called 'Night Music' when I finish it.

UPDATE 5

Ok, here's challenge #6 and it's the conclusion of last week's Bonnie the Witch story.

Have fun!

UPDATE 4

Well, I've just posted writing challenge #5. It's another Bonnie the Witch story.

Hope you enjoy.

UPDATE 3

It's week 4 of the writing challenges and this week the prompt threw 2 stories at me so you get 2 for the price of 1 this week. Enjoy.

UPDATE 2

Here we are at week 3 of our writing challenges. It's called 'Grandma's Closet'

It's another Bonnie the Witch story - hope you like it.

UPDATE

It's week 2 of the writing challenge and I'm just about to post my second short piece.

This one I actually got to finish and I quite like it.

So go read it and enjoy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I can't believe it's been almost an entire year since my last journal, but I've finally got off my butt to put up a new one.

The reason is as it says in the title, Tara (forestina's fotos :iconforestina-fotos:) and I are trying something new to get our creative juices flowing in our writing. We've both been working on long-term projects and needed a boost - an inspiration - to get back our mojo.

So when Tara wrote to me last week and asked me if I'd be interested in "setting each other small challenges? Short pieces of prose (even poetry) that have nothing to do with our novels. Just scenes. Or emotions. Anything really. To get our creative juices flowing again. We could give each other a mood, or emotion, or setting, even a couple of keywords. Could be fantasy, adventure, romantic, whatever. And it wouldn't have to be very long. A couple of paragraphs, but longer if we get into the flow."

I wrote back and basically said, Hell yeah!

So that's what we're doing.

One week I pick a few 'prompts' for us to choose from, the following Tara chooses. Then at the end of the week, we're gonna post them here on dA for everyone to see.

My first piece is the beginning of a short story called 'The Dragoi" and can be found in my gallery.

I hope to get some feedback, but gentle. :D (Big Grin)
