If you don't know about WDC Dragon Vale here's a link.
WDC Dragon Vale   [E]
Tame, Grow, and Adopt a Dragon for delightful rewards.
by GERVIC Author Icon
I'm hoping to do several activities in the next few weeks to earn experience points for my baby fire dragon, earn cool prizes, and get more involved in other activities on the site.

For anyone interested, I am planning on promoting writing.com and various contests and activities found here, on my Tumblr and Youtube blog/vlog: Kate Sparks Creativity.
 
Yesterday I posted about "Invalid Item"  and "SCREAMS!!!"  [GC] and will likely do so again, closer to Halloween/Fall.
 
If you have a Tumblr or Youtube of your own,let me know, so we can follow each other. *BigSmile*

I just realised yesterday (when I followed you) that my updates haven't been uploading to my tumblr because I had the wrong username. *Blush* I've fixed it now, so hopefully now when I update my blog it'll update my tumblr. I'll see about going back and adding some of the missed content.

How's everybody doing? I haven't been on here lately...I have mainly been working on a Tumblr blog and Youtube channel of the same name: Kate Sparks Creativity. I am hoping to maybe get on here and do some fall/Halloween challenges that may also wind up on my blog/vlog. Let me know what yal have going on, so I can participate! *BigSmile*

Links to my sites:

https://katesparkscreativity.tumblr.com

https://www.youtube.com/user/ezra2hot/playlists?view_as=subscriber

I've had Youtube since about 2009, so the web link refers to one of my favorite western TV characters, Ezra Standish. I intend to do more fan art in the future, but I desire to change the name in future. I think I need 100 subscribers just to make my own custom link...

It may be easier to just search for Kate Sparks Creativitiy. I have a few shopping haul videos (art supplies and my studio space) as well as a Harry Potter series for HP's birthday--a sorting hat cupcake reveal and art journal page.

I'm hoping to do at least one story writing video in the next few days using story cubes.

Followed you in both places. *Smile*

Does anyone have or know of a good source for blogging tips (books, FB/WDC groups, etc)?
I don't currently have an upgraded membership on WDC and I'm hoping to monetize the blog at some point.
 
I think the focus of my blog is going to be travel oriented...but with the goal to provide information about creative shops and activities as well as photos of nature and touristy things.
 
No idea what it will be called...or if I will focus on one region of the US as we've recently moved to Texas and are learning about new events and quilt shops and writers groups.
So sorry, I am totally clueless in the area.
I don't really have a source for blogging tips. I started blogging years ago on Blogger and it was a decent sized blog for several years. I got into it just by reading and seeing what others were doing around the "blogosphere". However it was mostly about my town, my family, etc.

I only recently got back into it. I have a blog here and on Wordpress. Sometimes they share entries, sometimes they don't.

My point is, sometimes it can help to see what others blog about so feel free to explore the blogs on this site.

Also, I joined two blogging communities here that give prompts to help "jump start" ideas. "Blog City ~ Every Blogger's Paradise"  and "Blogging Circle of Friends "

Let me know if you have something to be nominated.
You can come over my portfolio, community tab (collected trinkets) and check if there's something Halloween or autumn related that hasn't been nominated yet *Smile*.

Like making trinkets? Have you checked out this new activity? I am planning on nominating a trinket rather than making one...
Thanks Ash *Bigsmile*!

Does anyone run a contest similar to Legerdemain Author Icon's 15 for 15 contest? There used to be another month long picture prompt contest, but I haven't seen updates for it or 15 for 15 in some time.
 
(Goes off to cry in corner after collecting trinkets...) *Cry*
 
Edit: the other contest referred to was run by Cinn Author Icon--3o Day Image Prompt Contest
New Trinket coming soon... *Smile*

Some trinket love: I really like the location trinkets, particularly the ones that come with poems or information about the place. Also fantasy, book related, and Halloween trinkets *ThumbsUpL*
 
For all the other not so specific trinket makers, your trinkets are awesome too!
 
Thanks
 
P.S.--The community newsfeed is a great way to find new stories and challenges as you are scrolling for trinkets. I had about ten windows open at one point.

So I looked into the trinkets thing and have collected about 7 of them. I think these things are pretty cool. I wonder if anyone will be using them as incentive for Nano prep in October/November.

I have been so focused on TRINKETS, I haven't posted any prep for "Thinking about NanoWrimo - Rebelliously!" . *Blush*
A likely story, Amyaurora Author Icon. *Smirk*
Ash, go to my notebook. I have 5 trinkets free for the taking. *Heart*

Trying to decide whether I should go for a walk and then make cookies or make cookies and then go for a walk...either way, the cookies won't go far.

It's finally feeling like fall (cool enough to bake in a house with no a/c)! I made cookie dough last week after having a dream about cookies but it was in the upper 80's most of the weekend.

Also, I received an upgrade from the RAOK this weekend! I am hoping to post something new by the end of the week.

Hoping to get a package out to Walker Author Icon before the weekend...not sure if I will get it to her before we go camping though. I'm subbing all day today and tomorrow.

I am trying to make a plan to get up early and do reviews/write a story. I haven't done much of either lately.
Ash  Author Icon
Hi everybody! I'm still around, just busy looking for work. I am hoping to do some reviews this weekend.
Ash! I thought you had left. It's nice to see you. Always!
