Blog: tracker's place

Cross posting blog entry today

Today's blog entry I wrote at another social media site.

I have left Open Diary which is a huge change for me. I started writing there in December 1999. It has been steady writing except for the site closing in 2014 and me not knowing it had reopened until 2020. My main site now is writing.com and the reason for that is huge: Writing is the main focus. Reading and reviewing other people’s work is rewarding for me.

I am proud to have won a contest there a couple of days ago. There was a day of doing as many story reviews. I did five which I thought was a very small number. From the congratulations memo I was sent, they were looking for quality, not quantity. That is one of my major mantras. If you are going to do something, do it in excellence. I won some gift points I can use to buy some special decorations for my portfolio plus a merit badge which is a sought after item. Since it is a winter event, the merit badge has a snow princess on it. Quite cute.

I do have a blog there with a pretty good record of daily entries. My diaries/blogs are made up more with interesting stuff rather than moaning and groaning about my life or recording daily activities which I believe was the original intent of a diary. I prefer to put in stuff that interests me. At Open Diary I liked to do research on things I was interested in. I also kept a record of the cool things/phrases people wrote. I will try to be more faithful here. I have more than one and less than ten friends here. Even if there was only one besides me, I would continue to write here. Hopefully it will be better stuff than in my previous entries.

To you who follow me, thank you for reading. I read your entries and try to note them, time permitting.
