I'm starting a new blog because

I've started an appendix (I no longer have one personally) to keep track of my Space Cadet journals for Space Blog. It's a work constantly under construction. Mind the mess.

Two old prompts I responded to from Annette :

30 Day Blogging Challenge Prompt September 5th: Is there any item type available to you that you've never created? Any that you've never read? Any tool or feature on WDC that you haven't tried? Why not? What are the benefits of having these extra features available on a site dedicated to writing? (I have a feeling our restless muses are to blame, but I'd love to hear your thoughts!)

Edited and expanded:

I keep myself at this level (premium) because downsizing would be more than painful. I have too much! Yes, backing-up and house-cleaning would be wise... but I won't make the time to do it. And I have nowhere to store it all.

I now live on facebook (it's where I keep my gazillion photos), MSN (because I'm a news junkie just like my parents), and 538 (because I like numbers, patterns, trends). I don't have time for more social media like some others who wander here and there on the internet begging me to follow; it's too much for my anxiety. Yes, I should be off-line more. When I travel it's a different life.

So... to the prompt... I've done surveys and should do some again. I follow 3 Word Mayhem and Kraken's Code but have no desire to make my own. Somethings like C-notes don't interest me at all.

I agree that having fun on-site, same as on-line, is time consuming. I have better things to do.

Like, I really should focus more on writing contests. Not because I don't write, but because it helps me focus, stretches my abilities and spurs me on. Like the Flash Fiction daily prompts. For a poet, they are helping me understand narrative, one of my weaknesses.

What to add? I need my own a web-site. But that's time and money. And I'd be crying, Pouvez-vous m'aider? Tous les jours!

30 Day Blogging Challenge Prompt September 6th: I have long adored the practice on WDC of memorializing the portfolios of members who have passed away so all their writings remain visible without needing a membership. See: "White Case Memorial" and "Request a Deceased Member Be Memorialized"
Do you hope to be remembered for your writing? What do you think your writings will say about you when you’re gone? Is your WDC portfolio in suitable shape to be memorialized tomorrow if you were no longer around to tend it?


I would like to be remembered. It's why I've given copies of writings to the person who inspired me. If it matters only to them then that's fine.

I would like to be published in journals, but the submission process triggers my anxiety. I have some items that are begging for a wider audience.

I have tons of notes! Mostly on paper!

My portfolio isn't in shape to be memorialized. I should re-order it; if only so I can find things!
