Thanksgiving


Here in the US, we'll be celebrating Thanksgiving very soon, and it got me to thinking about giving thanks.

Giving thanks is nearly always a great idea, whether it's thanks for help or a kindness or even a criticism. And there are many, many things to be thankful for on Writing.Com.

*Leaf2br* Thank someone for sending a review. The least you can do is send an email reply with a simple, "Thanks!" It recognizes the review and sends a thankful comment. If you want to go even further, send some gps, award them by crediting the reviewer through the Public Review Page  . And the best thanks would probably be to review the person who send you their review!

*Leaf2g* Thank contest/activity participants! Your contests and activities wouldn't get far without participants. Be sure to thank them in a message post or email. A review is also a great way to say thanks!

*Leaf2o* Thank the host of a contest/activity! Send a review of the contest itself or send a donation to their prize pool! It's always a good idea to thank the host of a contest when you're one of its winners!

*Leaf2r* Thank visitors to your port and those who leave comments on blogs and journals. Another way to send thanks is with c-Notes, and I'll link a few of those in my Editors Picks.

In general, giving thanks is a great way to participate in a community. It shows recognition and appreciation. I think everyone appreciates a "Thank You" from time to time!

Thanks, kind readers, for reading this week's Contests & Activities Newsletter! *Bigsmile*

Ask & Answer

My last newsletter, ("Contests & Activities Newsletter (October 26, 2016)" ), discussed Stress-Relief.

Good Newsletter! I'm sat here writing this comment having just completed an essay for University right before the deadline, and I have several deadlines looming here on Writing.Com for contests and challenges I entered. *Laugh*

I completely agree with you about writing for fun. And about going for a walk. Nature can feel almost magical in the way it can destress me. Plus yes, friends. I am lucky to have found some really good friends here on W.Com, and their support and the fun I have with them are very valuable.

Thanks for the reminder. *Smile* ~ Kit of House Lannister

Thank you! *Smile*


I certainly wish that I could come on WDC every time I feel stressed!! I would probably get fired though!!! *Facepalm* *Laugh* *Shock* Thank you for highlighting my contest in the newsletter! *Smile* ~ Jellyfish-Vote Green on May 2!

Oh, I should have mentioned trying not to get fired! *Laugh*


Please don't forget the first ever monthly folklore contest! Huge prizes! ~ Mare ~ extended hiatus

No problem! I'll link it here and in my Editor Picks:
