The StoryMaster I was able to comment on an old Newsfeed post just now but new posts won't let me comment. That's strange!

Edited... that's okay too.

Yes, I'm sure he knows. lol If for no other reason, because he can't do anything, either. lol

I want someone to read today's entry in my blog. I need someone to read it.

Please.
I thought about posting in "The Writer's Cramp" ; it's been awhile. I came across this old post:

As old as the hills (367 words) [91]  (18+)
For The Writer's Cramp 6-14-20. A latter-day-vampire story from "Blood of the Garlic"
#2224291 by Kåre Enga in Udon Thani

I was amused as I didn't remember it. Yes... it was written in 2020 but lingering covid fog wasn't enveloping me. I'm old. I have Old-Timers... It could use a couple more views or even a review if anyone is so inclined. *Vamp*
If you only knew me... you'd know how this resonates within me. Written August 2023? I don't remember writing it. But I do remember a kitten in the botanical gardens of Beograd...

I really would like a review. Yes, I need to catch up thanking all the recent reviewers. They will make me reread old works I haven't revisited in ages.
I should... let go *Smile* but stuck at 23 responses and GoT isn't over quite yet:

Mottos of Lesser Houses Game of Thrones  (13+)
The major houses of Games of Thrones have well-known mottos; but, what about the others?
#2317567 by Kåre Enga in Udon Thani

My plane tickets are bought, so I just need to reserve a bed at my favorite hostel in Thailand and buy a 2nd class (a/c) train ticket. I may be able to do some catching up around here. Arranging my tickets took 3 days and stressed me out to the max. In the end I just went with what was most comfortable and convenient. I like flying Asiana and have flown this itinerary before. So expensive though...

Lazy Writer est 4/24/2008 - Thank you. I bought my train ticket and reserved a bed. Now... I need to reserve seats on my three flights. The long one from Korea to Seattle is key.
Sum1 - I'll be back at Pinto Hostel where we met. I almost took a flight to LAX for April 30th. You'll be on LA when? As you've noted: traveling is tiring and not always as scheduled or planned.
Sum1  
Kåre Enga in Udon Thani I will be in LA that week! The class is for LAPD, I'll be at what was once called the New Otani hotel, it's now a Hilton Doubletree. I arrive Sunday April 28, will fly home Friday May 3.

Too overwhelmed by making plans for "The Return". I'm not happy and can't focus on writing. Contests and chores? Don't even ask...

I want to stay. I need to leave. I'm not sure about coming back.

I'd really just like to scream, board a train and go to Hua Hin to visit Dr Gonzo.
I think I've only made on survey...

Fellow blogger Prosperous Snow believes the future is bright. I strongly agree. Do you?
#1142599 by Kåre Enga in Udon Thani

It's from 2006 based on a blog entry by Prosperous Snow celebrating (that still exists!).

Surveys aren't quite the same as polls. I can see responses from individuals... most no longer active here... and at least one white-case. But I also received two recent responses! Over 900 views and 56 responses I can read. *Hearto*

Hints to anyone making a poll or survey: try to anticipate as many answers as you can. Not everyone thinks in black/white yes/no paradigms. Add a bit of humor when appropriate. This is a very serious survey... but feedback suggests that humor helped.
I really enjoyed reading an entry from this story-blog.

Life With A Werewolf  (18+)
Adventures In Living With The Mythical
#2284649 by Louis Williams

"A military veteran is adopted by a werewolf and brought into his pack. Insanity ensues.

About "Life With A Werewolf"

Life with a werewolf is a dramatic blog. As such the characters in this blog are not real but maybe loosely based on real people. The situations represented are not real but maybe loosely based on real things that have happened in my life. There are a multitude of ways to view life, this is simply one of the ways I have chosen to view mine. Updated Every Friday unless I can't or don't want to."

I recommend it.

So do I, but stat at the beginning to understand.
I was thinking of polls and came across this poll (with 9 'haikus' to choose from) from 2022.

 
POLL
January Haiku  (13+)
Short haiku-ish attempts at a Japanese form.
#2265665 by Kåre Enga in Udon Thani


It received 6 votes. I chose one that didn't get any votes for Mona's contest... but still came in 2nd for

Haiku Hunt Contest  (E)
Haiku Poem Contest with Prompt. Round 11 Closed!
#1969492 by eyestar~*


Did Mona know she was dying when she judged the contest in February 2022? She died March 25, 2023. "Note: Hi Everyone, Just wanted to let you know that eye..." which leads to another poll:

 
POLL
How will I die?  (18+)
There are many ways to die but as I age I've become more aware that there are options.
#2316838 by Kåre Enga in Udon Thani


And one last *sigh*... I wish Mona's contest could be reopened or, to be frank, copied and restarted. Contests/forums have been handed over to others over the years. There are many that would still be viable if there was any interest in taking them over, nurturing them and promoting them.
One of my favorite contests could use a couple three more entries before midnight on the 14th. *Care*

#2317567 by Kåre Enga in Udon Thani


23 WDC members visited and 19 voted! 17 *Female* - 6 *Male* (trans isn't an option...update? In Buddhist Thailand there are at least 6 options). Average unique member: Single Female, age 25-39, with College Degree education. Many came from the Community Feed *Bigsmile* As I've mentioned... stats are interesting.

2 of the nine options have no votes. The leader is looking back at the more recent upstarts. WHO? You'll have to vote to find out. *Castle* *Smirk2* *Castle*

Thanks for posting this! I visited and voted! HOOves
Thank you ♥Hooves♥ and Lilith of House Martell. Comments and votes make it worthwhile.

It's now up to 23 votes and 7 different mottos have 3 or 4 votes! No clear winner. *Ha* Really shows the diversity of opinion around here.
This seems to attract the younger crowd so far! Stats are amusing. They kick in once enough people have stopped by. So far 8 votes. *Smile* Half are for one House! *Shock* I did not expect that...

This is interesting! I have voted. *Smile*
Kit of House Lannister - Vote #9. I like your choice; but then, I probably would be a member of the Night Watch... misfit that I am. Thanks for voting. *Towerg*
Just voted!
Just write a sentence or two using all the senses; then use those senses to write a poem or story; the original can be discarded... like a mad-lib.

Only 6 takers so far for this GoT poll: "Mottos of Lesser Houses Game of Thrones"  [13+]

What am I doing? How have I been? "Hoarfrosts from Hell"  [GC]

I received a merit badge for "Softball (circa 1986)"  [ASR].
"Over the Moon" is part of the original soundtrack (OST) of "Eclipse", a very well written and acted series from Thailand last year.



For those who write scripts or admire an opening with impact please be aware that this may trigger you. It bothers me every time.
