I have seven new greetings I'd like to share with you at
Please feel free to use them as you wish for the holiday season. |
| It's been raining and snowing today here in Munising, Michigan. Anyone else getting some of this weather where you live that tends to get snow this time of year? |
| Significant rain here in south Georgia, USA, Sharmelle. It has to be really cold for days before we have even the possibility of snow. The January 2025 Blizzard was the last time. |
| I am dreading the snow here in Port Huron, Michigan. We have had a lot of rain as of late and the temperatures are dropping. |
| Mousethyme - Having lived in SnowLand aka GreatLakes, I prefer snow to cold rain. Ice is even worse. |
Good Day, Pals,
Please come join in on the fun for "Sharmelle's Recipe Kitchen Contest"  by donating your GPs for your choice of three MBs. CRs are included for these MBs if you order more than one MB at a time. |

To my Writing.com pals, I'm looking into buying a Graphic Drawing Tablet for mostly my writing, and I need some advice from someone who has one of these themselves, please. I have Windows 11, and I'm unsure if the one I'm looking at is compatible with it. Plus, I'm uncertain about the brand of this one, too. If you can help, please email me here, and I'll contact you back with the link, and we can go from there. I am sharmelle@writing.com here. |
Sharmelling Blessing  - this is the one my sons have Wacom Cintiq 16 That's the one used on college campuses and by casual to entry level professional users. The one you linked above is about 10% of the price, so it's probably also going to have low quality and durability along with few features. |
| It has over 5k reviews and is rated 4.4, so I wouldn't say it's low quality or necessarily even low durability. It comes with a little carrying case / cover thing you should probably use, though. It also comes with a glove you should probably also use, too. I think the biggest difference will be the features. And probably the biggest feature will be that you can't directly see what you are drawing. You are drawing on the screen, but watching it on the computer. I had a drawing tablet like that early on and it drove me nuts. But it also wasn't good at telling me where my pen was, so I'm sure they're better at that now. But it is still weird to be looking up at what you are drawing and not down at your hand, guiding your hand, but instead, you are guiding the drawing. Obviously, you get used to it. lol You'll also need more space so you won't be able to use it on just a little hospital table that rolls up to a bed because there wouldn't be space for the tablet to sit in front of the computer because they have to be attached. I would say it's a decent one for what it is, but for being feature rich, it can't match the $600 one, of course. For a $70 tablet, it has decent ratings and the folks on the videos liked it. Watch all the videos. There were quite a few. Though some were sponsored, so watch them, but take them with a grain of salt since they were sponsored. They literally are usually contractually obligated not to say anything truly bad about the product. But you can still see how it functions and see what you think. Also, read some of the reviews. I did notice there weren't a list of Cons at the top, though there were a list of Pros gleaned by AI. Usually, there's a list of both, so maybe the Cons are just random and not a consistent problem, which seems good to me. That's my 2 cents. It can never equal a $600 tablet, but you would also take a year to save up $600, so sometimes you just have to take the less impressive alternative. Is your computer a touch screen? Can you lay it completely flat? Maybe there's a website or software that could turn your computer into a tablet if you can make your computer flat and it's touchscreen. Actually, I might look into that for my own computer because I can make it flat and it's a touchscreen. It's 5 years old and the keys are wearing off and some of them don't work anymore. But the touchscreen still works fine. Thanks for that idea! |
| Good Evening, Good Morning, Good Afternoon, my Writing.com Friends, I lost another best friend on Monday evening. It's not going to be easy with these two best friends gone now. Tomorrow is the memorial for my first best friend, who passed away a month ago, that I'm in charge of. This best friend who passed away on Monday, we are looking into giving him a memorial here later also. I have written an Eulogy Poem and two Friendship Songs; I would like to submit them to a contest, if there is any please. |

Good Day, my Writing.com pals, Who's running NaNoWriMo this year again, if there is one this year? I thought I received an email about it, but I've been sick for a little bit, and I can't find the email I thought was sent out to me about it already. |
Amethyst Autumn Angel  - Oh right. It isn't something I take part in but there always seems to be a lot about it on here - but I thought it wasn't just a WDC thing |
| Jellyfish Busyfish - Multiple reasons... I believe content ratings were one of them. Plus... if it's anything like the local senior center... inclusivity versus exclusivity, greed, gatekeeping... yada yada yada. I don't mourn the passing of an organization. WDC novel writers will do fine without it. A forum here will work just as well. |
| We will still be writing on WDC in November creating novels. So, if it's my group, the official site forum or prep forums, there will be plenty of options still. |
