GC and I created our Challenge site at the beginning of June 2018 following the demise of WordPress’s Daily Prompts. Initially, our idea was to provide a midweek word prompt and a weekend photo challenge; however, on the first of January 2020, we changed tack and combined our two challenges to create twice weekly word/photo challenges.
We’d love to hear from you, please talk to us by leaving your comments below.
Our first ever comment was kindly left by Maureen Helen (How to be Eighty)
“Just as I was plucking up the courage to join the daily prompt fun, it disappeared. Then this morning, this blog. Congratulations to both of you, and every success on your new venture. I look forward to being part of it.” – Maureen Helen.
Following a suitable length of time general comments will be deleted.

My problem with rock chips is that I don’t have any pictures. I usually let a small “ping” go by until they build up, then the insurance redoes the glass (no deductible for glass) and the same thing happens until finally, I give in and it’s time to get another window. Also, we have salt and sand on the road in the winter and although it doesn’t give you the classic spider web appearance, it produces millions of tiny scratches so that no matter what you do, the windshield never looks clean. Eventually, you get THAT fixed too. I’m trying to figure out if i can write without a picture!

I’d say anything goes Marilyn, and it’s a word-prompt so you don’t need to have a picture. Go for it 🙂

Intuition is a great subject. I think I could write a whole book about it. Meanwhile, it will be up on the 14th.

Your idea for a book sounds interesting Marilyn! Odd how we sense things correctly but still choose to ignore! Thank you Marilyn

Got it. Thank you! Still learning the ping back thing. And I love all the challenges but different folks have different sets of instructions. I kept getting a message that said my comment could not be posted. I hope I didn’t post it like 10 times or something.

Ah yes, that’s because our challenge pages allow pingbacks but not comments. We set it that way in order to achieve a streamlined look and so that everyone can spot each other’s pingbacks without first ploughing through various feedback. That’s why we included a Talk to Us page.
Most people who set challenges have done so using their personal blogs. Gerry and I set up Weekly Prompts as a challenge site only, very much as WordPress did when they used to set the challenges. We keep our personal blogs separate, and we also take part in the challenges. Thank you for leaving your comments. 🙂
