This month we have something completely different for you!!
You have 4 days to write for the prompt BUT you can respond to the prompt however you choose, provided the focus is on the written element of your post. So give one of these options a whirl: Fiction, Creative Non-Fiction, Poetry, or Discursive Essay.
I wonder how many people watched Dawson's Creek back in the Day? I did! I'm a sucker for coming of age films and television series and this is a series that I loved! I loved it so much, that I watched reruns and binge-watched the boxsets 😁.
What has this got to do with this month's prompt, you ask? Well... the clip I am about to share comes from James Van Der Beek who played the lead role in that wonderful series. As Dawson Leery he was always the introspective, reflective, deep-thinker, and the epitome of teenage angst. It turns out that he is also a reflective deep-thinker in real life!
Earlier this year I came across his 2024 New Year's message on his social media account. He shared something enlightening that I think all of us would benefit from doing more of in our lives, and he illustrated it with a wonderful example, so it is well worth watching the clip!
Once you have watched the clip, consider how you could apply the insights he shared, then write a submission for dreem-wotw using the core principle as the central theme of your post.
Follow the link here to watch the full clip on Instagram or watch the YouTube link to get just the lesson.
His message is that if we want to find a solution to a problem, we may want to consider looking inside the problem, instead of going to external sources. I hope you found this clip thought-provoking, and that it inspires you to find application in your own life :-)
ps: And to write for the prompt by Friday!
THIS IS THE ONLY DATE AND TIMEFRAME WITHIN WHICH SUBMISSIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED FOR THE S3 R6 CONTEST IN DREEMPORT.
The curation/submission cycle starts and ends at these times so there is unfortunately little room for flexibility. All valid submissions to Dreemport will be reviewed and ranked by public curators the following day.
Part of the grading process includes an allocation of points for engagement... but engagement is only assessed if you do Dreemport curation of the contest posts in Dreemport on the day following the contest submission date. Simply log in to Dreemport on Monday 6th May, curate (ie: read and engage😜), and rank the 5 random contest posts assigned to you.
The top 5 in Dreemport will automatically be shortlisted for grading for dreem-wotw prizes, alongside other entries of merit put forward by members of the grading team. We will also be able to access the top 5 Dreemport staff entries in the background and will run two contest pools to keep staff and public entries separate 😊
The dreem-wotw team will then use a Merit grading system that incorporates some aspects of the ORIGINAL Merit Grading Model developed by @scholaris and others added by @juliamulcahy in order to determine the winners.If there are fewer than 5 entries in the staff contest pool, the dreem-wotw grading team reserves the right to award prizes only to those staff entries that are clearly amongst the top-scoring entries, considering all entries in both pools.
If anyone has any difficulty registering and trying out the platform, please tag me or @wrestlingdesires here on this post and we will help you to get this little piece of admin out of the way as painlessly as possible 😊
If you have not used Dreemport before, you will need to register on dreemport.com, which is a quick and easy process.
