Good Morning!
Sooooo, just a note about the Pig Pen private messaging system. In the user CP, under User Profile, Edit Options you'll find this:
Alert me with a notice when I receive a Private Message.
This is not an off-site notification, if you check it it's just a banner here so when you log in you know you have a message.
If you've joined in the last year or so you'll probably find this in there:
Hi! April is National Poetry Month in several countries. The Pig Pen celebrates our world-wide membership annually with a series of 30 daily threads each with a different prompt.
We invite all members to post a poem a day for as many days as you are able. No one expects a polished gem, just a poem loosely inspired by the prompt. Although comments are welcomed there are no critiques unless the member chooses to open a workshop thread afterwards for any favorites.
Members at any stage in their journey can partipate so if you've been writing for one month or fifty years, the NaPM threads are the place to be. Hearing all the different voices is the fun of it!
We hope you'll enjoy the writing and reading during this challenge. Happy April! -ella
Figured I'd drop it here as well for those of you who don't open PMs, I hope you'll all give it a go.
