Result #31: This Year I Successfully Remained A Top Writer On What Turned Out To Be A Website Meant For ESL Students…
Update #1: The Conclusion…
Date: 1-31-2015
Last year, when I discovered Daily Themes, I was just looking for a writing site with a daily writer’s prompt. One of the reasons why I chose this site over other writing prompt sites is that Daily Theme's mission statement seemed to lean more toward tapping into the stream of consciousness for content.
It turns out that when the website encouraged no second-guessing yourself, it was because they were encouraging English as a Second Language students to share without fear then learn from the feedback and not necessarily for native English speakers to ramble on about nothing.
At least that's how I felt after discovering it was an ESL site.
But, I made the resolution and stuck to a post a day and remained one of the top ten writers for an entire year. The ranking is volume-based and not content based so I don't feel all that guilty of steal a spot on a list that I may be over-qualified for.
Then again I was usually pretty out of it when I wrote most of these stories, insights, and whatnots. Sometimes… I was so wasted that English was my second language at the time.
(Note: About a year after completing this challenge… I went back to the Daily Themes site to cut and paste each of my mini ramblings into a Word document… only to find the site had changed and no longer has this writing feature… so… unfortunately… you’ll have to take my word…)
