Dreem Word of the Week - S1 R2 - Let's talk about TIME!

[samsmith1971]

Welcome to Season 1 Round 2 of...

Dreem Word of the Week

(dreem-wotw)

You can find out about the history of wotw and it's transition from pob-wotw to dreem-wotw here

The word for this round is...

Time...

What is time, and what does it mean to you? Is it the central theme of a short story or poem, the focal point of an introspective piece, or the subject of a discursive essay - philosophical or otherwise? We know that it can be examined from many different angles; which one will you choose? We invite you to share your perspective with us...

---

So, what do you need to know about the contest to enter?

1 ) What form should my entry take?

You may respond to the dreem-wotw prompt through any of the following original and creative pathways: discursive essay, short story, or poetry. You may include original artwork in your submission as part of your interpretation of the prompt but the focus for grading submissions will be on the written content.

2 ) Where and when must I post?
Contestants will be allowed to enter dreem-wotw posts created on any platform and within any community - this promotes greater inclusivity and engagement opportunities.

BUT... they will be required to share the URL for their dreem-wotw entry in Dreemport on the specific contest submission day set aside by Dreemport for dreem-wotw, in order to be considered for any of the dreem-wotw placings and prizes, as the Dreemport phase of grading is an important first step in the process, to shortlist the entries.

Note: You may publish your entry on your home blogging platform whenever you choose, however, it is suggested that you publish on the same day that entries are required to be shared in Dreemport, if you wish to align voting windows on your blogging platform with the timeframes over which Dreemport curators will be viewing your post and dreem-wotw grading teem will be grading (and potentially upvoting).

All entries will be screened by Dreemport screeners for plagiarism, and copyright infringement (all images must be credited back to the original photographers, and URL links to those images on royalty-free sites MUST be provided).

In addition, if any entry is found to be a re-spin of another writer's earlier entry to the contest, such that it appears that the second article clearly relied on and drew too much inspiration from the first, then the second entry will be disqualified, much in the same way that plagiarism disqualifies an entry.

This month the Dreemport submission date is:

Tuesday 23rd August
between 4 am UTC and midnight UTC

Please note...this is not simply the deadline date...

IT IS THE ONLY DATE AND TIMEFRAME WITHIN WHICH SUBMISSIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED FOR THE S1R2 CONTEST IN DREEMPORT.

The curation/submission cycle start and end 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.

If you want to have your voice heard in this respect, simply log on the next day and curate and rank a random 5 posts assigned to you.

3 ) The Grading Phase

At the end of the 24-hour cycle, Dreemport will provide an official top 5 reader's favourites. 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 non-staff entries separate 😊

Members of the grading teem are able to write to the prompt but, like staff, their posts will be excluded from Dreemport official rankings and additionally, they will not be eligible for prizes.

The top 5's will then be graded by the dreem-wotw team in line with the current WOTW Merit grading system - @calumam wrote the original grading system and @scholaris wrote the bases for that grading.

The top 3 graded posts in both contest pools will become the official winning entries in dreem-wotw.

How to use Dreemport
If you have not used Dreemport before, you will need to register on dreemport.com, which is a quick and easy process, and the following two articles give a clear idea of the benefits and ease of use of the platform.

How do I use Dreemport? - it's easy!

Building a better name with Dreemport

If anyone has any difficulty registering and trying out the platform, please tag me or @wrestlingdesires or @juliamulcahy here on this post and we will help you to get this little piece of admin out of the way as painlessly as possible 😊

4 ) Engagement metrics
In order to promote healthy community engagement, one of the merit grading criteria is engagement and it is measured as an average of 3 scores: quantity (no. of posts engaged with), quality (how meaningful that engagement is), and camaraderie (whether you engage only on your own post, or on the posts of others, and to what degree).

To make it quicker and easier to assess, we are asking all participants in the contest to share a link to their own entry, in the comments below on this contest post.

All participants (including staff) are then asked to visit and support at least 2 other entries and then to come back to this contest post and give a simple thumbs up 👍 to the related URL links with which you have engaged.

You may engage with more than 2 participants if you wish and you may then give more URL links a thumbs up to indicate how many engaging comments you have made!

Grading volunteers will not be looking beyond these thumbs up indicators to work out which posts you have visited, so if you don't use the thumbs up system, any unrecorded engagement won't be counted towards your final score.

Summary of entry requirements

• Write a creative response (discursive essay, short story, or poem) to the prompt: time on any blogging platform and in any community.
• Share that post in Dreemport on Tuesday 23rd August, 2022 between 4 am UTC and midnight UTC.
• Share the URL link to your post in a comment to this contest post.
• Support at least 2 other writers who have entered the contest and confirm your support by giving their URL link here a thumbs up.

Which tag should I use?
The new tag to be used for the contest will be dreem-wotw as the contest will be hosted by Dreemport, and the primary token associated with the contest going forward will be the dreem token. By using the tag, it will enable others to find your dreem-wotw entries more easily going forward.

Two contests in one!!!

1 ) Participation prizes:

There will be a random draw for all valid entrants once submissions close on Tuesday 23rd August. The first non-staff and staff entry drawn using random.org will receive a 250 point ecency boost to their post... 🙂 If the post is already boosted, or is too old to be boosted (it usually needs to be less than a day old), then 250 Ecency points will be transferred to the writer's wallet instead.

All URL link comments on this contest post will also receive a mix of PIZZA, ALIVE, LUV, and LOLZ bot token calls.

2 ) dreem-wotw final graded placings:

1st - 500 Dreem Tokens, 250 Ecency points, 50 POB

hi all, just a reminder that the dreem-wotw S1 R2 contest posts for TIME need to be submitted to Dreemport on Tuesday 23rd August between 4 am UTC and midnight UTC. If you are new to Dreemport, please make sure that you leave sufficient time to curate and rank 5 articles before your submission ;-)

The final rankings for dreem-wotw are based on the merit grading model as per the post. For the engagement metric points (total 4 available), it is necessary to curate the contest posts as part of your random 5, the day after submission, so please do come back to Dreemport on Wednesday and read and rank the contest posts assigned to you. This will greatly help improve community involvement in determining the winners.

We look forward to seeing as many of you participating as possible and hope you had fun with this one, whichever form of creative expression you have chosen to use 🤗

rambling thoughts of a mad man seeing the deadline come closer:

now it seems time is running out. if only there were more time to write about time.
oh no, what to do?
ironically, if you go faster, according to Einstein, your own time would slow down compared to your surrounding still at normal speed. ah, so write like hell, go fast fast fast. nope, mistake!
slowing down your own time is no help in this case, you need to accelerate your own time to have more of it and slow down the surrounding so the deadline comes closer slower.
so in that case, you need to slow down yourself and make the rest of the universe go faster to slow it down. head spinning already? no worries. you can achieve the same with a high force of gravity.
the more gravity you experience, the slower your passing of time compared to the places with lower gravity (they actually had to compensate for that on the satellites around earth, they are so far away, they lose a few milliseconds every year so GPS would be way off if Einstein had been wrong about that one).
And getting more gravity might even be possible. You just need to get closer to the middle of the earth. But it will only shave of ~2 milliseconds per year.
In this day of age that might be the time your computer needs to submit your click on the send button. So there you go, no more worries to click that in time.

[palomap3]

Wow. If this is an appetizer of what lies ahead, I surrender at your feet. Impressive. 🙌

[hannes-stoffel]

thank you, but don't. As mentioned, just rambling thoughts. Don't even make sense. The gravity thing got me again, more gravity -> slower time actually means less time compared to the others so while I might still be thinking about pushing the send button, the outside is already a few steps ahead and the deadline passed.
So there you go, made a blunder already.
That's why I usually stay away from that stuff 😋

[samsmith1971]

[creatr]

Greetings, @ijohnsen,

I enjoyed reading your entry about time. I found it to be a good collection of short observations that should make a person think. As mere mortals, that is a good thing!:

"A good name is better than precious ointment,
  and the day of death than the day of birth.
It is better to go to the house of mourning
  than to go to the house of feasting,
for this is the end of all mankind,
  and the living will lay it to heart." - Ecclesiastes 7:1-2

😄😇😉

[ijohnsen]

Thank you @creatr really appreciate your words
And I'm glad you you love it.

[hannes-stoffel]

very philosophical, made me pause for a second and think about it.

And here's my Entry!!!

[creatr]

Hey there, @deraaa,

Your story captivated me right from the outset.

As a septuagenarian myself, my wife also in her mid 70's, I identify strongly with the scene and the emotions you've captured so well here.

My only small encouragement might be for you to go back and do a careful edit for a few relatively minor deficiencies in English—grammar details such as number, tense, an occasional misspelled word...

Apart from that, please don't change a thing in this brilliant, evocative story!

😄😇😉

[deraaa]

Oh thank you very much!!! I really appreciate your words and observations. I'll go check it out now. Gracias Amigo!!❣️❤️

Time! The concept is just tooo vast! Who can understand it? I guess in this episode, we'll see from different eyes and through different beliefs what time means to some. I really can't wait! To read I mean... Infact, I'll go peruse the comments right now.

Time is something I've always been fascinated with. Before I blab too much and end up writing a post instead of comment 😂, I'll just shortly say Time on it's own is a universe. And for so many years, I tried to understand the whole thing behind it. Never worked but! I did find amazing things I can't wait to share... I love this Sam! This is just beautiful

[samsmith1971]

[nickydee]

Well

I lost a week... because it was time to slow down and be fully present

And I'm pretty not so well as well now

The bugs weren't bugs. It was the tick. Some variant of Lyme disease and boy does it wipe a person out

Had it for a while now but at least I know what it is

So this one may be small and simple

Getting Part 3 done was super hard! And I'm super tired right now...

But I always keep my promises. Even if they take me far, far away. *stolen

So I shall do the same here 💗

[samsmith1971]

Oh noooooo, Nicky! I'm so sorry... please just get some rest... time to get better❣️ Please don't push yourself to write... just take care of you and come back when you feel stronger. Sending my love and a big hug 🤗💗 !LUV !LADY

Have you heard of the coherent breathing technique, Nicky?

Take care of you, my lovely. 🤗

[nickydee]

Well I've now heard of two more weeks of antibiotics, that tick something or other is a bit of a mare, that the allergies and hives weren't the laundry expedition and that rolling around on the earth on the mountain next door should be followed by a scan upon return

Who knew??? 🤨

I haven't heard of coherent breathing but am going to research it absolutely and without doubt

This sounds super interesting...

Thank you! 🙏👍🥰

[juliamulcahy]

You're welcome. Listen to this, if you get the chance. Patricia's story is at 08:49 and she discusses her journey with and through Lyme disease. 💛

Greetings, @samsmith1971!

I'm grateful to Dreemport for this interesting challenge, and to you for the detailed explanation of how to respond to it. For reasons I have yet to understand, it often takes a challenge to inspire me to creative efforts, and this was no exception... thank you for the reminder that a contest was afoot. Here is my entry:

"Time's Undoing"—A Sonnet

Now I'm off to support some other entrants to the challenge, and I'll return to edit this message once I've completed that task.

I've visited and engaged with several authors, and hope to do some more later.😉
