I'll start!

I think the fact that I HAD to write by a certain time, made it more stressful. If I only had 5 minutes (freewrite) I wouldn't have time to stress!
But having a full week actually made it m ore difficult in a way??? LOL

When you're building the future it's tough to find time for challenges even when you create them lol

yes yes yes. for me - this one was SO hard. hahaha I was writing all week for prepping everyone on #dreemport but then wanting to participate. I was staring at the screen for days!

but then - FINISHED!
WELL.... with part 1 hahahaa

like a boss

That's true, it's really tough to find time for challenges but it's so cool how @dreemsteem does it, she's just amazing as I will always say 😊.

#dreemport.

Yes, indeed, she is. Cannot wait to find out what will happen next on #dreemport

Yes me too, #dreemport is full of so many surprises, you can't even guess what's going to happen, hehehe.

this is the way

You're are right, God has given you all you need to create a bridge between people through our favorite #dreemport and you are doing a really good job with it. God bless you always.

Makes sense! I think I'm freaking out, as you Americans say. I'll just take a deep breath and write for five minutes, see where it takes me.

hehehehe you're American now?!?!?! I LOVE IT!!! she's freaking out! hahahaha

that's right - start with five. and then let it grow!
you know you've got this!! you're an amazing writer :)

...you're an amazing writer

That's the first thing I saw 😂. Now, I'm motivated to write!
#dreemport

WOOOOOOOT. THAT'S RIGHT.

that's what we focus on! hahahaha

You're right Dreemie, the fact we had a lot of time made us really lazy in a way because I'm still so struggling with mine.

#dreemport.

hehehe I was so worried yesterday!! that I wouldn't have anything!!
(but my deadline was a day before all of yours! haha) and so I was feeling what you are feeling now.

but i bet the same thing that happened to me- will happen to you!

I just couldn't run away anymore. hehe and then my brain said ok fine. i'll give you a story! haha

Hehehe, I think you are right, my brain will just have to get right on it when it sees that there's no more time left, lol.

Thank you for sharing your story with me, you just gave me more morale #dreemport.

Don't tell me this ever again. You would be more creative with 1 week

#dreemport

If too much time is your problem, why not waste a little of it at the beginning?
Or until last minute before submitting to #dreemport

hehehe for me, I tried to keep focusing but you know there is that psychological situation happening LOL have more time, waste more time LOL

maybe #dreemport needs short deadlines? LOL

#procrastinatorsanonymous LOL

Oh oh... please don't 😄
Deadlines at #dreemport are good the way they are. Still gotta make time for family and day-job 😉

hahahahaa there is no way I would shorten our #dreemport deadlines. LOLOL family and job need their time - so we can dreeeeeeem :)

Yeah it's always... hey, I have time right? #dreemport challenge lasts a week?... but then suddenly... eeek gotta write! I am almost there myself. Inspiration just hit the last few days! Started proper last night 😂

#dreemport is not even immune to the temptations of procrastination! hehehehe we writers always find a way to ...... daydreem LOL

I've found all the interruptions a big challenge! Hahaha. Kittens, threads, dog walks, dissertation help. Eventually, I'll get back to it. Hope to make the 5pm PST deadline to #dreemport

No one is allowed to bother you for the rest of the day! not even #dreemport! LOLOL you go get your story done! heheheh

Phew! The story's published. Now I'm doing my 5-a-day curation on #DreemPort before I finally submit it to the best port there is. Lol!

i'm so proud of you... this week was really tough for our Ambassadors at #dreemport! I have to say - I was a bit worried all week. LOL I know that its just the debut contest though! so a lot to be worked out hehehe so i won't worry long term! but you all worked extra hard! I hope you enjoy this weekend thoroughly!

Thanks, Dreemie! It was a full-on week for sure. But, it was also incredibly fulfilling.

I love being an Ambassador for #dreemport!

'An attempt to beat the creativity of Dreemie'

That's up there with the most challenging part anyone can face in this. Haha. #dreemport

hahahahaha come on! you are the second one to say that!! Your partner in crime @kemmyb said it too!

there is no "beat" only "BRING" YOUR TALENT hahahaaha
I'm not even ranked in #dreemport. LOL

When you dropped your entry, it was game on! 😉😄 Kidding

Gosh, I need coffee! Why are we #threading again? I seem to be missing something ☕☕☕

oh girl.... just wait!!!
did you see the note in dreem teem in #dreemport???

remember twitter tornadoes?
well that was a small group of UU in millions of twitters.

Imagine all of us now - here. we are gonna have some FUN tomorrow at 9am PST.

Ohhhh, now it's hive tornado! Whoop, whoop! 😂
I'm in! We add the hashtag in every comment, yes?
#dreemport

hehehehehe the official term is threadstorm i guess hahahaha
so wooooot - 18more minutes and we go try it LOL

#dreemport tornados are better! I was not part of the UU trending in twitterbug lol... but happy to be here now.

Not ranked in #dreemport ... ? so hilarious... #number1

Have you seen her story yet? You need a great set of gloves my friend hahaha. Our fearless #dreemport leader has written a epic part 1 💗

Hahah... That's who she is. Always giving her best when she is sure she won't get into the ranking on #dreemport. Haha

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Hehehe, tats just one sweet thing about our favorite #dreemport leeder ❤️.

It was indeed a great read, I'm waiting Patiently to read the other part.
#dreemport.

Ohhhh no! I can't even imagine of doing this

Lol... You are having so much fun already. Haha.

Looking forward to your submission to #dreemport

Omg #dreemport challenge is today? I totally did it then this cat popped up on my screen and scratched sand over my work... Guess I gotta restart.

Today I taught my son a lesson. I ate his homework. Tomorrow he will learn that people don't always believe you, especially when you tell the truth.

Uh, might make a nice post for #dreemport challenge. Theme would be humor I guess

I think there are too many kitties on your screen kinda like mine... juggling between #dreemport & feeding kitties on the kittycam hehe

The cat cannot bother you from your #dreemport homework! Because you're feeding the cat too much and he is too lazy now! LOL
#stopfeedingcats LOL

Hola everyone! #dreemport

Are you ready to submit the part 1 portion of your #dreemrport challenge? hehe What did you think was the hardest part of it this week?

Sadly, no! 😔

I hate to make excuses, but it was a "difficult" week and I didn't come around to doing much on Hive. How has been the response/participation in general going?

Hello sir 👋, welcome to the trail #dreemport.

Thank you very much! #dreemport

You're welcome Sir.
#dreemport.

Good morning! You don't have to call me Sir. 😊 You can call me AC or pasajero or Armando 👍

Have a blessed Sunday!

Good afternoon now, it's afternoon over here 😁. OK I think I will go with AC then 🤗.

Hope you are doing fine? It's been a while I've seen you in the #dreemport site 😌.

Good morning, @hopestylist! Yes, it has been a while. Last week was a bit busy, but this week I am back in business! #dreemport

Have a great week!

It's not really easy for me as I thought it would be but I'm going to keep challenging myself before the time runs out and I hope to come up with something really good.

#dreemport.

you will. ❤️

i've been suggesting to people that they use prompts to get started!

so maybe go do a 5 minute freewrite - and see if that sparks anything.
if not... try another! hehehe

Okay I will, I'm trying to reply to all my comments first then I get started.

Thank you for the tips Dreemie ❤️.
#dreemport.

Don't pressure yourself too much. Part of #dreemport means growing together and if you make no mistakes there's nothing to learn and then you cannot grow

I hope you're making good progress with your #dreemport challenge! :) We are doing a #threadstorm now!! hehehe

Not yet, I'm so confused now 😩. But I know I will just have to do something before the time elapses.

#dreemport.

Same, luckily you only really need one story, you can always use that as a surprise foundation for next weeks #dreemport #scholarandscribe challenge.

You're right, let's see how it goes with the #dreemport challenge 😊.

The most challenging part was making it a short story. I think one day I'll take the time and put in much more, I had so many Ideas about background and exposition. And keeping part 2 short in my head is already freaking me out.

hehehe this is just the start! :)

even after the challenge - you can do much more than this - and i hope that you do!
my suggestion is start writing part 2- and then mid-week, start to edit down. editing is SO important!

i can't wait to see what you've written!!!

Oh interesting. Seems, there can be a thread in a thread... So we're developing a tree here.
Back to you, deemy: can't start yet, big weekend ahead with family bbq on sunday at my place.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

hahaha yes - its just like comments

or tweets!

ahhh then you just go and enjoy family!!! perhaps they will give some massive inspiration this weekend!!!! wonderful!!! weekends are CLOSED for #dreemport!
family time on those days! hahaha

but it's also a new feature. we should test it extensively. how deep can we go? muahahaha

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

hahahahaha oh pretty deep! LOL

we broke it earlier today hahahaha
but they have it back on! this is what we are gonna do tomorrow for fun! hehe

but they have a 5000 LEO contest - so first we will jump on the #dreemport thread.

then .. more fun!

anyone ever told you you got a wicked mind (meant as a compliment of course)?
you already had the #dreemport thread in mind and hold back until now.
also: chapeau for keeping it under wraps until now :-)

Here you are!!! Having so much fun already with #dreemport. Haha

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Who said there is need for a short Story? @dreemsteem ?
Couldnt be part 4... 5...6... 7...

Oh right, after submitting three parts to #dreemport I can continue posting future chapters.
Wonderful suggestion

Yeah, it is like 1 full story but 3 short stories each with its own start, middle and sensible end. I always find excluding all the fluff then again tempted to see the reaction from curators on #dreemport on a 30min read...

I'm trying for three parts for my #dreemport entry.
first part exposition and first peril
second part building up suspense for the big problem
third part resolution

Another challenge in itself was coming up with a hook to end part 1 for the #dreemport serial fiction challenge too... keeping that in mind is important too.

yeah, got mine, too
also important for myself so I submit part 2 and 3 to #dreemport
guess if I don't there could be a few people demanding it (biggest praise for a writer imo and would really honor me)

You know what I did today? hehehe I started writing sections of part 2 and part 3. just completely out of order. Whenever I "saw" an interaction, I wrote it down. I want to enjoy week 2 of this #dreemport challenge more! hehehe

I started writing mine last night, broke the back of part 1, so it will be finished later today and shared in #Dreemport. It's interesting writing with a longer view in mind, and this one? I cannot really draw from experience... lol.

I'm so excited! seeing more and more people coming to #dreemport to have this FUN experience of meeting communities! I love that this challenge was challenging - but not too intimidating! even though you had to "break the back" of it! lol

I wonder at which point the exponential growth will kick in to #dreemport and how you will cope with it.

This is a good question!

I did think of this from the start when I first conceived of #dreemport. And I think we have already weathered the first increase well, (and the second too)
Of course going 10x will really test us LOL but the scalability is dispersed over the members. I think I'm going to explain this in a #threadstorm

which - by the way - I think our #threadstorm might have been the wrong way.
I'm going to try a new one - based off of what your comment inspired in me! hehehe

Lolzzz... Well, this is your masterpiece Sam.

You are raising the bar of this. Hahah.

Looking forward to your submission to #dreemport

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

I found that the middle part I want to submit to #dreemport next week is way too long in my head.

Uh, maybe I'll make it a series...

Look at your Mrs.5 year plan. Hopefully #dreemport don't notice my lack of a plan :)

As at now, just few hours to deadline... I'm still struggling with the idea to write mine out.
3 serial story is no easy one 😅 but I guess the idea part of it is the hardest for me, once out... I'll go smoothly after.
Back to my story brainstorming idea, I'm sure I'll meet the deadline ❤️
Thanks for asking 😩🤣

How are you doing with the #dreemport challenge now, Merit? If you're still struggling, grab a prompt and write part 1. Then next week, challenge yourself with a new prompt to work part 2 around... crazy fun times hehehe ...or grab a sentence starter.

I've been grabbing but it just gets difficult for me, I honestly don't know what's stopping the flow since all the time I've been brainstorming on an idea... Maybe it's the non stop headache I've been having 😩🥺

maybe you can write about the headache... as if it is force thats been put on you to stop you from becoming who you were meant to be. hehehehe

take ideas from everything! even the pain.

but I hope that your pain passes soon - because it is one of the worst pains... migraines :(

Oh ma'am, this comment has just saved me... You won't get why I say it until you see the story I come up with once I leave here, you just gave me an idea 😩 the headache is still there but I'm going to fight through it... Thanks a lot ma'am ❤️

Hehe. Just like me. The idea is the most difficult but #dreemport made us land above our expectations

Yeah, so right 😁😍

Seems like I'm not alone in the dark, now I'm confident I will see the light, lol.

#dreemport.

Haha please see the light o
I'm looking forward to reading lots of stories once I'm able to submit mine 😍

yes hehehe its too dangerous to read a story before you've written your own LOL
I try to never do it! or else the words find their way into my story! LOLOL

Hahahaha you understand so well 🥺😍❤️

Hahaha, I already read from others but their line of story is so much different from mine, I can't even put it in my own if I even wanted to 😂😂.

Me too 😊.

Is the light coming yet? hehehehe I hope! :)

Yes, I have something and now I just hope my readers enjoy it.

HOORAY!!!!!!!!!! I KNEW YOU WOULD DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I'm happy I could come up with something 😊.

I just posted my entry in #Ecency and I can't be more happy. Thank you #DreemPort for this.

Hahah.... There you are. Having so much fun already with #dreemport

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

I cannot wait to read all these entries this weekend! I'm not sure if #dreemport HAS EVER had this many before! Will we get to read them all??? gahhh! Well we have a week to do it - and BINGO CARDS thanks to #ecency! :)

I won't hand in my bingo card for #dreemport :-(

Started visiting and leaving comments but didn't take note of who. And I do not want to go through my comment history, too much work.

Yeah :-)
Going for the full three parter for the #dreemport challenge?

Yes, it’s my idea. We will see if I do. How about you?

I just submitted my first part to #dreemport :-) Jippieh

💪🙌 Yesssss!!! You did it!!

haha Paloma...you are ahead of the game. Nice one! My #dreemport part 1 is coming to Ecency this evening! I actually can't wait to get back to it... and flesh it out. So fun!

Looking forward to reading it on #dreemport , will save up some #ecency points to sprinkle a bit more pzazzzz on your submission :)

The most challenging part of this task? Finding the time!!! hahaha... I'm kinda diving straight into the deep end with this 3-part serial fiction #dreemport challenge / Scholarandscribe challenge. SO much fun... I'm almost done! !ALIVE

@dreemsteem! You Are Alive so I just staked 0.1 $ALIVE to your account on behalf of @samsmith1971. (4/10)

The tip has been paid for by the We Are Alive Tribe through the earnings on @alive.chat, feel free to swing by our daily chat any time you want.

Ok, I got my first part for #dreemport challenge ready, now working on the header image.
And still waiting for my native speaker proofreader.

Hahah... So much work for your proofreader. Now I'm afraid you might have written a 10,000 words story. Haha

Na, only ~1500 Words... after all, it's for #dreemport and people curate 5 posts daily so have to find a nice middle ground... ~7 minutes reading time seems ok imo

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

That's pretty cool for a first part of a story that has 3 parts. Hahah.

#dreemport will have so much fun for this.

I already read some #dreemport entries that are already posted and it's fascinating to see the differences in told time. Some use 1000 words to describe 5 minutes and some use 1000 words to describe a few days.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Hahah... This will introduce us to DIFFERENT writing techniques. Hahah. It will be so fun. Lolz. Haha #dreemport

hahaha nice that you have a proofreader! That is very smart! Would be nice to have an official title like this at #dreemport to help people! hehehehe

Isn't it always the image that takes so much time?? LOL

I'm recycling the image of my introduction post but assembling an image to accompany the main story.
So I will put the second one as the #dreemport submission pic though

I'm nnot sure what you mean but I trust it will be just perfect! hehehehe

Ah, changed my mind again. Tweaked the header of my intro-post a little bit and just submitted to #dreemport

Especially for non-natives the little things are a cultural nightmare.
But he's still offline so had to submit to #dreemport without my final changes being checked.

ahhh shall I take a look???

I'd be happy to assist :)

sure, every help is appreciated https://ecency.com/hive-199275/@hannes-stoffel/time-will-tell-part-1
I already submitted to #dreemport but I can always edit any big blunders.
Won't hit the edit button for a wrong comma though, that ship has sailed (after reading you get the pun)

hehehe yes i don't really edit for commas and stuff when it's for a post. I try to leave as much of the person behind as possible and only correct for actual wrong words and such! hehehe

and yes - i got the pun! and.... i also didn't need the link cuz i snuck right into the screening page for DreemPort hahahahaha

sneaky 😉
thanks for your help, I edited the blunder.

sill working on what may or may not be a multipart story

Hahah... Anything and everything about Wilma is cool 😂

Bring them to #dreemport

It's so funny that we are all so uncertain of where it will go! But that is so much fun! Because it's all part of the drive!
go #dreemport for pushing us all hehehe

Its D-Day and all the entries are already buzzing on #dreemport. Haha.

This was supposed to be HARD. I guess it wasn't hard enough for Dreemers. Jaha

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

The most challenging part for the task was to come up with the story idea that I can continue up till 3 parts, because fiction seems to be one of the most difficult type of writing to me.

But yaaaay! #Dreemport made me do so

heheehe I missed this!!! but #dreemport is so thrilled that you did this!!!! heheheh and me too! lol

And me too with #dreemport... hehe

I haven't participated in this contest #dreemport but I do participate in ecotrain and dreemport collage since than I started making collages almost each sunday. Thanks #dreemport for bringing my talent to light.

The most challenging...
Not really knowing if I am on the right way with my Story
And..........
TRANSLATING a 3000 words Text..........

I wrote for 5 mins then I lost the inspiration. Now I'm going in for round two he he not going down without a fight

C'mon bro. Hahah. You asked for it. Lolz.

Better bring your full creativity to #dreemport. Haha

Started it. Finished it even. Now to formatting the post & adding names to Bingo card.
Hope to get it into #dreemport before the deadline. That will be my biggest challenge. Lol!

Keeping it entertaining

To stop my procrastination and get writing. This was also the first writing piece where I needed to do a little research on some things to fit the story.

that can be a really tricky thing! hehe to add in research! For me it always pulls me a bit out of the writing experience and I have to find my way back in! But how exciting to see that you tried something new here for #dreemport! (did you see we are ranked #6 in trending annd closing on #5 hehe)

Luckily it was just a few small details so it wasn't too bad.

I am not surprised as #dreemport is the most engaging community on #hive! 😎

hehehe - and we did that with only about 12 of us. hehehe
Imagine if we all joined in for a REAL attempt! hehehe

would be a BLAST lol

We might actually try it! hahahaha

Hey, hi there, how are you? What's up? We meet again :)

I'm not sure if I'm making my story a one-shot or continuing it and making it 3-parter...

Can't wait for Monday so I can get feedback and decide based on it.
