Better Words

AJ tweaked the code that pulls the random word, so hopefully it won’t pull words that have no definition, even if they are words that are used.

Hopefully they will be better going forward!

**edit**

AJ decided to collate a bunch of words instead of the api so there are over 1000 words in the list enough for 3 years of never duplicating, but I’m sure there will be duplicates as it’s just a random number being created each day. If you see a strange word from here on out AJ can remove it from the list and it’ll never show up again.

You might have noticed

Today there are a lot of words and an extra photo prompt.

AJ is working on moving the automatic generation away from Digital Ocean, and moving it to edge functions on Netlify. I don’t expect anyone to understand that but that’s what it is at present.

So for the next couple days you may see double posts while AJ makes sure that the new stuff is posting as intended. (And she says there is a bug she can’t figure out why it’s not working. So there is that bit of fun too.)

I THINK if we got things right, the new version of posts will hit a round midnight CST time. So hopefully that’ll happen too.

Story Craft Cafe

I’m gonna reblog this for ya’ll, since ya’ll write — otherwise why do you need writing prompts. AJ’s day job started up a new writing community you should check it out!

The Mind of Nox

I’ve said it before AJ now works for Dabble. Today they launched their brand new community Story Craft Cafe. If you are a writer you should go check it out. Even if you don’t use Dabble software this is a new community just for you. (I almost said ya’ll… *glares at AJ*)

All this month they are doing live streams with famous authors (yes I said famous with a u! I’m not changing it!) Today they are going to be talking with the guy who wrote Eragon.

They are also having a give-a-way every Friday. A year subscription to Writing Mastery Academy

I know a lot of you are writers out there so this is your casual invite. Join up talk writing and have fun writing.

A Change

So AJ moved servers this afternoon. We should get our new posts as usual times but if not please say something. I will keep an eye out to make sure it hits today/tomorrow

The word list has changed. AJ picked out 1000 unique words from a random generator. So they might show up as they already have been done, but it’s a new list of words. Should last us 2 years without duplicates (I hope)

If there is anything anyone would like to see here comment here and we’ll see what we can do.

Sorry about that!

I didn’t realize you guys weren’t getting any new prompts. It was a thing that we could have fixed easily. AJ’s done gone and fixed it. And checked to make sure it’s all up and running.

I will likely partaking of the latest words and maybe photos for a while. My story ran out and I need some inspiration and randomness to keep the blog alive.

Again I’m sorry about that, keep on writing! We love seeing your stuff!
