# hahaha
and woo to the pic, although careful about doing too many and shoving them up - this is an unpopular compo and you wouldn't want to spam up the boards and put posts people have put a lot of effort into further down the board ;)

I suspect it was a regular messing around. Harmless and funny though :)

# happens in varying degress with all challenges
and I'll say again, a compo is only as good as the effort put in and the direction you try to approach it from.

# The thing is just that some challenges cause a larger amount of lower quality entries as others
but most challenges tend to get more than a few good attempts made at them.

The thing to remember is that this is no different to if there wasn't a challenge anyway, you'll always get a lot of dross posted with a few gems thrown in here and there.

# I always am be wised
just my previous long term stint on the board ground me down so I stopped trying to talk sense to people.
I mean being sensible towards people on the internet, what was i thinking?!

# Starting last week I made a promise to myself
to try and do atleast one decent thing for each challenge from now on, to make sure I stay in the habit of pissing about making silly things.

# That's a good plan
and I do my best to make a pic for each challenge too. Sometimes I just don't have any ideas though and I don't seem to be able to force myself to think that way, it just happens when it's ready.
