Yes, I've been suspending Luna accounts off and on for a few days. I imagine Bill has too.
Persistent, I must say.

The window key has a keycap with four equally divided squares on it. Usually way over on the lower left next to the left CTRL key.

Next Big Writer really needs to have writing contests and prompts.
I believe it will spur more activity, more reviews, more critiques, and growth.
Prizes don't have to be monetary, but Member's Points so no money is lost by NBW.
Let's face it, NBW is dying a slow death.
The membership, including myself, have slowed down in their writing/posting.
Why?
We have found other websites offering more activity and interactivity with other writers, writing prompts, and contests to get the creative juices flowing.
I came here at the recommendation of another writer here, but even she seems to have gone M.I.A.
I'm not saying we all don't have lives outside writing because we do.
It's just disheartening to watch NBW continue its death spiral because there used to be so many more active writers here.
Right now there's only a handful.
A lot of new members post once or twice abd then move on to other, more active websites.
This is my opinion, I hope I'm wrong.

I've been away for almost five months., but I plan to return in several days. As most of the folks here know, my wife passed away in late May. There have been significant legal issues to resolve plus the natural grieving process. I've been to St. Louis; Denver, Colorado twice; Bakersfield, California; and San Antonio, Texas - all issues to do with Diana's passing, most of which could not be resolved on-line or by phone in a timely matter. The legal issues are resolved now. The grieving is running its course and I'm doing much better on that journey.

I'm going to pause or take down most of what I have posted on the site in a few days. This site has been good to me. I owe it, and the people here, more respect and support. I'll work hard at that. So ,,,

I'm starting a new writing adventure - new genre and writing style - Global Espionage Thriller. I've spent the past several weeks researching and reading novels in the genre. Randall Krzak, here on the site, is an excellent writer and his novels are meticulously written. He doesn't know it yet, but he's been a big inspiration for me.

So, I'm kind of starting from scratch. I promise timely reviews of other writers' works and equally timely replies to reviews of my posted works from here out. Before Diana passed, much of my time was reserved for her care as she was totally dependent on me for everything. She was always my first priority. Also, as the long-tenured members of the site know, I'm a professional songwriter and guitarist. I've completed all my existing contracts, and I am not accepting any more. That took large blocks of my time. That significant time commitment, caring for Diana and writing and recording the musical stuff, is now available to me to do with as I choose. I have chosen to write better and to be more diligent on the site.

Looking forward to this new adventure. See ya soon.

When AI starts telling all supporters of Trump how and why they should get rid of Trump in no uncertain terms any time he is mentioned, I might start believing it has merit in any type of communication. Take care. Vern

Wow... President Trump lives rent free in your head.
