Please Note: Our challenges are changing. From April 2025, we will no longer publish the Wednesday Challenge. Instead, Gerry and I will take turns issuing the Weekend Challenge.
In May 2018, WordPress announced its intention to abandon its long-time practice of providing weekly photo challenges and daily word prompts to creative camera bugs and wordsmiths.
Gerry says – Like many others, I too became despondent and was thinking of abandoning my site and would search for a more user-friendly alternative. My friend Susan (SueW) was more optimistic about the change and saw it as a chance to be more creative.
After some discussion, we decided to take our friendship in a new direction and team up as partners to create an alternative site, “Weekly Prompts,” a second chance to be creative, aimed at writers, poets, and photographers who still craved the opportunity to present their work to the public.
Launched at the beginning of June 2018, our newly conceived site attempted to fill the creative void that developed after the discontinuation of the popular WordPress site’s feature. ~ GC.
SueW says – Initially, we provided one weekly word prompt and one weekly photo challenge. After a rethink, a year after the launch, we changed the format to a more flexible one of combined challenges of words and/or pictures, poetry or rhyme – published Wednesday and Saturday. From April 2025, we changed the format once again to weekend challenges only where we each take turns to issue the challenges.
Due to a number of queries from bloggers, soon after our launch the ’How To’ feature was added to our site. These support pages continue to be updated in response to queries from our readers. ~
