Most Likely, Last Time Appearing on Hubpages......
Hey Hubbers,
Shadesbreath and I would like to give you an experience that you might not have received yet during your time on Hubpages.
So, with that said- How about trying an INSTANT Hub Challenge. What is a "Instant" Hub Challenge?
Well, I'm glad you asked- It's about consciously writing one hub in 30 minutes, beginning at a time designated by either Shadesbreath or myself and when time is done, hit publish.
Shadesbreath and I will both read and comment on the hub you produce. However, this might be your only chance to do one, because I haven't been doing them, due to other duties elsewhere and Shadesbreath has been shamelessly self promoting his book.
So, there is a good chance another opportunity like this might not come along? One can never tell.
Rules- (a)Hub must be 400 words in length and (b) The hub cannot be anything that you were working on or have unpublished already, and (c) You cannot start until it is posted in the forum- GOOOOOOOOOOO!
*you can setup your URL, title, category and get ready to click create hub, but you must not start the process until told to start.
Come join Shadesbreath and Me.
Scroll up, yo.
I don't wear ties, I'm already barefoot, and the best booze in my house is Crystal Lite Peach Tea, but I'm on it...just say when, big guy!

0Hell, I'll give it a shot.
I make no promises, but I can crank something out in 30 minutes.Nice to see you Motown and glad to see you're going to give it a try. I have faith in you, believe it or not.
Thanks, Cags. That means a lot, actually.
You're welcome. I'm just not sure if Shadesbreath is going to make it. I have faith in him too, but it could seriously depend on how much he has had to drink.
Shadebreath is all that his avatar is.....
No, you just get to write another one.
This time, wait till we say "GOOOOOOOOOO"Did you stay up all night, just in case an Internet stranger put out a bizarre "do this now" request?
Oh how I laughed when I read the next comment... "No, you just get to write another one".
Jewels, you know you want to write something. Commit to run with the dogs of 30 minute hub challenge. Lay some hub poop and clean it up tomorrow.
Yay! I believe in you, Mark Ewbie, don't give up!
All hubbers welcomed.
Come try it? Are we ready?
Do you have your topic?
Do you have your thoughts in order?
Do you feel the adrenaline? Anxious to begin? - Motown2Chitownposted 13 years ago0
I'm so excited...Two minutes!
Yay!

What are you looking for? Sh1t, it was a quarter to two in the morning!
LMAO, I know. If I wouldn't have been too busy creating a math formula for piss and giggles to see the thread, I would have done much worse.
BUT...Since I didn't I can poke from outside and feel all superior and stuffGreat job everyone.
We can make new "old days" if we make it fun.
Community is about the people in it. It's true that HP might be too far gone and hoping that they can make enough rules and regulations to save it, but I expect the company is still small enough to see how that won't work
We can only try, and hope they go back to empowering US, the people who ARE them.I'm all for new old days! Where do I sign?

This was a great deal of fun - thanks for jumping on board as a follower, Jewels. I hope you like what you see!
Shades and Cags, kudos to you both. This was really a blast! You are really right.
I've been around for three years now. Truth be told, I've seen it happen three times now. It's actually sort of a summer thing.
Little summer camps of free people find each other, engage, actually connect, and then really end up reading each others stuff, even make real friendships.
Then the dream ends... and, well, "I'll write you every day."
Etc.
But some of it remains. Old people meet new, etc. You get it.
But, the honeymoon feeling never comes back, so, we all have our "sweet memories" part. You can build new ones once you stop trying to remake the thing that's gone.
Or something. lol.
I probably need to stop drinking and go to bed.Hell, I wouldn't even be here if not for a friend I made on the internet...lol And, I'm actually thrilled to have found this place. Four months and 46 1/2 hubs later, I feel right at home.
Yeah, bed sounds good too. It's 4:35am here now. I guess I can blame the lateness on Shadesbreath, who likes to procrastinate. The mister unmotivated to feed himself, that he needs to substitute it for alcohol.
Great job everyone. It was fun. Good night! Goodnight, Cags! Peace!
Nite peeps.
I'm sure if you held another one at a better time and with more warning, more people'd come. There's no reason to stop having them.
I used to love these challenges back on my old,old account. I wish I could have participated in this one
My memory isn't that bad.
I have only done about a dozen of these challenges without Shadesbreath and have only done 5 with him. But, if you don't want to tell me then that is your choice. I guess it really doesn't make a difference.
I understand what you're saying.Missed this one because a lightening bolt took out two trees in my front yard and then ran inside on my ground wire knocking out my modem, my Netflix and other streaming device, plus my wireless router.
Welcome back, Ray! I hope you learned your lesson since you got your legs switched by the mods!Thank you Randy.
Sorry to hear about what happened. I hope it didn't cost you too much to fix. 
Gotta buy a new router and the Wi is fried. I live atop a ridge with tall pines growing all around me so I usually unplug everything when a storm gets near.
This one snuck up on me as the first lightning bolt heard was the destructive one. So far, about a dozen trees near my home have been struck by lightening. Never a dull moment here!It's because of all the fire and brimstone in the area Randy.
It seems to anger the gods.No, no earnest....fire and brimstone please the gods silly, haven't you heard?

My hubs not appearing in HubPages site search
Just a question. Why is that when I try to search for my hubs using words in the title, that they do not come up when I search hub pages? I tried "Queer." and "Camping" and the ones I was looking for never showed up. I also tried doing a search by date, and nothing.I hope...
