If you do not have much time to contribute should you skip joining a team and groupts? It appears the welfare of teams and groups depends on the accumulation of points which requires time of members. Would it be better just to be a loan wolf or continue contributing sporadically and haphazardly somewhere else? -On the road again...-
Answers to this question:Hello Suzy, absolutely not! :) One doesn't have to be more active than now if he/she has joined a group, you can write at any pace you want!
SearchWarp or lone wolf? Why not both? I do not consider SearchWarp a competition. I think of it as an open forum with writing as the central idea. If you only get to one article a year, that's okay. I know people who can produce pages of text, none of it very good. I also know others who produce very little but it's always a gem. Consider this as an inspiration, a safety net, a group of writers who play off each other. Much like exercise, the more you do it, the better you get. Points, like money, are okay . . . what will you do with it? If you are prolific enough, contribute anything you can anywhere you can. Your being able to ask the question is a brain teaser of sorts and I love an intellectual challenge.
Thanks, Octavia. I appreciate all the responses. I think my question originally stemmed from not understanding the purpose of teams and groups at Searchwarp. Somehow, the thought of writing as a responsibility knowing the un predictability of other commitments I have--through me off. I guess I consider writing to having cathartic and relaxing value. All of a sudden, it seemed to take on the same pressure as other facets of my life.
I don't really see that it matters. If you want to join a group or groups, but don't have the time to be a "significant" contributor, you should still join. It can be fun to be part of a group and chart its progress. And any contribution that you do make ... no matter how "small" ... is still a contribution. Frequency does not change that.
I give what time I can spare from my day-to-day to SearchWarp and the groups I have joined. When I have a lot to do, SW gets less. When I have a lot of free time, SW gets more. It's all part of the ebb and flow of life.
It appears that this "team" effort was instituted to create writings towards SW quantity, and not SW quality, which may be a misperception of mine.
well if you knw about wolves if ur a lone wolf ur chance of survival is some what diminished because ur nt with the pack
Shelley, that wasn't even subtle. I appreciate your response though and got a grin from it.
I must say, I am enjoying this cozy, warm, chummy feel. It far surpasses..., well let's say some other web addresses.
You'd miss out on all the coming fun.
It appears, that during this organized group writing day camp exercise, 'color war' looms next..
Ohhh, I am intrigued.
A community of writers have more power as a group. The article contributions help everyone.
