So I've been looking around on Google and other places, and I can't seem to find anything quite like what i'm looking for, so i thought, "Hmmm, sen is pretty dang good at solving problems, ask them :) "

I'm trying to find an online writing community, where basically they give you an essay topic for the day/week, and you write the essay and submit. Does anyone know of / think they can find a place like what i described. Like I've said, I've looked around, but can't seem to find it. :( Hopefully a place like this exists, because I would really like to get involved.

Thanks.
(ps, i think this topic goes here since its literature related, if not please place accordingly)

I don't know of any such community. Perhaps you'd like to organize something similar at SEN? There are a few people with writing skills around here.

I'm a logical-mathmatical thinker, and I would enjoy it :) I want to improve my writing skills. I just wanted to concur with JaFF.

What kind of essays though? You would need someone to come up with intelligent prompts, have some material to read and write about, you would need someone who is very good at writing too. I am fortunate enough to have had an english teacher who was simply amazing, and it wasn't until I had her that I realized that stuff I thought was good, really wasn't. I think a lot of people have the same problem I had. I only mention this because hopefully you would want the caliber of your contest or forum to be high, unless it's just an informal thing I guess.

That's what i'm talking about, I want intelligent prompts, that excite the mind ya know? I couldn't really organize it because I'm not very good at writing, but I want to do this to improve. Anyway, if someone else on sen(who is qualified) wants to run the show and do like a weekly essay, I'll participate :)

Ultraviolet -- That's strange, it looks like you targeted the base image file (sometimes people make the mistake of just using the imgur page link which doesn't work for embedding) but it still didn't work it sounds like.

ManCubuS -- Used : " [img=https://i.imgur.com/gpOjTuD.jpeg] "

ManCubuS -- Even tried with imgur, doesn't attach.

ManCubuS -- I should try a workaround, thanks! Sadly imgur is blocked in my country for some unknown reason.

NudeRaider -- I think SEN has trouble with https or hotlinking is forbidden. It certainly is nothing about the size, it just fails to get any size. You can get it working if you use imgur and include the actual image link for the img tag. Like this: [img=https://i.imgur.com/ddYqXZa.jpeg]

ManCubuS -- Hey fellas! Anyone knows why when I try to upload an image it says "failed to get image size"? I even tried making it so small. Imgur isn't working here and I tried postimg no luck.
