How Prose Can Become Better
Prose is an amazing site that allows you to inspire and be inspired. You can give and get feedback, shaping and developing your writing style. And the best part? It doesn’t cost you anything!
As my father said, there’s always room or improvement. Prose is no different.
One thing that could really stand to be fixed is the (not so) slight problem of challenges not showing up. I’ve missed out on a lot of great prompts because I couldn’t see them! I’m not sure what’s causing it, but it’s certianly something I think the Prose team should look into.
I’m really glad they brought back the weekly Prose challenges and e-mail; I look forward to them. Prose needs to do a little more getting in touch with their users, and they’ve certainly been making an effort. For example, doing more things like this--asking for our opinions.
I really appreciate @danceinsilence’s virtual creative writing workshop. And while I know Prose doesn’t have time to be posting every day or whatnot, maybe they could do a couple posts with writing tips? Or at least provide some links or informational videos.
While I’ve never been a huge fan of group chats, maybe Prose should tweak the messaging so you can have a conversation with two or more Prosers at a time. (Though I hate getting messages that were meant for the other people in the chats!)
The last thing...a simple spellchecker for when you're writing on Prose. Not something that checks verb tenses or finds fragments, etc., just something simple that lets me know if I've misspelled a word.
All in all, I love, love, love, LOVE Prose. But like my dad said...There’s always room for improvement!
