First off, thank you so very much @scholaris , @nonsowrites and @amr008.pob ! I am humbled that my short story - fiction piece for "companion" WOTW was worthy of 1st place this week. I poured a lot of love and thought into it, so it feels quite special. Thank you to everyone who has already taken the time to read it and those who may now give it visit :-) Congrats to all the entrants and other winners. Consistency of effort really does pay off. I have been quite busy this week, away for a long weekend last weekend and then spending time with my dad who has finally moved over to the UK from South Africa. I only just got my entry in this week, but it was my top priority yesterday :-) I have not had a chance to read everybody's submissions as yet but plan to do this over the next day or two as the quality and content is always fantastic and I definitely do not want to miss out. A quick question on the Solitude bonus round...so it says normal WOTW rules apply which implies we have to use the word solitude in our submission, but then the bonus round rule states you can't use the word in the submission. Are you looking for one normal WOTW submission and a bonus round submission this week or is it just one submission and we are not allowed this week to use the word solitude? I think you mean the latter but just wanted to clarify 😂

You poured a lot of love into it and we noticed.
Congratulations to you
Thank you so much my friend; finally cracked a 1st! woo hoo... My wish is for everyone who enters to get placed at least once. So much effort goes into all these submissions each week. That is very evident as they mostly make very enjoyable and thoughtful reads :-)
Yes oo, you made it and I am happy to see that. Do enjoy the rest of the week. Looking forward to read from you on the next WOTW
Congratulations! You can write whatever you want about solitude for the WOTW contest.
If you want your article to qualify for the bonus round you just have to follow two simple rules:
ok I think I got it, so still only one article on Solitude but if we use the word solitude or one of it's synonyms in the article then the article ONLY qualifies for WOTW contest, but if we don't use the word solitude or any of it's synonyms then that single article will qualify for BOTH WOTW contest and the bonus round?
That's right. So, if someone takes the #1 spot next week AND wins the bonus round, then the rewards will be:
However, if you get disqualified from the Bonus round, you're also disqualified from the WOTW contest.
Gotcha! This is going to be fun😆
I think so. If my mathiness is correct, the rewards go up if no bonus entries appear, but so does the difficulty.
