CCC Welcomes : Cathy Miller
One day, Cathy Miller, CCC regular and superstar, decided to welcome some of the new CCC submitters. She used all 10 words from each challenge to welcome the newbies. I thought this was so cool, and so clearly represented the special vibe we have here, that I created a page to archive all of Cathy’s wonderful welcomes. Enjoy.

Aaron & Natasha:
Welcome to CCC. You will find we are all over the place. Soon you will be a CCC fanatic just like us. I promise you, you’ll be hooked. The list of words may furrow your brow, but like the butternut, the furrowed casing will open to the sweet kernel of creativity.
More satisfying than childbearing (and a lot less painful), you’ll experience the simple joy of a child with his 1st cupcake. You’ll feel invincible with the touching, human support of the CCC community when like a honeybee, you search for the tasty nectar of the next verse as you hammer away on they keys.
Welcome!

Henk:
Welcome to CCC. Now that you’re here, don’t turn around or you’ll miss the latest rage. It’s your favorite candy and a day of play that requires no recap to enjoy again and again. You’ll find mischief and mayhem here at CCC that would make a tabloid proud. Only those who have not visited our humble community would say don’t tell me it’s fun because we know the truth. So, let the rest of the world harp on all its problems with crackpot solutions to mental health. At CCC, we know the answer is right here.
Welcome, Henk!

Liss:
Welcome to the CCC world of unstressed syllables and poetic genius. The CCC community welcomes all. You won’t find a single knucklehead in this community and the feel-good buzz is better than a shot of demerol. It’s no freak accident that we return week after week. Where else can you cry one minute,then practically piss on yourself with laughter?
You won’t need a crowbar to pry yourself away from what you’re doing to return to CCC again and again. The feeling is not unlike a mother’s sweet teary smile when she takes her child’s slightly crushed gift of a pansy from the yard. Infiltration into our club is easy and the best thing you’ll ever do for yourself. So release the writing beast inside you and watch your words sizzle.
Welcome!
~~~
Jesse:
Welcome to the gold standard of communities – the tri-C! It brings us great pleasure when someone new says, “Here I am, “and shares their creative style. CCC runs the gamut from the innocence of poetic prose to a mounting, sixteen-leveled staircase of suspense and loosely disguised villains. So, take the afternoon off and be welcomed home to CCC – the life-sustaining food for the creative writer in all of us.
~~~
James:
Welcome to the CCC community! Like the welcomed relief of rain to desert heat, you will never regret the journey. You will never moan, “What have I done,” whenever you visit the triangle-C. You’ll change your mind whenever you doubt your creative genius just by dropping by. And whether you use those 10 words in a row or take them out of order, your heart will soar like a missile with fantastic, atomic speed when you paint the picture of creativity that lies in your soul.
And even more special for helping us hit the 100 mark!
~~~
Justin:
Welcome to the ongoing thread of creativity of the CCC community. You’ll find plenty to smile about, where you can channel your demons or please your wicked soul. There is no holding back at CCC. In between the mirth and mayhem, you will meet head on with the talent and caring of CCC . From the comfort of your keyboard to the distant spots around the world, CCC paints the color of all that is good and all that we hope for the world to learn.
Welcome!
~~~
Sue:
CCC gives you a great big, fat welcome. Here your creative identity is born and you find a substitute for anything that bores you. But, beware – the first time you visit – you’re hooked. Any wall that was built against your inner muse will come tumbling down. Be it sin or innoncence – all is welcomed inside the community known as CCC. You’ll find murder and sex, mixed with a virgin or not; tears and laughter, and much more than you thought. So, welcome to the madness where you’re sure to learn a new trick or two. You’ll never regret taking the journey – you’ll never take it alone.
Welcome!
~~~
Rachel:
Welcome to CCC! Your vision expressed in words should never make you nauseous. Feel no need to justify what you feel because at CCC, we would never deceive you when we say, “Welcome – well done!” The point of CCC is acceptance and respect and plain ol’ fun. We will defend to our death the chance for all of us to express whatever we feel – whenever we feel & however we feel. Your creativity is the gift you share.
And just to convince you, we invite you to read from the past, join in the now, and think how you’ll stick around. So whether you use an outline or prose, a chuckle or sneer, one thing is certain, you have found a community that welcomes you and everything you bring.
~~~
Al:
Welcome to CCC. Here you can introduce your latest hero or hide behind smoke and mirrors. You can make a villain an idiot or an extremely clever foe. You can have victims ponder their fate or find fortune in a timely escape. You can set a mood for reflection or jump into a new line of prose.
No matter what you try or what you used to be, you will find a whole lot of fun, a whole lot of support and an addiction to CCC that you will not want to break. So, settle down in front of your keyboard and sign on for another round of CCC – the channel for the creative soul in all of us.
Welcome, Al!
~~~
Welcome to Sara (and all I’ve missed) to the CCC:
You will find you made a very wise choice the day you decided to check out CCC. When you’re feeling low, just let CCC work its magic. Lose control and share what you feel because the CCC community is always here to support you.
If you have an empty place inside, fill it with the fun, the love and the terror of our creative souls. This is the place where anything goes and even a slip of an idea becomes creative prose. Here you find we are nothing but kind and all just a little bit nuts.
Welcome to CCC!
~~~
Elantra:
Welcome to CCC! Someone may have told you what a great place this is. You will find first-hand how truly special CCC is. Where else can you get so many thanks just for sharing your words? You’ll find no torment here – except for our characters’ tortured lives.
So take the remnant of a forgotten dream to weave the fabric of your creative soul. Your words are welcome, you are welcome, you’ll never find disinterest at CCC. Join our mix of Moms and Dads, Grandmas, too, Baby Boomers and young ones, and all in between. We accept funny, sad, dramatic and weird, because at CCC, we are all equal and carry the message that our community rocks!
Welcome, Elantra!
~~~
Great job, Leatha! Let me officially welcome you to CCC!
Welcome, Leatha, to CCC. Here you can seize the fun of this place. It’s better than a swig of your favorite soda. It will soon dawn on you how much fun it is and why the place is so darn popular. You’ll find you want to clear some time to visit CCC again and again.
Our stories are a sweet and sour delight where everyone finds the gain of reading the creative words of friends. We are happy you could take part and hope to see some more from you. We do not fake our welcome, it’s very sincere, so overcome any hesitation you might have, and come visit us again-for you are very welcome!

Eleanor:
Welcome to CCC! Here we seize the moment to take a swig from the cask of creativity.
From morning ’til dawn, you can stop on by, and by popular request, we suggest you do.
CCC will become a clear favorite of yours-one that will never sour.
You will gain a real family here at CCC, and we’re glad to have you be a part of our community.
So no fake welcome here-just plenty of warmth & praise.
Overcome any hesitation and jump right in-the pool of talent welcomes you home!
~~~
Helen:
Welcome to CCC. From the very first day, you’ll find yourself thinking, “There is no place I’d rather be then at CCC.” Then you’ll smile at your rhyme and wonder how you can use it in your relentless goal to use all 10 words.
Say good-bye to inhibitions and take a run at the words that you are sure will defeat you. Then feel the pride when the words take you someplace you never knew. Each week you’ll return (it’s addicting, you know), but in your heart CCC is like a very dear friend.
So enjoy the trip like a passionate kiss, and hop on the wild ride that is tough to resist. Welcome to CCC!
~~~
Thorey:
Welcome to CCC! It is impossible to describe all the joy you will find, even with the complete addiction that CCC is responsible for. The CCC community never finds it odd that we get such delight from the words we write because we know the secret of feeding our creative souls.
Here at CCC, you find tenderness and hope, tragedy and greed, laughter and tears, and hours and hours of fun. You’ll always find a welcoming hand as you share the writer inside. No one here is replaceable. We each offer the uniqueness of self.
It’s a festive place, where we celebrate creativity, and all the best the CCC community has to offer. So give it a try. Soon it will become a happy, weekly piece of your life – one you will never regret.
Welcome to CCC!
~~~
Ciprian & Sherri:
Welcome to CCC! Soon you will know all too well just how addicting CCC can be. How you react is for everyone to see as we eagerly take on the challenge of the random words.
So fill the screen with your own unique spin, and divert any sense of doubt. CCC is always here to provide a jolt of support as you release your creative streak. Here at CCC we cheer, we laugh, we cry, we curse. We ache for the downtrodden, but unleash the power of hope.
So join the club and feel the wonderful, welcoming embrace of the CCC community!
~~~
Krista:
Welcome to CCC! We are a community that knows all too well the wonderful feeling that comes when others react to your written words. We will fill your every need and divert any fears you may have on sharing your creative verse. The first time you’re here, you’ll feel a jolt to your heart as we cheer your first submission.
You may utter a curse and feel a painful ache when you realize you must return to your day job. But don’t despair, you are now part of the CCC club, and we are always here to offer a welcoming embrace.
Welcome!
~~~
@Jennifer-Welcome to CCC!
You don’t have to be a big shot writer to smash into CCC. The whole darn bunch of us move heaven and earth to welcome each and every person who drops by our CCC shores. So when the force of creativity compels you to write, make sure you fill the need at CCC. We are always here and waiting and will prove how much fun this can be.
If you sense the CCC community is unusual – you are right. But, it is the best side of unusual that you will ever know. Welcome to CCC!
~~~
@Chelsea-Welcome to CCC!
It won’t be long until your signature week will not be complete without CCC. Your worries disappear as you ride the coast of creativity and find strength in the challenge you seek. When your mind starts to drift or life makes you want to scream, find your rescue in the welcoming embrace of the CCC community.
Stuff yourself full of the fun and the laughter, the drama and tears, the silly and profound, and all the good feelings in between. So, let the magic touch of CCC bring you the delightful sound of us virtually applauding, as we read the words you share.
Welcome to CCC!
~~~
@Rob-Welcome to CCC!
You have hit upon our own guilty pleasure-CCC! When we need something to distract us from the frustrations of life, we truck on over to CCC, and find astronomical delights.
Like puppies that tremble with body-shaking joy, we find it’s no use wrestling over the decision, when our creative soul calls. We warn all who join our growing community, the need is an addiction of elephant-sized proportions.
So, enter the portal to a place that is in a league of its own where CCC becomes the larynx for your words and the magic you own.
Welcome!
@Laurelyn – Welcome to CCC!
We all have felt guilty, from time to time, from looking for something to distract us from our work. When writing is your work and the words simply won’t fly, they become bigger than they are, an astronomical problem, or so we believe.
Our fingers tremble over a keyboard gone silent. We are wrestling with words we once thought our friends. I once told a writer buddy it was like squeezing an elephant through a portal the size of a small door. We have a league of larynx-choking ideas trapped in our waiting heart.
But, wait – a cure – mighty CCC is here! The magic returns – all is not lost – we blast that block and find a castle of creativity in the CCC home.
Welcome!
MZ=Welcome to CCC!
This place has it all. CCC will get your adrenaline racing as you wade through the bloodshed, the mayhem, the fun and absurd that has you laughing so hard, it’s hard to breathe. You will want to come back again and again as you carefully consider how you can add to the bizarre, the creepy, the darkness and light.
But, there is an ominous note to this place we must tell you about. It’s totally addicting. This isn’t paranoia-it’s fact. But, it’s a scream of delight, this addiction of ours. Our only fear is the creative silence of the world without CCC.
Welcome to the addiction.
~~~
Glenn-Welcome to CCC!
James has a way of getting everyone’s adrenaline pumping. The bloodshed from the Assassin and wondering what happens next makes it difficult to breathe. That storyline is one of the many delights of CCC – from words thrown out and carefully crafted, we have the creepy darkness of ominous, paranoia-generated settings with the barely suppressed scream. We never crave silence.
Just when you think you can’t take it anymore, along comes Bayou Billy with gumbo in hand – or – Shane with his twisted surprise ending or Margaret with her poems and Anne with her short verse-and so many more. We always welcome someone new because creativity is found in the next person’s words.
Welcome!
~~~
Amy-welcome to the CCC!
With a boost of adrenaline we hurry each week to visit CCC. We leave bloodshed behind of anyone foolish enough to stand in our way. It’s what we crave – almost as much as we like to breathe.
Each week we carefully consider the words we will share. Will they be creepy and best read in darkness? Or silly and read to our child? Here where villains leave their ominous predictions, and words trip along in fun, little rhymes, our paranoia grows over this addiction we feed. But, we’ll take a scream or two, because silence is more deadly by far.
Welcome!
~~~
All these newbies-let’s see how many welcomes we can squeeze out of these 10!
Rachel-welcome to CCC!
My adrenaline has my heart racing as I try a different twist. A little bloodshed of mine might be simpler than welcome #999. Although the tension builds, as I slowly breathe in and out, I carefully calm my mind. No creepy thoughts for me. I have a welcome to create.
I look for the switch out of creative darkness, with its ominous threat of , “No more.” I battle the paranoia that makes me want to scream, “Silence yourself.” The welcome is bigger than us both.
Welcome to CCC!
~~~
@zerocattle-welcome to CCC!
Your name alone-zerocattle- has the adrenaline flowing as we each attach our own reasons behind the name. Do you wish an end to the bloodshed of cattle? Do you breathe better when they’re not around? Do you carefully tread so not to disturb any creepy bovine treat or wish them doomed to eternal darkness? Is there some overriding, ominous threat you feel from cattle who roam the plain or is it simple Holstein paranoia? Or was your zerocattle call the result of waking with a scream from a nasty dream that demands the silence of cattle?
Whatever the reason, we gladly welcome you to CCC!
~~~
@Qrystal-Welcome to your 1st written submission at CCC!
Was it the adrenaline rush you felt when first you visited Challenge #7 that you never forgot? Was there too much bloodshed in the submissions you read that struck fear in your heart that you almost forgot to breathe? Or was it some carefully crafted, creepy submission that threw your first visit into the darkness of no submission?
The ominous sound of paranoia is really just a front as we scream for your return and silence any doubt. Welcome to CCC!
CCC is like the detail on your creative vehicle that no one can mimic. The motive is simple – develop your own pattern of wizardry. You will return again and again with the steady knowledge that you will always be welcomed. Here you will find the sturdy support to weave your greatest dreams.
Welcome!
The slow-burning need builds until it comforts you like the fluff of a favorite pillow. You will want to fill that need again and again as the addiction pulls you in. This is no dairy delight, but a powerful kick from the volcano of buried inspiration.
You may trim your words or gnarl in frustration, as you search for a topic for the top 10 challenge. But, isn’t that the fun of CCC, as you clothespin your words to the challenge at hand?
Welcome!
~~~
@Evelyn-Welcome to CCC!
Here you find words travel the curvy stem of creativity that makes each of us unique. They trickle down the path of silly and sad, and the slow-burning rage of characters so evil, you’ll go racing for the fluff of one of our lighthearted tales.
We have assassins and cops, lovers and losers and the lovable Bayou Billy. And now we welcome DeAnn’s dairy farmer father.
Resisting the addiction of CCC is futile. It’s like getting caught in the spewing lava of an erupting volcano – sizzling and mind-blowing, but not something you’ll easily escape.
So, as you trim away the excess words and gnarl over another crazy topic of words, you will find yourself coming back to CCC again and again. You’re caught now by CCC – the clothespin securing your prose of possibilities.
@Dee-Welcome to CCC!
More fun than a tickle to the bellybutton, CCC is a a delight waiting to happen. With the digital dexterity of a Word Magician, CCC conjures up a place to share your prose.
Each week you’ll hear the ding-a-ling of the next challenge of words calling you to play. Get out the guacamole and chips, and crack out the iceburg-cold margaritas. It’s time to get this party started.
So kangaroo-hop on over and nail us with your best shot. At CCC, we 100 percent guarantee you will never regret the speed of this roller coaster ride. Unseal the vacuum of your innermost thoughts and welcome to the greatest show on earth.
Welcome to CCC!
~~~
@Sarah-Welcome to CCC!
For just a while, CCC was morose that the whole world did not know about our great community. But, then along comes Sara and Roselee, earlier in the week, and our rambunctious bunch are kicking up our heels.
Look what you did, Sarah with a unicorn that we all thought was an ethereal treat. You showed us the errors of our way. No ornate verse – just the bare truth – who knew?
What the hell created this myth about the androgynous creature? Thank God, you set us straight, and showed us the loophole in the myth. No namby-pamby writers here (ahem-you better not read my version of the unicorn), just wily, educated writers.
There is one thing we know for sure – we’re all over the solution – who’s got the tequila? A margarita toast of welcome, Sarah!
~~~
OMG-it’s Sean Platt! 
CCC has been morose in the absence on one Sean Platt. If it weren’t for the rambunctious Margaret and her tales of a unicorn and other ethereal characters, your family presence would truly be lost.
No ornate trumpeting here, but, what the hell, WELCOME BACK, Sean – we missed you! Bring back the poems of androgynous appeal and we’ll close the loophole of missing challenges. No more namby-pamby excuses-you’re hooked again in the wily ways of CCC.
~~~
@ R.B. Welcome to CCC- Well done-I think my brothers think the same about me. 
Now, on to the official welcome==
There is no morose feeling to CCC, unless it is in the land of fantasy where a rambunctious unicorn is captured in ethereal prose.
We welcome all in ornate fashion and look forward to your spin on each challenge. We are an open bunch – professional writers and not, moms and dads, and, what the hell, an androgynous few that write murder and mayhem.
There is no loophole to our acceptance, we simply love it all. You’ll never receive a namby-pamby response here. There’s too much passion in this wily CCC community.
Welcome to the madness!
~~~
@Roselee-welcome to CCC!
If you want to know what it is to be alive, then dust off your keyboard and come on over to CCC. It chases away the gloom and any mad you may feel as you words become a welcomed mirage. You’ll love to read each piece and you’ll learn the joy of peaceful sleep that comes from the satisfaction of sharing your verse.
Each week you can’t wait to tackle the latest challenge and you’ll have a tendency to put off work. It’s an addiction we share, but one that we very much welcome.
Welcome to CCC!
~~~
@Patsi-Welcome to CCC!
With a happy thud from our heart, we welcome you to CCC. Pop the champagne,the pendulum of creativity swings another one our way.
Here you find the joy of good writing, good reading, and good buddies who share lost dreams like a child gliding across the linoleum to Olympic gold. You might have already seen that we are very fond of our community known as CCC. We offer the hysteric, the ridiculous, the sublime, and the scary as we weave through the tricky 10.
Without a smidgen of remorse, we are all addicted to this place and giggle at the lost souls who do not know us. But the intonation of our mystic place continues to grow in volume. In retrospect, we did not know where we would go, but we sure are glad you joined us.
Welcome to CCC.
~~~
@fairyhedgehog-welcome to CCC!
Welcome to our sleepy, little secret that is CCC. Now you can ascend into our world of fun, intrigue and all kinds of crazy prose. We have acidic villains and a sweet cast of characters that give sugar a run for its money.
You’ll want to retain a space and it’s easy as can be. No contract required, just drop on over when you need a creative burst. All are welcome, no story is outdated or too silly to write. We welcome all to leave their unique touch to the challenge and to add a comment wherever you like.
We estimate our numbers will become legion, as others hear of our fun. Your words are an original and welcomed by all.
~~~
@Jeff-Welcome to CCC!
CCC is the tertiary symbol for the writer in all of us. This will be no ephemeral addiction you have entered into. The fun is intensive and we are all just a nary bit conceited that we have the best community out there.
Put aside any boring duty you’d rather forget and come on over to CCC again and again. We welcome all – even contest winners – okay, we may have a snarky comment or two, but it is all in good fun. So, get on it, and break out the creative prose. We are waiting to read your best shot and our welcome is warm with no nebulous response.
We know you’ll think CCC is tremendous and you’ll find instantaneous relief from all that ails you.
Welcome to CCC!
~~~
@Stacia-I hope you get my welcome-I’m a bit late – again!
Welcome to CCC!
Now that you’ve tried your first challenge, we know you are hooked for good. Even if you have to crawl on over, you will find a way to return. It’s a sweet addiction. If that’s what it takes to be a part of the ride, you’ll find it’s an addiction you really don’t mind.
So, don’t wait. Try some from the past and bring a friend or two. In a wrinkle of time you will find what you once thought junk is someone else’s treasure. There is no self-doubt here, just the total belief that whatever will emerge from your spin of the 10, the path is never too steep and anything you create is welcomed by all.
~~~
Oh man-I have to use these 10 again?
@jj-Welcome to CCC!
Even though I think Leah has plenipotentiary hold on my welcome challenge, I’ll stop flapping like a platypus on some wild juice and get down to the serious business of welcoming you to CCC.
You’ll find yourself releasing porcine snorts of laughter and trembling at the pernicious evil of the nasty villains lurking throughout our site – the characters – not the community. Just sayin’
We welcome you to the best community a monitor has ever seen. That’s no platitude – it’s a sincere invitation of all we have to offer. Bring your pompous, your meek, your funny, your sad. We love it all. As you plait your next intricate plot, you’ll find you cannot remain placid. You’re hooked on the addiction of CCC. It sure beats being portly and pregnant – until you realize the birth of your creative little child.
Welcome to CCC!
~~~
@Milo- Welcome to CCC!
You’ll find the CCC community certainly does not give out compliments niggardly. We welcome all kinds of writing. We have sniggered a time or two, shed tears and gasped in awe.
We love weaving our way through each submission until we reach denouement. Then there are those series that return for more and we simply cannot get enough.
No one here is the least bit sanctimonious while reading the words of others. Some verses roll in on the soft slippers of debutante delivery, while Bayou Billy creates a sassafras concoction of mirth and mayhem. And when things get too out of hand, James the Assassin silences all with one steely smirk, leaving a bloodbath of creativity soaking through the site, in his badass way.
If you ever felt disillusioned about your writing, your life or some other trial, trip on over to CCC for the perfect remedy. We’ll leave the light on for you.
Welcome!
@Chris – Welcome to CCC!
As you leave us trembling with laughter, any thought of welcoming passivity goes right out the window. Although the 10 get more and more tortuous, what everyone does with them is simply, freaking awesome.
With a nibbling of humor and a murder or two, the ebullient CCC cannot contain its excitement as we welcome you to our humble home. Here we take the challenging 10 from plonk to the finest, vivacious Cristal.
CCC is the dynamo of the creative word. Y’all come back now, ‘ya hear?
Welcome!
@Steven – Welcome to CCC!
Even though you arrived at our CCC shores when the chosen 10 were particularly challenging, we cannot be niggardly in our welcome. Well, we could, but we won’t – because CCC is all about welcome. No sniggered or sanctimonious denouement in our welcome message – we are really glad you joined us.
More fun than being the only guy at the debutante ball, CCC paints your words in sassafras delight and provides a steely resolve to meet the next challenge. So, whether you want a bloodbath or joy, a badass or hero, you’ll never leave CCC disillusioned.
Welcome to the addiction.
~~~
@Paul – Welcome to CCC!
With the trembling joy of a lovesick puppy, we welcome all to our CCC community. It won’t take you long to recognize there is no passivity in this group – just lovely, tortuous and freaking awesome words. We love words – little nibbling words, big dictionary-defying words and everything in between.
What we do at CCC with words leaves an ebullient trail of creativity as we plonk away on our keys in the vivacious dynamo offered in all the possibilities of words.
Welcome!
~~~
@Thane-Welcome to CCC!
Never be nervous about critics here. Our welcomes march out with panoply flair, where no written gaffe ever occurs. We prognosticate an addiction of the sweetest kind as you craft an extractor of creative delight. Put behind you the putrid criticism of those who do not understand the infallible feeling CCC brings to your written word. It’s the juice of life that will inflate your pride, as you leave the critics with their arms akimbo to the silence of their own making.
Welcome to CCC!
~~~
@Mrs. Green-Welcome to CCC!
No need to be nervous when you visit CCC, where each week the words roll out in all their panoply to welcome you back. This is where a gaffe becomes genius and the flat becomes bold. We prognosticate great things for all who visit. CCC is the extractor of creativity, the master of the soul.
No putrid submissions here – just the essence of what makes each of us unique. Here all are infallible and critics are banned. So, join us for the energy juice that revs our writing and will inflate your pride with all you have to offer. At the end of the day, arms akimbo with accomplishment, you’ll love the day you found CCC and its welcoming community.
Welcome to CCC!
~~~
@Steve@Lifestyle Design-Welcome to CCC!
We’re so glad you moved beyond the fringe and gave into your quixotic urge to render your 1st submission. It wasn’t so bad a leap, now was it? Here you’ll find the unreachable is reachable and in a freckle of time your vapid take on what you write soars to unexpected heights.
I’m not being facetious. Just ask all who live within the CCC community. Your misfire becomes an explosion of creativity as you go where the challenging 10 take you. You will surely bedazzle and be bedazzled as you return time after time. No need to ever skulk again. You’ll hear the sweet sound of acceptance as soothing as the soft coo of a morning dove on a bright autumn day.
Welcome to CCC!
~~~
@Julia – Welcome to CCC!
We think it is simply fabulous that you came this particular way. Our welcome may be spontaneous, but it is no less sincere. Here you’ll find synergized creativity with fabled characters, real or mythical as Pegasus or Medusa – you be the judge. At CCC your words are touched by Merlin’s magical touch to create a crystal ball of dreams with an elevator straight to the future.
Welcome!
~~~
@ Francisco – Welcome to CCC!
Welcome to the fabulous community where no particular style is required. So be spontaneous as you want when you tackle the challenging 10. Use the synergized creativity to go where no fabled writer has gone before. Travel in time where Pegasus flies and Medusa rules. Or ask Merlin to gaze in his crystal ball so you can know a world far, far away.
Hop on the Elevator Express to your wildest dreams and the community that applauds the show.
Welcome!

Karen – Welcome to CCC!
Better than a wild trip on the treats of the apothecary, CCC is a minx of mischief and a puree of perfection and pride. Shimmer on over to give the challenging 10 your best shot with the luscious words of imagination. We warn you it is quite the addiction and you will want to linger all day long.
You’ll go bananas without your weekly shot of CCC where the wand of creativity blesses all who arrive. If the addiction were poison, you’d refuse any treacle from the nourishing wheat to your soul.
Welcome!
~~~
@Cori-Welcome to CCC!
Come into the apothecary’s room of medicinal pleasure, said the minx behind the mask. We’ll mix you up a puree of characters, each one better than the last.
CCC has more shimmer than the Las Vegas strip with its luscious words, and triumphant tales that make you linger until every word is read. Some characters are funny, and others are scary, and some are just plain bananas, but each holds a special place in our community, and you’ll find it hard to resist. Each week you’ll wait anxiously for the magic wand of words to appear, as your characters drink their poison or find their treacle to the addiction of CCC, where wheat and motherfu#ker reside.
Welcome.
~~~
@Jenna-Welcome to CCC!Even though I could slide chili cheese fries through the hole in my mouth, Shane doesn’t need to coax me into welcoming you to CCC. So, here’s a virtual Cuban cigar of welcome to your own personal drainpipe for any self-doubt. Break out your party hat, throw on the feather boa and party along in glee with CCC.
The creative karma is king as each week you motorcycle on over to try the challenging 10. More challenging than a mother’s discreet release of a nursing bra in public, you’ll never find this community playing opossum to meaningless platitudes.
Welcome!
@Johnny-Welcome to CCC!
CCC is a reticulated source of joy from the macabre to the hugely hysterical – you’ll fit right in. The Dickensian scenes tug at the heart strings while Bayou Billy and Margaret’s rhymes often leave our eyes moist with tears of laughter. James likes to drop by and Naomi has, too, leaving a salacious tidbit or two.
We have been nauseated by murder and have loosened the microbes of creative genius. Carnal thoughts are between more than one line with leviathan characters following a fractal course to the unknown, waiting for the evil scientist or rising star of words.
Welcome to the ride!
~~~
@Kasey – Welcome to CCC!
There is networking, then there is the reticulated delight of the CCC community. It’s friends with benefits – er, so to speak. Bring your Dickensian drama or comic relief – the choice is truly yours. The moist nectar of words satisfies the creative thirst in a salacious appeal for all.
When work has you nauseated until you think you can’t go on, drop by CCC and leave your microbes of pain behind. Read about the carnal pleasures that make us blush and take on the leviathan challenges. Weave a fractal group of words like an evil scientist in search of his next great high. Whatever form they take, your words and you are always welcome at CCC.

@Paige-Welcome to CCC!
With a reticulated map of words coursing through our brains, we trip on over to CCC. We leave the Dickensian mundane behind, our thoughts moist from the creative juices that drive us. With salacious delight, we are nearly nauseated with anticipation.
We study the random 10, sprung from the very microbes of the word challenge. Do we go the carnal route or something light and fun? The leviathan dilemma is one we gladly accept. Over and over the words rise in a fractal tumble.
What evil scientist has taken over our souls? Ah, sweet, sweet addiction – my CCC.
Welcome.
~~~
@Beth @Marlee @MariaWelcome to the CCC!
As we crash our metal cymbals in welcome, you are accepted into our eclectic bunch. We’ll never renege on our promise of fun as you enter the timewarp of the addictive CCC.
No puppet master here; we do our own thing, and appreciate the submissions of all.
With the innocent joy of a toddler exploring, we take the journey together with heroes and villains with misappropriated direction. We take on the challenge as we sharpen our pens on the leather strap of creativity. No reason for guarded prose. It all flows free here into the dreams and nightmares of our souls.
Welcome to CCC!
You are definitely a perspicacious gent to know where the fun is – right here at CCC. It’s intriguing, funny, perplexing and rewarding. There are no draconian egos at CCC. Our reward is the sweet onomatopoeia applause of words.CCC rivals the city of Shiraz with its poets, wine and flowers. It offers the sometimes ostentatious images of words to those who visit. The quandary over how to meet the challenge transforms into a swordfight of the mind over the hidden answers within. The battlefield is not the sterile ground of mediocrity, but the kaleidoscope that is life.
We welcome you to the challenge.
@Diane-Welcome to CCC!
Your first impression may be that CCC is uncharacteristically welcoming, but, in truth, that is standard operating procedure around here.
With your keyboard you create an origami of unique words as they take shape in your mind and your heart. So, pull up your chair, and perhaps a penguin biscuit or two, as you form your own Egyptology-like exploration of how to uncover the magic behind the challenge.
You’ll balloon with pride as you overcome the ogre of self-doubt. And isn’t that what self-exploring is all about?
Your words evolve into a bildungsroman – an aesthetically-pleasing creation worth sharing with all. Who knows? You might just follow Bayou Billy into an epic franchise of success.
What once seemed an insurmountable slope is now a straight pathway to your dreams.
Welcome!

@Birdy Diamond-Welcome to CCC!
If you think your creative ship has sailed, just come on over to CCC. When the financial downturn puts you in a funk you can always find a reason to smile at CCC. The pure joy you’ll find is as treasured as a deep, clear breath for someone getting over the winter’s bronchitis.
Shake off those doldrums, dust off the keyboard and find a survivor’s guide more telling than a gray-haired mouse who has shaken many a cat’s grasp. Build your story, create your characters. The journey is all yours. Maybe they’ll be happy, maybe they’ll be silly or maybe they will break your heart. You are their speaker, you are their skyscraper of hope.
Join our community from philosophical Philadelphia to laughing London, to a sensual Scott and perhaps some nattering from Nova Scotia = the CCC community welcomes all, and today we welcome you!
~~~
@Laura-Welcome to CCC!
You will find it most fortuitous that you dropped upon the CCC shore. You will swoon with delight as the challenging 10 turn from babble to creative genius.
We are a welcoming bunch without an imperious one amongst us. You may be flabbergasted at how welcoming we can be. So, bring us your own pizazz and debilitate any hesitation as you rappel from one challenge to the next. We cull out the doubt in all of us and CCC becomes the freelancer of our souls.
Welcome!
~~~
@Jake P-Welcome to CCC!
Did my nagging at Words on the Page finally get you here? We are so happy you dropped by and soon you will see how fortuitous it is. But, we warn you, it is addicting and you may swoon across your keyboard and babble at the latest words with the imperious challenge.
But, then your fingers fly and you are flabbergasted at the pundit pizzazz flowing across the screen. When work seems to debilitate and you feel you will never rappel the stack of work, CCC will cull out any pain, leaving you with all the freelancer joy that makes you Dr. Freelance.
Welcome – now we have to get Lori over here!
~~~
@Ariane & @Kimberly-Welcome to the CCC!
How fortuitous that you found CCC just in time for the holidays. When you are ready to swoon from the constant babble of sale, sale, sale and the imperious sales clerk has gotten on your last nerve, skip on over to CCC. You will be flabbergasted how good it will make you feel.
With more pizzazz than twinkling tree lights, each submission is worth its weight in incense, myrrh and gold. So, don’t let the holiday rush debilitate your senses, rappel on down from your mountain of gifts that are still waiting to be wrapped, and cull out the seasonal Scrooge. Become the freelancer angel and hark the good tidings found at CCC.
Welcome!
@Giulietta-Welcome to CCC!
We hope you think it fortuitous
To find CCC and all of us
You’ll swoon with delight
Or babble in fright
With words like imperious
Their meaning is so serious
As flabbergasted writers search
For the next place they can perch
With words full of pizzazz
While humming to jazz
They refuse to let words debilitate
To lose is something they do hate
So they rappel down their fear
And race right over here
To cull out the bland
Where a freelancer may land
And find their way back
To the courage they lack.
Welcome to CCC – where courage & creativity is found.
@GoingLikeSixty-Welcome to CCC! We are hanging out at the same places-like Anne Wayman’s
On to your “official” welcome
========================
During the holiday rush, it is easy to forget to take care of ourselves.Pilates is put on a pretzel-twist hold and the only iron we pump is the one we use for inflating giant lawn decorations.
We pop a lozenge or two, wrap our neck in an indigo scarf for warmth, and run an equestrian race to finish last-minute shopping. We are the survivor of yet another year where memories blur with holidays past, filled with family and friends.
No matter where your winding journey takes you, we are glad you stopped by CCC, where all are welcomed and there is always time to sit back and enjoy our creative community.
Welcome to CCC!
~~~
@Justin – Welcome to CCC!
You’ll get a rush each week when the challenges appear as you twist their meaning into Pilates-like prose. They’ll pump up your writing and act as a lozenge for frustrated attempts. So, when your writing is turning your face an indigo hue, breathe life back into it by visiting CCC.
With equestrian speed, the words will return as you become another survivor of a temporary block. The troubles blur, and your CCC friends welcome you as together we take this winding road to creativity.
Welcome!
~~~~
@Martin and @Katirra – Welcome to CCC!I finally made an indentation into my holiday schedule to make my way back to CCC. What a pleasant surprise to see your submissions as you joined the CCC community. There are no parameters on what you write – unless you consider having fun a parameter.
At times our words are spartan and other times they flow in Bacchus delight. No cause to be pensive about what you write. At CCC, we have it all – from the baroque pattern of long-ago prose to the ostentatious expression of more colorful creators, whose words turn the air a cobalt blue. There isn’t a smidgen of doubt that this place delivers in all its non-restrictive style and we welcome you to the addiction.
@MR Maguire and AnneMaybus-Welcome to CCC!
Now that I have a lucid moment, I’d like to officially welcome you to CCC where worries are extinct and the radical is a way of life. We write with a vengeance as we look to grasp words that at times are as elusive as the mythical sylph, yet as elemental as the air we breathe.
So offer us your tapestry of words that are as welcomed here as ruby is to gold. There is no illusion to the truth we all know. The written word is the gospel of our souls.
Welcome!
@Jessica-Welcome to the CCC!
We take fastidious care here to welcome all at CCC. With the sweetness of polo mints, our welcome is nonetheless sincere. Our challenges mix up a Hungarian stew of words that rival Dr. Who’s Robot serial and the greatest Shakespearean sonnet. You cannot fail at CCC because there are no real rules – just the sheer delight of wrestling with words.
There is no pain, no gain at CCC, except for the satisfaction of creating a smoothie comfort of sharing in a community that understands. So shatter any inhibitions to smithereens as you resurrect the joy of preschool play and the freedom that acceptance brings.
We offer a virtual smooch of welcome and hope you visit again soon.
~~~
@aleekwrites-Welcome to CCC!
While some might say it’s fastidious to welcome each new submission, we say it’s the CCC way. Each week we smack out a polo shot of words with the precision of the finest athlete.
The submissions are a Hungarian smorgasbord delight, ranging from the short to the long and the funny to sad. It’s that variety that takes words from robot-like to the beauty that is the human touch.
The submissions never fail to impress in a no holds barred, no pain, no gain effort. The smoothie result shatters any sign of struggle to smithereens, as we revel with preschool glee.
So any time you need a boost, smooch on over to CCC and release your inner child.
Welcome!
@Holly, @Looking4Purpose, @Mitchell-Welcome to CCC!

There is no delusion or disbelief in the talent that lies in all of us. The corresponding submissions support our confidence in what we do.
Follow the yellow brick road to your own dream, where words have purpose and their meaning is displayed in grand style. We are justly proud of all who join us, where the xenophobic know no place and all doubt is recanted.
So, welcome to CCC, where you will truly be spoiled by a community that shares your dreams.
@Tiffany – Welcome to CCC!
Tucked inside our marsupial pocket of welcome is an appreciation of what you bring to CCC. We have no delusion, but rather, a sincere belief that each corresponding submission delivers a little bit of what makes each writer unique.
The CCC community shines with a yellow sun-kissed glow whose only purpose is a warm embrace. We know you will feel quite grand as you justly receive your praise. Leave behind the xenophobic critics who will never understand what makes a community like CCC. Here at CCC, the negative is recanted and we are spoiled by the joy that we share.
@Adam – Welcome to CCC!
No bush league at CCC. Here we flush out the talent that lies in each of us. A hush comes over us as we read each submission. The silence may be shattered with laughter or tugged into tears as emotions percolate with the plush joy of words.
We shush the critics with their slush of ignorance as the wastrel of our creative time. We feel the whoosh of excitement as we have found our place at CCC – the wondrous home of dreams.
Welcome!

@Tom @Jennifer – Welcome to CCC!
When you’re feeling rather despicable and in need of some positive vibes, trek on over to CCC for a major boost. No hand-me-down platitudes, but a genuine welcome to all who visit. The flash of creativity is a bonus you may not expect.
We recommend a consistent dose of CCC, where our insouciant approach to the words within us act as the doorway to all we hold dear. It’s a spectacular feeling when you can trust what you write will be accepted and encouraged, without judgment or scorn.
CCC is like a racecar to destiny with all the joy of your first rootbeer float. Welcome to the party!
~~~
@Joe-Welcome to CCC!
There are things far more despicable than thinking we can write. At CCC we don’t subscribe to any hand-me-down beliefs that what we do (for fun or work) is any less vital than other things in life. Having a place like CCC to share it is a bonus for the need within.
We recommend everyone try it for the joy that it brings. Whether you employ a dedicated or insouciant approach, step through that doorway and revel in your spectacular results. CCC is the pit crew of trust to your racecar to fun, where a rootbeer float can be intoxicating as the finest champagne. It’s all about what you enjoy most.
Welcome!
~~~
@Jack and @Denise-Welcome to CCC!Nothing is more despicable than a hand-me-down welcome so your bonus today is one customized just for you (okay so it came in a pair, but it is yours, just the same). We recommend you come back often and feel the love that CCC shares.
It’s a love of writing, a love of reading and the love of a community that is no way an insouciant participant. If you need a doorway that leads to creativity, CCC is the place to be. There is a spectacular display of writing and a trust that only sincere support provides. So, racecar on over and jump into the rootbeer float of fun.
Welcome!
~~~
@Nicola-Welcome to CCC!
No despicable motives at CCC. No hand-me-down excuses. Just pure fun and creativity. The community is a bonus and one you’ll recommend for its insouciant attitude toward critics and rules. So, walk through our doorway and have a spectacular time as each week you take on another challenge.
We trust you’ll be back in the racecar that brought you and will enjoy the sweet rootbeer float of words that can be found between our sidebar walls.
Welcome!
~~~
@Cheryl-Welcome to CCC!
No eleemosynary welcome here as you venture on to the fecund site of wondrous words. It’s where the only taphephobia is if you have a fear of too much praise from the panoptic response of our community.
CCC is the tesla coil of verve, fueled by the canid community of creativity and the semaphore of each week’s challenge. Have not a wisp of regret as you sign on for the addiction that becomes the aegis of all we hold dear.
Welcome!
~~~
@Midwest Musing – Welcome to CCC!
More intoxicating than a barrel of mudslide shots, but without the ewok-coated tongue of someone suffering from lactose intolerance, CCC will creep into your veins and take hold until you want to kiss the rain and dance naked in the snow.
Funnel that addiction in another submission and you’ll overcome the pusillanimous punch of life as you lay a larkspur carpet of words that castrate the fear and embraces the poplolly community of love.
Welcome!
~~~
@Jenny-Welcome to CCC!
When work becomes a mudslide of emotions, come on over to CCC to sort them out. You will worship before the golden shininess of CCC, like an Ewok to C-3PO.There is only welcome at CCC, where even lactose intolerance looks kindly upon the milky walls.
Our characters are creeps and lovers, buffoons and poets. They kiss the rain and make it storm, always creating a funnel of creativity. Our community fights the demons of a pusillanimous life, leaving a larkspur of words that castrate the devil of doubt.
So, Poplolly, welcome to CCC and all the joy that it can bring.
~~~
@Isabella-Welcome to CCC! Hope you can read this.You have come across the delectable truffle of the internet. CCC is a sweet confection of creativity and a smooth, warm embrace. At CCC, words and their meaning are often ambiguous as we weave a story of our own telling.
They may dance with the lightness of an enchanting sprite or whinny with laughter as they tumble in comic refrain. Each week we come by and scoop up the challenge with a pelican capacity for more. Sometimes they discombobulate, while other times they set our minds racing as we search for a gnomic verse.
But, with samurai resolve, we blossom at the challenge as we cover our creative souls in an ochre warpaint to battle this sweet addiction.
Welcome to the madness.
@Khaver – Welcome to CCC! (Great name, by the way)
Thank you for sharing the sweet truffle of your talent. Here at CCC, we are never ambiguous in our welcome where submissions become the sprite of creative imagery and the envy of all who visit. The whinny of welcome builds into the roar of virtual applause as we appreciate with pelican passion those who join our fold.
So, when life tends to discombobulate your good intentions, and gnomic poetry is beyond your keyboard reach, take on the weekly challenge of CCC, the western samurai of words. It starts with the seed of thought to blossom with the ochre glow of peace.
Welcome!
@Ember-Welcome to CCC!
Here words fly under the protective wings of creative angels that know the code to breaking through to the inner muse. Submission after submission tunnels its way to a community that welcomes it home. The incognito look of the writer within burst free in artistic gems that know no quota.
With Shane as the alpha dog, the only war here is the battle of words. The husband and wife marriage of the challenge and words offers a puzzle too good to be solved.
@Tanja- Welcome to CCC!
In case you are under the impression that this was a solo visit, let us assure you that you have only just begun. CCC is the sweet addiction even the angels don’t mind. There is no dress code for you or your words, just tunnels and tunnels of fun and adventure.
So, come incognito or wearing your best verse, all we ask is that you come back again. There are no rules, no word quota or required style. It’s all about you and the words inside. So, welcome to our own special dog and pony show where war is unarmed and many a wife is left to puzzle where her author husband has roamed.
Welcome!

@Walter-Welcome to CCC!
No longer flying under CCC’s radar, your words take flight like angels on a mission, sharing the secret code of all we hold dear. The challenge tunnels through the barriers of life where the incognito become well-known.
Who can put a quota on thoughts or dog the words we use to reveal them? At CCC we war with the struggle that each challenge may bring, but we revel in the release of imprisoned words. Like a supportive wife, the CCC community welcomes you home and applauds when you solve this week’s puzzle.
Welcome!

The Welcoming Queen is glad to see you as her jaw drops at another great submission. We love the word challenges that are the overalls for creative genius, just waiting to be pulled on.
CCC is a peach of a place where all are welcomed like the warm, sliding embrace of a pair of long johns on a cold winter night. Let the words provide the heat as they boil over in their desperate need for expression. From Ipil to Indiana, writers of every kind take on each week’s challenge to create villain and hero, laughter and tears, all to rattle the senses.
@Julia-Welcome to CCC!
Soon this place will be your own special Queen of Hearts with jaw-dropping drama and side-splitting humor. The cast of characters has something for everyone.
From Bayou Billy in overalls fun to James the Assassin in chilling details, they all entertain in their own unique way. For words are the messenger to all who hear their call, whether delivered with a soft peach drawl or a raucous, long johns shout.
Let the emotions boil and join the Ipil party where boredom is the villain and the senses are set free on the great wok of creativity.

CCC lights the path to creativity like a shooting star on a moonless night. Once you tack on your first submission, you’re hooked. Soon you find yourself cramming work in so you have more time for the wonders of CCC.
As the self-appointed Queen of Welcome, let me say how glad we are to see you. Come join us as we chip away at the granite wall of writer’s block that hides the words you once crooned like magic.

@Christina-Welcome to CCC!
When the next moonless night draws near and the blackness seeps inside, tack on a Creative Copy Challenge and start cramming the night with words. Use the appointed challenge to inspire. Use your granite talent to succeed. And when the writing flows, like a sweetly crooned melody, you will know this was meant to be.
Your fear will fall like acid rain, and become cleansed with the hope held inside, rubberized for you to keep. The common brown becomes caramel and laughs with a low shriek of rebirth.
Welcome to CCC!
@Stacey-Welcome to CCC!
Like a moonless night, the internet without CCC lacks shine. We tack on our stories, cramming them with feelings we want to share through appointed words of inspiration. With granite resolve, we come back each week to try our hand and to be crooned by the stories of others.

@Patricia @Mariken-Welcome to the CCC!
Maybe you saw it in a tweet or read about it on a blog. However you got here, we’re glad you came. It’s more fun than an ice cream cone on the first day of summer. The knowledge that this place exists is as comforting as a garden hose in 100 degree heat and a summer full of fun.
Whether you dash off your prose in a tiny minute or labor over the next great series, at CCC your worries are dropped as you enjoy the splendid rush of words. Here you stay true to the writer inside.
So, let the CCC become your storage barn of stories that walk the tightrope of dreams that duck into your heart.
Welcome!
@Martha-Welcome to CCC!
The sordid side of life has a kind of beauty that comes with the velocity of words that open our eyes to the unanswered questions that concretize the pain. Many have miscalculated the power of words and the feelings that act as the raincoat to the inner soul.
Here at CCC, we understand it and open our arms to the possibilities as we write about evil, then laugh with delight at a lighthearted tale. Each submission bears its own style as the words form the stalactite of creativity, flowing to a single point.
At times it is a creepy and bumpy ride, and perhaps an arduous path, but the journey is well-worth it as it brings us back home to CCC.
Welcome!
@Vernessa-Welcome to CCC!
Your peripatetic wanderings are over. You have found your way home to words straddling genius and a community ready to expunge all doubt. Soon you will be ensconced in the madness that happens every week as the submissions blaze in the sweet polarity of right and wrong, long and short, funny and sad.
Effete words we exonerate and breathe life between each consonant to return them to an imperturbable form where each is cherished and none are a profligate waste.
Welcome.

@AmyBeth=Welcome to CCC!
This is the classified home of creativity where naked words come out of the dark to shine in any way you choose. From lewd to laughable, no virtue is spared as the dawn of each challenge brings something new.
Each week you’ll return with angel-like reverence to sprawl your offerings for all to read, praying for redemption from critics and all who doubt the talent we have inside. The CCC community welcomes all and we hate any who would dress down our intent – to share words and dreams with those who understand.
Welcome!

@Olivia-Welcome to CCC! You get your own since you snuck in behind my group hug
======================
This is classified greatness with simple, naked fun. We run the gamut from dark and lewd to the warm virtue of the breaking dawn with an angel touch.
So, sprawl in the meadow of words that hate to be left alone as you dress them up in their finest and party with a community that knows.
Welcome!
~~~
o.k. this is going to have to be a group hug
===============================
@Adam M, @Lisa Marie, @Tim, @D Ryan – Welcome to CCC!
No need to look in a classified for the naked truth about CCC. The dark, lewd virtue is true as sure as you’ll find the dawn of an angel song, too.
As the words sprawl across the screen, they take on many forms. You are sure to find some you love. And if you hate to dress the part, you can hide behind the mask of words.
Welcome!
~~~
@Stuart and @Kathie-Welcome to CCC! Sorry, a bit late here with the holiday.
Take out a classified, the naked truth is CCC is the place to be. It’s no longer a deep, dark secret. From the lewd and lascivious to the virtue of innocents, the dawn of awakening has arrived. No angel trumpets required – just the sprawl of words from the keyboards of creativity.
If you hate the noise, turn off the sound and dress the part of a dreamer.
Welcome!

@Jeanette R – Welcome to CCC!
Here you’ll find the raw emotions arching from mind to screen in a manipulation beyond our control. More powerful than the richest caffeine, each challenge takes red to cerise, pain to agony and smiles to guffaws.
The addiction that is CCC will have you looking for ways to wedge in yet one more challenge as your mottled world morphs into a kaleidoscope of creativity.
Admittedly, our view is slanted, but soon you will agree, life without CCC is bereft of emotion and devoid of the simple joy of words.
Welcome!
~~~
@Sean Murphy-Welcome to CCC!
When you nerves are feeling raw and your creative muscle feels like arching its back in splendor, come on over to CCC and release the story inside. With the right manipulation of caffeine and creativity, you’ll find places you never knew existed inside.
We welcome each submission with the cerise heart embrace of each cherished word. CCC is the wedge into inspiration, taking mottled thoughts and turning them into masterpieces. So, if your meaning is slanted, and bereft of a home, come back each week to a place never devoid of the ecstasy of words.
Welcome!

@Elise-Welcome to CCC!
Here words fly on the trapeze of creativity to form spectacular prose with a magician touch. Your unicycle ride stretches in a spandex world of welcome where the mysterious is right around the corner. Innovation begins with each week’s challenge as the stories revel in originality and rise to a totem pole of strength, while the CCC family becomes the jugglers of dreams.
Welcome!
@Alisa-Welcome to CCC!
Trapeze on over whenever you are in need of a spectacular time. With the wonder of a magician, the incomprehensible becomes poetic and a unicycle the latest vehicle of creativity. We take the meaning of words and spandex them into our own. Sometimes mysterious, sometimes a beauty of innovation, whatever form they take, the originality of each is unsurpassed.
So, add to the totem of characters and join the jugglers of time who come home to CCC.

Here the indomitable flow of words transform from civilian prose to masterpiece. The incessant flow of inspiration will creep into your soul, taking the initiative of banning mediocrity.
The creative patter you once thought impossible shatters the chaos of doubt to inebriate you with its power, which triggers the addiction we now share.

@Jody-Welcome to CCC!
From the codex of an earlier time to the challenges of today, CCC glorifies the power of words. Defenestrate all previous notions that hold you back and join the community that celebrates life in all its forms.
With Gizzard-like engineering, each week’s challenge wanders the halls of headology to release the genius from the gelid grasp of despair into a catheter escape to expression. Here your words know the reincarnation that brings stories alive with a welcoming shazam. Like you, words have resilience and burn to have their story told.
Welcome!

@Aslam @Siggi @ Sandy – Welcome to CCC!
No need to justify your return to CCC, even if you request the time off from the job that delivers your pay. Some things in life just don’t need any explanation and we know that once you are hooked by the CCC addiction, you simply cannot stop.
So, come on by and deck out your words in all your hopes and dream. Break through the lock to your inner soul where creativity is found and inspiration is never far behind as you wash away the stinging slap of doubt.
Welcome to CCC!

@Koko-A late welcome to the CCC!There is no sinister plot – unless you write one. There is no intelligence in another world – unless you fly us there. Our message is the words are your patriots of imagination.
You can create a purgatory of pestilence or a balance between right and wrong. The words are but the ghost of creative tragedy waiting to be formed.
At CCC, there is no grudge against any form because we know the art of words is the love we all seek.
Welcome!
~~~
@Anthony Smits – Welcome to CCC!
It’s been so long since you’ve had so much fun. You never now what you will find at CCC. I don’t feel guilty each time I leave work behind to visit CCC. Why should I?
CCC is an original, and we don’t find it odd that it has such great appeal. There’s humor and drama and the mystical as well. It will influence your writing in ways you never dreamed. In a sense, CCC is what writing was meant to be.
Soon you will be high on the CCC ride and marveling at your unbelievable luck that you discovered the CCC home.

@Diane Hall – Welcome to CCC!
More comforting than a peanut butter sandwich, CCC is a delightful wrap of welcome for all who feel privileged to be a part of such a great community. It’s a holiday of nice in a world where some are clueless in how much that really means.
Each submission sings with the sweet golf club ping of a perfectly placed word, releasing its sweet nectar like a ripening orange.When you feel frightened that words have left you, allow the magic of CCC to provide the legs to return them home. For when they come together, it’s the miracle knob leading to the door of success.
Welcome!
~~~
@Richard-Welcome to CCC!
It’s another reason to celebrate, each time we land someone new. From the cerebral to the clever twist, CCC is a continuous source of captivating entertainment. Block out the critical cacophony of those who don’t understand the crushing loss when a creative voice is silenced to copy an unfulfilled challenge of norm.
Welcome to CCC!
~~~
@Lou Barba – Welcome to CCC!
If we seem somewhat ambitious in our welcome, well that’s just how we roll at CCC. Each submission receives a bright welcome as we give all a fighting chance to be heard. We feel like the luckiest of communities and don’t find it the least bit strange that we tend to get a bit excitable each time a newbie joins our fold.
It’s a wise step you made in this Yuletide time to visit our humble home. With an eggnog cheer, we smile at the words that act as a rooster‘s call to another great day that enters with howitzer acclaim.
Welcome!
~~~
@Jason Drexler – Welcome to CCC!
It’s an ambitious bunch here at CCC. We see the world of words as a bright place to be. When we are fighting to find just the right flow, we know our luckiest move is the week to week challenge. So, we get a bit excitable, but we are wise to the value of a supportive community that is our year-long yuletide of joy.
CCC provides the eggnog of each celebratory challenge as we rooster-strut our way to another howitzer moment.
Welcome!

@Al – Welcome to CCC!
In its own tiny way, CCC is changing the way we see words. Out of the blue, the challenge words dance across the screen, leaving all to freak out in delight and laugh with sheer joy. For here the words march to their very own tune across the CCC sheet of success. Here no one is too busy to welcome the words that always touch us in their own special form. We take comfort in knowing we can count on CCC to always bring a smile.
Welcome to our world!
@Sean MaryHelen Johnson – Welcome to CCC!
We thrive on the deletion of critics and no disclaimer is ever necessary. Your creativity is yours to share as we make the wretched easy and the simple complex. We are justifiably proud of our community with its unshaded praise and caliper precision as we measure each challenge.
We wrap newcomers in the Sundacarpas walls of green, leaving flashy dwellings to those beyond our handicraft. Welcome to our world.
@Mary G – Welcome to CCC!
Here each word is the concierge to a greater story. Together they bring life to the detritus of dreams gone by to instill energy once more. There is none of the annoying restrictions that crush creativity to fester in mediocrity, begging for an apology. No story is too bold or off limits as words emerge as a stellar representation of all we have to share. How could anyone grow tired of that?
Welcome!
~~~
Holy-moly-look what happens when I come late to the party – all these newbies – sorry for running late on this.
@Dilly @Evelyn @Rick @Lironah @Louis – Welcome to CCC!
Overcome the lethargy of the inane nattering of the critic carbuncle and welcome to the CCC meritocracy where the husbandry of creativity grows between green walls and takes an ornithopter flight to destiny.
Within our enclave, words are the eloquent barrister of dreams as they build in a syncopated release from the detritus mound carried away by the sumpter of mediocrity.
Welcome!
