Another Commenting Challenge with a BIG Prize

Writing is only one part of what makes this community strong. Our community would exist without the generosity of your writing AND comments. For this, we want to reward you by offering an incredible opportunity! This weekend, we aim to demonstrate our appreciation of this community with our second Commenting Challenge.

Wouldn't it be great to escape for a few days to just write? Oh, do I have a place for you! You won't have to cook a single meal, it's tranquil, there's wifi, AND it's affordable.
