0ctavia's Hothouse for budding Giants

Part of the wonderul WiWon team, I managed to make the Giant100 Club membership at the end of June and I know I wouldn't have made it without the rest of the team's support.

If you've ever wondered why there are teams and challenges to compete in while going for GiantSquid or Giant100, then I urge you to join the WiWon team and see for yourself the difference it makes.

It isn't just the encouragement of the rest of the team members, it isn't just the help you'll get or the critiques or the visits and ratings from other team members, you'll find that being part of a dedicated team makes all the difference to your lensmaking. Being able to bounce ideas around in the team forum really gets the creative juices flowing.

If you aspire to be the best then go and sign up with Willow's Wonders and meet the coaches and tutors who are waiting to help.

 

Ideas Plexo for Inter-group Olympics

Part of the WiWon School of Squids 

Pop over to Willow's Wonders and sign up before doing anything else.

Michelle (a_willow) will send you your secret password to access the group as soon as we're ready to begin and will then assign you to one of the tutors in our group and from the group's secret headquarters you'll get your next instructions.

The lensmaking challenge proper doesn't start until 1st August for the September deadline but we can start organising long before then so sign up, meet up, get to know your team-mates and we'll begin.

Willow's School of Wonders

An introduction to me 

I am 0ctavias0fferings, GiantSquidAngel. At the end of June I achieved 100 Club membership and that means I can't contribute any more lenses to the next challenge.

I can, however, help others.

First things first, join up to the WiWon team before you do any more and await your email from the Team Leader.

While you're waiting for that email, you can take a little time to look through some of the lenses linked to in the module below. You'll find plenty of advice available as well as helpful tips.

The Be guided by your Angels lens contains links to most other SquidAngels' lenses. These are full of helpful advice to steer you towards making better, more attractive and therefore more successful lenses.

Together, we'll get you there :)

Help and Guidance 

 

Why do you want to be a Giant? 

Loading poll. Please Wait...

What happens next? 

We'll start some threads where you can ask questions within the WiWon group and we'll get to know our fellow team members. Then we can get down to some serious work.

If you have specific concerns, anyone in my tutoring class should first come to me to see if I can supply answers. Of course, it may be a few days before you know which tutor you will have, so until then, you will be able to ask any immediate questions in the forum at the secret team HQ.

You might be a bit daunted by the thought of making 50 lenses, where will you get the ideas from? That's what we're here for, to give you pointers and to help you with suggestions.

It's early days yet in the new SquidGiant qualifying period and we have plenty of time to draw up action plans so don't worry, it's do-able, even if it seems like a massive hill to climb.

The WiWon team will help you get to the top.

Are you a joinee? 

Do you join teams and groups?

Joining teams and groups is for lamewads - sum up your view

It's always best to be part of a group - but what are the advantages?

Mickie_G says:

Yes, I am a joiner, or I think that I am.

ViolinStudent says:

Generally, absolutely. Right now I am so buried that I haven't been able to get involved the way I want...which irks me mightily!

KathyMcGraw says:

The support of others and the tips they give are priceless resources for sure. I will join teams where I admire the people, and that is why I joined Wiwon :)

ajgodinho says:

There is power in working in unity and supporting one another!

MeltedRachel says:

I probably would have given up before now if i hadn't been a part of Wiwon team in the last challenge- it's great to be actually involved in a community. I also would have some ugly long lenses if I hadn't had help- I would be the lamewad!!

LizMac60 says:

We can support and encourage one another.

Laniann says:

We can bounce ideas off each other. Share our knowledge.

... and a few of their lenses 

 

 

What's your forte? 

... and what's your weakness?

Do you have strengths and weaknesses in your lensmaking?

Can you help others in return for the assistance you get?

On the basis of what goes around comes around, this is one of the best ways forward. Visit the SquidU forum and see how lensmasters help each other out, join in.

If you've never been to the SquidU forum before, you are missing out on the community of Squids big time.

Let me know what you think are your strengths and weakness in the duel module below.

What do you need to improve in your lensmaking? 

Are there improvements in techinique, need ideas, need technical pointers?

I need ideas, content advice, and challenges

Zut_Moon says:

Well looky here ..I found this lens asking me for ideas for future lenses. You got to be kidding ...I steal all my ideas from other people. Remember I can't spell nor do I have an imagination. But I am CUTE !!!

ajgodinho says:

I need to explore other modules to incorporate in my lenses. I've already started doing so and with reviewing others' lenses, this has helped me include some modules that I hadn't used before.

MeltedRachel says:

I need to work on being more personal and also making lenses that aren't just about me pimping my textiles work. I want to work on making lenses about other people etc. I think I can work out the technical thing myself- at the moment I kind of like things plain and as they are on my lenses although I'm sure in the future I'll work on some html stuff.

I need technical tips to improve the look of my lenses

ViolinStudent says:

More time and beter organization. So I guess it comes down to technique.

LizMac60 says:

I'm o.k. in the ideas department but a bit technically challenged

2Eklectik says:

My lenses are all starting to look the same, so I need tips on how to make them different.

Zut_Moon says:

My biggest problem is not finding materiel but finding enough hours in a day to accomplish everything. Oh, and some tech supprot might help me as well.

Laniann says:

I need to be able to make a lens faster.

    I dropped by to send you a big THANK YOU THANK YOU for the kind encouragement you've been giving me. I am so happy every time I see you've dropped by. I've been a little nuts about making lenses but now that I'm over 50 (52 right now) I will relax and have some time to be grateful. You are a champ. Hugs -

    You wouldn't have known about the Ideas Olympics Zut, you were galavanting off on your World Tour at the time, we ran it until the competition for the Teams began then locked the ideas plexo. You clearly haven't read the thousands of threads on the WiWon forumLOL [in reply to Zut_Moon]

    One more thing or things. There just isn't enough time in 1 day to do everything that must be done. I try to visit other people's lenses (and I do visit some and probably not others). Is it fair to say that squidoo junkies have lots of imagination and want to share their knowledge and thoughts with others. And to pump out mega lenses as most of us do ... and to still live somewhat in the real world ... leaves little time for other endeavours. I guess that's my way of apologizing for conecntrating on myself and not others.

    One idea that works for me, since you did ask, is to make a lens as intertactive as possible. That's why I do a lot of quizzes in various forms. So make more Interactive lenses - it seems to work for me !!!

    As for improvement in my methods... someone buy me a dictionary ... one where the words are in alphabetical order so that I can look them up and get the correct spelling.

    What the heck is Hothouse? ...Oh, It's the team I'm on. I KNEW THAT !!!

    And then you ask me for ideas but there is no place left to put them. What kind of a rinky-dink outfit are you running anyway. You wouldn't see a Canadian messin' up like that.

    BTW .. A real good idea for a future lens would be The Zut Moon Fan Club where everone tells why they luv me so much .... (cough cough), And if that is not good enuff for you - why not a lens on "If I could have been a Famous Person... what person should I be" ...

    Gotta go ... my beer is getting warm ...

    What a great lens.....I am not part of the Hothouse team, but Michelle's comment above couldn't be more true for me. Thank you for being you, and for all you give to all of us on Wiwon.

    Katherine, you've been such a wonderful, guiding hand during the last challenge that I know the members of Octavia's Hothouse will do well with you as their coach. Nicely written lens and I can't wait to see the great lenses this group produces. Good luck all!
