I understand. I was nervous too on submitting my first (and so far only) Video Games quiz. In fact, I still get nervous when submitting to a new category, or a category I've submitted to before...pretty much whenever I hit the "Submit" button on a new quiz.

But you know Kyle is nice. Even in the unlikely event that he needs to send your quiz back for further work, he won't yell at you, right?

BTW, good luck! 😻

Thanks, Cat! 🧡 I always get nervous submitting to a category I've never written for before. If it is to a category I have experience in, like Literature, then I'm not as nervous. One thing: don't be too sure it's unlikely that it will get sent back. I've written 21 quizzes so far. Only 5 got online without being sent back.

Kyle is very nice, I'm not at all worried he'll be mean. What I'm worried about is irritating him with an imperfect quiz.

That's not something to be worried about. You won't be bothering him. Checking quizzes and sometimes pointing out areas that need more work is his job. Of course editors love getting quizzes that can go directly online without corrections, but guess how many of those they get every day? Not many. And even old hands make mistakes and need guidance sometimes. Just do your best to begin with and implement the suggestions, if any, the editors offer and you'll do fine!

Well, he did send it back for more work. Minor work but still work. I'm going to resubmit it tonight and hope for the best. Kyle is a very good, straightforward editor, a pleasure to work with.

Best of luck with the re-submission.

Don't regard a returned quiz as a failure; regard it as an opportunity to excel. And, believe me, this is coming from someone who took a while to learn that lesson.

Thanks!

That's how I regard having to resubmit quizzes. The only reason I hate having a quiz rejected is because the editors might get irritated.

I nominate Fun Trivia as the only site in the world safe for children. Even Wikipedia, a public site, isn't safe because there are nude pictures and swear words ON WIKI!!!! Fun Trivia is truly the only kid-friendly site left in the world.

It's my goal to get at least one quiz online in each category. So far I've done Literature, Movies, Hobbies, People, Brain Teasers, Television, Humanities and Video Games. I can easily do Animals, Celebrities, Entertainment, For Children, General, History, Music, Religion, Sci/Tech, and World. With difficulty, I can do Geography and World. But the sports category, that one I cannot do no matter how hard I try. That one category will hinder my goal.

That's a laudable goal. I think you need to be open to the possibilities in categories which you feel will prove difficult.

My own focus has been crossword puzzles. So far, I've managed to write five in every category. The ones I'm finding difficult from a puzzling perspective are Entertainment, Television and Literature!

Yes, I had thought that writing a Video Games quiz would be so difficult, but I pushed aside the mental barrier and voila! a video games quiz online!
