Welcome to yeah write #59! A few requests and reminders from the lurking judges and the editor for this week:

Some yeses and noes

Watch your post length. Your judges, including your peers affecting the popular vote, have 50 blogs to read in a very short time. Keeping that in mind, about 500 words should just about do it. Erica M, the editor, prefers even fewer words. Well-told stories don’t get caught in the rambles.

Bring us your best stuff. Don’t take up a spot on the limited challenge grid with a post submitted just so you can grab a spot. Before we start drinking, we can tell the difference between best stuff and grabbing-a-spot stuff, so just in case we get to your post before cocktail hour, make sure it’s an outstanding effort.

Please read and understand the FAQ. If they are not clear, please feel free to email Erica M with any questions before submitting your link. The day yeah write opens, she is glued to her inbox waiting for you.

Don’t bury the lede. Get to the point early and often. There is no such thing as a 500-word introduction.

Don’t submit your own promotional or commercial posts. There are so many wonderful sites out there that exist for you to promote your sponsored awesomeness. This is a writing challenge that promotes your writing awesomeness.

The hangout grid

The yeah write #59 hangout grid is also open for those of you who enjoy good writing without the competitiveness. The only differences between the two are there is no voting element, it’s open to an unlimited number of bloggers and it closes on Sunday instead of Thursday. The community spirit of yeah write floats between both grids, and I thank everyone who’s contributed to that spirit for the past year or so.

If it’s before 7 am US CDT and you’re having problems

Don’t forget, if you’re having problems adding your post to the grid and you don’t get a response from Erica M immediately, either to your tweet, comment or email, please please please tweet @inlinkz and Aris will be happy to help you figure it out. Sometimes, Erica M is sleepin’. Usually between the hours of midnight US CDT and 6 a. m. US CDT [-5 GMT]. Aris will help while Erica M snores.
