Please stand by; your editors are voting

The grid is closed to new submissions, but there is always time to read new-to-you blogs and become part of our community while you wait for editors’ votes to start showing up beneath each thumbnail.

We are scoring each entry based on a standard spreadsheet. As the editors email me their scores, I will add them as “votes” beneath the thumbnails. It’ll say “votes” but please translate that as “scores”. As we bate our breath, the thumbnails will be sorted in order of most page views to least so far. As the tallies change, so will the grid order.

Hey, there, virgins! How’s it goin’?

As The Outlaw Mama said in the comments of Stephanie’s virgin post: buckle up. It’s not all Skittles and cream gravy all the time like you may find in other places, but we do love the tenacious writer.  What did Lisa say in her inaugural post? Oh, yeah: we don’t wanna read about your sunshine. Every other good story you have? Bring it. We’re glad you’re here. 

Comment karma

You still have until 8 p.m. US central time to comment on as many as you can. We are not comment grubbers, far from it. Yeah write has always valued quality over quantity. However, encouraging everyone to lay hands on each entry works as a reward for those who worked so hard to get published on the grid in the first place. That “your yeah write submission” email from Flood is no fun, but it is very helpful, and we admire those who rework their entries based on her suggestions or just plain old start over. Leaving a comment recognizes the hard work everyone put in to get here.

Leave a comment on all 25 entries this week, and you’ll earn comment karma. I made you a winners’ badge. You know you want it.

Have fun reading and commenting as you wait for the winners’ post. Share yeah write with your friends. We’re still trying to get back to 50 published submissions on the grid so we can kick off a four-week challenge for a $100 Amazon gift card. We won’t get there until you start proselytizing about our awesomeness. 

Winners’ post with each editor’s choice, including a guest editor gig by my husband Q plus a jury prize winner, to be published Friday at midnight US eastern time.
