We’re rejiggering it
It may remain the Sunday post as most of us are still hanging out on the moonshine grid, it could become a Monday post when we could have a few more people checking in. Perhaps it’ll appear on an as-needed basis: announcing an upcoming theme, prompt or event.
Either way, we’ll let you know.
Speaking of upcoming themes, prompts or events
[unordered_list style=”star”]
- We will be once again hosting the yeah write version of BlogHer’s November NaBloPoMo. Thirty days of blogging, 30 days of free write. This year, we’ll not only be hosting a NaBlo grid for the yeah write community, we’ll also have 30 days of posts here on the blog. Want to sign up to guest post on one or more days? Click here for the Google spreadsheet sign up form and let us know when you’ll be joining us. You’ll have to request access to the page; it’s the only way we can capture your email address without making it public on the sign up form.
- During NaBloPoMo, we’ll be awarding various yeah write perk packages. If you’d like to offer a prize, please click here for the sign up form and add your prize to the list. Alisa S of IceScreamMama has graciously offered a box of her homemade fudge, so I totally hope I win that one. Do you bake cookies? Hope I win that one, too.
- Our plea remains open for the yeah write community to help 12-year-old Jon Alex raise funds for his veterans’ service project. Jon Alex’s goal is to lay as many wreaths on the grave markers at Houston Memorial Cemetery as his donors allow. He is 35% funded, and any minimum donation will push him closer. Please donate today.

Our newest perk package: The 2013 Best American Series
October means the publication of the latest The Best American Series, and for the next several months, our perk package awarded on the challenge grid will include three books from that series: Best American Short Stories, Best American Essays and Best American Non-Required Reading. Some of our editors will throw in their personal favorites, and we will occasionally offer our classic writing bundles featuring Stephen King and Anne Lamott. The perk packages are our way of saying thank you for being so faithful to the cause of promoting the good works of others while practicing the craft of writing for an online audience. There are so many other places you could be each week, and we thank you for sticking with us.
