Say hi to Kevin.
It’s been awhile since we’ve hit that magic 30 post mark needed to open up our editor-curated invitational grid. But we’ve got a new honor to hand out in those weeks — like this one — when there is no jury prize competition. Introducing the submission editor’s kiwi. His name is Kevin.
Hi Kevin!
Kevin stands out in a crowd with his fuchsia scarf effortlessly tossed across his shoulder and his top hat jauntily perched upon his head. Are you a kiwi? Did your post stand out in the crowd? Obed M, our submissions editor, will choose his favorite post each week we’re under 30 posts on the grid, and bestow upon it the editor’s kiwi.
And the kiwi goes to . . .
“The Hill” by Shirley Dietz at I Just Have to Say
Congratulations Shirley! The inaugural submissions editor kiwi award goes to you! Go grab your badge in the sidebar. It’s the one with the, um, kiwi on it.

“The Rewards Jar” by Cindy Reed at The Reedster Speaks
Oh. That’s me. Well this is kind of awkward. Thanks everyone! I’ll just go over to that sidebar and help myself to one of those badges.
Congratulations to Matthew at The Matticus Kingdom for snagging second place. You get a badge, too!
Weekend moonshine grid opens today at 6 p.m. eastern time and we have PRIZES!
It’s the weekend, and Natalie D is setting up her moonshine grid and bathtub gin just for you. The moonshine grid is the flip side of our weekly challenges: a no-stress link-up where we accept anything except commercial or sponsored posts. You can catch up with Natalie starting at 6 p.m. eastern time today. Closing time is midnight on Monday.
Win-win
The thumbnails are now sorted in the grid from most votes to the least. In the case of a tie, the thumbnails are additionally sorted by page views.
Do not be discouraged if your blog has landed near the bottom of the grid; especially if it was a tight race. The fun lies in getting better exposure for your blog and, in the spirit of competition, an incentive to improve your writing and blogging skills. It’s a win-win for everybody involved.
Thanks again, everybody, for submitting, for reading, and for accepting the weekly writing challenge. And for making yeah write the most welcoming spot on the Interwebs for writers who blog and bloggers who write.
Take a moment…
Before you go? Congratulate this week’s winners in the comments, and let your favorites know their work meant something to you. Yeah write #153 opens Tuesday.

congratulations, Cindy, Matthew, and Shirley! You did nice writing. 🙂
Congratulations to Cindy, Matthew, and Shirley!! And to Kevin, for making his debut.
Thank you!
Kevin is pretty snazzy. I hope he visits my blog at some point too.
Happy Friday and have a great weekend.
Yay! Congrats everybody!
I’m super jealous of the Editor’s Kiwi … Hope Vegas gives me some good blog fodder this weekend so I can join up again soon!
Thank you!
Vegas, baby, Vegas! Hey, that’s nearly in my neck of the woods… a mere 4 1/2 hour drive away. You should pop on out for a visit. 😉
I hope you have a blast. Hit the poker room in the Wynn, I’ve had some good luck there. It’s not the biggest of rooms, but it’s a good atmosphere and very comfortable for those late night games. And, if you aren’t into poker, well, then I have nothing further to say to you. 😛
Congratulations Cindy, Matthew & Shirley!
Thank you!
Congrats Cindy, Matthew, and Shirley! Those thumbnails are huge. Do you feel like you’re on a billboard?
Thank you.
And, yeah, a billboard definitely. I also feel like I should upload a higher res photo so I can use that for future linkups. 😉
