It’s been a long week, so this will not be a long post that no one will read in the first place.
How the judges’ votes work
Erica M selects her favorite quite subjectively, and she appreciates those who
[bullet_list]
- have clearly grown in their writing since joining yeah write
- write their posts in the spirit of yeah write while demonstrating understanding of the FAQ and guide to writing a winning yeah write post
- spread the yeah write love by voting and introducing yeah write to those who might love it as much as they do
[/bullet_list]
Flood G leans towards posts that
[bullet_list]
- tell a clear story, she doesn’t like looking for the plot
- are around 500 words unless it’s so compelling, she doesn’t realize ’til later it was around 1000
- take chances with original takes on everyday subjects
[/bullet_list]
Jen W really loves your post when it
[bullet_list]
- shows off your sense of humor
- doesn’t make her have to figure out what you’re talking about
- evokes a touch of nostalgia
[/bullet_list]
Kristin W will choose your post if it
[bullet_list]
- avoids the trap of self-indulgent writing
- has a clear narrative without hiding the point of your post
- minds the rules of grammar and style
[/bullet_list]
How the popular vote works
Everyone gets five votes. Please read before voting. Choose your five favorites, click the yellow star to vote for them. After you vote for your five favorites, the yellow stars will disappear, and the vote tally for each thumbnail will show. Please don’t campaign for your own votes without campaigning for the entire grid.
Yeah write #62 challenge grid is open for voting…
I read all! 🙂 I find the judges’ descriptions useful – it makes me evaluate my own writing for those flaws/successes, and helps me strive to do better next time.
I, too, am a note reader. 🙂
I read it too, I have to…I crave instruction like my kid craves his own boogers.
OF COURSE we read your head-note: you’re the boss, lady, and we do well to heed your words. plus also of course there’s the part where you write really well. that helps too. can’t write more. must.read.posts.
For the record, I always read the posts. 🙂 Sorry you had a long week. It’s too early in the week for anyone to have to say that.
