We hope y’all enjoyed your time at yeah write
We encourage you to keep up the blogging relationships and the writing habits you may have developed while you were here for the month of November. If you’re feeling like you could use a super cool button badge for your sidebar to mark the time you spent with us, grab it from the sidebar. It’s near the top with the bright green check mark.
Save the date for our next big event!
Our summer should kick off nicely in May 2014 with our writing series on how to become a better writer for online audiences.
Thanks for being part of our humble community, the best place on the Web for writers who blog and bloggers who write.
Yeah write #138 challenge grid opens Tuesday…
Way to go, Gwen!
Congratulations, Gwen! This was quite the experience! Great to have met a lot of new bloggers!
Whew and Wow, and whoa, and we did it!
What an amazing month! Now that November is over, I am feeling a bit at sea, going back to posting a mere three days a week. Congrats Gwen, and everyone who managed to post every single freakin’ day (including me)!!
Special thanks to all the rowmies I met and connected with, and all the new bloggers/writers I am now following. And a special shout out to Rosanna from Writing on the Pages of Life, who managed to write even through Typhoon Haiyan!
Congrats to Gwen!
And congrats to everyone else, even if you didn’t complete all 30 days! Hey, we all rock dagnabbit. =)
Kudos to you guys for pulling off these amazing feats! Blogging all month, winning an awesome prize (Gwen), and putting together such a great community!
