The 2014 yeah write summer series wraps up this week! Check out Christine’s weekly kickoff post to find everything you need to know about the guidelines, format, and lounges for the last week of our summer series. You’ll find the grid and posting guidelines at the bottom of this post. Don’t forget to drop by the yeah write lounges and the coffeehouse and introduce yourself. They are open 24-7 for the rest of this week, and we would love to see you there. In the meantime, our weekly summer series writing topics continue. Be sure to check in tomorrow for Michelle’s take on literary devices!
It’s the end of the summer
As we wind down the 2014 summer series, and there are a few things you should know.
- Starting this Sunday with yeah write #176, we’re retiring the supergrid and going back to business as usual. The gargleblaster will open on Monday and the challenge grid and speakeasy will open on Tuesday. All three grids will be unmoderated for the next couple of weeks because we’re not quite ready to completely let go of summer. Keep your eyes out for the Sunday kickoff post to get the full schedule. New to the grids? Check out How yeah write works.
- The lounges will close their doors at the end of this week. We can’t express how wonderful it has been to read along and learn with all of you in all three of our critique lounges. We love your enthusiasm and your commitment to improving your writing and to helping your fellow yeah writers work on theirs. We’ll keep the lights on for a bit so you can make sure to capture the posts and comments that are most important to you, but posting will be disabled.
- The coffeehouse will remain open! If you haven’t visited, please stop by and say hello. The coffeehouse is a place for our community to gather, get to know each other, exchange ideas and links, and chat. Read a good book lately? Have a link you want to share? Dealing with some writer’s block? Pull up a chair, grab a latte and start a conversation. We won’t be doing any critiquing in the coffeehouse, mind – we want to keep things there light and casual.
We’ve got some more exciting changes coming up for the fall, so make sure you’re subscribed to our weekly e-mail blast. That’s the best way to get all our news, fast! Just fill out that little form in the left-hand sidebar and call it good.

This week’s optional prompt is: have you ever seen the rain?
Go ahead and answer that question in a gargleblaster, incorporate it in your longer fiction, or use it as inspiration for your nonfiction. You can also ignore it completely if you’ve already got a great idea! Below you’ll find the badge for the summer supergrid #175. Copy the code under the badge and paste it into the html or text view of your blog editor. Having trouble? Contact christine@yeahwrite.me for tech support.
