Voting for our two challenges is now open
You love it, you love it not?
We don’t want to base our voting on daisy petals though. Ignore the daisy and vote for your three favorite stories on the nonfiction grid and your absolutely totally bonkers-berserk favorite on the fiction|poetry grid!
Before you vote
The feedback from the vote is fantabulous but without your personal touch we won’t know what we’re doing right and what areas we can focus on to do better next week. Please take a moment to make a thoughtful comment on each post you read. This is about community. We want to encourage applause as well as constructive criticism. We all want to improve our writing and you can help!
How do I vote?
Both nonfiction and fiction|poetry challenges are open below for your voting pleasure. The rules are simple:
- Everyone gets three votes on nonfiction and one vote on fiction|poetry. (That’s right, we’re checking to see if you read the rules this week.)
- Self-voting is not allowed. That’s cheating. You want an honest win, right?
- Targeted votes (social media contacts coming in and voting just for you) are not allowed. That’s also cheating. Voters must read all the entries on a grid before voting for their top three.
- Votes must be based on the quality of writing, not your friendship with the author. If you’re torn between two posts, vote for the one that has better writing. That means grammar, punctuation and spelling as well as sentence structure and concept. The hard work of becoming a better writer structurally is important, and we want you all to feel like you earned every vote!
To vote for a post, scroll down to each grid and click on the heart within the thumbnail. Once you’ve voted for your three favorites, you will be able to view the vote tallies after refreshing the page.
Have fun!
