[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]Thanks for another great week at yeah write weekly writing challenge. If this was your first time here, welcome! We hope you had a good time in our friendly little circles; we really are a great group of writers and readers. There were two virgins in the competition, we are excited about introducing our community to a few more next week!
As an interesting side note, our yeah write editors aren’t eligible for our editorial staff picks, but they do compete in the challenges as their schedules allow. Thanks to the four editors who participated this week![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

After the Bar
I stumbled over Thursday, in the gutter, bleeding out its final minutes. I offered it a smoke. “Time’s almost up,” I said. “Spare a quarter?” it asked me. I checked my watch. “Sorry, friend. By my count you’ve only got ten minutes.”

Weekend moonshine grid opens today at 6 p.m. eastern time
Holy smokes, is it finally Friday? That means it’s time for our weekend community to open up and let practically every one in town have a seat at the bar. BYOB, bring your own water, bring your own non-commercial story. Natalie, our fiction co-editor is the fictional bartender, and she will serve you something pineapple-y if you ask her nicely. Join her at the moonshine grid.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]

Challenge grid final results: micro-stories
I’m lovin’ it! Too much fun. Well done, everyone. An awful lot of good reading here this week. Gracias YeahWrite – thanks for the good time!
Thank you Natalie! You are very kind and I ate up your words like those little butter mints you get at weddings. Yum!
Congrats to everyone else, winners and not-the-winners! The pieces were wonderful. J Edward, very impressive double win!
Thank you for a piece that sort of reminded me of my first head cheese experience…
😉
It’s so fun to be in such great company! Josh totally killed it. It’s hard to do that on two grids in the same week!
I thought the pieces this week were wonderful. The prompt was insanely difficult so I have to hand it to the editors. You knew what you were doing. Fun.
Congrats to J. Edward for his slam dunk! And to Erica, Bill, Genna, and Stacie for some great reading! Really strong crop this week.
and to Kinley, of course!
