[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]I have a confession to make: I’m the worst commenter at yeah write. No, bear with me. After reading everyone’s entries and doublechecking each one with the other editors, plus writing your love letters if those are needed, I’m exhausted. Often too exhausted to make the rounds one more time and write additional comments. That’s why I’m asking for your help.

Nobody wants to hear from me. I mean, I’m not making that up. You see my name in your inbox, you get a little chill. Is it a full-blown love letter telling you that your post didn’t make it onto the voting grid this week? Is it a little mash note (remember mash notes?) explaining what you missed when you were proofreading? (Please for the love of Webster and Roget, proofread.) So I don’t get a lot of chances to give you useful feedback if you didn’t screw up in one way or another.

That’s where you all come in. This is the best darn writing community on the net, and we all depend on each other not just for kudos but for meaningful feedback. What worked for you in a post? What didn’t you understand? What trick of the trade were you impressed by, or where did the post lose you? Comments are important, y’all. That’s how we help each other get from just barely making it onto the voting grid to that coveted crowd fave or staff pick.

Speaking of crowd faves and staff picks, we’ve got the voting results on all three of our grids – nonfiction, fiction|poetry, and microfiction – right here! We also have our editorial staff picks to hand out. Every week our editors comb through your submissions looking for their favorites. Picks are based on writing quality, how successful the author is in conveying information, and just plain style. We don’t give out staff picks every week; just when a post really impresses us. If you got a staff pick this week, grab your badge from the sidebar and wear it with pride!

Once you’re done reading through the staff picks (and congratulating the winners in the comments), keep scrolling down to check out who won the popular vote on all three grids.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Weekend moonshine grid opens today at 6 p.m. eastern time

One sheep, two sheep, red sheep, all the sheep are running down to the moonshine grid, which opens at 6:00 pm EST today. They’re wagging their tails behind them because they left the commercial posts at home, but they brought everything else. Date restrictions? Word count limits? BAAAAAAAAH.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]
