Congratulations Amy!!!

Welcome Jason and Samantha!

They don't list a minimum. But I would hazard a guess a drabble would be a no, flash would likely be a hard sell for winning. Good question as to what is the shortest story to win.

sounds like yours is YA, rather than a Children's Story.

It wasn't their cloud I was concerned with on that, it was there word processor. Though it does seem they have changed it. Everyone seems to say not to use Google Docs on the answer sites. When looking further, it seems though it looks OK it has formatting errors and can't handle more than 100 pages...

Do we have to use Google Docs? Have they removed the 'we own a % of what you create with it' clause from the Terms of Service? I have a fully functional copy of Word, and I reluctantly put things on Dropbox as it is, as I don't like Cloud storage at all.

Hhhmmm. Might work then. Last time I used Slack, I wasn't thrilled with it. But, if they've improved it, that could be good.

Welcome to even more new members! Happy writing everyone.

Would Slack really work for that? How would we share the MSes?

Ok; it has likely been a year since I have posted on this forum. I am attempting to balance family time, writing, and time on various forums. My first ebook was illustrated by a friend and posted to the Draft to Digital Web site. The book is about 200 pages containing 4 short stories about heroes w...

I can't decide if I'm twitching more from waiting for placement results or for my twins to come.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!

Yeah, it feels like Game of Thrones around here for Rs. Hehe.

Yes, with all the movement around it, I didn't notice it.

Congratulations to even more HMs and a SHM.

And commiserations to my fellow Rs. Wish there was a hug smilie.

Rejection.

I got a rejection. *sigh* Anyone interested in beta reading it? I have an anthology in mind for it that closes in November.

I wonder how much longer us email subs get to twitch. I suspect only people here in the forum are emailed, and there's a fair amount of them. I wonder how many people still mail in.



Nice to see all the Silver HMs in the forum.

Congrats on the Silver HM and HMs, and commiserations for the R. I'm still twitching.

I signed the contract and the editor said it was safe to share, so here we go: Mad Scientist Journal put out a call for classified ads and are planning to publish my submission in March 2018. It's a 180ish word fictional classified ad, so I'm not sure if that falls into flash or an even smaller cat...

We call it twitching. We all get more twitchy the longer it's been since the close of the Quarter. Especially after results start showing up on the Grinder.

Congratulations!!

Well, the feedback I got from everybody convinced me even more it's a longer piece, so I'm definitely not making it in this quarter. I don't even know if when done it will still be within word count for this contest.

Welcome Carolyn.

Don't know if I'll make it in this quarter. I've submitted to my writer's group to get feedback, but I know I rushed the ending. In the end It might make into the next if I can keep it in the max word count. It seems to want to be at least a long novelette at it's shortest the more I think about it....

If someone is really looking for advice, they should read Dave's Daily Kicks. He's the coordinating judge, and he gives writers all the advice they need. Generally, I think writing advice from novices can steer one rapidly down any number of rabbit holes. But if we're giving out novice advice, here...

Welcome, Vince!

Welcome!

Commiserations for the additional R's as well.
