RE: The Club and The Ballroom, a WeWrite
OMG I forgot about the word limit!
500 words
Oh man I blew it. Off to go count my words, AFTER I posted 'em.
Nothing gratuitous! I am doomed!
Thank you for the kind words and your encouragement, and I love your research and the way you let the story reshape itself as needed to fit the form... 500 words, I forgot, I forgot, but you did not - I have much to learn. Thank you again!!
I don't think it's a hard and fast rule, just more of a courtesy! You won't be disqualified! Oh I have so many wewrites to read. I think I've read two of them so far this week.
I'm so far behind too - but I did revise mine down to 500 words. Thank you. Less is more!
Will we ever get caught up reading...
There are days I can't bear to read another blog post, and somehow I still read just a couplethree more.
I actually READ the pieces I upvote and comment on. Every. Single. One.
People comment on posts they haven't read?
Oh my.
I've been guilty of speed reading and missing a detail here and there, but not to read it at all - well, that would explain the excess of brief comments like "Great story."
Oh dear. As if reading and catching isn't daunting enough, being obligated to offer PROOF of having read the whole thing would really scare off commenters, wouldn't it?
Better to read a few in-depth than to skim a multitude, right?
It's far more satisfying than skimming. I learn a lot here. Obsessed with reading these blogs I am. Too bad it doesn't pay off unless you're a skimmer.
Curators get paid, sometimes.
Skimming for pennies; Diving Deep for Fun and Profit!
I need to get with the program
