The Gather Writing Essential (WE) group is the only Essential group that is solely member run by a team of different and talented Gather members who are here to help you create seven great days of writing. The Writing Essential group was created as a home for the Gather writers to congregate and publish their work while receiving constructive criticism. It is a place to share their experiences and ask questions about the craft of writing. You can find our more on the WE homepage.
The wonderful thing about the Gather Writing Essential group is that it is always changing. It is time for change once again.
The Sunday WE editor, Ron Hall has some important things going on in his life right now. It is not allowing him the time to do his current editing job in the group. Be sure to look for lots of interesting posts from him in the future concerning yard sales.
Thank you so much Ron for all your past help and good luck in the future with your yard sale and other endeavors. Thanks so much.

We do have an amazing group of WE editors. Each one adds a different element to the group. Like you, Doug will do an amazing job. I am sure of that.
I have not seen you around much lately. Are you ok?
Welcome, Doug.
It looks like you brought a following with you. :)
I will update my doc tomorrow.
You are like me, you are just too tired to be on the computer. :)
We have a great group of member editors in the WE group. Each of you folks are a pleasure to deal with.
A Short History of the Writing Essentials Editors
You can talk hats with me! LOL I love hats
Thanks Ron.
Doug... you will do well. How can a guy wearing laurel leaves not do well.
He always kept the posts added to the group rapidly, that is for sure.
Doug will do a great job. Each of you editors are amazing
Congrats new editor!
Goodbye to the other
Doug, nobody has yet said it so I guess it falls to me to welcome you to the WE group of editors by saying: ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?
Welcome, Doug, and we look forward to what you can contribute.
You know the saying "You don't have to be crazy but it helps". LOL
Woo Hoo for Doug and welcome, welcome welcome.
I bet Doug will keep you on your toes! You and he have a lot in common. You are both talented writers.
Ron was great to keep the posts cleared for the group but there was very seldom a prompt. It was "write anything" day.
Doug will be posting prompts.
