marilyn...I sent all parts 1 2 3 here but do not see them...?

They shoot parakeets don't they ?

Did you enjoy that short story?

WTF (pardon my french)? I'm trying to share my FWE post with the group... and it's not working!!! Has anyone else had this problem?

I am just looking for ideas, maybe people to meet and talk to about writing. I've never had anything published, because I'm afraid to and not good about handling criticism. I tend to lean towards science fiction and fantasy. I also write poetry, but have been too chicken to have it published either. I live outside the Albany, NY area, and would like to try and find others near me.

Hi,

I thank you for letting me join..I am a beginner. Lynn who's ....I finally made it..Thank you for your inspiration . I learned how to paste and copy,lol .

What I would find helpful in this group is a way to find the daily prompts from the editors without going through the dozens of posts.  There are times when I want to refresh my memory on a specific prompt from a specific editor for a given day of the week, but find it frustrating to locate it.  If there is a way to do that already, I'd be grateful to hear it.

Congratulations, new member editors!

I've not been addiing WWE to my postings, as I'd thought the posts were to be targeted to the daily writing prompts. Now that I'm here viewing features and posts, I see that maybe I thought wrong.

Welcome, Atticus!

Loving the expanded "Featured" area!

Greetings all!  I thought I'd post my acceptance policy here and when I have a chance, will create a post on this topic.

<b>I accept articles tagged with "wwe".  I want and expect as a professional courtesy the other member/editors to either accept those article thus tagged or leave them for me to accept.  I check the WE queue daily.

I also accept any article submitted that demonstrates literary merit.  Poetry, fiction, essay, reporting, etc that would enhance other Gather members experiences are acceptable and welcome.   </b>

I am at such a standstill in my life right now. I have to get all these words in me out. 

Hi everybody, Im new to Gather... I'm a college student and fiction writer... Check out my blog at http://ariherb.blogspot.com if you're interested in reading some of my work (I'm still setting things up at the moment and have only one story posted). Thanks and comments appreciated.

Hello everyone,

Id like to share with the ladies of this writing group my Womens Wellbeing Magazine online.  It is full of articles from all walks of life to empower and inspire women the world over.

We are always looking for writers or if you are more comfortable just soaking up the wonderful words we are happy with that.

So, if you would like a challenge or have your work published to share and inspire others please visit www.brandlady.com or contact myself at clare@brandlady.com and I can direct you of what to do to contribute.

We hope some of you would like to share your wonderful work and look forward to hearing from some of you. Thankyou.

Kindest regards,

Clare Hudd

Hi, this is to all member editors who have emailed me recently -- please, PLEASE don't include me in mass emails. PLEASE. I don't want to block the group, but I really strongly dislike mass mails, and hope not to be included in them in the future -- at least not on a two-or-three-times-a-week basis. Thanks in advance for your consideration.

Melissa, Join the group that you want to share your articles, after reading the different criteria, and determining which day (assuming you want "Writing Essentials") fits your needs the best. And then, to actually share your writing, go to your "My Gather" page, scroll down a little until you see your avatar (that little picture of you next to your posts), and underneath it, you have four choices of what to do. Can't remember the other three choices, but the first one is "Share." Click "Share," and then, if you still feel lost with the choices given there (for an article/post you want to click the first one), click the links for each that teaches you how to do it all.

Now, truthfully, unless you have your articles tagged for any particular exercise, so your particular day's writers can find it, you might have problems getting critiqued at first, but, it won't take long for readers to find you eventually, and hopefully some writers. Then you really want to consider how you want to be critiqued, because most won't critique at all, unless you really add how you want it behind your name, (nicely, specifically, both barrels, etc. lol), but all that stuff is one of those things everyone learns the hard way (or easy way) depending on the group and the people showing up to see your article.

And, since few actually come down to this part of this page often, you'll probably want to ask questions, when you have them, to the specific group you want to participate in, in the future. Good luck, and hope to see you around.

How do you post articles and /or stories for critiques?

There are still problems today with some accepted posts not appearing in the list. I wrote to MaryAnne Flynn again this morning. If you submitted a writing related post that does not appear, please resubmit and I'll try again to accept it. I apologize for the inconvenience.
