NEW RESOLUTIONS UNEXPECTED EVENTS

[Steve]

To add an extra note:
The votes were tight. Had another writer voted the results may have been affected.

[Christene]

Congratulations to the winning entries and all authors who submitted stories, well done thanks to a great challenge posted by Steve.

Thank-you for voting for my story this month, you really don't know how much it means to me. I had decided that I was going to stop writing this year as I didn't feel I had the spirit to continue.

Sometimes encouragement along with constructive criticism helps so much in these cases and that is why I love to comment on all who write each month.

[Steve]

Christene - Never stop! Never stop writing as you have lots to offer and are developing a really confident style. Writers Write! So please don't be put off.

[Glenda]

Congratulations to the winners. You help make this an interesting group. Please invite more writers to participate. Thanks.

[Patricia]

Thanks to all who posted stories for the January Challenge. I enjoyed reading each if them. Congratulations to the winners.

[Glenda]

Technically if you still haven't received Elaine's votes, her story is not eligible to be voted on as per the rules that you have given. But it was such a beautiful story and no money winnings are in play.

[Steve]

Glenda - just to clarify - I adopted exisitng rules. I did not introduce any new ones or made any changes. Thanks

Elaine's story was a winner in terms of what fellow writers thought.

[S.]

The February challenge is posted.

Remember it's about a 5 hour delay in the East Coa..." I get NO emails and can't remember that there are pages 1,2,3, and therefore lost track of everybody about Jan 14th - thinking there were no more comment. Guess I even missed the voting!

[Elaine]

I am so sorry. I'm not familiar with Goodreads and was not aware that any comments were made after 01-14. I never receive any email or notice from GR's, so kept looking every few days. Couldn't understand why no one commented. Did not notice pages 1,2,3. (Duh!!!) Must say, I lost track of the last few days of the month , thus today, seeing the date, started thinking. How do I vote? Oh, no! Too late. And then noticed 1,2,3 pages. Sorry folks. Any idea how to get notices from GR's when posts are made? Congrats to the Rebecca and Christine! My loss!!!!

[Shelly]

Cong to each of the winners, every one who participated really good work, and Steve for doing this months contest. We are quite a group Just as Christene couldn't quit even tho she thought she wanted to. We are writers! Such a diverse group, held together by that one thing.

[Rebecca]

Thank you for the votes!! And congrats to the winners and to everyone who posted a story. What a great month. Thank you Steve

[Steve]

Please can someone within this group make it a project to help Elaine and maybe others with a Tutorial on using Goodreads and posting messages and how to receive emails

And for example to tick the boxes at the end of these posting boxes for them to receive email updates.

I now have to get on with writing myself and I'm glad to say things are starting to move on the printing of books to use as promotional tools - as opposed to them being published.

Elaine please accept my offer of friendship on here or request mine as I would like to keep in touch with you and your beautiful writings...I tried to contact you via an email here but my message came back to me.

[Glenda]

I sent Elaine a personal email, but I saw just now that Christene posted after her in the February thread.

[Elaine]

I have friended Christene on Goodreads. Suggest She contact me via facebook or email- Elaine.Faber@mindcandymysteries.com.

I have 'ticked' the box on Goodreads about receiving emails but do not get notifications. I'll try to monitor the Feb contest thread more often to keep up with things. Will try to send in a story later this month.
