Likewise, if you ever just want to discuss writing or anything else, feel free to email me.<br /><br />I actually do not have any clear ideas accept possibly doing emails back and forth. Perhaps someone could propose short writing exercises, and those who were in the group could work on the exercises. Then, a time could be designated, (maybe once a month), for people to email their work to the group members and receive feedback. Just ideas.

Did you have any ideas on how to make it with several people involved?

So, look for writing opportunities, (or any type of creative opportunities), and take the plunge. Each time you do, your craft will be enhanced, and you will grow. I think it would be fun if some of us could form a kind of writing group to get feedback from each other. Nothing belittling, but a nice, informal way to receive constructive feedback. Anyone else up for it? Mind you, other people might be in groups of this sort. I'm always a step behind on things. I've ben reading a writer's guide that had that suggestion in it, and I thought it was a good one. And, AHEM! it might give me a chance to read some of the phenomenal stories that so many talented writers create. Purely selfish motivation, you understand. LOL!

I'm not even one of the writers and it just blessed my heart. You are right. It does take a lot of courage to submit one's work, and to do so again. So keep it up everyone. Press the submit button; put a stamp on the envelope and drop it in the box, and see what God may do!

So excited for you! I always love your fan fiction and am so intrigued by your take on Cinderella. The teaser already has me salivating.<br /><br />To know that the goal of submissions far exceeded expectations is absolutely phenomenal! In my opinion, it takes great courage to put your work out there. When you do, you know that you are utilizing your talents. That is what matters, for that is what God desires. We are all winners because we love stories and are willing to tell them. So, so exciting! Thank you once again, Mrs. Anne Elisabeth, for such a wonderful contest. Now I'm looking forward to revising my Cinderella stories (already have ideas for one of them), and for the next contest.Meredithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102067376746188002.post-77179675135875552702014-02-01T16:18:38.268-05:002014-02-01T16:18:38.268-05:00Congrats every body!Congrats every body!Bookishqueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04815467506294547118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102067376746188002.post-18353522406106498362014-02-01T13:54:22.917-05:002014-02-01T13:54:22.917-05:00Congrats to all the winners!

Just not certain how people would react, and we don't want writers to take the number as discouragement (one way or the other) for whether or not to try for the next contest.
