We're Almost Ready

Hi All,

We had a land slide vote for option B in the poll.

"We challenge ourselves to write one or two pieces per month, choosing from a preformed list of composition types, with the goal to write two pieces of each type within the year."

I realized though, that in writing option B for the poll, I didn't make it clear whether or not we were each choosing for ourselves each month from the preformed list or if we were going to choose two composition styles for all of us each month. I think I always took it to mean we would choose for ourselves. What about you all? What do you prefer? Comments?

All of you who are now signed on to the blog as authors can also add to the list of composition types. Please do. I'll add some as well. We need 24 types, so there is a lot of room for creativity here. Once we've got the list of composition types, and we've established how we are choosing from that list each month, we should be ready to start. I'm so excited. We only need Johnna and Meghan to sign up as authors. The rest of us are ready to go.

Please don't be shy about making comments. It's lonely in cyberspace without them!

Let's Begin!

Hello Ladies,

Welcome to our blog. Please look around and let me know what you think. You all should have received an invitation to be co-authors. Also, you should all receive an email any time there is a post made to this blog. Let me know if that is happening.

Please take time to vote on the format for our writing group. We had several good ideas, all building on each other. Now we need to choose a final format.

Also, notice the lists of books being read and favorite books started on the right hand side of the blog. I'm hoping that as co-authors, you will all be able to edit layout and add to these lists. Please let me know if you can do that.

Now we just wait for the all the votes to be cast!
