November Is A Great Month
Excitement is in the air
Competitions
Let’s start on a positive note, then keep it positive, and finish off positive!
Congratulations to the winner of the October competition. It was great to see so many entries and some worthy winners. I love to run these but find it so hard to narrow the stories down to just three.
That is a credit to your writing skills, and I do appreciate every entry.
We have launched a November Competition based on your favourite Medium writer. I thought this would be a bit of a twist; it is also nice for people to hear that you like their work.
I am trying to build a positive community of writers, the world can be challenging, so it is nice to have a positive bubble to escape.
We have another competition that is about to be launched today. So, yes, two competitions for November will be one for the poets out there. But, again, there is a twist, so I hope I have not made it too hard to compete.
I want to try this one myself, although I will not be entitled to win it, so my entry will be just for fun.
Statistics
Well, we are heading back in the right direction after a funny blip last month. Thank you for sticking with us. We are growing each month, as you can see from this chart.
Followers
I am over the moon to share with you we now have 1,563 followers, which is another significant growth spurt, so in the last week, we have gained an extra 150 people. Thank you so much.
Editor Required
It has been pleasing to see many people putting themselves forward to become an editor for New Writers Welcome. I have stayed away from looking at the people who have entered at this stage, as I want to give everyone a fair chance.
Can I say that even if you are not selected this time around, I will look for more editors in the future, as we grow, I will continue to need help.
The deadline for this is Monday 15th of November, so you have just over a week if you still would like to apply.
Quote of the week
I believe in karma, and I believe if you put out positive vibes to everybody, that’s all you’re going to get back. Share this Quote
