OFFICIAL GROUP UPDATE #1:

We now have 15 members!! Yay! Once we have 20 members, I'll take a poll asking if we should do group reads. So, invite your friends!!
I'd also like to welcome all of our new members. Please make yourselves at home!!
Also, if you haven't checked it out, we have a bookshelf of Books by Members. Make sure you take a look at what our talented members have written!!

OFFICIAL GROUP UPDATE #2:

Do you think we should have writing contests? Would you participate if we did? Please vote on the Polls.
Also, we are still small, so we'd love it if you invited your friends, and please be active! Feel free to add games. If you are unsure about anything you can read the group guidelines (Welcome!!!), or ask any questions.

OFFICIAL GROUP UPDATE #3

Only five days left to RSVP to the contest Event!! It would be great if you could RSVP whether you're doing it or not, so we have an idea of how many people are participating.
Also, we have a Newsletter folder, so if you are new, or didn't receive the newsletters for some reason, you can find them there.

**OFFICIAL GROUP UPDATE #5**

I just want to make sure everyone knows that creating topics is quite alright, but please run it by Lena or me before you create it, just so that we know what will be created. Thank you!

The RSVP date for the writing contest is coming up! Please let us know whether or not you'll be participating. It would be very helpful for us to know who will be doing the contest.

As always, happy writing and have a great week!

Today is the last day to vote on the poll deciding if we should do group reads. If you haven't voted yet, please make sure you do that before the poll closes!

Also, if you are participating in the writing contest for October and November, you can post your entry in the October-November 2014 Contest folder. For more details on how to do this, check out the contest guidelines. You have until the 30th of November to submit, but the sooner you get it to us, the better. Happy writing!

OFFICIAL GROUP UPDATE #13

There will not be a February group read unless someone volunteers to lead it. So if you're interested, please let us know by the 15th!


message 18: by Melody (new)

Melody Jackson (melodyjacksonauthor) | 51 comments Um, I would lead it, but I don't know what book we'd be doing, or how any of it works, haha. :p

Lena (lenakarynn) | 1526 comments Mod
Thank you, Melody! There are more details in the volunteer thread (https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...), but basically, it would involve coming up with a few questions (they can be very general, such as 'who's your favorite character?' etc.) and keeping the discussion going. You can check out our January discussion (https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...) for more ideas. Please let me know if this is something you'd like to do, or if you have more questions.
Alternatively, you could volunteer for a different month. I wasn't really on the ball this month, but I think after this we'll have nominations first, which will just carry over to the next month if no one volunteers.

We're still looking for more moderator applications, so if anyone is interested, please apply soon!
Also, you are all welcome to volunteer to lead group read discussions for any month. We still need someone to commit for February, or else it will be skipped.

Hi everyone,
Some of you might already know this, but Lena is feeling that God is calling her to spend more time off the internet/Goodreads. She will not be on here very often anymore. Please pray for her that she is able to do that!

Because of that, we will need another mod (and possibly two), especially as this group grows. I know some of you submitted your "mod forms" to us, so if there is anyone still interested, please inform me by email or in the "new mod" forum.

Thank you! Everyone have a great week!
