Day 6 brought to you by Marianne
The Over 20 Club
What is this Over 20 Club? Do we have to be older than 20 to write here?
That, for many of us, is easy. But that is not what that means.
The Over 20 Club came out of our 100 Day of Freewrite Celebration. Here is the original introduction.
The Over 20 Club
To start off the next 100 days of this freewriting journey right, we thought it a good idea to keep looking back a little bit.
Let me explain.
When we first started, just a few people were writing every day. And many of us were little tiny redfish or fairly small minnows. You know that means that our combined voting power was pretty low.
Many of the early freewrites had hardly any payout at all. Still, so many of you stuck with it and kept on writing. Thank you for that!!!
The Over 20 Club is a way to allow some of those long forgotten pieces to shine again and give the authors a way to get a bit of a payout.
Here is how it works:
I have a list of writers who have written at least 20 freewrites.
Every Monday, I will invite 5 authors to write a post showing us 3 or more freewrites they liked and are past their payout.
The writers have until Thursday evening to post their showcase post.
Several of us have committed to giving that post a 100% upvote.
Friday's prompt will have links to the showcase prompts and hopefully, many of you will give it an upvote as well.
It is up to the writers and the voters to participate - you are free to choose.
We had quite a few wonderful entries. This is a link a post with the first five responses.
And there were many more. If you search Over 20 Club you can read many of them.
The New Over 20 Club
Since we now have the Freewrite House, it only makes sense that the Over 20 Club gets to move into one of the rooms. Once we have introduced all our crazy ideas to you all, we are starting to put them all into practice - but no all at once.
The Over 20 Club will remain much the same - you are invited to submit a post showcasing some of your favorite freewrites and telling us as much or as little as you want about your freewrite story.
We, the Freewrite House, and hopefully many of you who are living with us now, will bombard the posts with the highest votes we can muster.
But, it will not come your way once a week. Maybe once a month, maybe every other week. We shall see. we don't want you all to get overwhelmed.
In a minute, I am adding the rules of our contest. You know those by now, right? First, we want to ask you a question. What would you like to see? One person nominated once a week? Or several nominated at a less frequent interval?
Share your thoughts and your ideas. Your input is highly appreciated!!!
