I have mistletoe hanging over the archway going into my living room but the ladies are afraid to stand under it, they know Big Daddy will smother them with his Big Daddy Hugs and kisses. Anyway pour yourself a drink and we'll toast to a merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year.

Christmas is nearly upon us, what a great year it has been, so much love shown in Poet's words. We created an inside world of great imaginary wonderment and we all became friends in a fellowship of light that quenched all our desires. Today I am so thankful for this beautiful project filled with acquaintance's absolute song. I feel so brilliantly worthy to belong in its grand standing of endearment, love always Wennie xxxhugs P.S. Merry Christmas to all...

Hi! BDC, WOW! Why are we all so blessed...so many lovely people on our project, leaving great gifts of words under our poems...it already feels like Christmas to me. James dropped into our project tonight with kind presence...he has been our friend from day one on WEbook, DaddyCash and his loyalty is still ours to own. It seems like we have been on one great pilgrimage journey this year and matured into everyones greatness. It feels like I have been given the greatest gift of joy in the entire world, love you all my WEbook friends, love you BDC, thankyou for all your hard work this year, keeping us in a close circle of togetherness, love Wennie xxxhugs P.S. you just rock your heart out for everyone

It is really important that you know what is going on in our project so please read the top three entries on the menu, then leave a comment so I know that you’ve been there. I want to explain about random submissions. After we have reached our quota the submissions will run randomly you can keep on submitting as much as you like but after 15 I’ll remove them and save them to replace when the menu reads Random Writings. It is really not that complicated, it’s just my way of doing it. It’s more complicated for me to keep on explaining it.
11/27/2008 6:26 PM PST
:) I'll miss you all, when I get back, I expect to see lots of submissions here for me to read...
Byee~ I wish you all the best of luck, and may we meet again.

BDC - I was a little unsure what you're wanting to do with the numbering system of the submissions. I was unsure of if it is pre-assigned or... Anyway, I put my entries in without numbers. let me know what the story is and I can ammend the titles accordingly.

You are right and I did change the ruling to as much or as little as you feel comfortable with.
11/24/2008 8:56 AM PST
As a chatterbox, in writing form anyway, I always go long- you will find even this post ends up long, but I think 100 words might be better. It does put the focus more on the writing itself that way; 100 words with the other information you ask for is like a back cover bio you would normally get on a writer. Poem anthologies I find do tend to have a two paragraph introduction to each poet, maybe 3. I tried to make my bio on project one so long no one would read it, but I failed. I think people will find out just as much with a shorter bio because they won't skim through it.

I thought it would be fun to be Santa for the holidays but I look like what a young lady submitted awhile back. A senile old reprobate having an aneurysm wearing dumb shades. Ha Ha… maybe not the exact words but close enough to clatter my rafters. Nothing personal Christina, I think you were very astute in your observation. It certainly made me take a good look at myself. Forgive me for mentioning it…

Tom, This is a continuation of the book we just finished so I would like new material. However take a look at the way I have submitted some of my poems one or two were submitted in the last book separately, other then that what I have submitted here is new or at least different. I’d like everybody to look through my submissions and leave comments. I did them so quickly to use as an example that I may have to remove some or all, what ever!
11/24/2008 6:42 AM PST
BDC, do you want all new work or is it okay to submit articles and poems submitted on the last project?

11/24/2008 4:27 AM PST
hm.. I think the whole idea of limiting authors, and the amount of submissions is a good idea so then we dont have too many to go through, while there still being a good amount.
good idea :)

In case you think I have fallen off the rocker you are probably right. I have been changing titles trying to get a URL for the project. The webook administrator left a note that the title we had was not modifiable and I have been trying to make it modifiable. This is just one of those nights.

Let me try to explain my last comment. I want to organize the writers best 15 submissions under their profile. I'll do this with the first 20 or 25 authors and index them that way. The last entry on the index will be called Random Poems and Stories. This give you the chance to submit all that you want.
11/23/2008 10:29 PM PST
Jeff if you know good writers invite them but wait until our present writers have had a chance to submit. I'd like to limit the writers but I'm looking for feedback on that issue. I also want to limit submissions to 15 for the index and later we can run wild.
I'll have to explain that in detail later. Primarily the book will be in two parts, one that is index and one that is random. Sound complicated? Really it is not.

Jeffrey I like your style, I figure that what ever style fits your mood is the style you should use. My style is My Way the only way I know. As far as font I like 19 for the main material and 24 or 32 for titles. I think the way your work is presented is very important. If you have read any of my submissions you'll see I use pictures to highlight my presentations.
11/23/2008 9:54 PM PST
As I asked before, I wonder exactly what you mean by Writing Style (font? Size? etc.). Also, can we include photos with our poems, and how many people should we invite?

I just sent you a message Michelle, you must have ESP because you answered my question before you had a chance to get it. You are right I'll send out a project invite.
11/23/2008 9:41 PM PST
BDCash.....when I typed in the title for this under projects I just added 2, not Book 2, and nothing matched. I then went to your profile and found the book and arrived here in that route......am guessing other's may have done the same. We may possibly need to send them a request to join so they will have this added to their projects. M.

I'm getting all kinds of responses in my message box but for some reason I haven't been able to get any responses here. If somebody sees this please help me. The requests for a group discussion on this page worked in book one. What am I doing wrong?
11/23/2008 7:05 PM PST
As you notice in the directory I have made 15 submissions, I have done this for a purpose. That is why I have added rule # 7. My thoughts on this is to limit the number of submissions to 15 and limit the authors to 25. I know we will pass these limits but the index will only show what you think are the best 15 postings that you have made. You can select your own or we can vote on them. I have given this a lot of thought and I think it will work but I’m open to your ideas. Arranging the poems and the stories is time consuming and difficult but I’m willing to do it if it makes our book better.
11/23/2008 5:53 PM PST
Before I open this book for submissions I'd like to have a meeting of the minds like we did on book one. I'd like to open the discussion by getting your input on #1 on the directory, Rules & Profile.
11/23/2008 5:39 PM PST
I can't wait for this to be open... Writing the last one was alot of fun, and it was great working with everyone.
