July/August News

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

Hello Cafe Writers.
First, thank you all for your continued participation. I may not have been commenting lately, but I read every post you make, and you’re all brilliant.
Second, July and August will be another dual entry - look for prompts on to appear by Sunday.
I’m going to be away for a good part [...]

Not Forgotten

Friday, May 9th, 2008

Dear Cafe Writers.
I’m so sorry - I haven’t forgotten about you, have just been dealing with work craziness and prepping the house for the arrival of my parents (who got here at midnight), because even though I’m over thirty, my mother still has the power to make me feel inadequate if things aren’t perfect.
I’ll be [...]

A Note…

Saturday, April 5th, 2008

…or two.
Note the First:

Sneaky April

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

Despite the fact that I do own a calendar, April snuck up on me.
The March participant wrapup will go up tonight or tomorrow.
The April prompts will be up by Saturday morning.
Thank you for your patience.

March Project is NOT closed.

Friday, March 14th, 2008

I apologize for confusing you.
I’m not closing the project early.
Instead, I’m posting your links in separate posts every week-to-ten-days so that instead of one big link post that is updated often, there are several smaller ones throughout the month.
(And you can comment on any March entry. I’ll find it. Promise.)

February and March

Sunday, March 2nd, 2008

Hey all.
First, my husband and I are both suffering from a major upper respiratory thing. For me, it hit on Monday, and isn’t improving very quickly. That would be why I have taken so long to get the last February links up.
Second: I’m not going to post March prompts until Monday or so.
Third: [...]

February Prompts and A Response

Friday, February 1st, 2008

First, February prompts will go up either late today or first thing Saturday morning. I’m working on my last piece for work, and it’s very detailed and technical.
Second, I wanted to respond to a comment from Gautami, who has been lovely about “advertising” CafeWriting.

Query.

Friday, January 18th, 2008

Folks -
What would you all think of a forum (phpbb) attached to this site for the purpose of discussing each others work and fostering community, or just offering writing inspiration and support? Yes? No? Maybe?
Let me know by commenting here.
