Paradigm Shift Ambassadors Forum Thank you, mobsters!

First, kudos to MA for the concept behind this group. I don't know many of you but the writers in this group I do know are not egomaniacs or hoping for gushingly positive reviews. That is as it should be. So thank you, Marie. The reviews I received were well thought out, instructive, restrained. Thank you for mobbing me today. Now, who's next? Linda

Well, I have a question for the group- how often do we want to do this thing?  I had thought, to avoid overload, that once a month would be ideal. BUT... there seems to be a lot of enthusiasm for sharing the work of others. I think I could manage to selcet a fine peice once every 2-3 weeks, but that is dependent on what the group would tolerate.  Thoughts? And, LJ, you are VERY wlecome. It was an honor and pleasure to promote your work like this, and it gave me a thrill to see your name in the top writers today. No, depsite all the accusations that have been leveled against me, we are NOT the type to look for vapid reviews. You got good honest feedback form discerning writers of all ages and stages of writing, and that was wonderful to see.  So yes, great work everyone! and... do not feel obligated to wait to see who the next feautured writer will be, to check out some of the works suggested. ALL of them have merit. I am looking mostly for works with <150 views and <12-15 reviews, to be impartial. So, keep the suggestions coming.     

It was a pleasure. It's nice to see this kind of cooperative work. It's only sad that this kind if thing isn't commonplace.

every two weeks?

I say once a week.....every weekend.

once a week is cool. or twice a month at the least. there's a lot of stuff out there that is borderline poetry at best that's getting all kinds of praise from somewhere. i read one poem that had just been posted today and it was okay work but i guess they had a lot of friends because it had been viewed almost 280 times already!

we get discouraged sometimes, but I know that we really can make a difference!

I'd be okay with once a week :)

I'm up for once a week. Even though I am regularly busy because I am too goddanged important in my job (and to my wife, also), I can always spare five mins for such an excellent cause.

Can I take it that the mobbing worked? I didn't see the Top Writing box on time.

I saw LJW's name in that box throughout the day :) People came to her page to see what was going on, I call it a success.

Indeed, I call it a success as well. Made me proud to see her name there!!!

280 times......there are many (too many) writers here you constantly read and review each others work. Unfortunately, a lot of that work is blatantly substandard....grammar mistakes, tense mistakes, forced rhyming, trite/nothing original....but they band together like a bunch of sorority brothers and sisters, giving nothing but glowing reviews. Many of them show up as top writers/ reviewers. It is what it is, but I have no problem pointing it out. Their work is laughably bad but they believe it's good because of mob rule, I suppose.
