Anyone can post news that is happening that concerns writing, or this group in general in this topic! Don't be shy :)
8-17-16 News: The group now has 20 members! Thank you to those who are active and support the other citizens! If everyone invites a friend, we could grow dramatically.

9-1-16 News: This is for all of you who have a Wattpad account! I've created a reading list on Wattpad compromising of all of Writingtowne's members' works (called Writingtowne Reads). My Wattpad account is: Stephanie_Avery if you'd like to check out the list! If you're a part of Wattpad but your story isn't on the reading list, message me and I'll add it on :)

9-11-16 News:
There comes a time when a mayor has to step down and let someone new take their place. Unfortunately, I am doing that today.
When I signed up for goodreads, it brought me a lot of joy, but that sparkle I had in the beginning is no longer with me. I am finding myself being tied up with other things and my life will no longer have the ability to stay with goodreads.
I will still stick with writing and I hope you all will too. Everyone here has been so kind and friendly and active, so I deeply apologize to you for leaving. I understand if you are angry.
I now will leave this group to the moderators and the citizens. Elect a new mayor, build up the infrastructure, and most importantly- never stop writing.
Signing off,
Mayor Pie.

Goodbye! And farewell.
Please join again if you ever create another goodreads account.


message 16: by Laura (new)

Laura Guilbault We will all miss you Pie!

9-15-16 This group seems to be dormant! That is why I am looking for a MOD who will be constantly active. If you decide you are, please post in the MOD request topic.
On another note, the poll for the weekly prompt challenge has finally been posted! Will the winner be Laura or Eli? Go vote now !

Unfortunately, as Pie did, I've lost the magic, motivation, to go onto Goodreads everyday and monitor this amazing group.
Writingtowne was so incredibly active before, bustling with different townsfolk, all so eager to write and share together. There was Need for a mayor before, and now their is nobody to help.
Now people are moving out, and ignoring each other. The once sunshine-filled days are now gloomy and cloud-filled. What has happened? Has everybody lost their sparkle? What is holding this group together?
We have to bring it back, everyone! Which is why, starting September 30th, you will be required to be generally active, or be kicked.
Of course, you may email or message the MODs if you have a serious reason you cannot come on, but understand that, without its people, a town isn't a town anymore.

I'm leaving...I don't have any motivation to keep coming on goodreads anymore. Writingtowne was amazing before. You can bring it back. I ask you to revive it.
I don't know what to say...but all of you have been so kind and nice to me since I've arrived and since I've become a MOD. Thank you everybody :) But everyone has a time to go. I'm sorry for leaving.
And, even if you leave too, keep writing, just as Mayor Pie said.
Goodbye! I wish you the best of luck,
Stephanie Avery
