Good idea ron and a nice gesture.

Thank you Ron. That is a wonderful gesture, and I really appreciate it. I've been reading everything, but can't find the energy to give any actual feedback at this time. Truthfully, I have already picked the one I like best, who I want to pass the torch to. If it's okay with everyone, I'd like to pass it today, instead of Ron having to take up the burden again. Let me know. If I don't get any response, the torch will be passed at 10 pm today.

midnightpoet: Your the torchbearer so you set the rules. I offer my prayers to you and your family in this difficult time.

I'm passing the torch to belladonnis for "Inhale...Exhale.."

Exceleent: Belladonnis; do you know what to do next.

Start a new thread. Call it ThinkWrite XVI. Create a wordlist and a word count. Monitor things for a week or so. Then pick a torch bearer in the end. By tradition we don't give the torch back to whoever gave it to us (but that's not set in stone.)

On a personal note (but not a rule by any means): I've been lobbying hard to get word-counts back down to something manageable. You're free to pick any number of words (or phrases) you like and set the word count to whatever you like. But we were getting up close to 300 words and it was making for a lot of reading and not so tight writing which is, I believe, the point of this excercise.

Congratulations and get us a new list soon

Ron

midnightpoet, you made a great choice!

Belladonnis, I will be watching for your list and rules.

Write on, Dudes!

Doug

Congrats Belladonnis. Can't wait for the new word list and count! 135 was a bit tight, but even lower is fine if that's what you decide. Of course a little free-flowing story telling in a tad larger word count wouldn't be bad either. So wishy-washy Doug! Wait till I'm passed the torch. I have a special ThinkWrite planned! Look out!

I will try my best to pick some good ones, and have them out later tonight!
