All Entries: What I Learned From the Generosity of Others

Howdy, y’all!

Hey, how about a big ol’ round of applause (sound of big ol” round of applause) for all you wonderfully talented and no doubt fine-looking writers who joined us for this month’s group writing project: What I Learned From the Generosity of Others

We appreciate you sharing your stories (and more importantly, your lessons learned) with the rest of us. For this month, we had a total of 30 entries!

Not bad, y’all; not bad!

Now, for your edification you’ll find each and every one of ‘em listed below (in no particular order, other than it’s how I found ‘em). Do yourself a favor and check ‘em all out.

Heck, why not do something really out of the ordinary – why not drop by the authors’ blogs and start a conversation, why don’cha? You just may be glad you did!

You’re welcome, Marsha! Although it was only peripherally related to the topic, it was enough for me to include it in our list this month. Please drop by again for our next one!
# Wilson Ponon Dec 9th 2008 at 9:49 am

Well, Robert. Beside of your post, I’ve also read Joanna and Brad’s posts. By the way, I need to boil a pot of hot tea and spending my time to read on all the great posts…
# Robert Hruzekon Dec 9th 2008 at 11:58 am

Better reserve a lotta time, Wilson. You’re gonna need it!
# Jeanne Dininnion Dec 9th 2008 at 1:54 pm

Robert,

What a wonderful collection — on a fantastic topic! Wanted so badly to join in this time around, but couldn’t manage to find the time. :’( Work’s just been keeping me a bit too busy lately.

May just write my post anyway. (I seem to remember reading something in your WILF announcement post about late submissions being OK. Definitely appreciate that flexibility!)

Jeanne
# Robert Hruzekon Dec 9th 2008 at 6:54 pm

Hey, it just ain’t the same without you, Jeanne! So whenever you write it, send me the link and I’ll update the list, ‘K?

(Happy to hear you’re busy, though!)
