RE: Creative Nonfiction in The Ink Well: Prompt #22

in The Ink Well • 2 years ago


I have learned a lot from you, to be honest, you have taught me to write all this.
I respect you from my heart, whenever you will be the admin of any other community, you will find me with you there.
with great respect.
Thanks for every thing.@jayna Madam, actually I myself am sad to leave the community, but in the last 2-3 months I am seeing a huge change in the community activities, no old writer is getting attention, and new writers are being rewarded heavily.

    Thanks @fantom22. I don't want to have a long conversation with you here about this, but I will let you know that I disagree completely with your assessment of how the community has changed. What has changed is that we have grown, and the quality of the work has increased. This has been a magical and wonderful transformation that we feel reflects our work as a community to help writers improve their craft.

    Each time we put up a new prompt, we select the best stories we can find, and we try to reward different people each week so that everyone who is putting in a lot of time and effort on their posts and engaging in the community gets a chance at winning.

    We are not focused only on new writers. You are entitled to your opinion, but it does not reflect the reality or focus in The Ink Well.

    I took a glance at your posts. You have consistently been curated and rewarded in The Ink Well based on the increasing quality of your work, far above what you earn in freewriters. Are you leaving that community too?

    We do not get to every single post, as you know. And we often don't get to posts right away. We are trying to improve our processes, as we sometimes don't get to every post written for the prompt before the new one is posted. That is a problem we want to fix.

    Again, good luck and best wishes. I wanted to give you some more background on our side so you understand that you have not been ignored or left out, despite your view of what has transpired.
