I love writing on the cafe.

Agreed, but how many of us are here now? Who knows... there might not be enough for each category. I hope so though!

So it seems the group is leaning more toward a limit of one piece per topic...what about different styles? Say if a person wanted to write a piece of fiction and a lovely poem about one topic? Could they forgo the other topics limiting it to a maximum of three pieces per author? What do you guys think?

I think that's fair. I think that the max should be based on submissions not topics.

I'd say one per topic regardless of what is written.

Sadly, I have to head off here for a bit. I'll definitely check back in later, though.

Me too, I have written two different articles. I just don't know what to write about. It's like everything else for me, once I am given an idea I can really start rolling, but before that I am totally stagnant. It blows.

I think I'd be ok with a limit of 3 pieces per author.

Totally. I was just in the middle of something.
I find it very helpful to have a group read over my writing drafts and give constructive criticism. The feedback is so useful, and it's even more useful to have a group who's expecting you to actually write something to share. That way it's more likely to get done.
Also, I am totally into reading other people's work and giving feedback. Writing is fun

Same here. I'll get a couple great ideas and pump out a few things, but then I end up sitting here twiddling my thumbs for a while once I run out of steam, lol

I think that's a good idea. Or maybe make it a max of two per topic, but three all together?

So shall we say three submissions max but no minimum?

Oh yeah. I have an itch to blog for the Cafe but I can't think of WHAT to write about. (I have like 4 pieces submitted that haven't published and one that has)

I might miss some of these, unfortunately 7 is my kids bed time. It seems to make all of the meetings a struggle.

We can always revisit this in later months if it proves to be either too limiting or too much.

The ones I submitted and had published were all based on Carrie Anns suggestions for what she was looking for around Thanksgiving and Christmas.I wish she would do more of those

In that case then yes, I'm all for 3 max, no minimum and we can come back and revise later if we need to
