Pub Chatter (2nd Edition)

Finding the Pot of Gold - February 17, 2017

Hello Pubbers!!

Welcome to this week's meeting of the Poets Pub. I hope everyone had an awesome Valentine's Day filled with love and family. We have had a bit of a slow week here at the Pub, but we have some exciting new things in store for you all.

We do have quite a few new members so I would like to take this time to encourage all of our new members to add this book to your private reading list so that you will receive our weekly newsletter and stay up to date on everything happing at the Pub. I would also like to direct you to our book:

Behind the Bar

It has introductions to the admins of the Pub as well as all of our rules and regulations.

So if everyone has their drinks in hand, they are always on the house of course, and found a comfy place to sit, we will get started with announcements.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Poem-A-Day –

We have posted quite a few new Poem-A-Day entries this week, if you haven't checked them out you can find them here.

Poem A Day Challenge - 2017

You can join the Poem-A-Day challenge anytime. All you have to do is be a member of the Pub (follow us), send us a private message that you would like to join, add the hashtag #PPpoem-a-day to the book you are using and then start writing a poem a day. We also ask that once a week you send us one of the poems from your poem-a-day book to be added to the Pub collection. We also have a sticker that you can use to proudly display your participation in this challenge.

For those of you who have already accepted this challenge I want to give you some encouragement. I know that life comes along and interrupts our best laid plans. If you have gotten behind in writing, don't worry about trying to catch up just continue from where you are and keep writing. You can do it!!

Members Drive –

Our members drive is going very well. We now have over 5.6k members!! Great job everyone!! Keep inviting new friends to join the Pub. Our goal is to make this the biggest and best poetry group on Wattpad!! What do you say Pubbers, let's go for it!!

Pubber Interviews –

This week I posted our interview with our 2016 Pubber of the Year RichardHigley and today I posted the interviews with our 2016 Pubber of the Year runners up, Andrewagreen and AmbergrisJane. They are both exceptional poets and we are tremendously lucky to have them as members of the Pub. Look for next week's interview, which will be with MichaelTyger our January 2017 contest winner.
