Thanks everyone!

I've been doing the Twenty-four hour short story contest for over a year. I did it for the fun of it, and the chance to connect with other writers. When I started it, Steem was around $5 so I was giving away $25 to the winners. @curie supported the contest for a long time, but they are not involved anymore, and I don't make enough steem back to make it profitable.

But at the moment, personal issues are keeping me from keeping a regular posting schedule as I've always done or are needed for a contest.

I've met a lot of great Steemians over the year. There are too many to list here and I would be afraid that I would miss someone.

I will still be on Steemit, but the regularity of the contest I need to put aside for awhile.

{Edit--I forgot to add @oivas post for the last contest. It was the only one that week, because I had disappeared for awhile. But check it out.}
