Hi UWOL 4, I'm now officially unofficially in! at DVinfo.net

Hi everyone:

I missed the sign up deadline but have gotten the green light to submit a piece that won't be judged anyway. That's okay! The feedback comments are the best. To me, winning is to not get the same critical (as in negative) feedback on any two entries. This implies that you are really working to change bad habits and succeeding. And so far, I'm winning at this :o).

Kris-- welcome to UWOL, it's really fun. And congratulations that you feel that the water theme is a perfect fit for you. I actually think this will be the hardest for me to pull off and will be very challenging. We are all going to slap up water films, but how in the world does one make it creative, unique and intersting??? So far, I'm getting high marks for creativity in my entries, but this one is really going to put me to the test.

Thanks to you Meryem! Always a gracious host with lots of mercy for the ones who screw up a bit along the way!

And also thanks to Tronde who is the shepherd of the UWOL flock who brings us back into the fold when we've gone astray!

Cheers!

Cat

when you make a commitment to our UWOL community, we're more than happy to return the favor....

It feels more like the UWOL Family to me than a community.

I haven't met anyone from UWOL yet but I feel I have allot of friends here.

Yes, I agree on this one. I also think about the UWOL members as friends.
And the UWOL Family Reunion plans sounds great. Hope we can make that happen sometime. Always nice to meet other people with the same interests.

Catherine, glad you can be officially unofficially in. Next time you have to make it completely officially!!

Now I'm off to the think tank to try to find out how to make a story out of "water". Not as easy as I thought. So Meryem chose a great, challenging theme.
