🌻

Hi everyone! This is Amal, former admin of the Sunflower Writing Circle. Aura and I will alternate between making the blooms, and I hope the merger has been smooth for everyone!

Kindly read all the announcements carefully.

Last week we had our trial run with merging the book club and writing circle, and if anything is still confusing, feel free to reach out and read the chapters "How it Works" and "Comments."

We still have a comment checker position open, so if interested, please PM the account.

As explained in the last bloom, we're introducing Bloom Bonuses, questions that focus on specific topics you can comment on that you can use to leave better feedback on your partner's book. It is not required to do, but keep in mind the better your comments are, the more likely you are to be selected as the next BotM (doesn't mean you need to do the Bloom Bonus to be BotM, just means the questions can help you comment better).

Bloom Bonus: POV, What type of POV did the author use? How did it affect the story?

If you're having trouble understanding some of our terminologies, you can visit the "Glossary" chapter of this book.

PM us with any questions.

🌻 Permanent Pairings 🌻

Like your partner's story or the feedback they gave you? Why not become permanent pairs? You can grow as readers and writers together and share feedback each bloom. When it's time for the bloom each week, you can be paired with this same person. To do this, ask them if they are interested. If they are, PM the SunflowerCommunity  account and let us know you're both interested.

🌻 Sunflower Blooms 🌻

This is where Sunflower members (both Standard Sunflowers and Advanced Sunflowers), who are not on extension, hiatus, in a permanent pair and have completed all previous assignments go. Please note you only have to read two chapters of the story you are assigned and comment on both. If you are in a pairing of 3, you only have to read ONE chapter of each book you're paired with (two total). Comment "done" here along with the chapters you read once you're done. Failure to do so might result in a strike. If you are with someone whose title says "Reader Only," they read two chapters of your book, but you don't have any to read of theirs in return. Please still comment "done reader only" once you've seen that you're with a reader only.

🌻 Standard Sunflowers 🌻

Standard Sunflowers are expected to leave at least seven in-line comments and a final comment (1-2 sentences long) or one 5+ line final comment in their partner's book. If you are a Standrad Sunflower, you will only be paired with other Standard Sunflowers. If you've been in the club for more than three weeks already, and you're interested to be an Advanced Sunflower, Please PM the SunflowerCommunity account. For newer members who haven't been here that long and wish to be moved to the Advanced Sunflowers, your feedback on your weekly assignments will be evaluated for three consecutive weeks before we decide on it.
