As you all know, YWS is going to be shutting down for an unspecified duration, due to a lack of funding. It may restart again, but odds are that it will be a long time. Nate has promised to e-mail a message to all legitimate e-mail addresses when it is time for YWS to re-awaken.
While this comes as a dreadful shock to all of us, we must prepare for the shut down. Here are a few ways:
1. Copy all of your work (critiques and all) and paste it into the word processor of your choice. This way, you won't lose your work when YWS goes down.
2. Make sure your e-mail addresses are up to date. Nate will be sending the e-mail there, so it is best to make sure they are accurate.
3. Exchange e-mail addresses with friends. When YWS goes down, it will be your friends you'll miss most. Don't abandon them, but keep in contact with them. Think of it as a person you can call if you need a review.
4. Keep writing. YWS may soon be gone, but this is no excuse to stop writing. It is imperative that we keep writing. It will help support us through these difficult times ahead and when YWS does come up again, we will be ten times the better for having practiced.
