Good day friends and readers. I can surely say the worst of winter has arrived. It was bone chilling here yesterday as the temperatures have felt like -40 F. Some stores and business have closed but Christmas will still go on. Same can be said of Rusty, he's closed up but our journey here at read.cash still continues.

I'm here today to give you the results on my "ber" author competition. It's was tough judging, I kind of wish I would have just done a flat rate for all. That way I could have opened it up to more as well and wouldn't have to judge articles. I put it out there and changing it on the fly would have gone against my promise and word. I'm very pleased how it turned out though, many of you got others to write articles which was one of the goals doing it.

I'm going to mention everyone that did an article and link there articles here. I received articles from 12/14 mentioned users, very good turn out. Let's get to thier articles first.

If you have the time and haven't read any of them check them out. Give them an upvote, comment, and subscribe. Now more than ever is the time to all be connected :)

Everyone is a winner

It was incredible hard picking winners. One of the reason I created a point system was to make it a little easier. It still wasn't easy, lol. I have read some of the articles 3 or 4 times. I promised I would give you something for your efforts even if you don't place and I hold true to that. Let's get to the top 3 which includes 4 individuals because I can't beat my head no more to choose between 2. Below were the rules and later I did a breakdown of how I would judge them in update article.

I don't know if I will do a competition again it's really hard being a judge. I've changed my mind a couple of times already thinking who I should select where. So I just got to do it not feeling completely sure if my choices are right. I ask just one simple thing don't judge me for being the judge. Let's all feel happy and proud of everyone who decided to be a participant. Let's reveal the top 3.

3rd place @bmjc98 & @alicecalope

2nd place @BCH_LOVER

1st place @TeacherLynlyn

I'll be stopping by your submitted article one last time to upvote your articles and give you some nice words in the comments. This will take me some time, I promise to get to each one of you once I get some free time. Congratulations to all of you and it's great to see almost all of you continuing your journey here.

Final thoughts

It was really a pleasure reading all these articles and quite a few articles that followed thier articles. I'm doing one last surprise thing this year and it will include the whole community. I won't give it away right now but it will be a celebration of 2022. It will be for those that want to remain here going foward. Look for it in the next day or two!!

Take care, be safe, and enjoy the remaining days of this year. Love you all ❀️

Don't even get me started on how awful this winter has started. But oh well. It is what it is. Not like I can do a damn thing about it but just suffer it out. But at least it is a bit warmer today and by Thursday we're supposed to reach into the 50s. I'll take that.

As for Rusty and the situation we are in? Yep. Interaction and participation is more important than ever if we want to keep this thing going, and I know I certainly do.

Same here, at least on the "attempting to make things lively." Doing what little part I can to try to keep people focused and interested and able to see there can still be a future for read, we just have to all be very actively engaged in making that happen. On all counts.
