The First Year Club

A Thank You Message from Robert McEvily

Wow. September 1st, already. If your writing has appeared on this site prior to this message (or if you currently have a piece scheduled for publication), you’re officially part of the 6S First Year Club, and that means you’re officially special to me. Six Sentences began on this date last year ('06, appropriately), so no matter how long the site continues, you’ll always be one of the “originals,” one of the First Year Club, one of the people who found the site early, saw something in it you liked, and decided (generously) to share your time and talent. Everyone in the First Year Club means a lot to me, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t call special attention to a select few: Madam Z, for her singular jazziness (and for being the very first person to sign up for the 6S Newsletter); Kimi Goodrich, whose coolness made the site seem cool and helped it grow; Rod Drake, for consistently chilling our bones with style and wit; Louise Yeiser, for her graciousness, generosity and encouragement; Peter Wild, for his wild (pun intended) imagination and British flair; Quin, for her honesty and courage; and Harry B. Sanderford, for being my (and everyone’s) favorite surfing cowboy. And now, to each and every one of my fellow 6Sers – Thank You & Happy Anniversary!
