I did lower the page minimum from 175 to 150 pages. Would it help if I pushed it down to 100 pages, Kathy?
I would rather you not make a choice about a challenge based on my input, Lanelle. Once I'm in, I'm in. I was mostly reflecting on how clever and fun the challenge is and how my resolve crumbles at the prospect of a great challenge. You're really, really good at this, Lanelle!
Mod
December tends to be a very busy time. I'm all for making challenges easier this month!

Thanks, Connie. I've forgotten how much fun Bingo! can be. I'm thinking about asking if anyone would to see the monthly challenge return. Or if having Bingo every once in a while is better.
