    Weekly Wrap Up (Oct. 11 - Oct. 17)

    By wildone

    I may be dating myself (not like that, geez ), but back in the days of Johnny Carson hosting the Tonight Show, Ed McMahon would always start the show off with, "Herrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre's Johnny," for an introduction. I may or may not have used AI to help recreate this  Okay, I totally did  Can't use the actual likeness of Ed McMahon though .  I just wanted to resurrect the famous line to let everyone know that Annual GA Anthology has started   In case you have been out of the  countr

Spring ahead

Soon we will switch to summertime/daylight saving time and have to get up one hour earlier. There are those people who love it; they jump out of bed with a bright smile. And then there’s me, my dragon, the cats, and the dog, who start the day more or less sleepwalking. What about you?   This time, we will write about the problems the switch causes. PT Prompt #329   Every clock adjusts itself to the right time. Every clock? No, the one your protagonist always uses s

A (little) Secret That Has Never Been Told

As a writer, I love hidden meanings. As a reader, I love them even more - particularly when I stumble on them myself. So, it was with great joy that I inserted one into one of my stories. Once someone sees it, they'll KNOW. No guessing required. It'll be that obvious once discovered. It wasn't hard to do, but apparently it was (is!) hard to detect. It has been years now, and no one has found it. Or, if they have, they've yet to comment on it. So my question is: have you done somet

Poetry Fun

April is National Poetry Writing Month (NaPoWriMo), which is why we feature the poetry anthology then.  The goal of NaPoWriMo is to write 30 poems in 30 days.  I've completed this task several times, generally using daily poetry prompts.  I thought I'd feature a couple of my favorite prompts to see what others come up with.  Maybe it will be something to use in the anthology.      PT Prompt #327: Write a series of short stanzas that personify adjectives or abstract noun

February 2026 CSR Discussion Day: Spring and a Ring by Grizz

Did you read this month's CSR story? I love a good country story, as I grew up on and around farms, horses, cattle, sheep, and can spot who wears their boots in the saddle versus who wears their boots to be fancy (and yes, we did make fun of those visitors at fair!). I love asking what's something personal about you that people might be surprised to know and getting all sorts of answers to my interview questions to share with GA members about our authors, and getting to read more about a fellow
