    2026 Poetry Anthology - Choices - **Wrap-up**

    By Valkyrie

    We had twelve poems featured for this year's poetry anthology. What a perfect way to celebrate National Poetry Writing Month! A huge thank you to all who participated by writing poems, reading, reacting, commenting, and reviewing.  Participation is what keeps these events going every year, and I know myself, for one, look forward to the anthologies all year.  I couldn't coordinate the anthologies without help, so I'd like to give a shout-out to the people who make things happen behind the scenes

Weekly Wrap Up (Sept. 28 - Oct. 4)

Rain, rain, go away and come back another day   Why you ask?

I'm glad you all showed her your love   I was off to Vancouver for a week to visit with family an

Think Positive

It's super easy to get sucked into negativity, whether it's the news, social media, family, work, the weather...  I'm guilty of falling into this trap, but over the past few years I've been trying to learn how to find positives to counterbalance the negative.  Some days are definitely harder than others, that's for sure.  A dear friend of mine has been my inspiration in this journey.  They always know what to say to make me feel better, and their positive outlook on life is contagious.  We need

Looking Ahead

Now that the anthology deadline has passed, it's time to look to what's next on the GA Writing Event agenda while we wait for the anthology stories to go live.  You guys were total rock stars this year, with 23 Secret Author stories, 17 tribute stories, and 8 poetry collections.  I challenged authors to at least meet, and hopefully surpass, the number of SA stories for the anthology.  Was that goal met?  You'll have to wait till next Thursday to find out     Our next writing event will be t

Weekly Wrap Up (Sept. 21 - Sept. 27)

While Wildone is still off being his wild self... I'm bringing you the blog. I am SO not wild! My day consisted of cleaning, laundry, running errands with my daughter to Daiso for lined sticky notes (my FAV for work) a stop at the local health food store and Kroger (titled Fred Meyers) to top off my grocery shopping. I did find some delectable looking peaches... so make of that what you will!  Hopefully you all are making the most of the weekend! What are your wild and crazy plans? Are you polis
