    Weekly Wrap Up (Jun. 28 - Jul. 4)

    By wildone

    Well a belated Happy 250th Birthday to our American neighbours  Someone told me @Myr came over, not on the Mayflower, but another boat and tossed tea into Boston Harbour . Seems kind of far fetched though  . So question 1 for all out Weekly Wrap Up readers, if you live in the U S of A, did you do anything special on Saturday or Saturday night. Or are you still celebrating on Sunday AM when this is posted? 250 years is quite a long time, in North American terms. Also a happy belat

Weekly Wrap Up (Mar. 29 - Apr. 4)

Psst, turn your speakers down I couldn't help to notice @Bill W status was changed to 'Barefoot' and I pictured him dancing to this song in the warm weather. Now that I got that ear worm in your head , let's move on   I'm not sure how many people have the big 3 celebrations with family, or if it just 2, or maybe only 1, but up here in Canada, it isn't necessarily based on religion, as commercialism has won out, but do you do anything for Easter? Up here, it is usua

Identity

Who am i? It’s a question i think we all ask from time to time. i've been asking that a lot recently. i’m doing some work on myself, talking with a therapist almost weekly and it’s been a really good thing. Except. i'm discovering that i’m not who i thought i was. Kind of. i’ve discovered that i really am “good enough” and that “good enough” isn’t “average” or “meh” in the way that it was in my head. “Good enough” always had a negative connotation. But it’s not really a negat

GAs Newest Promising Author: Jeff Burton

Please join myself and the Author Promotion Team in congratulating Jeff Burton as GA's newest Promising Author! @Jeff Burton has been a member here at GA for almost 20 years, but he's only been posting stories over the last few years. Despite his relative newness to writing, he has shown great skill in storytelling, and we look forward to reading more. He writes stories in a variety of genres, so I'm sure you'll find something that appeals. Encrypted, in particular, is strongly recommended.

Words for My Brother

I went to Kentucky. My brother's funeral was on Saturday, and I needed to be there for a number of reasons. Chief among them was my mother. She needed support. She needed to know she wasn't alone. She needed to know that Adam mattered. So I went. My sister and I met with Mom the morning before the funeral. It was scheduled for 10 AM, and we sat at her house with her for a couple of hours before heading to the funeral home. About a half hour before it was time to go, she looke

Who Are You?

You ever ask yourself that question?  I have been, often over the past few years. Who am I? Better would who the hell do you think you are?  For many reasons, at many times.  Maybe it's time to look at that honestly. Yeah, maybe it is.   

March CSR Discussion Day: Break the Day by dragonenthusiast

Did you read this month's featured CSR story, Break the Day, by dragonenthusiast? Share your thoughts on the story below, but first of course, is my interview with this GA author who just passed their first year mark a few months ago!  Have you ever gone out in public, realized your shirt is on backwards, and just don’t care? That actually happened to me just last week. I was sitting at my PC working and then realized something was scratching me on my collarbone, found the shirt tag, a

Weekly Wrap Up (Mar. 22 - Mar. 28)

I am exhausted   If anyone has worked with software for the entire workplace, I'm sure all I need to say is SAP upgrade, and you will know my pain. My company had 5 different buckets or regions and we are working towards 1. This means teams and teams of people all verifying data, processes and other such stuff region by region until their live date. Me included nationally. I start early, leave late and even today I woke up at stupid 5 AM when I didn't have work today. Tomorrow I do, so

Childhood Heroes

Do you have one? Or two? Mine is too cringeworthy to tell...   PT Prompt #333   You or your main character are/is invited to a motto party. The motto: Childhood heroes. Who is their childhood hero? Is it difficult to create the costume? What’s the reason for the party? Write their story in as many words as you need, but do not just answer the questions; just saying.... PT Prompt #334   It’s a wedding party, not necessarily the protagonist’s. A relative en
