I hope everyone has had a great weekend so far, maybe even found some time to write. Just as a reminder, we have two great events coming up within the next month.

If you're not writing a holiday story, there's still time to participate in Blackout, the 2015 Winter Anthology. Now, lets recap what happened in the blog this past week!   Monday we featured a story I personally love, Confounded by A

Well time to pack away the ghosts, goblins, ghouls, and drama queens (like that will happen ).   We had a little different week here at the GA news blog for this most festive weeks of the year.   Monday saw our monthly CSR Discussion Day.
