Weekly Wrap Up (Dec. 15 - Dec. 21)

So did you celebrate the start of the Winter, or summer, with the solstice yesterday? Did you go to Stonehenge? Maybe you celebrated Soyal, Yalda, Saturnalia, Midwinter, St. Lucia’s Day or Dong Zhi? No matter what you celebrated or where you celebrated it, the days shall get shorter or longer. Me being in the longer side of things, I'm really looking forward to it. This dark from 4:30 pm to 8:30 am can be tiring  But turn that frown upside down, cause if you live in Alaska or places North, you a

2024 Events Recap

We had a busy year here at GA, with five different events for site authors and poets to participate in.  While we wish some of them hadn't been necessary, such as Carlos' tribute, the participation from readers and writers across all events was fantastic.  While we're busy working behind the scenes on next year's slate of events, I thought it would be nice to recap what happened in 2024.     We started out the year honoring a man who was a formidable presence on GA.  His loss is still

Weekly Wrap Up (Dec. 8 - Dec. 14)

So who is counting days?  Only 10 days to the start of Chanukah!!!   Oh. Looking at my calendar it appears that is the same day that is Christmas  this year. If I missed a holiday, let me know. I will put in a mention for Festivus as it seems to have made it onto the North American calendar too! Once again, I apologize if you are not into the whole seasonal talk. You can skip down to the recap  if you want. I will be tackling another Christmas topic now. Last week we tal

Unseen Impact

We all impact others' lives on a daily basis, whether we know it or not.  I think this is especially true as writers sharing our works with the rest of the world.  Unless a reader comments or messages us, the impact we make is generally unseen.  I used to teach therapeutic horseback riding to a group of kids from the Big Brother/Big Sister program.  These kids had a lot of disadvantages in life, but they absolutely loved their experiences with the horses.  It was a large group of kids, so we spl

Upcoming Tributes

The deadline to participate in our second tribute to Carlos Hazday is fast approaching.  I have created the threads for discussion and to paste the links to submissions.  They can be found in the Writer's Circle: Carlos' stories continue to inspire readers; even those who didn't have the pleasure of knowing him.  So, consider participating if Carlos' work has sparked inspiration, no matter how tangential.   I have updated Comicality's tribute blog and will create the threads for that
