Well, well, well. Shall we wrap this week up like a pig in a blanket .
So question for all of you, have you partaken in any of the great first releases of the GA 20th Anniversary Anthology? How many have you read, 1, 2, or all of them? What do you think so far?
I've personally had a busy week, as on Thursday night I was going to get into bed with my iPad and start reading. Much to my surprise out my condo's bedroom window 😮
Okay Steve, that is an excuse for Thursday night.
Well, on this 20th anniversary year of GA we wanted to get at least 20 Anniversary-themed stories to feature for our 2022 Anthology, and our authors pulled through and then some! We have short stories, long stories, poetry, and exploratory fiction. This month of September (which just so happens to my anniversary month on GA & in real life!) we have stories that will go live every single Thursday for readers to enjoy. Make sure you check here for links to each one!
Enjoy these Anniversa
Are you ready for the best intro to an Ask An Author article? I certainly am! Honestly, it could be a great title to the series we're featuring this month.
"Ask An Author, Charlie Boone!"
That's right! We got a set of questions for @Geron Kees's wonderful series, Charlie Boone. Even if you haven't read any of the stories, you've probably seen the titles in the Story Archives. With twenty completed stories, I'm sure it was difficult for our anonymous reader to only ask four questions.
Can you believe it's already September? I can't! So to go back to that holiday feeling, I've featured La Bella Vacanza by James Carnarvon. This story is linked to his series, but somewhat of an aside, so you can read it and enjoy a sampling of the tales.
La Bella Vacanza
by @James Carnarvon
Length: 22,202
Description: A light-hearted novella in seven short chapters.
Sixteen-year-old Reza thinks he knows it all until his parents drag him away on a summer holiday to Ravel
I'm so excited
I just can't hide it
I think I'm about to lose control and I think like it
So September 1st came and went and I am so looking forward to our upcoming Anthology stories!! I know some are done and some are in the hands of our excellent proof team. I guess we can all now wait anxiously to see the first round of entries
I'm up late, early, whatever time in your neck of the woods, so I need to get this all wrapped up and get to bed

For this particular article, I will need some ideas and some feedback from the rest of you guys. Because I definitely know HOW to do this...but it’s not really a practice that I’ve really used myself since I’ve been writing stories online. I guess a part of me was simply too intimidated to really dive in, head first...and another part of me is just too selfish, hehehe...but I DO see the value in making this a part of the writing process and it might be helpful to all of us at
Between editing, proofreading, and writing for the anthology, along with things being crazy at work, my brain is a bit on the crispy side at the moment. So let’s get right into this week’s prompts.
