Whew! What a week two. I hope everyone took the time to go check out our Featured Story this week:

And while you were out there looking, I hope you stopped by all the other great stories we talked about on Wednesday: Quonus10's Second Shot and The Trial of Jordan Colmar and Dee's story, Low Down and Out. And on Friday we found a poem by JOeKEool in the Prompts and some people learned that the prompts aren't just "silly little things" any more but real exercises for an author's creativity and boundries.

I also hope you took advantage of the two tips this week -- on Tuesday we had a lesson on how to punctuate around those pesky said tags and on Thursday we were given some ways to promote our stories here on Gay Authors, since there really are so many ways. On both these days there was a lot of participation and feedback -- thank you.

Then finally on Saturday we got to know one of our older authors a little better. Thanks Mark for letting is inside your head, although I know it's scarier than that. (Smoochies.) I can't wait to see what next week brings!
