A week of holidays - from Beltane to Star Wars Day to the Battle of Puebla - and now, it's over. I hope yours was good.

We started our GA week looking at Hosted Author Bill W's story Butterflies Fly Free, thanks to a great review by K.C.. I hadn't been aware of the story, but thanks to KC's review, I'm very intrigued.

Our tips this week were a good mix with a writing oriented one about Pleonasms, learning what they are to better avoid them; and a site oriented one on the community that is GA, called Life in the Fishbowl. While I saw a lot of my favorite pleonasms in the column, no one mentioned my favorite "The La Brea Tar pits".

Our midweek Author's showcase featured reviews on Promising Author Jack Frost's The Comfort of a Blanket as well as Michael9344's The Game He Lost. Both are great reads and I'm happy to see them reviewed here.

ComicFan did not disappoint with this weeks prompts - one to use a wordlist (including gravesite and pregnant woman) and the other a prompt to write about a legacy. I love seeing how different people take these same elements and go in vastly different directions.

Our week rounded out with a look at some great editing tips from an October 2006 newsletter.
