The weekend is almost over - but at least NEXT weekend will be a three-day one for many of us in the states.

We've had a busy week with a ton of great feedback. For our "Tuesday tip", we did something different and had a poll as well as requests for open comments about this news blog. If you haven't chimed in, or if you have something new you want to add - please go and either post there or as a comment here.

One of the suggestions has even been implemented already. As we continually ask for reviews, MJ85 noted that we hadn't covered writing reviews as a tip in the blog. Well - now we have with our Thursday tip on reviewing. Now - heh, I'm not saying we're going to be this quick with all of the feedback, but this one was perfect and we just had to get it on deck as soon as possible.

In addition to these tips, we've had our usual great reviews of various stories on GA. Monday, Fozzie Bear gave a review of Hosted Author Lugh's story Catara. If you're looking for a new story and like Sci/Fi - Catara sounds like something you might want to check out.

Wednesday we had reviews of both Promising Author Rilbur story Choice, as well as a review of Author Houdinii's story Agoraphobia. Both stories are intriguing and and based on these reviews, I've already gone and read Choice myself, and looking forward to checking out Agoraphobia.

Our prompts this week both gave a snapshot of a background for a story, one called "The Oracle" and the other "The Sleeper". I am looking forward to seeing where people may take these.

Finally, we looked back yesterday on a writing tip from VLista that appeared in our December 2006 newsletter, giving advice on how he approaches the writing process.

So that was our week - how did yours go?
