Hope your weekend has been going well - mine started poorly due to allergies but major recovery today, so that's good.

We had some fantastic reviews and other material here in the news blog this week. On Monday, we got a great review of prolific Hosted Author Mark Arbour's Wars End. If you haven't checked out any of his work, this may be the one to try first!

Tuesday, I extended the conversation started the previous week, getting some additional input on this news blog. I really appreciate everyone who chimed in, and if you still have thoughts that haven't been voiced yet, you can always send them to me as a PM.

We had a cool set of reviews on Wed - not only were they both of poems, they also were both reviewed by Mark92! First he reviewed Promising Author Bugeye's The Art of Poetry, and then he reviewed Author Menace's Poetry Collection. We don't feature poetry often enough, and we are grateful to Mark92 for these reviews.

Thursday we had another wonderful tip by Cia, on "Ingy verbs" and how NOT to start sentences with them. Or the more wonky title: 'Present Participle Phrases Do Not Belong at the Beginning of a Sentence' - heh...

Our weekly writing prompts, by the ever-inventive ComicFan, are there to give you some starting points - this time with two creative prompts called "The Date" and "Elements".

Lastly, we wrapped up the week with a look back - this time to a 2007 anthology entry from Altimexis called Broad Ripple Blues.

So that was our week - how did yours go?
