Sorry for the late post again this week; I had family visiting I haven't seen in a few months. As for GA ... lots of drama here this week! Let's take a look back, shall we?

 


Monday was relatively quiet ... I announced our short story line up for the Can't Stop Reading Blog Book Club. We will be reading the last 3 year's Reader's Choice Award Winners. Take a look at the stories, and join us for the Discussion Day on 5/27. You can ask the authors questions (or send them in ahead of time via a pm to me for those authors to answer that can't participate that day) and share your favorite line from the story(ies) you read.

 

Wacky Wednesday's writing tip was an article on adverbs by Andy021278. He shared some great tips on those -ly words and how to spell them. Quickly check it out, quite thoroughly!

 

Later Wednesday we had a Urgent Site News post from site administration. Something we always hate to deal with, but does crop up from time to time ... plagiarism. We found that a member I had recently put on the WST-and promoted to Promising author-had stolen all the novels he'd posted on the site from published authors. If you want to find out more, please review the blog post written by Myr. We want everyone to be aware of the issue, and please, if you suspect an author of stealing, or see a GA author's work off-site, let us know asap.

 


Now for a look forward!

There was definitely a lot of drama this week. I happened to come in late to this announcement since the blog is no longer posted on the front page, but regardless; I think this was sickening for many, including myself. As anyone who does any form of artistry knows, it their baby and for someone to simply sweep up, change the content to an extent, and then claim it to be their own is not only catastrophic, (as I'm sure KC can attest), but it's downright appalling.... But at the end of the day, no one is to blame the GA team, for they did an excellent job by not only proclaiming this loudly within the community, but they were very open about it and should be commended for their actions.

 

While I may not agree 100% of the time with the admins, I do respect them for what they do for us authors. Again, golf clap all around... ~CHEERS~

Too much drama in a week for me.  I just hope we can now all get back to what we enjoy doing the most: reading, writing and reviewing.

 

I hope there will be lots of questions for the Can't Stop Reading club, and that not too many come my way :)

I agree with Andy.  CSR club should be great.  Will be getting my questions together this week!
