Are you having a good weekend? I intend to spend mine relaxing and writing! I might even fit in an answer to one of this week's prompts! Or maybe I'll read some of this week's updates from our Hosted and Promising Authors.

Running Far Afield by Libby Drew was our featured story on Monday. This 17k short story was reviewed by Fishwings. A huge fan of hers, he had this to say: I was more than just pleasantly surprised. “Running Far Afield” proved to be one of the best stories I have come across all year. Check out his other thoughts about this teenage fiction in his review.

Libby also provided us with a great tip this week with an article, Editing Isn't for the Weak. She shares her thoughts on editing, author's prerogative, and the relationship between the author and editor when it works well.

In Prompt Me this week Comicfan brought us two new prompts, #230 First Line and #231 List of Words. The list of words prompt includes silk, leather, and a dog dog among other words. Quite the combo! James Savik took on prompt #229 which involved entering a contest to spend a day with a favorite 'star'. Check out his take on the prompt and all the comments. Then why not try your hand at a prompt?
