What a week it's been at the Gay Authors News Blog! Now it's time for the Weekly Recap!! Enjoy!

We started out the week with the first CSR Book Club Announcement of 2014! The January book club selection is comprised of, if I counted correctly, 13 short stories by Totallyy. You can read any or all, it's entirely up to you. Whatever you decide, don't forget to join in the discussion that will be taking place on January 27th!

Wednesday started out with a bit of a prank by Cia. She then went on to discuss using "fifty cent" words and "nickel words" in writing and how their usage can change the tone of a person's writing. I personally really enjoyed this little article and I hope you did as well!

Stuck on writing? Need a little jumpstart? Check out the two new prompts that Comicfan gave us on Friday. One gives you the chance to write about your horoscope coming true while the other one gives you a list of words to use in your prompt. Also, as always, we featured a past prompt response. Curious? Go check out Friday's Prompt Me!
