Hope everyone is having a great summer so far! Before I get into the Weekly Wrap Up, I'd like to announce that I have opened up Theme Suggestions for the 2015 Anthologies. Members will be able to make their suggestions in the thread through July 20th, so get your thinking caps on and share your lists! Now, lets see what happened this past week in the news blog.

On Monday, Percy supplied us with a review of "Memoirs of a Child of the Past Century" by Old Bob. He did a little bit different of a review, choosing some snippets from without this autobiographical story.

Tuesday we took a look at another premium story. "Save Tonight" by CassieQ was one of the 2014 Summer Premium Anthology stories. There were a lot of comments regarding the story, if you've read it, feel free to drop in and share your comments as well. If you haven't read it and have considered purchasing Premium, there's some information there that will help you.

Cia joined us on Wednesday to share some editing tips that she uses while crafting a story. Not only did she share her thoughts, but she asked members to share what they do. Many people took up the challenge and there was a lot of great information given to help both new and seasoned authors.

Trebs visited the blog on Thursday to announce GA's newest Signature Author, Andy78. If you haven't already done so, visit the blog entry and leave him a message!

The prompts returneds on Friday. Comicfan provided us with a photo prompt as well as a first line prompt. It's always hard to choose who to feature, but this way I chose to feature a rather imaginative prompt response that DynoReads crafted in response to Prompt #330.
