First, congratulations to Renee who is relaxing on a family trip. This gives me the chance to <bwah ah ha> TAKE OVER! And it is a great week that I get to look back on, starting with our look at July's CSR Book Club selection of Advent by Promising Author Cole Matthews. Be sure to stop back on Monday, July 28th when we'll discuss this great story.

Our Premium Tuesday blog entry for this week was Waiting for the Sign by dkstories, continuing our look at the great stories available as thanks for our Premium Content supporters.

Cia gave us a great writing tip on Overcoming the Obstacles.

Finally, we got two wonderful new writing prompts, one with an amusing set of words and the other with a sci/fi'ish scenario. To cap it off, we got a look at Cole Matthew's response to Prompt 336, starting off with "Oh God. This isn't what it looks like!"
