Out with the old and in with the new!!! No I'm not referring to Renee and myself but the passing of 2014 and now on our way into 2015. Renee is taking a much deserved vacation or she is recovering from a massive hangover from New Year's Eve. I'll let you all decide

We had a busy week on Blog for the end of the year and into the new one.

Monday was a chance for Cia to bring us the CSR Discussion Day with Delores Esteban. Not only did they discuss Delores' story Space Pioneer, but also gave a sneak peek into the yet to be released sequel! Did you know she eats plenty of fruits and veggies

Tuesday had our last Tech Tuesday brought to us by Cia relaying a message on behalf of Myr. Basically what Myr is looking for in this weeks addition is your feedback on what you would like to see? Technical issues with old and new software, new things for the blogs, what would YOU like to see come to GA in the future?

New Year's Eve Day had Renee looking back at some of the Prompts that may have been missed or not having responses on. She dedicated this Wednesday as Second Chance Prompts to give people the chance to take another stab at them. What a great way to finish out the year! We did have some enthusiastic takers on this challenge.

New Year's Day found Cia bringing us the Signature Background for January which is a tribute to Stellar's story Hidden Sunlight. In addition to a great graphic for your background of the month, Cia introduced us to one of my personal favourite stories on the site .

Friday's Prompt Me introduced two new prompts and a new Poetry prompt for all to have a go at. Prompt 382 Creative gave us 5 words to try to incorporate into a short story. Prompt 383 was very seasonal in that the deals with New Year and some resolutions. Also the Fifth Poetry Prompt which involves coming up with some Couplets based on some music. Finishing up Renee shared a prompt from Totallyy.
