I hope everyone has had a great week so far. It's still hard to believe that we're in a new year, 2014 seemed to go by so quickly! It's been a busy week here in the blog and in case anyone missed a post throughout the weeks, it's time to take a brief look at what happened this past week.

Cia joined us on Monday to announce the first CSR choice for the year. If you haven't already read Joe the Welder by Robert Rex, now's your chance. If you finish it by the 26th, you'll even be able to join in the discussion. (I'm sure you can join in even if you're not done yet, but you might end up with a few spoilers!)

You asked and Myr answered. Or maybe that's Myr asked and you answered. Either way, Myr responded to the request for a look at the stats for the last year. It seemed like quite a few people were surprised at the numbers, they weren't quite what they were expecting. Want to know if your country is one of the top 15 visiting the site? Check out Myr's blog post!

Wednesday brought us the first Ask An Author feature of the year. This month's edition included questions for Mark Arbour, Thomas Nealy, and Thorn Wilde. Curious as to what they were asked and what their answers were? Go read the blog post, and don't forget to send Dark your questions!

Friday was prompt day once again! If your feeling blocked or just want a short break from your regular story, check out the prompts. Maybe one of them will spark an idea for you. This week I featured a previous response from Cole Matthews!
