It's once again time to take a look at what has happened here on GA this past week. Emotions have run high after the news about the tragic shooting in Orlando, Florida. While many of us couldn't find the words to say how we felt, Steve managed to do what we couldn't, and shared some thoughts on what happened in Orlando. Some authors, both here at GA and others, are putting together a Poetry Anthology to benefit the victims of the Pulse shooting. If you're interested in participating, you can check out Cazpedroso's blog. Now lets look at what else happened in the blog this week.

This week was signature week, and this months Signature Feature is Krista's story "Standing in Shadows". There were quite a few comments from Krista's readers on Monday, and if interested, you can download a banner for the story. Then on Wednesday, we shared a short excerpt from Krista's story. Check it out if you haven't already, and just maybe you'll find something you haven't read yet!

New prompts were released on Friday. Writing prompts are great if you're suffering from writer's block, if you want to take a break from your current story, or if you're wanting to write something for the first time. If one of Friday's prompts doesn't catch your attention, you can check out all the past prompts in the prompt forum. Don't forget to share your prompt responses in the thread, and remember that prompt responses under 1K need to be posted as part of a collection.
