It's been a busy week in the various GA News Blogs, and hopefully you didn't miss anything, but if you did, that's what the Weekly Wrap Up is for! A quick reminder, if you want to participate in the blogs and help provide content, check out the Blog Feature Opportunities thread in the Help and Announcements forum.

Anthology Discussion Day - October 2016
We finished off the week with the discussion day for the 2016 fall anthology. The discussion days offer an opportunity for authors who plan to participate in the anthology a chance to discuss where they're at and what they're writing about. It also serves as a monthly reminder that the anthology is coming up.
