Weekly Wrap Up (July 15 - July 21)


Well it really must be the beginning of the dog days of summer this week here at GA! We didn't have a full packed week at the GA Cia Blog, but that is not necessarily a bad thing :). It does mean that everyone is having some rest and relaxation, which I'm all for!!

 

So back to the wrap up, on Monday Cia introduced us to the July Classic Author:

 

Tuesday we took the day off and picked up again on Wednesday with Cia sharing the July Classic Excerpt:

LOL! Well, this is the only week I do the two blogs on a regular basis, plus I only do the first and last Mondays of the month. So I'm used to doing the 3 graphics/picking out reviews and excerpts and picking out stories and writing up interviews for authors month-to-month. Usually @Renee Stevens would do the prompts which are provided by @comicfan. And she left them already all set up in a post we just have to do the intro, copy, and post the blog ahead of time and feature it (which I can forget to do, whoops!). And, you put the writing prompts into topics in the forum, @northie. And reviews come from reviewers to the team lead for formatting to a topic where I can copy to post with a short intro for the story reviews. The AAA posts are written up and formatted by @Carlos Hazday and I just have to do some moving... There's a lot of collaboration going on behind the scenes because it really does take an army to keep the content coming on a weekly basis for you guys, year after year. It's one of the reasons doing consistent blogs and newsletters have fizzled in the past. 

 

So really, Steve has more to do with his blog than I do for the most part. He has to make sure he gets all the blogs that post or don't post, special announcements/site features, try to make sure none of the authors get missed in the story query, etc... 

 

Besides, I also do the mod queue for new authors every day, the weekly newsletter, the occasional support request geared toward my area of expertise of the site, and any PMs that come in from authors/members day-to-day, my writing challenge/lesson in the Writer's Circle Club each weekend, plus I write/edit for my Premium story that posts each Sunday, and I also have to write my chapter new each week for my flash fiction group that posts on Wednesdays. And there's behind the scenes graphic work, long-term project stuff, etc... All told, I probably spend 1 to 8 hours on GA work per day depending on the day of the week and time of the year. No idea what I'd do with a week off, LOL!
