Weekly Wrap Up (July 22 - July 28)


We continue on with our summer broadcasting schedule (do you say shedual or skedual? :unsure: ) I didn't take over the weeks worth of blogs for Cia, as you really don't want to see that :(. Instead we split up the week a bit more this week :).

 

Monday Cia brought us a Story Review by @LitLover

 

Wednesday Graeme took over the blog again for some big news!

 

Friday, Cia shared prompts from our prompt guru @comicfan

 

Saturday Myr jumped in with some exciting news about Stories! 

 

Sunday, Steve did the Weekly Update :P

 

Question for you all, we have a feature called Improve & Encourage. Essentially people put down their name and then next person to sign up would do a review for the person above them. Here is the last blurb that Renee shared with us:

 

Quote

 


I hope you all enjoyed the last Improve & Encourage feature, because it's time for another one. These features are meant to both provide feedback to authors and, similar to story reviews, point out stories that readers might not otherwise have found. It's similar to a review, in that the person doing the critique tells you what they liked about the story, but it differs in that they also provide constructive criticism. Each author signed up to participate, and sign up's are still open!  These will post once a month until the last author signed up is critiqued. If you'd like to provide a critique for the blog, sign up in the thread. Just remember, by signing up, you are also volunteering to have your story critiqued and featured. I'm currently out of these critiques, so if you've already signed up, and haven't yet provided your critique, please get them in as soon as possible. 
 

 

 

Authors learn best when they have the chance to engage in active feedback and give and take with other authors. That's why GA is such a great community. So if this feature sounds like it's for you, sign up now!

Looking good on the Promising Stories list @Dodger :lol: 

 

It would be great if more people signed up for the Improve and Encourage feature. There are only four critiques not yet done (including the final one by Renee). The next author to sign up gets to critique a story by CassieQ.
