Back for a week and then gone again! That's right, you're stuck with me again this week. @wildone got called out of town unexpectedly and asked me to do the wrap up. If you haven't already done so, please go vote in the Anthology Theme Selection for next year!  We've only had fifteen votes for the top themes next year. With almost 1,300 authors and almost 27,000 members in total, 280 of whom are already members of the Writer's Circle club, I had hoped for a much better turnout. All members are eligible to vote! Remember, there will be special incentives for writing for a Top theme next year, so please try and help make sure that the selected themes are ones you'd really want to write for!!! Voting ends on the 17th, so you're almost out of time!  I have included the link for you to join the Writer's Club as well as a link to vote in the anthology themes once you have done so. If you've already voted, thank you!!!! And please, encourage your fellow authors and members to do so as well.

Anthology Theme Voting - Round 1

On another note, it's that time again that school will be back in session!  Are those who are affected by schools opening up ready? I hope everyone stays safe and healthy! I myself will have my next round of classes starting on Monday. Luckily, all of my courses are online, so I'll be able to do everything from the safety of my home, but looking at my classes, this semester is gonna be crazy. I'll still be around, but it may take me a bit to respond.

Now, let's look at this week!
