Have you digested your Christmas Feast yet? Did anyone actually have some figgy pudding? Have you made tallies to see if the holidays was in the profit column or the loss one? Have you had enough of this year's Christmas holidays? Did you even celebrate the holidays? 

Well, Santa seemed to skip over my house once again this year  I know I was really really really good this past year (not like I got out to anywhere ). I know he skipped my house because I didn't get my usual lump of coal  . In past years I've been able to make this into a diamond  .

Now it is time to start looking forward to the New Year, which happens in only 4 days  . Are we even bothering with New Year's Resolutions this year? All I'm hoping for all of you, is a Happy Hopeful New Year!!

Although it was the holidays, the staff here at GA were diligently at work pumping out the GA News Blog daily for everyone's enjoyment. Shall we review what all happened?

On Monday, it was time for Cia to announce the December Classic Author Feature:

Now that got my interest, as I'm not sure if I've read Sara before. So my interested really got piqued after the Classic Author Feature Excerpt:

On Thursday, Renee came in to give everyone of an overview of all the participants and their stories that were submitted for the 2020 Fall Anthology. Also a shout out to all the people here at GA that put the anthology together for us:

Saturday, Comicality was back to feature another one of the great Writing Tips brought to us.

I also wanted to shout out a reminder that you have until tomorrow to check out this past month's CSR Stories and prepare for the CSR Discussion:

Now, among our writing tips blog, there was a word of the day each day. Make sure you check them out, it is always great to increase your vocabulary. Especially from a crackerjack like Myr  

Now, we need a plan  An action plan so to speak. We had a pretty darn good week last week on the goals and it look like for the 2020 Yearly goal we hit the number of new chapters. So, do you think in the next 4 days, we can get 9 new stories? 49 new reviews? 51 story comments? Or even 1002 chapter comments? Come on folks, it is the dash for the finish line!!
