Well how the heck are you? :) 

First things first, thank you to Cia for stepping in last moment for me last week when I was suddenly hit with a wave of nausea again. Unfortunately still side effects of a new medicine. I know when I reached out to her, she and her hubby had just settled down to watching Justin Bieber's, Never Say Never :gikkle:. Okay, maybe the last part isn't the whole truth 0:).

I really can't believe how a week can make a difference. Last Sunday, I think we had a high of 2 (37F) and ugly. This weekend, we are sitting in the mid 20's (mid 70's) and it is beautiful. This week I decided to start working off the Covid 19 lbs. that somehow doubled to 38 over the past year :o. Wish me luck, but I tell you, getting motivated for a walk is so much easier when you don't have to double your body weight in clothing to go out. Hmmm, wonder if I would be more motivated if I walked naked :lmao:.

With the disturbing image in your minds :gikkle: let's see what we have had happen in the GA Blog this week.

Monday, Renee shared a great story review about one of our longest running stories and currently still posting here at GA. @Timothy M. did the story great justice.

 

Then we took an extended break until everyone's favourite prompt guru, comicfan, popped in to share a couple more new prompts:

Finally on Saturday, Myr took the reigns to this rickety cart and brought us a new new discussion on Article Day:

Now, did you go in daily and learn some new words for not only your writing, but your vocabulary? If not, never too late as they are all condensed here :yes: 

 Vanilla, Tatterdemalion, Pyrotechnics, Colloquy, Alopecia, Touchstone, Minuscule

Lastly, how about those goals!

There's just about two weeks left to submit stories to the anthology proof team.  There's already a fantastic lineup of stories.  :)
