Hello Everyone  

We missed a weekly update last week as we felt it was best to honour Wayne through the weekend. 

We also had a really, Really, REALLY Big Announcement this week  

Monday things got back to normal with Cia presenting our Classic Author of the month (psst, you didn't hear it here  but Monday is @shadowgod's birthday. He is affectionately known as Steve1):

That meant on Wednesday, Cia was back with the Classic Author Excerpt:

Thursday was that big announcement! I hope you all drop by and say a congratulations to our newest Signature Author:

Friday, we decided to do something a little different, we weren't ready to see Wayne's Prompts go quite yet. We decided to feature the previous weeks prompts once again, and invite everyone to tackle one or the other. Also we wanted to hear from you, what one of his prompts did you enjoy the most and motivated you to write? You can post it in this blog, or write to @Renee Stevens or @wildone to remain anonymous. With your suggestions, we will feature those prompts for a while.

To be fair, we stopped doing the word of the day the previous week and missed the wrap up too, so here is a bit longer list of words that might tickle your fancy :

Nosocomial, Unfettered, Panache, Hobson's Choice, Orphic, Squib, Issuable, Empyreal, Fortuitous, Visage

Now what about the goals? Well we decided rather than just focus on the week, let us look at the month and see how we are doing!
