Those of you that still have or always have had daylight savings time, today is the day that it is okay to be late to work  So if you showed up for your 9:00 AM shift at 9:15 but forgot to set your clocks back, you are 45 minutes early  Let's just ignore the fact that most people use their phone for their alarm and phones automatically update on their own .

So Thursday was the first of many big weeks here at GA! Did you get excited about the start of releasing of the Fall 2021  Anthologies on Thursday? There is now ample reading to keep you busy and all new stories at that!

Let's look back at the rest of the week and see what happened at the GA Blog.

On Monday, Cia brought us a new CSR Story to read over the next month! I've read it, I loved it, really looking forward to the Author Discussion Day  

Wednesday was kind of a sad day  Aaron ran out of questions to ask our authors for AAA. Renee did up a blog to show how easy it is. Doesn't matter if you are a long term term member, a new member, a vocal member or a shy member, you all can submit 3 questions anonymously to Aaron. He will then be like the Cookie Monster and hunt down a cookie, or maybe an author , and hopefully get your answers and feature them on AAA. Remember, you are anonymous!

**Legal Disclaimer - Aaron has not nibbled on an author like a cookie... in a while**

Thursday was the first of four weeks of something that is getting more and more popular every time we publish. Make sure you check out all of the first releases of the 2021 Fall Anthology! A huge thank you to Authors, Editors, Banner designers and to all the readers as well. You all are making this a great success!

Well that was the week in a nutshell. But we did have our daily Words of the Week:

Wraith, Scour, Pertain, Bumptious, Duplicity, Bowdlerize, Gritty

Since we finished off the month of October, here is how we did on our goals. Pretty good October! Let's continue on into November!!
