Weekly Wrap Up (Aug. 6 - Aug. 12)
I think I am going to rename this blog from Weekly Wrap Up to Steve's aging blog
My question to you this week is this. Do you know you have something to do, but before you get to it, you are distracted by multiple other things? Case in point, I sat down over an hour ago to start on the Weekly Wrap Up, didn't happen. Logged into GA, noticed the few notifications so started weaving my way through those. Then there is a few topics that I'm following that I see people posted on. Then I like to usually read the blog on the day. So get all that done, and still not started on the Wrap Up . So do you get easily distracted at GA? I'm curious if you log on here and then don't really get to what you maybe logged in to do. So much great stuff and so little time
Before I procrastinate anymore , let's get the show on the road.
We started off the week with Cia where she introduced us to the CSR for the month August. Check it out. it might get you reading and then make some comments, maybe ask some questions for when the CSR Review Day comes up:
On Thursday, we had a bit of an announcement and shuffling the deck here at GA! Aaron let us all know that the Author Guess Who has been revived. We are looking for authors to submit their name, Aaron will PM you some questions, then they will be kept in a mayonnaise jar on Funk and Wagnall's porch until noon the day before the blog. NO one, knows the contents of these envelopes. Okay, too young to understand that joke ?
So all of us would like you to submit your name. What a great way to build up some exposure on the site:
Friday, our sure fire Prompt Team came at us with 2 new prompts. Check them out:
Saturday, Comsie took us on story of something he has been tempted to do for nearly 2 years:
