Wow, that week went by in a whirl  Not that I was swept off my feet by Prince Charming, but just overall it was a quick week. I could of sworn a day or two ago that I was doing last weeks wrap up.

Instead of me babbling on, I want to call to attention our Annual Anthology Topic Poll.

This is a great concept that I think is turning out not only some great topics, but great engagement across the site! When you see a lot of votes you think oh well, what will mine count? In this case your vote is as important and carries as much weight as everyone else's. The more votes we get entered, and remember you get to choose your top 3, I'm hoping the more motivation for Authors to get involved in this Anthology will be the result! Then more will be also motivated to read it when it comes out somewhere around October/November. It is a win win situation for Authors and Readers!!

Now that I got your attention on that, I will do something unusual  and start off with the Thursday blog. It has all the information for the voting for the Anthology.

What the heck, lets toss out the usual routine  Not sure if this is Slytherin's cousin or not.

Did you get up this morning and log on and get a chance to read Comsies' Writing Article? It does discuss an interesting concept.

Are you curious what Myr brought up this week on his Deep Dive?

What about the super, duper, Review Team's Featured Story on Monday?

Now here is a question to see just how old your are . What do Ricardo Montalbán and Hervé Villechaize have in common? If you guess smooth Corinthian Leather, you're wrong . To get the answer, check out the prompt themes that Cole Matthews gave us this week:

Myr was busy every morning this week around 2 AM EDT getting the Words of the Day ready for us  

ursine, sartorial, prank, amorous, mignonette, plumage, madcap
