Hmmmmm, what to discuss today? Tell you what, let's leave it up to you! :yes: Instead of me bringing something up to discuss, what do you want to discuss? In the olden days when people listened to the radio :P, talk shows would usually have a Friday Free For All. So let's do a Sunday Free For All. 

Some rules. Nothing political, nothing overly sexual, so keep it PG :) For your own personal safety, I would not discuss what evil :evil: that Valkyrie and Krista have planned for me next :X. They may include you in their evil, diabolical, sinister plans :( 

Now here is what happened this past week at the GA News Blog!

Monday, we got introduced to an all new CSR story for April:

Tuesday, Myr, known as the twin of Michael Jackson back in the day, did a deep dive into another genre. I think he can still moonwalk :unsure: Here is his dive on Thriller and Suspense:

The big day of the week, and for the month of April, was to see the first release of the many great poems we have for the Poetry Anthology. Why not give them a read and register a like and a comment!

Since the Anthologies are a big part of GA, we will visit back to the Prompts  in little over a month.

On Saturday, and sad to say, this will be the last available Writing Article from Comicality. If you haven't had a chance, why not pop by and leave him a comment on what the articles have meant for you :yes: 

 

Although our Prompt Team gets a bit of a rest, we don't let the big guy rest. Here are you Words of the Day. I totally have never heard of 4 of them :unsure:.

ween, periwig, prehensile, monstrous, effluvium, herdsman, philately

Here is hoping that their nefarious plan is foiled at the last moment and they get their due and just reward.  Thanks for the look back...

@Valkyrie and @Krista I'm rooting for you, but don't tell anyone.  I wouldn't want it to get back to Steve.

I, like @CassieQ enjoy @Comicality's weekly offering. This week's on the use of monologues by a character was interesting and something we should consider including. What else, i have finished the body of a sweater i'm making for myself and am onto the sleeves now. And like a crazy person, i've decided to attempt to write for NaPoWriMo, for which i will gently blame @Valkyrie as she set up the poetry anthology in April. Which it turns out was a good thing.

Now as i'm prone to a good babble, i'll be quiet. Have a good week all.

I see Steve decided to blame me for something when I'm not even in the country right now.  Little does he know, that I packed my laptop and am able to check in periodically :P  Now, considering that I got up at 5:00 am on Sunday, drove 5 hours to my friend's house, then we drove three more to Boston, where we hopped on a plane for a 7 hour flight across the pond, followed by another 2 hour flight.  Then we waited several hours for my friend's sister's plane to arrive from Poland, and we had quite the adventuresome drive to our rental house. Despite not having slept for over 24 hours, we decided tonight would be a good night to climb the local Tor to see what we could of the eclipse.  I am extremely proud to say that I used all my Valkyrie might and climbed the summit.  This was definitely an experience I will remember for a lifetime!  We met some pretty awesome people, and I even had a guy tell me he loves me, which earned him a big hug :hug: Despite going on now almost 2 days with no sleep, I am energized and not nearly ready to get some shuteye. But I am rambling now, so I will shut up and plan something nefarious for Steve, since he seems to want to manifest something :P

Val, didn't you know you didn't have to travel that far to see the eclipse and there were plenty of places you could have viewed it here in the U.S.?  But putting that aside, have a great rest of the trip.  Just don't marry that guy on impulse.  😜

If I had stayed home, I would have been in the path of totality.  But going on my trip of a lifetime makes it easier to miss it.  Plus, meeting a hot Scotsman who tells me he loves me is icing on the cake :rofl:  He did give a great hug though :gikkle:  I won't marry him though, not even on impulse :no:  :unsure:  :rofl:
