I now know why I was so giddy last week. The fact is I think that @Valkyrie is the reason why  

See, she found this silly little web page all about otters, Called In Otter News. It is all about an otter named Steve and his friends  Some are actual pictures, other are cartons of him.

 

So every day the last couple of weeks, I check throughout the day and get my chuckles. So thanks for that Val  If it wasn't you, then I will retract my thank you and send to the correct person if needed . I'll keep smiling every time I see what Steve (my alter ego) is up to .

Now let's jump into the thick of things.

Monday was for Cia to chat with the author of our May CSR for the Discussion Day:

Tuesday was Myr's exploration as he did a Deep Dive into another Genre:

Thursdays was an informative day for all. Val took a look ahead on some Upcoming Writing Events. Don't say you weren't warned  

Friday, Cole dropped in and shared some Latin with us and some interesting ideas on Prompt Friday. I have been raking ideas over in my head on how to maybe do one  No promises  

 

 

We had 7 different Words of the Day this week and maybe you should check them out  Might learn some A, B, C's:

burgeon, bafflegab, accismus, bailiwick, bathyscaphe, banausic, cabotage
