January Writing Event- Auld Lang Syne - In honor of Carlos Hazday


The Prompt Team event is in full swing, and judging from the response we got, there will be a lot of stories to read in December!  Like it or not, the New Year is fast approaching, which means so is the first writing event of 2025.  It's hard to believe this will be our second writing event in honor of our dear friend Carlos Hazday.  For newer members to the site, Carlos was a fixture of the GA community.  He welcomed and mentored new members and authors, was a great advocate of and participant in our annual anthology, and never failed to give his honest opinion.  He has been sorely missed since his passing.  Carlos had a tradition of posting something new for his readers on January first, so we will keep that tradition going with another writing event in his honor.

Oh man! I really missed out on more than one amazing GA member, then! First @Comicality's brand of humor in the guides he left us and now @Carlos Hazday. I'm all teary eyed and I didn't even get a chance to interact with them. 😢

He was amazing. The epitome of an online friend to so many.  And an epic saga writer with his CJ and Aussie tales. He was one of the most popular authors but still found time to engage with our comments and reviews. Look at his worldview description of how life could be for the community and (re)read the series in the light of his philosophy which he expresses there. A great writer and an even better friend.

Finished 'Summer', now reading 'Autumn' with, I ashamedly admit, peeking at later CJ stories! 😇Amazing saga! Makes me sad whenever I would like to ask something in comments, knowing the answer will never come!
