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.

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! 

I somehow missed the CJ stories and am also reading through them.  I was too busy hiding in the closet to get to know Carlos.  It is bittersweet to meet him now through his words.

I agree it's sad, but you shouldn't let that stop you from commenting. Many follow Carlos' stories still. And I for one, love to chat about them :) .
