Hey all. This week we continued to focus on the tragic news of @Comicality's passing. I know when I do the wrap up, I'm kind of doing what I hope some of your are doing. catching up on what happened over the week. When I heard we were out of Comsie's articles and also another blog when we heard he was having some health concerns, never did I know this would happen . I enjoy reading all the blogs over the week and liked Comsie's Weekly Writing Articles. They just made sense. If for some reason you haven't read the unfortunate news, please check out the blog and comment if you wish, or leave a comment below if you want. We slowly got back to a schedule on Thursday, but with missing the Wrap Up last week, I'd like to give credit to the blogs that appeared last week up until last Thursday. So back on Monday the 15th, Cia had announced our Signature Feature for the month.

I had this big long speech from upon my soapbox and Valkyrie so rudely pulled it out from under me and now I have road rash on my ass. Oh, what a great segue to the Poetry Anthology . Get it? Rash...Ass. Well, maybe they don't totally rhyme Also I don't want to belittle the great poets out there either. Now I do look forward to the many experienced to blossoming poets, even if you don't see yourself as one yet, getting an entry in! Down below on the Thursday blog, Val actually gets down to business and talks all about the Anthology. So what happened this past week? Got some good news, got some bad news and I think the rest of the week fell in between that . Oh, before I forget, if you wake up at the crack of dawn on a Sunday and can't start your day until you have read the GA Weekly Wrap Up, and you live in most places in North America, look at your clock. Now look at your clock on your phone. If one is an hour behind the other, you are LATE!! Hoping no one is late though with the change to daylight savings time . So that might be the question of the week! Did you spring forward last night? I did . Monday Cia introduced us to a new CSR feature for the month of March. If you are looking for something new, check this out: Then on Tuesday, Myr did a good look at the Paranormal: Wednesday, once a month, a family and fan favourite, Aaron brought us the Ask An Author 3.0: Thursday, Valkyrie did a shout out to everyone to put on your poet hats and get a poem in for out Poetry Anthology: On Friday, Cole challenged us to try our hands at sarcasm. I do find it tricky to put down in words. Sometimes it comes across like if it is being given by Sheldon Cooper, the King of Sarcasm. So prove me wrong Finally on Saturday, the reason we are all here at this place called GA, Comicality gave another great article: I learned a new word on Saturday that stood out to me that I could now use as a description of someone How about you?
