Happy real Thanksgiving At least to my Canadian friends. You know what that means here, another day off for a long weekend or if you work on Monday, probably will be time and a half Makes me thankful I live in Canada This long weekend I find myself dog sitting at the dog's house. Not as in the dog house but at the house the dog's live with their human friends. They wanted to put them in a kennel as they headed out of town for a celebration of life, but shall we say the doggies are senior citizens and unfortunately they may not be with us for very much longer . So rather than the stress of a kennel, I agreed to come up and baby sit the old guys Moving on to GA stuff, I think I can tell you without @Valkyrie chasing me around with a pitchfork, that we had really good turnout to the 2023 Leap of Faith Anthology. Our prompt team is working around the clock to get on last read on them and back to the authors for any changes, I would expect you all will start seeing them in the short future There was a lot of other stuffs going on at the GA News Blog, so shall we do what the name of this blog is, and wrap it all up? Cia was by on Monday with an all new CSR Feature for this month. Check it out: Tuesday, @Myr put on his speedo again before he did another deep dive into another genre: Wednesday, can you believe it is the first Tuesday of October , Aaron brought us another great chapter of Ask An Author: We gave Val the week off, the slacker She is much too busy with the anthology in reality . This meant next up was our Friday announcement of some new prompts: Then today, or maybe yesterday depending on your time zone, Comicality came calling : Here are our Words of the Week: mammoth, hoarfrost, heifer, colander, cistern, bonsai, herbalist Member Participation Blogs - Great way to promote yourself!!

Wow, did that werk ever go fast Just a few personal notes to check in with this week. I continue to be nice to Val, but my devil on the right shoulder keeps pestering me to throw that out the window. Second thing, I’ll probably be taking off the next two wrap ups as I do believe I’ll be on a South Pacific Island. It has been actually 14 years since I took a vacation outside of a 3 hour drive from home. Just need to ensure I have reef friendly sun screen 😉 As usual, enough about me and let’s get to the wrap up. Monday was the day that our Review Team got to remind you of all the superfragilistic reviews over the past year. Also check out how you too can be a part of our Review Team. 😎 While you caught up on reading all the reviewed stories, we looked back at a past Poetry Anthology. Which coincidentally is our first anthology of the year. On Friday, our Prompt Day, we got a few new ones: Saturday’s article by Comsie was an interesting read: Now I’m out and aboot 🇨🇦 this morning, but my dedication to get you 3/5th of the wrap up is amazing gikkle: but I won’t get you the words of the day or goal summary until later.
