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. Check it out and download the banner to use in your signature:

Read, Write, and REVIEW!!! (Don't forget to Recommend too!)

I have been following Comicality since New Kid in School first showed up on Nifty in 1998.  I started exchanging emails with him that long ago.  We've been online friends since.  When the opportunity arose for me to start Gay Authors in Sep 2002, Comicality was the first author with us.  When we opened the forums at the very end of July in 2003, it only took me a few days to get Comicality on the forums.  Back then he was on a WebTV...
He continued to grow and grow as an author branching out and touching so many lives.  It's hard to put into words that sort of friendship we had.  The ultimate penpal with 26 years of emailing and chatting.  He was so expressive and caring.  He took his passion for writing and shared so much with us all through his stories, his articles, his posts, everything.
Rest In Peace, my friend.
