    Word Triggers

    By Valkyrie

    Certain otherwise-innocuous words can be a trigger for some people.  Maybe it's a negative association with the word - a reminder of past trauma or a social faux pas.  It could be a word that becomes an inside joke - an innocent word given a not-so-innocent meaning.  These words make us cringe and avoid them and not really want to explain our reaction to other people.  For me, a certain spring-blooming flower is a word trigger.  I avoid saying the name of this flower because I have  negative ass

How I Write Now

I was going to do a long thing about how I have changed my writing process in the 7 years that I was gone from the website. I even had that post started and named, but then I decided to change it up.  I'm still going to talk about my writing process but now I'm going to just do it in a concise and point by point way. At least I hope it turns out concise.  Getting that idea This is where the whole thing starts. Before this was the only step before I started writing on the

Prompt 790 and Prompt 791

Hello and welcome to another attempt to get you to write and share your prompt stories. Prompts are usually short tales. However, over the years a prompt has inspired an author and multi chapter stories or novels have happened. They have been used as the start of chapters and as a way to reintroduce old characters into new settings. In plain English, prompts are there to inspire you to think or write in new ways. Don't be afraid to try one. Here are two new prompts to get you writing. Promp

Don't call me a child

Don't call me a child and say my life has been easy. My life has been far from easy. My first real happy memory is being a birthday party for the first time by people who cared for me, I don't know how old I was but it was at least 4, and it was given to me not by my biological parents. Another HAPPY memory in a courthouse being given a new last name by a family who showed me love. I was seven. It was even said go ahead take them they're not my problem now. Yes looking back I can see how I was a

Author Guess Who #4

I know it's been a while, but it's time for another Author Guess WHO!  You'll have a couple of weeks to guess the author. Good luck! Sorry about the lack of extra formatting. Posting using my phone again.   What is one thing that most GA members might not know about you? I used to listen almost exclusively to heavy metal, before I realised that the world wasn't divided into heavy metal and bubblegum pop.   What prompted you to write your

October CSR Feature: Spirits & Spare Parts

Wow, it's October 2019, and I've been doing the CSR blog every month for 7 years this year.... 7 is one of those spoooooky numbers. Or is it lucky? Guess it depends on who you ask... or if you're in Vegas? When the holiday season comes around, I like to change this up, or really, any season where I can theme the stories or give readers a chance to try something a little different. I've been doing interviews, a LOT of interviews, over the years as well. Well, this month it's going to be a little

A list of moments

*That moment when you don't have enough of the right kind of holes on the back of your TV. * That moment of pain when you have to unplug something *That moment of frustration when the splitter you added to have everything plugged in ruins the one time you actually had all the damn chords looking good for once. (Because even though no one else will ever look at them,  YOU had the satisfaction of knowing)  *That moment when you don't have enough of the right kind of holes on the bac

Three Poems for Colin

. for Colin   Sonnet No. 1   Your fingers inch along my shoulder blades, Caressing, releasing, gripping and spread Like dripping flame to drench me in cascades Where every part of me your hands are led.  Soothing exploration is what I feel, A student under a master's care, Whose object is loving and meant to heal, Though silent and extremely aware. But the fire in me which your caress stokes Is o

Ask an Author 2.0 #24

In October 2017, @Renee Stevens resurrected the popular Ask an Author GA Blog. Two months later, I was entrusted with coordinating the monthly feature. Including this month’s entry, the blog has featured 119 responses by 66 different authors. I’ve been lucky with readers asking question and authors providing replies. Over the last 24 months I’ve been astounded by their generosity in answering whatever I asked of them. Only twice was my approach rebuffed for personal reasons. Out of all the

Swimming in September

Nobody on the road Nobody on the beach I feel it in the air The summer's out of reach Empty lake, empty streets The sun goes down alone I'm driving by your house Though I know you're not home  Kids are in school. Workers back to the ant hive. It's still hot as hell. Upper nineties for the last few weeks. That leaves the pool at my gym just about perfect. The water warm and clear. Just like my memory before things got cold and muddy. I dive in like a time warp. I h

Today is a day that I was not looking forward to If you look at the little pictures at the top of this blog, you will see who has posted in this blog, and how many times, I have been dreading this day for about six months, maybe more. I told Renee that it would be hard to surpass Trebs and move ahead of him on this blog. So who is Trebs? For those of you that have joined over the last five years here on GA, Trebs or Robert, was a Admin and on the board of CDEJR Services, he was

Memories

Took today and Monday off. I'm not making it to Joplin for the Tri-State Gem & Mineral event because of unexpected car repairs but I did drive down to the same town C & I were at when we spent an entire afternoon wandering through antique stores. There were a couple of moments where his loss threatened to sneak up on me, but I tried to focus on the fun we had that afternoon -- the brief moments holding hands, the quick pat an the ass when we where out of sight of other customers -- the g

First off my apology. I posted the blog and then forgot to post the prompts in the forum. D'oh! I went to look for those that might have done them and felt foolish.

Announcement: 2020 Anthology Themes

Thank you to everyone who voted for the 2020 Anthology themes!  We had a lot of great themes to choose from this year, and after the first round of voting, we narrowed it down to 15 themes for the final vote. Of those 15, only 4 could be our themes for next years anthologies. This year, I didn't even need a tie breaker vote as the top four were very clear!  Before we get to those themes, let's have a quick reminder of the upcoming anthology!
