    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

Classic Author Feature: Dare by Mellicat

Can you believe over half the year has passed and we are closer to out of the twenty-teens and into the twenty twenties than before? The future is coming fast, years passing, and before we know it, the twilight of the year will be here! And that can be true in stories too, you start and don't even realize you're reading faster and faster, desperate to know if the character will be able to find that happy ever after. In this short story by Mellicat, you can't help but be sucked in to the sense of

Weekly Wrap Up (Jul. 7 - Jul. -13)

So I was down at the Stampede tonight to about 12:30 am  and I met this nice couple from Australia. I asked if they knew @Graeme, but surprisingly they did not   They decided to come over here for their winter and our summer  When I asked them where they were from, they said Wagga Wagga, NSW . I thought to myself, self, why does Australia have such funny names? Then I thought it my be Aboriginal names, and who am it to judge? Here in the Great White North, we have Moosejaw, and here's a tongue t

Graveyard Poetry

Hello old friend. It's just you and me now. They are all gone, but their words repeat unending. I hear their words, but they're long gone. I don't care, I love him, I cant stay, you're uncaring, you're worthless, you're unlovable.  Hello old friend. I have my plastic smile in. Their shades haunt my days and torment my nights. If you smile while you cut all ties they dont notice. You're alone, you're unknown, you're unremarkable, they don't see, they d

Bled the Blood (part 2)

This is surreal.  To hear my little song done by my buddy in his own, folky/country style is so strange.  To know that his regular fans hearing it love it is even stranger... Happy Friday... wow.

The Adermoor Cove Chronicle: The Inspirations Behind Adermoor Cove

Adermoor Cove is a serial I'm working on about a town on an island just off the coast of Maine and a young man who goes to the town in search for answers. The young man, Lane Hardy has been on the run for a year, being stalked by a supernatural force he doesn't understand, as well as his own uncontrollable powers. Adermoor Cove is supposedly where the dark source comes from. As he tries to find out more about the dark forces and his own past, he discovers the town isn't what it seems. Today

not quite me

For several days now, i’ve been “off.” Off my game; off my healthy eating; my mood is off; my enjoyment of my job is off.  i’m just OFF.  Frankly, i don’t like feeling like this.  Even my relationships are off. i had to excuse myself from the living room last night when the kids’ joking around and the dogs barking made me feel like i was about to explode.  i cried a little when i told a friend that i loved him. i know that this happens; we’re all human and life ebbs and flows. i also k

Featured Story: Between the Tension

Enjoy not only this great review by Timothy M, but also on the story Between the Tension by @Hudson Bartholomew Between the Tension Hudson Bartholomew Reviewer: Timothy M. Status: Complete Word Count: 100,760 The first story of this two-book series contains some of the best erotic scenes I’ve had the pleasure of reading on GA. Maybe that’s not surprising when the two main characters make money by doing porn. But the story also has a beautiful sad romance between an outgoing,

Valves

What I've described to the Dr. in the past as being, "short, sharp, heartbeats" were being very and unusually persistent last night when I was trying to fall asleep. Ended up going to the ER -- not out of concern (they've already said they didn't see anything concerning about my heart function) but in the hopes that if they were going to persist that I could relax enough they would happen there where I would be monitored.  It's very difficult to relax in an ER room, even when that's your goal.

Weekly Wrap Up (Jun. 31 - Jul. 6)

There is a lot to be said about being regular. Especially when you reach the age of 50, being regular is just more comfortable way of life  So what the heck am i talking about ? Well this week here at the GA Blog, we had a regular week  M-W-F posting of the ole standbys. I am not saying that a variety of new items and mixing things up is a bad thing, far from it. Change is the necessity of life. So it is always nice to be regular again   On Monday, Cia presented us with a new CSR Featu

Under [not enough] Pressure

Blood pressure was low yesterday morning so just took a 1/2 a pill.  Dropped to a point I nearly passed out when standing up at one point.  Only got up to 105/72 by 5pm last night (pulse of 75). It's just 85/62 this morning with a pulse of 109 (pulse would be that high because the bp is so low).  No idea what's up but it could stop and I'd be happy.  Need to eat something for breakfast then try to lay down and stay down for the morning.

life after chemo

Finished chemo on May 23. Had my follow up and all the extra tests. No sign of cancer. My hair is growing back....it did change color - sort of. My hair was very fine before chemo, it’s even finer now. So fine it appears colorless. Hopefully this is short lived. My supervisor at work thought I breezed through chemo, until the last two treatments. I guess I’m good at hiding fatigue, weakness and burning pain. For a while I thought I would have to quit teaching because I would forget the topi

Ask an Author 2.0 #21

Ask an Author 2.0 #21 Twenty-one! At last. Somebody wanna get me a cocktail? @northie has a knack for delivering the unexpected. Ghosts in her most recent anthology offering, the travails of old age frequently, or I understand horror in other works. I don’t do scary flicks or stories so no comments from me on those. The point is she buckles trends and offers tales unlike what most GA authors do. You should give one or two of them a look. What weighs you down the most in your writi

New Chapter, New Book

The second chapter to Not Your Mentor is now up. For those wondering, the story currently runs about 14 chapters, though some of those are only in outline form, so the final number may be plus or minus one or two. It's been pointed out I put Las Vegas in one subtitle in place of New Orleans. I blame the fact that I referred to the "What happens in Vegas" motto at one point, and confused myself! In other news, my first book is now available on Amazon. Its called They're Watching You, an

Life

Today tim shared a motivational poster which said: The older I get the more I understand that it's okay to live a life other's don't understand.  That made me think. While it is true many do not understand our D/s lifestyle, recently, I've found myself questioning it also.  I do not believe D/s will ever be totally gone from us. But I have found that by easing back a little bit, life is more fun and more fulfilling. I have discussed these changes with tim; these lessening of the Rules.
