Ask an Author 2.0 #25

Welcome to the final installment of Ask an Author. Yep, you read correctly. I’m out of questions, so unless I get a few new ones, there will not be a December blog entry. In the meantime, a member sent in a query for several authors.   "Which is harder to write and why... short stories (so much has to be crammed into so little space) or a chapter story (so much research to get it right, like CJ and his environs or Donny and Louis in Mikiesboy's Changes & Changes Again?)

The Great Escape

Decades of Production

How in the world is this possible?  How can I have an idea decades old and I'm still holding on to it?  Is it possible that I struggle with letting someone else write it?  Truth is, I struggle with the reality that this story deserves a better writer, because I want it to be perfect.  Is that why it's taking so long?  Am I building my talent, and trying to get to the point where I"m good enough, or am I hoping that someone will step up and write the DAMN thing?  Lol.  You don't even know how lon

Thoughts from the Faerie Fool

Memories and Lyrics

I'm not really a writer - things pop into my heat now and then and demand to be written down, but not good otherwise; and at the moment there's too many competing emotions to make any coherent statement. So I'm going to do what I've done before, and use a selection of song lyrics to express my feelings on this -- both my birthday, today, and the 1-yr anniversary of the loss of my boy at the end of the week. Kind of traces my emotions from the beginning or our relationship, and the hesitancy he h

The Occasional rantings and ravings of Anita

Finally got back to writing.

So, I've finally made it. I'm back at the point where I manage to write. Over a period of about ten years, I got pulled further and further away from things that gave me inspiration to write. (or do anything creative for that matter) The reasons, may or may not be disclosed at a later time, but the gist of it is  that even if I didn't understand it at the time my life wasn't doing so good anymore. Top that with denial of being trans from way back when I was 10 or 12 years old. I b

Things Don't Always Work Out

Like the title says not all things in life work. It's a shame, but it's true.  My desire for our new boyfriend to become more in our little family didn't come to fruition. He decided it wasn't right for him and moved on. I've talked to him, but we'll leave it here for the moment.  All of this was hard on tim. Especially since he'd grown so close to Jim.  tim is willing to continue on this adventure - he has a big heart and wants to make me happy - but we will see.   I am awar

My Journey Begins

I created the world of Arcadia some time ago when I thought to myself--Hey, it would be great to have a story that makes people just as entertained as Game of Thrones, or Harry Potter or some other big story franchise.  That doesn't mean that I'm that great of a writer, or someone that could even achieve that standing in the writer world.  Believe me, I'm not cocky or arrogant when I say these things - I just say what I wanna say because I believe it. Do you believe in your dream?  I know a
