I Just Won Volunteer Of the Year at My Museum

We had our opening today and I got named Volunteer of the Year. Pretty proud of that. I have a plaque and everything. Nice cap to 5 years of service to them this May.   The immature, spiteful part of me wants to snap a photo of my plaque and send it in an email to the archives that canned me as a intern 4 years ago with the capture, "Fuck you", but gladly I've learned a lot in the past few years.   It's been a pretty gratifying experience in general. Volunteer work can really

The Filly by Mark R. Probst

So I have the paperback version of this book.  I found it while re-organizing my mancave's closet.    I enjoyed this book when I read it.  I think it's worth a read.  You don't see too many gay westerns.  Check it out.

Writing Prompts.... Oopsie

Well... as the title of this blog says, OOPSIE!  I didn't realize that I was out of prompts, so didn't send to @comicfan to get new ones!  Since I forgot, I decided to go through and pick a few recent ones that showed zero responses in the forum.   Creative     First Line     Word List     So there you go!  Hopefully I'll have some new prompts for you next week!

Razer Chroma Keyboard

I'll be in the market for a new keyboard soon, as the one I'm using to write this is very well worn.  I've worn away the letters on about 10 keys and I'm looking to get a replacement from a different manufacturer.   The settable LED lights appeal to my geekdom.   Of course... this keyboard also ties in with Hue, which I'm deploying all over the place.

Ask an Author 2.0 - #6

And we’re back. Sometimes I wish a few of my favorite GA authors were still around. I have questions about what inspired them to write a particular story, how they decided on locations, or even how they settled on a character’s name. Unfortunately, those I’d most be interested in asking aren’t around these days. Will you face the same regrets I do in a couple of years? Think of one of our new hotshot writers and send me a question. I’ll get it answered and we can all learn a bit more about

Fast then slow

For those that don't follow me on a regular basis, I have been pushing myself to write despite a badly sprained wrist for the past 3+ weeks. I wear a splint day and night and have to have assistance with the craziest simple things like putting socks on or even picking up anything over 2 lbs.  I was diagnosed with carpal tunnel at 18 yrs old, but a night of overzealous knitting pushed it over the edge, and I'm still paying for it.   That said, I was able to finish a story in two months time

Tech Tuesday - Other Social Media

I've completed my move, but my life is in boxes and I'm actively digging out.  I am keeping it short this week and hoping to resume longer posts next week.   If you have not already signed up for our weekly newsletter, you should. Cia likes to sneak surprises in from time to time. You can find it here: http://eepurl.com/cqQPIz   We also have a YouTube Channel, which I have placed a number of "How To" videos.  Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/user/GayAuthors

Monthly Week Night Rendezvous

You know what comes with age?  Silver highlight on your hair and hard of hearing.  Which I am sure are what most people referring to as wisdom and grace.  This year, I am turning Four-Zero, and I will become a legend because my sexlessness seems to inspire a movie.   In any case, what also comes with age is the fact you began to see how history repeats itself again and again (ad nauseam).  When young folks were only starting to be disgusted by human nature for the first time around, I

Remembering Ripley

Remembering Ripley   I know. I wrote about him last year at this time. He's been gone for nearly two years and frankly I don’t think I'll ever really get over him.   I won't do it again next year.   I didn’t know him as a puppy but Michael did, of course. I’ve seen pictures of him then, more apricot than white. He was a cross breed, yes a mutt, but he was mostly poodle.   I’ve been told he was a cheeky pup, loved to run around, nip (often and hard, my b

Starting the New Chapter in Life

Well.  Here I am.  I've finished off my two weeks at my last job.  Saying goodbye to the great people I worked with was hard.  I did that on Friday.  I finished packing and moving Saturday.  (and did 13,600 steps before taking off the Fitbit...).  Sunday was Easter with the family and now I'm looking at the giant pile of boxes and furniture and trying to figure out how all that stuff fit in my old place and will fit here at home. I've known this was coming for awhile, of course.  I built my

The Prestige

So, this week for my Monday movie mania, I thought I'd stick with a Christopher Nolan movie and recommend the Prestige.   This movie was great.  It has a few good twists.     I think I might pick up a copy in Blu-ray as I have on DVD.

No Fooling Around

It's the first of April. And I'm too uptight to pull pranks. So, here's news you can believe in.    At 12 noon Central Standard Time, the first chapter of new story will be published.   New to GA that is.   If you've read my blog entry  or if you've read You'll already know what I'm going to tell you. "You're not the One, Neo." XD   Sorry, sorry. That's not it. "There is no spoon." NO! That's not it either,   "The cake is a lie,"  No,
