    Weekly Wrap Up (Sept. 15 - Sept. 21)

    By wildone

    First thing first, I really need anyone who is thinking to enter our yearly Anthology, please see Val's Thursday blog and if you fingers haven't started typing, get them going! As you read this, I am indisposed. Read into that what you want . But I'm up by a lake in the mountains looking at the colours change for fall.  So next week in the northern hemisphere, we flip into fall, autumn, whatever you like to call it. Down under the equator, they are about to hit spring   What is y

    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

Update: My Health And Writing Status

Hello everyone,   Sorry the reviews have been a bit slow in coming, and sorry to anyone who is still waiting on a response from me. There have been a few developments in my life recently which have impacted these things, and I'm going to lay them out as quickly as possible (because writing hurts). Health Issues:   My years of typing and playing video games have caught up to me at last. I have developed carpal tunnel in both wrists, though it is worse in my right hand. Although I acquired Dra

Incomplete Love

For Timmy, Emi and Mr. Benus:   Incomplete Love   All relationships are a work in progress, A building to be finished, an infinite mirror Beneath a starry sky. A battle between belief and reality, A compromise between expectation and evolution Between engagement and understanding. Experience vs. Emotion Broken crumbling pieces of self mixing Into happiness and grief and regrets Creating the mortar of us. Bricks and days And labours of indecisive Apollos' creating The walls of Troy only to be

Weekly Wrap Up (September 25 - October 1)

Wow, October 2nd already!!! Won't be long until the holidays arrive and we turn the pages to the new year.   This week we started off with C S R Discussion Day and Cia took the time to interview Puppilull and discuss her story Thaw. It is always interesting to see the responses to the hard hitting questions of Cia . The other great thing about C S R Discussion Day is that you the readers get a blog to discuss what is on your mind with the Author. We had a great discussion on Monday.   Wedne

Lucky 13

Today I've been clean & sober 13 years.   It's already been a great day.   My older brother had a scary serious medical incident this week and called me this morning to tell me he's OK.   I do hope that 13 continues to be lucky.

Second Chance Prompts #475, #477, #479, & #483

Occasionally I like to take a look in the prompt forum and see what prompts are lonely without any responses. Most of these are creative prompts. I re-feature these prompts and give them a second chance to be noticed. For the next couple of months, every other week is going to feature second chance prompts. The other weeks will give new prompts for you to take a stab at. Here's this week's second chance prompts, don't forget to share your links in the appropriate thread!!!! (I'll even link them

Skin Cancer

This morning I had a squamous cell carcinoma removed from my left ear by Mohs surgery. Since I'm allergic to all analgesics other than aspirin and the clinic I went to didn't prescribe a pain killer, I'm taking my aspirin and living with the pain. But, as the discharge paper said, it will get better day by day.   The next chapter of WWW is progressing. We may actually be coming to a finalization of the story.   319 is approaching an on hold status unless I can figure a way to get chapter 6 t

I Think I'm Human

Okay. People who know me, will usually say I'm a pretty nice guy.   At work, where I am in a customer service team-lead role, I'm a pretty nice guy. I put my customer's first, I listen well. I try to make things right for them while following the boundries set out by my employer.   I also cover our Click-to-Chat service. I'm sure people think their anonymity gives them right to talk to us like sub-humans, but mostly I ignore that. Usually. Most of the time.   However today, when a woman sa

September C S R Discussion Day: Thaw By Puppilull

Did you have a chance to read Puppilull's story, Thaw, for this month's CSR feature? I hope so!! I've asked her a few questions about herself, her writing, and the story itself so enjoy this month's interview and remember to share your thoughts about her story or the interview below.   What's your favorite room in your house? Do you plot or write there? I don’t really have a favorite room, unless you count the bedroom since sleeping is very nice. My stories are usually plotted in various plac

Weekly Wrap Up (September 18 - September 24)

Well, it's the end of the week and this one was a busy one. Just a reminder that tomorrow is the CSR Discussion Day for Thaw by Puppilull. If you haven't finished it yet, but wish to take part in the discussion day, you still have time! Also, we're only about a month away from the Fall Anthology deadline (October 28th), so start polishing up those stories and get them sent in to the Anthology Proof Team. Now, let's take a look at the busy week we had in the various GA News blogs!   September's

Not Posting In Pit Until Everything Is Over, Focus Priorities

I know, why am I giving up the ability to comment on an exciting period of time filled with every sort of trick and gaffe imaginable, quite frankly, I just feel like people perceives I am only in it for politics and debates. I am opinionated, I am strong willed, and I am aggressive in what I see as necessary and should be done, but that's who I am.   I've grown up on GA, through multiple boyfriends and multiple attempts to write new stories. I've seen many peers rise and disappear into the set

And I Don't Do Lonely Well

The husband leaves at 10am tomorrow morning. I have plans, I have friends coming to stay, I have my family and his family all telling me to come over whenever. I think they think it'll all be fine. I'll be busy, between the Goblin and the dog, we've a lot on. And I have work.   But I see the sunsets and the long nights ahead, and that's where being alone scares me a little bit. We haven't spent more than 5 nights alone in a decade, and he's going to be gone for three weeks. I'm not going prete

In Response

For Ben & Timmy:   Good poems frolic in the sun. They bring Arctic Lights to the barren tundra. They also manage to inundate the soils of Egypt and blow khamsins over the salt flats of Kutch in the very same day.   Good poems deserve a kiss and a wink.   23/09/2016 ©asamvav111

A Numbers Game

Yesterday I made a post on my message board and my site Facebook page because, dear reader, I'm angry with you. The numbers I am about to share, specifically, don't apply to GA—but you have just to look at the number of views for a story versus the number of reviews, as that seems to be the standard for contact on this site.   You know, reader, I'm a reasonably busy guy. I have a full time job, husband and all the bills that go with a home and a life. I have two kids full time with more than t

September Signature Excerpt: The Art Of Being Gay By Cole Matthews

Cole Matthews' The Art of Being Gay was Monday's Signature Feature. Did you grab your copy of the signature banner so you can share your love for Cole's story? If not, you can do that here! Today we're featuring his chosen excerpt.   Cole says... This excerpt gives you a glimpse at the tone and character of the story. It's a comedy, a farce really, and also gives the reader some of Roy's attributes. This segment also shows how Roy may not think he's ready to date, but fate really doesn't care

Pup Play Education Lesson

A key piece on the nature of Pup Play: -Pup play is not S&M/Sadism&Masochism, yes there is leather, leashes, and collars, but a pup is not a punishment object, he's your animistic partner and when you guys play, it's for fun not pain.   As gay writers, we do write scenes of exotic sex, but I also feel obligated to give people some pointers and good advice if they want to re-enact a werewolf story of an Alpha and his Beta lover. I haven't written a werewolf story in quite a while, but t

I've Been Away For A Long Time...

In my last blog, I wrote about witnessing a young girl commit suicide in front of me by jumping in front of a train. I knew it affected me, but it did more damage than I thought. There are days when I don't dream about it, and those are the good days. I need to go back a few years to explain why my depression came on so slowly that I didn't realize I was depressed.   I had thyroid cancer almost ten years ago, which led to me having a complete thyroidectomy.

September's Signature Feature: The Art Of Being Gay By Cole Matthews

September's Signature Feature is The Art of Being Gay by Cole Matthews. This story came about because Cole was wondering what it was like for middle-aged guys struggling with these questions. He wanted the story to be organic, fresh, and not planned, so he posted each chapter as it was written, using the feedback from readers to influence each chapter.     Length: 83,473   Description: Chad was outed, his life in shambles. His son, Justin, was his only lifeline to happiness. Roy h

Melancholy ... the broken staff of life

Depression, Bob Dylan, And The Future

I really don’t know where this is going. I’m out of words to put into my current stories and so I resort to listening to music. My choice tonight is Bob Dylan. I could have chosen The Beatles, Eric Clapton, or The Travelling Wilburys, but I didn’t. I’m not really into modern music because there seems to be no logic to the available choices. Music can go only so far until it starts to repeat itself.   If anything, I’m at a loss to what might happen in the future. My only point of reference at t

In case you haven't guessed it yet, Renee is still away . If she isn't back soon we might have to send out a search party. Both Cia and I are exhausted with picking up her slack   So here is what happened this past week.   Monday, we usually would have a story featured in the Featured Story blog. This week, Cia gave us some insight though a review by Aditus on Mikesboy's poetry for NaPoWriMo. This appeared to be a great success as there is 2 pages of comments left for the feature. It is go
