The G. M. Os. Chapter 2

Chapter 2 - The Temple has been published. It's the first chapter of a new protagonist, Li, who is very much into meditation. I was also very much into meditation when I was studying esoteric religion. It was fun and gave me a peaceful attitude in life. Later, when I was very much into evangelical Christianity I went back to meditating on what I was reading. It helped. Of course all of that was long ago, but the memories remain. So, I gave Li a little project. Later in the book, Li will have

Oops!

As luck would have it, I screwed up and tried to accept Microsoft’s offer of OneDrive. What a stupid thing that was. I couldn’t remember my password, and then I couldn’t remember the answers to all of the questions they asked to verify my identity. So they locked me out of my account and now I can’t send out any chapters of The G.M.Os. to get proofed. Plus, I had already sent one out one and was waiting for it to come back. So, I’m stuck for the next while or so. With help from an Admin, I w

Star Wars Episode 7 Force Awakens (No Spoilers)

That was AWESOME! Seriously, they pulled all the stops, we got to seeold favorites and new faces with great backstories and mysterious pasts. I was scared JJ Abrams couldn't handle this franchise, but I was wrong, he did it well and added some fun plot points. When Han Solo (Harrison Ford) came back on the Millennium Falcon, a round of applause came from everyone in the theater. I think everyone appreciates George Lucas as the founder and creator of Star Wars Franchise, but his prequels

Cbdt Chapter 10 (2 More Chapters Then Hiatus Break)

https://www.gayauthors.org/story/w-l/0sand1scbdt/12 The plot thickens; the relationship between Hunter and Kevin is complicated to say the least. There is definitely romantic and sexual tension, but losing a lover is not something you can get away from easily, nor is a Nervous breakdown really a great start of a romance. I am being realistic with the two of them, if they do form a lasting bond eventually, it will have to be done through a long drawn out process of soul searching. As for

Miracle On 34Th Street 1947 (Non-Lgbt Movie Review)

Why do I consider this movie to be one of the best Christmas movies ever made? Simple, in a society that has become so cynical and hopeless, it is a refreshing reminder that the world can surprise you. Faith is something this movie transfers in a non-religious way to conceptual reality. If a man says, he's Santa Claus, we would likely say he's insane. We're a society in doubt and denial against faith in a positive aspect of the world and mankind's capability to be better than what we are tod

Working Title: Contract Lovers

Seems I’m on a creative wave and I don’t want to get off. Wrote the outline—which is something of an exception to my normal writing technique—today, including naming the protagonist (Jacobus or Jac), childhood friends (best friend until death is Laconus or Lac), primary friends, secondary friends, lovers, and lovers under contract. The span of the story will be from age 5 to death at 106. To the best of my chemically fuzzy memory, this will be the first time I’ve tried to write something in

The New Book, The End

Finally! The end has come. The GMOs ends at Chapter 17. There are no more words to add. Difficult chapter, death, evil, marriage, commitment, and children. Pending revisions, the story ends at 112,301 words. Soon, to a computer near you, The GMOs presents a world controlled by robots where humans are treated not much better than cargo as their spaceship heads out into the heavens looking for an acceptable planet for the humans to colonize. There will be crime, prisons, gay id

Christmas Special One Man's Worth

First In case you guys didn't read Chapter 9, which I posted yesterday on regular schedule, here's a link Now, here's One Man's Worth Link and a little background: This story is set 2 weeks after Chapter 12, so there are a few spoilers. The inspiration for this Christmas Special came from two sources: One Man's Worth is the title of X-Men TAS Cartoon and Comic Book about the death of Professor Xavier causing a horrible future to be fixed by "Bishop", a mutant time traveler.

The New Book, Part 16

Once again things didn’t turn out as planned. I wanted Chapter 16 to deal with the marriage of two characters but that was thwarted by bureaucratic rigamarole. Then, where to go from there? So, my original plan was to add a new character to the current core group in Chapter 17. Well, the way it worked out was that the protagonist from Chapter 1 is the addition. This character brings a whole new set of problems—what would a story be without problems—and as it worked out, he fit perfectly into

Cbdt Chapter 9

https://www.gayauthors.org/story/w-l/0sand1scbdt/10 Did you think I forgot about Kevin or his crush on Hunter? If I mentioned it in Chapter 3, I will not forget it even in Chapter 9 (Hmm...3x3 = 9, is that a math reference, a religious reference to "3" by WL, or just a coincidence ) It's been one sided love of course, but what great love isn't one sided to begin with. Before we get to love, let's talk about loss; Hunter has lost a major battle against his foes and the walls are sta

The New Book, Part 15

Finished Chapter 15 last night. Good thing I have a great selection of music to listen to because on Tuesday and Wednesday this chapter was difficult to write. Two suicide episodes were just a bit tragic and tough to put down. Then, there was the end to write, which ultimately turned into a surprise, happy event. Nothing like death and sex to get things bubbly. Did a bit of Excel boo-boos on reporting the results of the last chapter. The total word count now equals 97,354 and the projected 2
