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

The Wisdom of M

Brandon Bitner

For me, story research on the Internet often invokes whisperings and promptings from those in spirit. This sweet soul led me to his story. His final wish was that his story be told so that others could avoid his fate by stopping the cruel torment of bullies.   I encourage you to explore the world of Brandon Bitner, a beautiful child who fled from this world to escape his tormentors. Share his story if you are so inclined. He will love that you would do this for him and his memory.   http://w

2015 Winter Anthology: Blackout * Now Live *

It's hard to believe that the year is almost over! With the end of the year comes our final 2015 Anthology. The theme for the Winter Anthology was Blackout, and ten authors took the challenge. There are some different takes to the stories and we hope that you enjoy them. Don't forget, if you enjoy a story, leave the author a little note (via review) to let them know how much you appreciate their work! To get you started, here's a brief snippet of each entry. Happy reading everyone!

Melancholy ... the broken staff of life

The New Book, Part 14

Okay!   Need a new character?   Well, create one. Give him a trade, a living situation, a tragic event, rejection, and finally, the chance for love.   Chapter 14 came in at almost 7,000 words, on track to exceed 100,000 words in 20 chapters. But, maybe, I’ll just stop when I hit 100,000.   At this point, there is only one, maybe, two characters that are coming to the commune. Definitely one. Haven’t decided on the other.   Chapter 15 will deal with suicide and possibly a wedding (or, m

Melancholy ... the broken staff of life

The New Book, Parts 11, 12, And 13

As has oft' been said, “The best laid plans of mice and men . . .”   Well, I had plans for Chapters 11, 12, and 13, but things went awry. As often happens with my writing, the characters generally lead the story. So, in this case, Chapters 11, 12, and 13 cover the same characters over a four day period and, since they totaled over 20,000 words, there was only one thing to do, break it into three pieces.   As I had it planned two protagonists meet on the first day at a university when they we

Welcome To December

Just wanted people to know I am alive. My computer died and while saving to get another have had a few issues.   While I did do a story for the anthology I just have no way to type it up and get it done. This will be the first anthology since I joined that I haven't done. When I get my computer I will do it anyway.   For those who haven't gotten a Christmas card, I'm sorry. Most of my addresses were saved on my computer and when it died so did my list. I am hoping to get things together but

The New Book, Part 10

Chapter 10 is in the bag with 6,902 words. Two days, 6,902 words, just a bit too much. I watched an interview quite a while ago of an author who only wrote no more than 1,500 words a day. I’m definitely exceeding that rule, but as I’ve said before, this is a good story with a good set of characters who work well together, sometimes. Chapter 10 is one of those heartwarming stories. This book has a lot of those.   Coming up, Chapter 11 will concern a young girl who leaves her boyfriend and goes

The New Book, Part 9

Chapter 9 is in the can at nearly 6,500 words. As luck would have it, Chapter 8 and Chapter 9 are now connected as Part 1 and 2 of the same story with a set of antagonists that in many ways are worse than the established antagonists on the ship. They are a group that is so evil they will go to any possible extent to eliminate those who they consider defective or a threat to their existence. Yes, I play the hate card, again.   If this book goes to twenty chapters it’s on course to come in at ov

Circle Of Life: Lion Guard Review (Non-Lgbt Show)

Before I do a write up for CBDT, I want to have some fun and do a review of a kid show that I caught by accident.   Caught the tail end of Lion Guard earlier this week, then found it on demand for free on my Digital Cable.   For those who do not watch Kid shows for nostalgia (How many of these shows are actually throwbacks to our generation's childhood, Millennials Rule! ) Lion Guard is the new Disney animated spin-off to Lion King movies.   Yes, you can enjoy the show without being a kid

Melancholy ... the broken staff of life

The New Book, Part 8

Well, Chapter 8 is now in the folder. It needs a few revisions and proofs, but it’s fairly well established as it is. Unfortunately, it came in at over 7,000 words. But, I can’t see any way to stretch it out to 10,000 so I could split it in two. So, I guess I’ll just have to live with a long chapter.   One thing about this chapter, though, there is a storyline that can be established for a future chapter. I could’ve done it now, but it would be better to do it later because of the nature of an
