Why I Wrote Last Run To Mosul?

I am post timing this blog entry to coincide with Secret Admirer contest, I don't expect to win, but if I did I am really grateful to all the readers that chose my story, despite how different it is from my writing style.   So the big question for all the readers, why did I write a story like this? It's so tragic, so detailed and impact with a subject matter that is definitely Left of even Bernie Sanders , and holds a lot of questions about the nature of national principles versus geopolitica

First Light

Cape Verde, Oregon 2019 July 04 1300 PST   What had once been on old barn was completely unrecognizable. Scientific instruments of all descriptions surrounded a concrete vault called the pit.   The pit contained the equipment to make the experiment work. It also protected the human participants in the experiment with a foot of lead and six feet of hardened concrete. Once it was sealed, it could only be viewed by remote cameras in the control room above.   The vapor of condensation washed o

Through A Glass, Darkly

Through a Glass, Darkly   General George S. Patton, Jr.   Through the travail of the ages, Midst the pomp and toil of war, I have fought and strove and perished Countless times upon this star.   In the form of many people In all panoplies of time Have I seen the luring vision Of the Victory Maid, sublime.   I have battled for fresh mammoth, I have warred for pastures new, I have listed to the whispers When the race trek instinct grew.   I have known the call to battle In each changeles

Depakote Blues

It's only been just over a week on 1500 mg of Depakote and that old, familiar feeling has come back. You could say I feel like I was taking 2 mg of Risperidone and 1000 mg of Depakote, but it's different than that. There's no energy, zero, zilch. There's nothing there. It's like being in a warm pool of salt water. You just float there without a current to move you along. You're going nowhere and there's nothing to stop you from getting there.   Yesterday I wrote 3,000 words, but it was mostly

Super Bowl L Impressions

The hoopla the NFL concocts around the championship game saved the day. The contest itself was mediocre. An overconfident young quarterback was hammered in a way he hadn't been all year, by the end you could tell he had given up. Who doesn't jump on a ball after a fumble?   Payton Manning should retire while on top. He's still a force to contend with at his age, but his best days are over. Remind me again why the Colts released him when they did? The man won his 200th game, more than any other

I Quit

Some times we have take decisions which will more effect us than others. As well as some times they affect our life, our self respect and our personal life too.   I took new job in the aspects of unnecessary terms. I took it to prove that I am not nothing. But there I faced some obstacles which I never expected.   My own friends turned against me. They blamed me. And they broke my trust. Yeah I over reacted. Over expected. But I'll turn anything to prove myself as worthy, honesty and respect

Have You Ever Had A Strong Desire To Save A Character From His Author?

It's a taboo among writers, which I understand. We respect one another ability and respect our works mutually   Still, recently, I came upon a story that I was so angry at and so desperately desiring to change the fate of its protagonist that I wanted to ask the author if he would allow me to do a sequel based on his work, which has been in limbo for years. I haven't done it, because part of me doesn't want to desecrate the author's work, but on another level I don't like seeing a character be

Completing My First Story

Wow. Earlier today I posted chapter 18 of The Last Out, which is amazingly the final chapter of the story I've spun around Devin and Alex. I'm writing this and it feels surreal to me to have finished it (again, actually) and to have it published on a site like Gay Authors. I can't help but think 'what a strange, magical journey this story and I have gone on together'. The Last Out was never meant to be published. Not originally anyways. This was meant to be a guilty pleasure and escape, somethin

Me Before You Movie Trailer

The trailer for Me Before You just dropped...it's pretty good. If you're not familiar with the story, it's based on a book written by JoJo Moyes. It focuses on a young woman from a small town who becomes a hired caregiver to a recently-disabled man. It stars Emilia Clarke (Games of Thrones) and Sam Claflin (The Hunger Games). Here's the trailer:     I read the book once for a library book club...it was a pretty engrossing read. The set-up seems like an insipid romantic dramedy, but it m

The Fall Of The Consolidated Federation And Reconstruction

Pelenor City Nakajima Corporate Headquarters   The new acting CEO of Nakajima Transstellar Noburo Sato sat at a much diminished table. An entirely new board and corporate officers had been chosen to save the company.   Sato had arrived at the meeting as the director of Nakajima Shipyards. His distance from anything even remotely untoward in the recent hostilities had propelled him to the CEO’s chair; now one of the hottest seats in the Alliance.   Sato asked the new Chief Financial Office

The Storm Passeth Away

For the optimist, all bad things do tend to fade away. I've gone from normal thru suicidal and back to some semblance of normal in three long weeks.   Although mental stability has regained a footing, I don't feel I'm completely out of the woods. I would like to get back to writing, but that doesn't seem to be in the cards right now, which is okay because I have a lot of material to post on The G.M.Os. and, now, Remembering Tim.   Right now I'm reading my old stuff and works by other authors

Updates And Randomness

today was fun and amusing. on this site for a few days, and already making mistakes, lol. ADD and writing always make a fun mix. I have quit a few projects saved on this site already, just not any that were set to be published. talk about amusing and embarrassing when you get an email about something being denied for publishing for whatever reason and not realizing you had clicked to publish rather then save to finish later. at least on the fun side I did actually publish a piece of work that I

February C S R Feature: The Holly And The Ivy By Aditus

February is a month for romance! Many people, even if they aren't part of a couple, really associate this month above all with love and devotion--or overpriced chocolate treats and sappy cards. I wanted to keep with the romance theme, but I didn't want to take readers through a run of the mill romance, not at all. That's why this month, we're featuring an alternate earth tale with aliens and vampires. Enjoy!!   The Holly and the Ivy by Aditus   Length: 45,321   Descriptio
