Melancholy ... the broken staff of life

The New Book, Part R.1

Revision day on the book. Chapters 1 through 4 received major proofreading, correctioning, and a bit of revising. Major revision was the title of the book. It started out to be GMMOs because at the time I came up with it there was real meaning to the letters, but now I can't remember what the second M is supposed to be, so the book is now titled The GMOs. I'm sure everyone knows what that means.   I admit it, I have a problem with tenses. Went through Chapters 1, 2, and 3 looking for 'ings' th

Weekly Wrap Up!

Oops! It seems like last night I was a bit spacey and forgot to do the weekly wrap up before I went to bed. Guess it's better late than never, right? Even though it's not in the blog directly, in this weeks wrap up, I want to include the opportunity for promotional posts. For more information on this opportunity, check out this post: Authors: New Blog Promo Opportunities!   On Monday, Cia posted the newest CSR introduction to the CSR Book Club. This month, it looks like we'll be reading A Resc

The New Book, Part 4B, And 5

I’ve decided to end Chapter 4 at 4,064 words. I’m sure there will be more with revision, but there just doesn’t seem to be anywhere to go further than when two 11 year-old girls admit not to have feelings toward each other. You just can’t go any further. It’s an important point in life. You have to stop a chapter somewhere and those two came to an end. Well, not totally. They have a full life ahead of them, if the bots or the hazards of living don’t get them first. They will be back in future ch

The New Book, Part 4A

What a day!   The neighbor’s Weimaraner got out of its run, again, and was terrorizing the neighborhood. It’s basically a very nice dog, but just a little timid and, of course, dumb as a door nail, but it’ll crap in the most inconvenient place, like our front yard.   Rambo was having a total fit whenever he caught sight of the other dog. For two long hours, Rambo ran from one window to the next trying to see where the dog had gotten to, twice knocking over his water bowl. He got so foamy at

Cbdt Chapter 4

https://www.gayauthors.org/story/w-l/0sand1scbdt/5   How are secrets kept in the real world? The answer from WL, they're not. The modern world is so stuffed with information outlets from 24 hour TV News, streaming videos of private citizens, blog entries like this, and even old fashioned paper mediums. However, secrets can be compartmentalized, each piece revealed and opened up as needed to achieve a certain goal. If I were running the CIA, it would be the most logical way to keep secrecy in a

The New Book, Part 3

Two days, 5,313 words, and Chapter 3 is over. Ended with new found love and a marriage. Oooh, so mushy-mushy.   Total word count thru 3 chapters is 16,110.   As I’ve said before, this is going just swimmingly.   If I could get some sleep this could go even better.   Chapter 4 starts out with Sister Angelina of the chromed rod and wooden ruler. Sounds absolutely peachy! Though, there will be a happy surprise.   Originally thought to use Sister Angelica as the evil nun, but I Googled tha

The New Book, Part 2

Well, actually, it’s going swimmingly.   Yesterday I worked on Chapter 3, section 2, and it went better than expected. It just didn’t seem to want to end. It’s mostly dialogue. It’s a party, a barbecue, steaks. There’s a problem on the commune that needs to be solved and the initial six partiers are trying to come to terms with their new situation. Then four new characters show up, which causes just a bit of consternation for the first six.   In the end, there were over 1,800 words. Just whe

Why Do I Feel So Bad....

Today I was having a conversation with a co-worker who work in Minneapolis (about 4 hours away). She started talking all dark and about how she didn't want to live anymore and how she was done with our team and the company we work for.   I got really scared for her and went to my local HR person and talked with her and shared the text messages that were traded. I landed up talking to her HR counter part in MPLS and provided her the documentation plus some other things my friend had told me.

The Book And Life

This morning I finished Chapter 2 of the new book. Remarkably, it has an ending slightly similar to Chapter 1, though without the mushy-mushy part.   Right now, the plan is to have a number of characters solo in their first chapter; then come together and separate (or stay together) in subsequent chapters. The bot situation on Hercules III is a little different than the previous book, which has a lot to do with how they have an impact on human life.   One aspect of the new order is the diffe

Weekly Wrap Up!

So have you woken up today with a candy hangover? Or worse, for those of age, a real hangover from partying too much? Well time to pack away the ghosts, goblins, ghouls, and drama queens (like that will happen ).   We had a little different week here at the GA news blog for this most festive weeks of the year.   Monday saw our monthly CSR Discussion Day. This month we not only had 1, not 2, but 3 stories, hahahaha (done in my best Count voice). Three stories were up for the month to be read

His Casual Acquaintance- A Halloween Story

Awhile back, a fellow GA member told me the story of a party buddy he used to have, and a curiosity surrounding him late one summer that still gives him chills to this day. Here's the story:   His Casual Acquaintance   When Greg was in his teens, he went to high school in the South. It was the early 1970's, and his hair was long- all the way to the back. Back then, having long hair meant that you smoked pot. At least the old folks thought you did, anyway. It was a sign that you weren't willi

0's And 1's: Cbdt Chapter 3 Lives

https://www.gayauthors.org/story/w-l/0sand1scbdt/4   I hope sincerely that people, who thought I only dabble in writing are now seeing that I am laying groundwork in an expansive story. I want to write a story that does not just sit in one place and tells a story from one perspective. I want my characters to be smart, but ignorant of certain facts at different times.   In this chapter Hunter wakes up from a wild night of drinking and partying, he doesn't know where he wakes up and when he fi

Writing Prompts Second Chance #270 & #271

Hi Everyone   Turns out that I'm helping out in a pinch with this weeks Prompt Me! blog entry.

My First - And Perhaps Last - Blog

How to write a blog? I've no idea, since this is my first try. I've looked at a few blogs written by other GA members, and I don't think I could come up with anything remotely resembling the interesting, funny or cool entries of other people. In any case I don't have much to say, and I certainly don't expect anyone to pay a lot of attention. Except my GA friends who're kind, supportive and wonderful. You know who you are. My main reason for creating a blog and making an entry is to compi

Withdrawing The Anchor

My heart was broken yesterday.   Does that sound a tad cliche?   Perhaps it is, but not to me,   For now my love will never be.   But in the silence of the night,   I contemplate my common plight,   And now, quite plainly, I can see,   That in the breaking, I am free.   Yesterday, I learned something about a friend of mine. She is in love with someone; a person whom I do not know, but who has been in her life for some time. There was

The New Novella Or More

I’m still riding the high wave of mania. That’s okay if one can channel the extra energy into some purposeful task. I finished the first draft of Chapter 1 of the new book yesterday morning. I’ll need a week or so to give it a number good reads looking for those errors that hide from your eyes. Having had a number of different keyboarding jobs in the past (word processing and typesetting), it’s not surprising that their are always a number of works that come out rong.

Cbdt Characters: Hunter Douglas

Just like DVD commentaries, you guys get to hear me talk about the characters and what went into their development.   Hunter was the 2nd Character I created for this story (The first character is going to show up in chapter 3).   He's my ideal of what the future of LGBT movement will evolve into; he is a cross between Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, and Leonardo Da Vinci.   Imagine if one day, a gay teenager invents a massively popular App, then he uses his success and keeps inventing until h

Shrink Time And An Introduction To Iterations

I went to the shrink last week. I wanted to discuss the problems I was having with getting and staying asleep. It seems the VA hospital in Seattle came up an instruction booklet for older adults to acquire proper sleep habits. Starting off with going to be at the same time every night then getting up at the same time the following morning.   Since my son turns the TV off at 1:30 a.m., that is my scheduled bedtime; 9:30 is the time I’m supposed to get up. The TV is distracting so it delays the

I just wanted to share this with you all. My mom subscribes for a weekly magazine I generally steal away for a couple of hours it to read about the sex Q/A. You know, the kind of one where couples send questions to a sexologist and he/she answers them. You can just call it a guilty pleasure or a pet peeve or whatever. I find it entertaining to read about the kind of problems straight couples face regarding sex This week I read something that made me think now that's rare ....okay the que
