    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

The Altitude Of Love

The Altitude of Love   maybe it's something more than faith... beyond mere heartbeats and belief... maybe this love is an absolute. I want it to be.   I feel you so near to me all the time I can see how it's already a conclusion and not a supposition. I need it to be.   those are the things I mean when I say "I love you."

A Farewell To Arms

WARNING: This article contains crud humor. If you have not read The Atlantic online article, “The Coddling of the American Mind”, or if you do not enjoy crud humor, please leave now. You have been warned!   On Monday afternoon I tripped coming up the stairs to the front deck resulting in a full header onto the deck. I have a hard lump on my left eyebrow, a colorful left eyelid and surrounding tissue, and, to make matters worse, both wrists are seriously sprained.   When my son came home from

Pre And Post Of Chapter 2 - 'a Letter By Francis'

When I was writing the first chapter of 'Suicide Note', it just came out like that according to the circumstances. Coming to continuing the story I stuck there. I don't know how to start and how to involve all new and existing characters into this platform. That's where I think a lot and finally I got what to write. The whole picture was displayed on my mind's imaginary screen.   Now coming to what to write first, I thought about it too. That's when it struck that I don't have to write about D

Becoming A Gentleman

A fine read and bit of instruction for anyone in need of addressing one's own lack of civility or in imparting such civility upon one's distinguished characters from their tales. This book is the standard of every man who wished to comport themselves as a gentleman of distinction in English High Society.   The Gentlemen's Book of Etiquette, and Manual of Politeness:   http://www.gutenberg.org/files/39293/39293-h/39293-h.htm

The Future... Starting From The Inside.

We need to reestablish the family. We need to put it once again in the center of our hearts. We need to prioritize the bonds that link us, prioritize the hugs that bring us together, prioritize the tenderness that makes us love each other, prioritize compassion against an impersonal world that negotiates everything, that corrupts everything. I’m willing to compromise, that’s why today I told my parents about that part of me that has been hiding for so long. We need to start the change in society

Did I Ever Mention To You All That I Let Two Homeless Guys Stay Over Winter?

I realized while answering Method's blog that I never told you guys the story of last Winter's guests. Last year during the worst Blizzard in the history of New England, I let two homeless guys stay in my house. The first question in your mind maybe, Is WL crazy? Then, the second question, Were they hot?   To answer your questions, No, I am quite sane if a bit soft hearted. As for hotness, one was around my age with a cute/shy demeanor and another was in his 50's who kept saying thank you eve

C S R Discussion Day: The Rainy Day By Graeme

Graeme's The Rainy Day is the CSR feature for September. I asked Graeme a series of questions about his time on GA and his story, which, considering the story is from a past anthology was kinda tricky of me. I hope you'll enjoy learning more about Graeme and his writing. He is a busy man, but he will be "live" on the site at 6 PM his time zone, which is 10 PM Pacific and 1 AM Eastern. For our night owls, YAY, and for the rest, make sure you add your questions beforehand so he can answer them the

Creepy Lady At 2:30 A.m. In The Morning

I'm a 29-year old male from the East Coast. Tonight, I went out to my favorite bar to listen to my favorite cover band.   On my way back home, I stopped at a local bank which has a drive through with an ATM. It's located at a blue-collar shopping center in the middle of a very busy highway in the suburbs, although being almost 3 a.m. it was empty. I wanted to deposit some money in my bank account to make an insurance payment.   While I was getting my money together, some lady walked up to th

Cbdt Reveal: Inspirations

After finishing the 1st half, I just realized how much other writers have influenced me, in particular two on GA.   C James, you are the most fun technical guy I have ever had the chance to read. Your nuclear thrillers and your serial novel "Circumnavigation" inspired me to create CBDT: Cyber Bullying Defense Team. In terms of themes, we're similar, but different in terms of our style and genre environment, but I consider you as a primary inspiration. I also think the idea of a long serial nov

Cia gives some great tips on how to search for your story to make sure it's not posted anywhere that

Reddit Story- Woman Strikes Up A Friendship With A Guy That Tried To Rob Her

I found this entry on Reddit's OffMyChest sub, and I thought it was a great story.   I Just Went On A Date With A Guy Who Tried to Rob Me   Of course, it could be entirely made up, but sometimes the truth really is stranger than fiction.   If this ever turns romantic, that'd be one hell of a story for your grandkids.   I do like to believe in the power of redemption and the innate goodness of people, and this story illustrates it well. The guy wanted to rob her, but as soon as she starte

Writing Prompts #448 & #449

Hello again. If I am the one here you know it is Friday again! Friday, Friday, Friday ... drats. Someday I will get that song out of my head. Oh well.   Since it is that day of the week I get to challenge you all to a new set of prompts. One of them might finally convince you to sit down and write, or decide it is time for a break from your usual story and try something new and different. Either way, I hope one of these two prompts grabs your attention and makes you want to write. Just remembe

Update: 2Nd Week

Monday is deemed to be the worst day of the week. Mine was especially horrible. I was called by the deputy dean and was given a penalty for not going to last week's stupid activity. I was told to once again, collect 20 signatures from my batch mates and also my seniors of year 2 to 5, plus all the nursing students from year 1 to 3. I was so pissed and I felt like I was being bullied, when I refused bullying. Last Saturday's activity was not only a complete waste of time, but it to me, it actuall

The Ugly P Word

Which P word? Well it be similar to the way I stole that title from a Skype conversation with Wildone... Figured it out yet?   Plagiarism.   Yep, a thief struck again. I'm sure many of you remember my rant from a few weeks ago about how one of my stories, and 6 other authors' works were plagiarized on another site. A conversation ensued about how to protect your work, as an author, but I never had a chance to post it officially on the site. Well, this time we had a thief try to post their st

Cbdt Reveal: My New Take On Sex (I Am Going With It)

Well, the first 2 chapters are pretty tame, they are harmless in terms of sexual content, but Chapter 3 will start a new trend for me. I know I am not one of the most well known writers for mature content, nor is this story meant to be completely mature, but I think by the end of the 1st half with Chapter 12, you will see that I have changed as a writer.   Sex for my characters follows patterns of need, patterns of release. There is revelation to be found in sex, ideas are expressed about Homo

Me: Mum, guess what? Google has a new logo. Mum: That really is so interesting Jordan. Mum: It's really going to affect the way I live my life. Mum: I'm going to wake up every morning and my first thought will be of Google's new logo. Mum: Thank you for sharing that valuable information with me. Me: You could've just said you didn't care.

A Big Disease With A Little Name

In 1988 it was a death sentence. Everyone was afraid. If you want to know what it was like, this episode of the original 21 Jump Street did a very good job setting the mood.   Thank your lucky stars that you don't have to be afraid to find random friends and acquaintances in the obituaries- every frikkin day.   There are some that say that we will look back and be thankful that the AIDS crisis galvanized the gay community and brought us together like never before. We will be thankful that we

Sex And Literary Relativism

Since we have a Soapbox now for controversial political issues, I will only use my Blog for literary stuff and reviews, along with announcement for Cyber-Bullying Defense Team related story material, once I publish on October 23rd 2015.   So let's start with a topic that writers and readers have debated internally and vocally (at least in the past): What are the rules for sex? How old should your characters be if they form relationships or have sex in stories? What is the line between a story

Once Upon A Time

So as my little status update said, 'lil q will be 4 soon. Where did the time go? Where does my time go??   Despite the best laid plans (or is it overly optimistic expectations) I find I can not do all the things I used to do before she was born. I've finally given up on the notion that 'once she gets to "X" age, I'll finally have more free time again. That's a myth. I'll have my free time back when she goes to college perhaps, or when I retire, which ever comes first.   I'm not complaining,

Random Cute Guy- Anthony Ingruber

Did anyone else catch the movie The Age of Adaline? (It's a movie where Gossip Girl's Blake Lively is a woman who has been stuck as a 29-year old for almost 80 years after getting struck by lightning.) This newcomer named Anthony Ingruber did a VERY credible portrayal of a young version of Harrison Ford's character, and he looked cute as hell doing it:     He runs a YouTube channel where he posted his celebrity impressions, and h attracted the interest of the casting directors for the mo
