Favorite Songs

I’ve been thinking of writing a blog entry on a few of the songs I find interesting, so I think it’s time (now that I’m feeling somewhat manic/mostly depressed) to discuss these songs. (Research from Wikipedia)   Let’s do them alphabetical (by artist) just to make it easy.   First off is Alanis Morissette’s, “You Oughta Know.” It’s a rather troubling song about a failed relationship that seemingly went terribly wrong. Now, the jilted girl is asking her former lover if his new love will measu

Nostalgia And The Best Of Wishes

So, this is a song that makes my heart ache in that way that makes you nostalgic, and happy too. My happy blog post after my birthday. This year, there was no large celebration, but a gentle day with friends and family. Smiles, encouragement, and even wishes of love and happy birthday from friends and family I hadn’t talked to in so long. It was a nostalgic kind of birthday. So, I dedicate this song to all of them, for making me love them all the more, even when they’re far from me. (Some lyrics

Rambo, my son’s GSD (as distinguished from an original German shepherd; you know, the dude or dudette (Mary, Mary, quite contrary . . .) with a long stick with a crook on the end, maybe a large long-haired white dog who thinks it’s a sheep, and a flock of medium sized white or black woolies), has a very faint whine that I cannot hear even when it’s close, but my son can when the dog is across the room!

Some Fun Facts About Billy Newt's 13Th Birthday

Well, looks like at least 190 views at the story so far with 4 responses. It's not a big reaction, but it's not a bad one either for a non-genre writer like me. Unless, you guys are dying for another fantasy story, I think this might just be a one time thing.   I wanted to at least share some things about the story at least for fun facts:   1. I have read way too many stories about witches, (used to love Charmed too), I feel like there's really no difference in story elements of fantasy. I w

Alright, Been A While Since I Wrote A Story

Here is my Halloween fun story.   https://www.gayauthors.org/story/w-l/billysnewt13thbirthday/1   As I said, I do not anticipate writing this into a major series, unless readers really desperately want me to write it out. I am really irreverent in this story to the Fantasy Genre, so if you guys like this be prepared for a different take on Fantasy from a more masculine perspective.   As for Norse Mythology being used in this story, I freely admit it, I love the concept of old Norse Tales.

The Nature Of Success - A Discussion With Myself

Disclaimer: This will be depressing. Read at your own peril.   How do I define success?   This seems to be the question of the decade for me. I don't know if I've been successful in my life. My instinct is to say I haven't been, but maybe I am? If success is having financial security, then I definitely have not been successful yet. If success is reaching a position of power, then no again. A position of influence perhaps? Yes, I have some small amount of influence on the world, so in that I

The Last Two Months...

Its been Two months, 60 days actually, that I have gone through a phase that made me to learn a lot. A phase that has given me lessons to understand people, situations and mostly about fate. I know I have gone through some bad situations and incidents that made my life so... I don't even know what that felt.   It is 12 August, I got a phone call saying my cousin is in hospitals and in serious condition. I went there after everybody visited her. Docs told us she is dealing with her life and dea

Writing Prompts #452 & #453

Well here we are again at the start of another weekend. Yes, it is Friday and that means it is time to tempt you all with some new prompts. Now that October is underway, some people might find it nice to curl up with some apple cider, a slice of pumpkin pie, and write! As usual it is time to see if we can encourage new authors, revitalize lagging authors, and see if we can keep our usual crew pumping out new works. Just the weekly reminder - Prompt responses under 1,000 words must be posted as p

Target's Only Plus-Size Male Model Strikes A Bull's Eye For Body Positivity

Found this feel good story about a male plus size model showing that beauty doesn't have to come in just one size!   Target's Only Male Plus-Size Model Strikes A Bull's Eyes for Body Positivity   Pretty cool story. I mean, I grew up with that whole Abercrombie and Fitch aesthetic being pushed, and it's cool to see guys who don't fit that mold still being held up as being attractive.   I do have to hand it to Zach Miko for refusing to fit into conventional beauty standards and just being li

October Happenings

For a change I don't want to complain or talk about my life. I want to talk about my writing.   Lately my muse has been active. Which is really nice. What this means for my readers.   1) I have a new Halloween story coming up shortly. Like some of those from my past, it will be a one shot, but hopefully it will be something people can enjoy. Instead of the usual stories about witches, zombies, vampires, or werewolves, I decided to go a little different. My tale is called Halloween - Lilith S

Muwahahahaha...i'm Going To Try A Short Story For Halloween

Well, like the title says, I want to play this spooky holiday with a fun short story idea I have dreamed up. It involves a magical world of Warlocks, Vampires, and Werewolves   Since Cyber Bullying Defense Team is in post production for the 1st half of the story with a publication date of 10/23/2015, I've got some time to write something short and fun.   Here's the tag line:   I know what people might say: WL, what the fuck are you doing?

Music Memories Of Beverly Hills 90210

The Unauthorized 90210 Story aired on Lifetime this weekend, and it made me feel all nostalgic for the show, and of course, the show's music. (Which unfortunately has been butchered on the DVD's.) So I thought I'd post my favorite tunes from the 90210 soundtrack: 1.) When Dylan and Brenda break up, for the first time, after Brenda freaks out about her pregnancy scare.  2.) "2000 Miles" by the Pretenders When the gang watches at the train station as Steve leaves to search for his biological

Further Delays

Hello All,   I know some of you have been looking forward to my upcoming chapter of Indiana Summer for a very long, unreasonably so, time. I want to apologize for all of the delays and set backs. I recently suffered yet another one in the form of a computer glitch that seriousl corrupted the file I was working. I have been having to reconstruct the chapter bit by bit from memory.   I have also been pulling mandatory over time hours at work and getting very little sleep. I know I have said

Ready Made Reading List

Started to read a new book, sample sentence follows.   They were like the faces of sleepwalkers looking backward across nightmares, recognizing no one and no familiar things, glaring down across the fleeing irrevocable instant as if they were being hurried to execution itself, flashing on, rapid and successive and curiously identical, not despite the fact that each had an individuality and a name, but because of it; identical not because of an identical doom, but because each carried into that

Well... That Was An Interesting Time...

So an update. The company I was working for decided to let me go with no notice - which sucked. Their reasons were that I was defaming the company at every opportunity with my cast. Which was 100% inaccurate, I never called on the company at any point in the process. I stated quite openly that the production was unsupported and in the private conversations on how to handle this with my assistant I was quite harsh - but I never publically showed my frustrations. That would be incredibly unprofess
