A Serious Decision Concerning "18 Weeks"

I think I mentioned somewhere that 18 Weeks was begun in the middle of September '14 and finished sometime in April '15. I am (obviously) not a writer by profession, but the story just kept pouring out as I wrote all the chapters, every one. Then, of course, the hard part. I must have rewritten the chapters thousands of times, moving stuff around, adding and subtracting characters, etc. I'm sure every writer does this, but I certainly had never written a 250,000 word story before!

Excerpt One From Becoming Real

Excerpt One from Becoming Real: Hello, all! The book club this month is featuring my collection of coming out stories, Becoming Real. I will be live to chat on the 31st, but for those of you who may not know what to expect from the work, I think I will post a few sample excerpts. These are a personal sampling, and just meant to give you the flavor of the seven short stories through the lens of some of my favorite moments. Please enjoy, and please leave comments if you have any. Thank

Amazon Workplace Culture

Hey guys, I thought I'd point you guys to this rather fascinating expose I read by the New York Times about the corporate culture of the Amazon Workplace. Amazon: Wrestling Ideas in a Bruising Workplace It paints a picture of Amazon as this "every man for themselves" environment, where workers are encouraged to work well over 40 hours a week (try more like 80), sabotage each other in secret feedback to their bosses, and hold themselves to unreasonably high standards. People who go throug

World Heroes: Some News Is Worth Applauding

This is not a political post, but an honest congratulations to all those brave men involved. I have been watching the unfolding story of the 3 Americans, a British national, and a Frenchman fight off a terrorist armed with an automatic weapon on a high speed train heading to Paris. If there's a good reason why we should be in the fight together as a collective whole rather than a unilateral force, this incident proves that unity can triumph over terror. This could have been a lot worse, it c

Kung Fu And The Art Of Living

I shared this quote on the "Inspirational Quotes" forum a short while ago, and it was brought to my mind again in response to several of the comments on my last blog posting: "If you one day make it back to the West, what will you tell men of this strange word, 'kung fu'? Will you tell them that it means to fight? Or will you say like a monk from Shaolin to summon the spirit of the crane and the tiger? Kung Fu. It means, 'supreme skill from hard work.' A great poet has reached kung fu. The p

It's not too often now days that I post things on my blog, and when I do it's because I'm being either an offensive faggot or in a jovial mood where I post random bullshit. But this blog post is neither of those for once. This post is about something interesting that happened to me today. There I was at Period 1 Geography (yes I take geo DON'T LAUGH we don't just colour in in geography. We go on field trips too). Anyway, I sit at a table group of 4, my friend Elliot, Reuben and Adam.

A Lovely Day For A Cookout

Still not talking about Politics I am holding my nose and head away from that shit storm. Instead, I went to a nice summer BBQ, had a hot dog (no I am not eating dogs that would be cannibalism ), and just enjoying my day. Something I realized today though is that you can make a dry, non mayo Potato salad taste pretty good, but I think it robs the dish of the flavor it should have. I am not a huge healthy eater type of guy; although, I did bring a fruit plate to the BBQ as a gift (It's a Ch

I don't normally rant or care about sensitive issues, not on this site or anywhere else, but I am sick of it. And I don't care if I get banned or whatever cause if I have no rights to speak, then I don't want to be here. I am tired of hearing people complain about religion/religious being and what not. You people do realized there are some users here who believe in a certain religion. I know most people despised and would normally criticized religion/religious people because they most likely

Writing Tip Writing Tip: Conflict Is Key

Sometimes it's hard to find new content to share in the GA News Blog. Lately, I've been looking back at some of the stuff that has been shared since the Blog started up again and I realized something. We have new authors joining all the time and not everyone wants to search through the News Blog and read the tips that have been shared. With that thought in mind, I decided to look at some of the past tips and bring them back to the forefront. The first one I'm once again featuring is from Libby D

Regarding Depression And The State Of The World.

I received a message from someone who read my last blog entry, "Social Anxiety and Crying Wolf", and who thanked me for sharing my experience, as it related to their own. This was the second of two messages that addressed the same subject, and I don't know what came over me as I was responding, but the words flowed like magic, and I just wanted to share my response with you now. I hope it's not too forward. Thank you for the message. I remember watching a video a couple of years ago about

Perception And Perspectives

I am one of those contrarians, you know that guy who will eat a box of twizzlers despite knowing I hate the lycorish or in this case giving a man I know I despise a few minutes of my life to listen to what he has to say. To be honest, I still hate lycorish, but I learned twizzler is actually eatable. I actually listened to Donald Trump's speech in New Hampshire and I might not like the man, but I can see his appeal and even agree with him, that just got me thinking about the nature of defining m
