    Weekly Wrap Up (Sept. 15 - Sept. 21)

    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

taking a break

The last two weeks have been really hard for me. For those who don't know, I have bi-polar disorder. The high points are when I do my best writing, and I usually manage to maintain my highs for quite awhile. I've learned over the years to channel all that manic energy into creating things, art, music, writing, i explore out in the woods, take pictures, ect, though I have to admit that its a pinball effect at times, bouncing from one thing to another, difficult at times to focus, but I prefer tha

Writing Prompts #328 & #329

It's hard to believe that May is already over! Just as a reminder, you've only got a few more days to get your Anthology entries into the Anthology Proof Team. I hope to see lots of last minute entries! Now that it's Friday again, it's time for our dose of weekly prompts, provided by none other than Comicfan. I hope one of them helps to spark an idea!   *Reminder: We welcome you posting your Prompt Responses in GA Stories. However, please remember to post your flash pieces under 1k in a collec

Six Months into the Grieving Process

Steve's girlfriend posted on Facebook tonight saying that today was the six-month anniversary of his passing. It's pretty weird- I didn't even think about that at all today. I just went about today like it was any other day- I spent the evening working on my case statement. I didn't think about Steve for any concentrated period at all.   The grieving process is a weird, uneven thing. Right now, I feel oddly calm and accepting about it. Every couple of weeks or so, I get a flare up and it gets

I'm new. Well...

I'm not sure when was the last time I was active here, so I might as well be new here. Deep apologies to all my friends here. I know I've been an awful awful friend; whether you still consider me a friend anymore is purely up to you. I'm not sure how active I'm going to be here, but I'll try.   Just a few updates if anyone is still interested. Finally finished uni for a while, I think. Two years studying here in Australia I've decided that should be the end of schooling years for me until I

Staying Busy Feels Good

Right now I'm in the midst of this volunteer project I'm doing with the Delaware Division of Historical and Cultural Affairs. I'm basically writing a paper showing why this one site should get more funding, and I've been going down to Dover once a week to research in the archives. It's been a lot of fun, and it's great to dust off my old writing skills. The project deadline is June 15th and it should be relatively easy.   The other thing that I've been a part of is helping the new presiden

Update on stories

Hello to all of my wonderful story followers. Thank you for taking the time to read my stories, I get great enjoyment out of writing, and its even more rewarding when I get so many people reading them and even commenting on them. I know sometimes I get lazy and don't reply to all the comments, and sometimes its because I'm just to busy with other things in my life. Sailing Adventures & Wilderness - I have had an enquiry about if there is going to be a following up story to these two st

Some thoughts about California

Well, I'm back, but existentially, I find myself even more empty than before.   People say that they go to California to find themselves, but what if you find that your life is completely empty and lonely. Sure, I have some success, some money, and some stability that many other people in the world will kill for and many others would think is enough to be happy. What I found in California wasn't a route to happiness, but just an epiphany of how lonely life can be.   To be honest, I did go to

We Are Always Sometimes Monsters

Unlikely name for a game, Always Sometimes Monsters   When I bought this game, after reading some reviews, I know it's not going to be your typical RPG where you hack and slash through your enemies, loot their gold and possessions, and buy yourself some equipments and pose yourself as the knight in shiny armor. No, this is game where the reality sinks in, and before you know it, you are robbing homeless people of their sandwich, selling fake drug to a stranger girl, and blackmailing the docto

The Final Countdown to a Wedding

A wedding. What could be better?   Personally my life isn't going too swell, but I am determined to keep problems at bay till after Saturday. Saturday is the wedding of my best friend, my daughter, the one person I've counted on when my own world fell apart. From Wednesday on I will do whatever I can, move mountains, bury bodies, hide problems to make sure her wedding comes off without any more stress piling on her.   I have yet to be to the "perfect wedding". I've been to the ones where the

Csr Discussion Day: The Jacob & Marcus Tales By Thorn Wilde

Wow, summer's almost here! This month in the CSR we're discussing Thorn's Jacob & Marcus Tales. Here's some info on those, if you haven't read them yet. They're short, though, so why don't you give one a shot and then come back and talk with Thorn at 11 PM, GST +1 (3 PM, Pacific and 12 PM, Eastern)   Jacob and Marcus Tales series by Thorn Wilde Description: Marcus is the maladjusted, borderline sadistic and really quite brilliant editor-in-chief of the campus newspaper, and Ja

eBook Review: It's Complicated by L.A. Witt

It's Complicated by L.A. Witt My rating: 3 of 5 stars   Okay, so I had the hardest time rating this eBook. I thought 2.5 stars for the plot. It's annoying--basically. Passive aggressive relationship stories drive me bonkers. I thought we'd see more of them working through their problems, not have new ones dumped on top that ramped up the angst factor to "Seriously?" factors for me. Which this did. I don't want to spoil the story... but read the story blurb and it's pretty much already done for

Ga Promising Author, Cole Matthews!

So in addition to a very hearty Happy Birthday to Cole, we'd also like to Congratulate Cole Matthews on joining the ranks of Promising Authors for GA!   Cole Matthews is new to fiction writing. He likes to compose stories about gay and bisexual men who face great personal adversities after coming of age. Cole hopes to create a body of work that blends philosophy, psychology, and history to discover how these disciplines can speak to our lives. His characters tend to be ordinary people hoping t

Wall Street Culture

Every year, on the Wednesday preceding Thanksgiving Day, Dr. Reuben Zubrow delivered his lecture on the nature of money. A brilliant economist, Zubrow also had the knack of being an engaging lecturer and enthusiastic instructor. He taught Macroeconomics 101 in the largest auditorium on campus. His classes were always well-attended but the august lecture on money packed the hall year after year. At the age of 18, my take away from the lecture was that money is essentially an illusion, a fantasy t

Writing Tip: Adverbs And Adjectives ~ Helping Or Hurting

Happy Wednesday everyone! I hope everyone is having a great week so far. I was looking through the possible posts that I had for today and I decided that it's been a while since we had a grammar lesson. Wouldn't you know it, I actually had one sitting around, just waiting for an opportunity to be showcased in the blog! So, without further ado, here's today's writing tip, courtesy of Cia. Enjoy!

Featured Story: Geeks

I know it's Monday, and time to feature a new story, but before I do that, there's something else I'd like to do. Without a certain person, none of us would have such a great site to visit, read stories, and interact with so many great people. I doubt when Myr first came up with the idea for Gay Authors that he expected it would become what it is today, so with that in mind I would like to simply say, Thank You and....     Now, let's see the wonderful review of Geeks by CassieQ, supp

Will be on vacation in San Diego Thursday-Monday, 5/22-5/26

Thank God,   I needed some time off and I can't wait to be on the beach and enjoy the relaxation of a message and spa treatment. (Let's say this, I enjoy having a strong man's hands over my back, rubbing oil and ointments, but it is only partially sexual, I really need to get the tension out of my back... )   I will be there with my own little hotel suite, so it will just be a private vacation.   Anyone have any gay destinations I should visit in San Diego?

Anniversaries and other things

I always love this time of the year. Coming into summer, it brings some very happy memories (as opposed to January-April, which generally has many sad memories for me).   The Ninth of May was our anniversary. FOUR YEARS we have been together, and for those of you who weren't at GA back then to remember, I'm gonna do a little recap.   We met right here on this very site. If you go back and read my old blog entries you will see that I was trying to act straight in real life, scared of my famil

Weekly Wrap Up!

Hope everyone had a great weekend! It's almost time to start another week, but before we do, we like to take a look back at what happened, just in case you missed anything. Lots of great things happen each week in the Gay Authors News Blog and we'd hate for anyone to miss anything.   Monday started out Signature Week with Comicfan's review of Second Shot by Andrew Q Gordon. For those who haven't already read the story, you can take a quick look at Comicfan's review to see if it's something you
