Writing Prompts #314 & #315

Hope you enjoy these prompts and that they inspire you to write a little something, and if you do, don't forget to share your responses in the prompt forum!!   Prompt 314 – Creative Tag – Sleeping Beauty Two months ago a rare find in Mexico happened.

Ga's Newest Signature Author: K.c.!

He's back again! K.C.'s taking over the blog this week... but now as our newest Signature Author! As you can see, if you visited Monday's feature of Shepherd's Crook on the CSR Discussion Day, you can see he's definitely earned the promotion from Promising to Signature. If you haven't read it yet, check out his very popular Shepherd's Crook or one of his many other stories!   Maybe you could check out Lone Wolf one of K.C.'s many short stories.

My coming back story...

As you may or may not know I've been absent from GA for a bit and recently came back and not only re-connected with people but am making new friends in the process.   Awhile back I was working as a youth support specialist for at risk (read really really super bad) youth. At first the job was good and I was able to work with some but as time went on, the general trend of the kids changed. About a year into the job I was involved in what we call an intervention where we have to basically get an

Ichthyic Insanity

Love, Exclusion and Identity.

Whom we love is as much a statement about those whom we reject. In the glut of romantic fiction out there, a lot of books gloss over the rejection inherent in the romantic love because really why do we want to feel sad for the poor sod when there's a ooey gooey love to gush over. We gloss it over. We find ways to minimize it. Or we turn the rejected character into an asshole, someone who deserved it, a crazy idiot, or worse, an other.   This brings me back to the book I was reading Bitter Eden

Shame on Tennessee

Since we can celebrate gay marriage in the UK in the Lounge but not shame the mandatory counselling sponsored by the Bachmanns (apparently they are politicians, I would call them differently), I had to migrate this report about a new vomit inducing part of public school curriculum in Tennessee to this blog: http://nationalrepor...inning-may-1st/ Just to quote: "We bring the gay demons out of these individuals so they can become who god intended them to be." “A child has to choose to become g

Csr Discussion Day: Shepherd's Crook By K.c.

For March's CSR book selection we had K.C.'s Shepherd's Crook. If you haven't read it yet, go take a look. The interview could have some spoilers, though, so don't read on if you don't want to ruin the surprise. I hope everyone who has read the story will share their thoughts with K.C. today. Also... He's coming back between 8:00 and 10:00 PM, EST for a live chat!!You can ask him your questions about him, his writing, Shepherd's Crook, his current work or future work. If you can't make it then,

Bitter Eden

Through NetGalley I got a copy of Bitter Eden by Tatamkhulu Afrika. I'm still working my way through it, but I would definitely recommend it if you're looking high brow queer fiction.. Yeah, yeah. it's literary fiction, but this is the literary fiction done right. Deep and vivaciously haunting with its imagery, yet without the dreary pretentiousness or unlikable characters associated with literary fiction. No, the book isn't easy to read, but you would want to slow down anyway to enjoy its every

Thorn's Quick & Easy Guacamole

A simple recipe today. Guacamole is my favourite dip, and it's so easy to make. No taco night is complete without it. You can do it in a food processor if you like, but if the avocado is ripe enough and you don't mind it a bit chunky, you can literally just mash it with a fork.     Ingredients:   2 ripe avocados 1 tomato lemon juice paprika powder chilli powder OR hot chilli sauce (sriracha or the like)     1. Slice the avocados in half and remove the pits. Use a spoon to dig the avo

Weekly Wrap Up!

I'm running a bit behind with this weeks Weekly Wrap Up as I kind of fell asleep on the couch, but here it is none the less. I hope everyone had a great week and that you all are having a relaxing weekend to gear up for the coming week. Now, how about I get on with the wrap up!   The review for this week's Featured Story was "The Lake" by Dolores Esteban. "The Lake" was one of the entries into the recent Spring Anthology and was enjoyed by not only our reviewer, Jo Ann, but based on the commen

Losing my fun Aunt

It is funny how families spread out across a country how you wish you had more memories of certain family members than what you had the opportunity to, after they pass away.   Once such person was my Auntie Nancy who recently passed away.   I remember meeting her when I was about 5 years old when she started dating my Dad's brother when he moved out West from Central Canada and ended up boarding at my Mom's parents house (confusing I know).   I remember that wedding when Auntie Nancy becam

So I should be sleeping, because I'm supposed to be getting up in the morning and going to compete, only, despite the time spent training and helping to set up tonight, i really don't want to go. I always loved to complete, especially when i was younger, but these last few years, the thought of having to go out there in a ring in front of people leaves me sitting up the night before in tears, trying to think of a million and one excuses to just skip out and go hide some where.

Television Without Pity To Close It's Doors on May 31st

The iconic pop culture media website, TWOP, is closing its door.It's a total bummer. I grew up on posting on the site. I started posting there when I was 14 years old, in the spring of 2000. That is literally half of my life. I remember back in those days, my posts would likely revolve around the WB line-up...Dawson's Creek, Buffy, Popular (THAT was a big one for me because the board there was really active), Roswell (which was able to have 3 seasons instead of just 1 because the members of then

Britain - First Gay Marriage on Saturday!

Gay marriage becomes legal in Britain as from midnight tomorrow, 28/29 March.   Here's a commentary from The Daily Telegraph:     Why gay marriage deserves to quietly disappear   Much has been written about the importance of this weekend and rightly so but once we have seen the inevitable ‘first couple’ on the news, this story deserves to quietly disappear. Whilst it has been wonderful to hear the positive debate, the debate has inevitably brought out the ugly and I for one will be glad n

House Guardians

Okay,   So, my sis had a weird dream one night about three people at our home. My brother ask if they were two guys and a woman. Surprisingly, my sister said they were. She said they were just standing around and staring at the furniture, the woman in my parents's room, one guy at the back door, but she can't tell where the other guy was. She assumed they were burglars, and actually talked to one of the many dogs around the house, asking it to guard the house. It talked back and promised to d

Why are people so stupid?

OK, I might not be in the best frame of mind as I type this, but I seriously need to vent - you may want to brace yourselves for some choice language. It's either rant here, or tell a few people exactly what I think of them.   Been a nice quiet morning on my ward.   Sure some of the kidides are suffering side effects from the chemo, but they were all in good spirits and at least they all managed to keep breakfast down.   For a change, we have full nursing support on the ward - first time

I hope everyone is having a fantastic week. It's time for our weekly look back at what happened in the GA News Blog, which is a great way to see what you might have missed!   On Monday Louis (LJH) provided us with a review of "Roommates" by Signature Author: Krista. He thoroughly enjoyed the story and if the other comments are anything to go by, so did some of the other readers. Also, it looks to me like his review even drew a new reader to the story, that's always a great thing and one of our

If the hand ain't up, I don't know the answer!

If I knew the answer to your question, do you really think I'd be slid so far down in my seat that the person in front of me can see my feet?   Nah. I'd probably be holding up a "pick me" sign desperate to sound kinda smart for once in my life.   Most teachers understand this. But my maths teacher hasn't seemed to take the fucking hint yet. I swear this guy has it out for me. He'll walk up behind me and look to see which homework question I wasn't able to do and make sure that he asks me t
