A Dramatic Monologue

I haven't written a monologue in a really long time (we're talking undergrad, but I thought I'd give it a shot.)   JUSTIN, late 20's, talks about the death of his good friend from college to a grief support group.   So, hi. My name is Justin. I'm here to talk about my friend, Randy. Randy died of a drug overdose three months ago, today. He was 27 and just a couple of weeks short in getting his master's degree in drug counseling. The irony, right?   It's strange. When he first died,

Let the Music Play

I don't believe I've done this before but, Let the Music Play by C James is a book written on the talent level of Tom Clancy, back when he wrote his books.   I highly recommend this book to any who loves a good thriller with gay characters and written in a non-porn way.   Let The Music Play

Arizona Legislature: Crazy, Stupid, Misguided...or all of the Above?

What were they thinking!

The Arizona state legislature recently passed a bill purportedly to help protect the religious beliefs of business owners. The following column is based on my understanding of that event, and if I've misunderstood or misinterpreted anything about the situation, I welcome any corrective responses, as well as general responses.   The way I understand it the bill is intended to protect, at least in part, businesses who wish to not do business with parties whose views or practices might conflict

New story Concepts and observation about seperate but equal

First, a new concept in my story is the ambiguous morality of need in human existence. One groups needs in order to exist may conflict with anothers group's needs. In modern fiction, we often read about good over evil, when it comes to needs. However, Eastern storytelling usually make the case that needs are essentially ambiguous where good and evil come from perspective.   Remember that as you read my chapter.   Now here is my thoughts to continue on kansas, since Arizona is starting the sa

The Bode Miller Custody Battle And What It Means for Women

I've been reading about this case, and all the strangle twists and turns it's taken, and I'm really fascinated by it. The basic gist is that Bode Miller, in 2012, had a few dates with a woman named Sarah McKenna that he met on a matchmaking service. He got her pregnant. She contends that he initially wanted nothing to do with her or the baby. In the meantime, Bode Miller met and married volleyball player Morgan Beck, in a span of a few months. At seven months, Sarah McKenna left California for N

Hey, can you lend a hand? Do you like to read?

I've been with GA for a few years now. When I first joined I would have killed to have immediately found a good beta and editor. Over time, for most things I found myself settling down and working with the same two or three incredible people over and over again. It was comfortable, and I knew I could rely on their honest opinions of my work.   Flash forward to recently. While there are some damn fine editors working on site the Betas seem to have vanished.   What is a Beta? Glad you asked.

This and That

The Dream

I heard a terrible noise. I didn't know what it was. In the distance a farm tractor moved slowly across a field, a man walking alongside.  Everything was so vivid, the sky a brilliant blue - too blue - and the hedgerows and trees impossibly green.   Looking back at the tractor I could see it had changed direction, lurching across the field towards a gap in the boundary hedge, the walking man now clinging to the tractor as if for his life.  Strange; both he and the driver seemed to

Why one should storyboard a longer story

The graphic on the page linked below is unfair to Ayn Rand, but she wouldn't care. Authoring was only one of many tools to advance her ideas. Still, the concept applies to most stories. If you don't plan your story before writing, it had better be short, or you will likely find yourself veering into the weeds, trying to keep the story alive.   http://macroexposure.com/2014/02/18/atlas-shrugged-in-one-chart/   Edited to remove the image of the chart.

Writing Tip: Best/worst Part I - Promising Authors

Many authors have had reviews in which they're just not sure how to respond. We've had reviews that tell us how much a reader has loved our stories and how they just can't wait for the next chapter or story to come out, but there's the other side that as an author we're not always sure how to handle. The purpose of this blog is to show how some of our promoted authors have dealt with some of their worst criticisms.   There was so much interest from our Promising and Signature Authors that I ha

The Fantastic Mr. Wilde

Health Care Is an Awesome Thing!

This is kind of an old video but since I can't sleep, I'm browsing content on Upworthy just for shits and giggles, and I stumbled across it and rewatched it. John Green is a really intelligent guy who knows a whole lot, and it occurred to me while watching this video that if I lived in the US, odds are I would be unable to pay for my antidepressants, and that would seriously suck. For 98 10mg tablets, of which I take two a day, I pay 74NOK, which is $12 US. That is roughly $7 per month. I don't

Genderqueer Musings

Why, Because I'm Pretty?

Hi GA. Welcome to the first installment of my genderqueer rants. I have been hankering to get this off my chest for quite a while and this seemed like the best place to do it, so I'm just going to jump right in.   Something I encounter very frequently, particularly among well-meaning gay men, is this incredibly disturbing mentality usually characterized by something like the following conversation:   Him: So you want to be a man.   Me: Yes. Well, not want to--am. I just don't look like one

Pop Goes The 80's Playlist, Part I (1980 - 1985)

So I need a pick-me-up, and what better way than to listen to great 80's pop? Let's start!   Pop Goes The 80's Playlist, Part 1 (1980 - 1985)   1.   2.   3.   I remember seeing an interview with Madonna where she said that had she know this song would have branded her the Material Girl for the rest of her life, she might not have done it. LOL.   4. "Let The Music Play" by Shannon   5. "Cars" by Gary Numan   6.   7.   8.   This is one bat-shit crazy video.
