    No more Secrets, right?

    By Aditus

    We know who wrote which story and won this year’s contest. Congratulations Gary L. And now? Watching the horizon thoughtfully and waiting for inspiration to strike? Or you could write a prompt story and maybe expand it…. PT Prompt #354 What if you could make objects talk? Heinrich Heine’s quill, for example. (I just saw it at a museum.) Which object would you choose, and what does it tell you?  PT Prompt #355 Five friends are playing a board game. After a while, they roll num

Weekly Wrap Up (Jun. 8 - Jun. 14)

Howdy   No, not Stampede yet, but can't say howdy without the cowboy emoji   I kind of had a blah week the past week  for me. Wasn't bad, wasn't good, but we will take it. The alternative isn't so great🪦. Sunday through Thursday it was hot and dry and you couldn't see down the street due to the smoke from all the wildfires burning across the north of Canada👨‍🚒. I haven't really looked at the US of A, but I imagine they aren't too different. I heard that there is even some some smoke fl

Pick a Flower

Or bake a cake? Write a poem? A letter? What if someone’s birthday was yesterday and you forgot it? Maybe you didn’t know, but you want to do something nice now that you do know. PT #287   Write a birthday poem.   PT #288 Someone forgot an important birthday and needs a last-minute gift. Write their story and use the following words: purple bow, umbrella, plushy, cheesecake, revolving door, red pen, German punk band, oh, and flowers...lots of flowers.

Author Guess Who #25

Wow! Twenty five editions of Author Guess Who...  Plenty of fun has been had, many accusatory guesses, and countless acts of finger-pointing later, and AGW is still kicking! This month is no exception. What better way to celebrate than to participate. We have another mystery author with several answers that may or may not hint at their identity. Grab your detective hats, slip on that dusty foam finger from that random basketball game you went to ten years ago, and get ready to guess this au

A Teensy Update

A little note before reading... I have had a few adult beverages.  In the span of a year, many things have happened in my personal life. Being accepted into a new community in this world with open arms. Reevaluating personal goals. Discovering values in life that needed to be brought to light.  Aaron... My sweet, darling, precious Aaron. Why in the world are you writing this, pretending this blog doesn't have the thickest layer of dust and KFC crumbs?  Because, you silly-billies.

How was everybody's past week?      Let's check what happened in the past week on the GA News Blog.

Thoughts from the Faerie Fool

Work insanity

Just a rant. The college I work for has a new Dean (oh joy).  Great!  Except that she's psychotic. She waits until the last minute to make any decisions, then makes one that is illogical and actively hurts the goal that is trying to be achieved.  My boss is at a point she's seriously considering early retirement just to get away from her. If it wasn't 6 years away for me, I'd probably consider it too.

Let's Play a Game

I love games.  Board games, card games, word games... if it's game night, count me in!  When I was a kid, we always played games when I visited my grandparents.  Yahtzee was a favorite, along with Boggle.  Later, we discovered Pass the Pigs.  As a teenager, I played a lot of poker with my friends, usually with M&Ms as the currency.  The different colors had different values, as did plain and peanut.  The winner was usually the person who didn't eat all their 'money'.  In college, my room was

Friends, Fellow Writers, the GA Mod Team, and Inspiration

My previous blog entries are part of my personal writing journey as I do my best to finish my first multi-chaptered work.   This blog, however, explains how I came to be inspired to work on a multi-chaptered story in the first place:   I just went on a hunt for 2024's Secret Author Talking Topic Thread and reading it was like seeing my GA life flashing before my eyes.  To anyone who might not know, I was urged to join the forum by a friend who enjoyed reading anon
