    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

Story Update and comment on the ongoing Republican Civil War

I am going to post the new chapter of Causality tomorrow. I have 2nd draft version that I am sending over to Kitt again for edits (I wanted to give as much thought as I could to this chapter). It's a one off story, but it might be interesting and help give readers an understanding of the dynamics within Causality's universe and our own world.   Hope you guys like what comes out and stay tuned.   As for other odds and ends: I probably should mention it, since I had originally signaled this wo

Writing Prompts #276 & #277

I am watching the leaves come down like falling rain, only in tones of red, orange, yellow, pale green, and browns.

Hopefully you're ready for some fresh prompts as well.   Prompt 276 – Creative Tag - List of Words Use the following words in a story – a Danish, cup of coffee, broken leg, cell phone, and a teddy bear. Prompt 277 – Challenge Tag – The Teacher We have all had one teacher tha

Sonnet No. 42 [August 23rd, 2013 – 6:24 am]   Oh my boy, the autumn seems to come on, With each day a little less light than last, While a bit more bleakness greets every dawn, Whose grayness tries to say summer is past. But the days themselves are bright and sunny - I have you and your smile to keep me up, And although it might sound somewhat funny, With you my day also seems to windup. The sunsets come sooner with their chill, And inch-by-inch the day is given to night To longe

Weekly Wrap Up!

If you're someplace that practices Daylights Savings, I hope you remembered to turn your clocks back! It was a busy week here at GA and I hope everyone had a wonderful week and a fun Halloween!

Check out the gallery!   What better way to start out the week than by having the discussion day for the CSR Bo

I am writing something special for it, it will appear next Friday.   There's something I've been meaning to do with the story that I always admired about good epic storytellers, the subplots. Of course, good subplots must be evocative and creative.   If you need to get a fix for something paranormal or spiritual please check out the Halloween stories:   2. Ghost- Thorn Wilde   3.

eBook Review: Finding Home by Diana DeRicci

Finding Home by Diana DeRicci My rating: 5 of 5 stars   Sometimes, I like a feel good story. Diana DeRicci's story, Finding Home, starts out rough for our main character, Parker. He's gotten the crap kicked out of him by life. Sometimes, pride is all a person has left but Parker takes the ride and the $20 offered to him by a well-meaning older man. Even more amazingly... just a short time later, he takes the help offered by a local gay couple, one of which is a local cop, to stick around for a

For Halloween

Sonnet No. 95 [October 30th, 2013 – 7:07 pm]   We are only made of matter that dies, Of bones and marrow; of skull and of brains, And every thought we had will end in sighs, As those who bury us mourn our remains. A Roman mosaic of a skeleton Shows him toasting fate with pitchers of wine – His memento mori is a ghastly grin To remind we toil under a heavy fine. But, finite as the threat hangs on our head, Our necks are blessed with freedom, and with choice, For those who have loved

So, grunge is something I remember and love from my childhood. Here are some great Grunge Era tunes.

That Boy With the Far Away Eyes

That Boy with the Far Away Eyes     I was drivin’ home late Saturday night Through Pearl, Mississippi Listening to bluegrass music on the redneck radio station, And the cowboy said: “You know you should always have your .45 by your side” And I was so pleased to be informed of this That I shot twenty stop signs in his honour, Thank you Joe-Bob, thank you lord   I had an arrangement to met a boy, and I was kind of late And I thought by the time I got there he’d be off, He’d be off wit

Zombies: My Halloween Story

I will freely admit, a certain green fellow on this forum made was on my mind, when I chose to write a Zombie story.   I have seen many zombie movies in recent years; they are the best social commentary devices, second only to Star Trek strangely enough Currently Walking Dead has the best cast, writers, and overall feel to a zombie story and I know I can't equal it in a short story, so I want to go another quieter route for a zombie story.   I know Jamessavik is writing Case Black, so I am
