Writing Prompts #228 & #229

Well it is Friday again and I thought I would slip in for a change and actually introduce the prompts myself. I guess after a hundred plus attempts to catch an author's attention this might help.   You know, like anyone else I enjoy reading what others have done with the prompts. For our experts this is a just a chance to flex those writing muscles, and for the newbie it is simply a chance to get some feedback on something you wrote. These can be flash fiction pieces, poetry, or whatever you d

Camp NaNoWriMo

I've been meaning to do NaNoWriMo for years, but I never got around to it. November always seems to be a bad month for me. So when I heard about Camp NaNoWriMo this year, I decided this was my chance. So, in April, I finished and rewrote Nemesis. And I won! I'm sort of giddy and very pleased with myself right now.

The Most Amazing Story You Will EVER READ

So, Ieshwar just introduced a story called "My Immortal" to me.   It's honestly the best story I have ever read in my entire life. I think it was originally on FictionPress but it probably got taken down since it was probably nominated for a Nobel prize. It's so, so, so beautiful -- so beautiful I just can't even       http://emilkirkegaard.dk/en/wp-content/uploads/My-Immortal.pdf           GA authors step up your game, Jesus, Domluka ain't nobody got time for your shit.

Recent Blog

I recently had a blog up that several people commented on and I found I could agree with points made by everyone, including myself. And I appreciate every comment made. However, I can also see that the anger behind the things I said and could possibly say, is not, would not be, good for the relationships between authors and editors here at GA.. Therefore, I deleted it. Not because of what anyone said, but because of what someone might say that could do harm to the community at large. I don't wan

The Evolution of a Novel: Characters

I started writing Nemesis a decade or so ago. While the essence of the story was the same, so many things about it have changed.   Back then, Dave's name was Leo. Leo was a far more aggressive, macho type of character than Dave. When I began to rewrite the story from the beginning, a bit less than three years ago, I found that Leo had changed so drastically as to be almost unrecognisable, and his name had to change. Dave just felt right, somehow.   Nick has always mirrored me

Review of Spartacus: War of the Damned Finale

Epic, beautiful, and tear-jerking.   The legend of Spartacus has been told countless times with every generation coming up with another story or film that captures the imagination. This retelling by Starz network had more blood, swearing, and sex than any other, but it felt more true to form for the era and times. Slavery is not a dead concept of the ancient world, even in today we still have slaves, whether it is in the human trafficking in Africa, the sex trade in Europe, Asia, and Americas,

Weekly Wrap Up!

Once again from yours truly... a look back at this week on Gay Authors!   This week's blogs started with a review by Wicked Witch of The Rider's Pride by dkstories. This novel length story is a fanfiction of McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern stories. Dan did a great job creating a story in much the same manner of the original work; Wicked Witch called it a "superb piece of fanfiction". As a fan of the series since I was a girl, I have to agree!   Wednesday brought something a little differen

Costs of Health Care in the US

I said it beforre in another blog and countless times when the soapbox was still around: the biggest expense for the average health care provider was the insane mandate of Electronic Health Records implementation.   I was reading this on CNN and I think even the more liberal proponents have to see that this reform was far too heavy handed:   Doctor Gives Up on US Health Care   Look, I warned people years ago, when I was heading up accounting at a health care firm that the new laws are not

A Point of View...

Rotten banks and worthless money

I gave up long ago taking seriously - if I ever did - the posturing by economists that they truly understand how economies work and what actions really need to be taken to deliver a healthy and sustainable economy. Because it seems to me they're charlatans, the proverbial snake oil salesmen peddling their own patent remedies under the guise of "wisdom and knowledge", when the reality is that modern economies are underpinned by smoke and mirrors - the illusion of wealth that is "money".

Sharing a anime dub, Sekai-ichi Hatsukoi

Don't worry it's not the sexual brand of gay Anime However, it is moving and very adult oriented. I thought the fan Dubbers did good job on this episode and it explores some interesting things that GA writers have gone over, gay guys who have given up on love.   The original japanese is much better, but this is fine to give an American audience a taste.   IF you really enjoy it, I suggest watching the entire series if possible. I made the recommendation earlier in the Member Q&A thread,

Detroitism- A.KA. "Ruin Porn"

So, since Adam Phillips just loves to get on me for my reading habits, I thought I'd try and read something that wasn't written for 12-year olds, and looked around for something a little different. I've had this fascination for the past couple of years with the city of Detroit, and how it's accelerating depopulation has been depicted in pictures and videos. Detroit, in the course of one decade, has seen its population plunge from about 950k to just 714k- that's approximately equal to if the city

1st Person or 3rd Person? Which POV do you prefer?

I have been playing close attention to the ratio and how POVs (point-of-views) correlate to the stories on GA as well as other websites, and I have been quite interested in what people here prefer to read or write.   If you guys don't know what first-person, close third-person, and omniscient third-person is I'll just give you a very brief n' bare overview of what they are and the advantages/disadvantages of each POV are based on research and personal experience.   Before I start, I'll touc
