Mon Cher - Salutation De La Bien-Aimée

Forever will be our destination. I will wait for you, On the other side of the river Of memories, of life and yet not of regrets.   I will remember our time together As the golden springs long past; A silence that became music which turned still once more, A passionate embrace frozen in time.   Then, we will meet again on the other side of the river, And we will resume our dance once more, now and forever.   ©asamvav111

Unsure and depressed

So.... who knew buying a house was such a pain. I haven't officially been told no but I haven't been told yes.   The drama all began to unfold last Thursday. I was pre-approved but after seeing my income from 2011 to 2012 dropping they started to back off. I have a medical condition that is documented and I receive family medical leave for it. Most of it is unpaid unless I have vacation or personal time available. My condition is worse when I get stressed out. So imagine how I felt after getti

Turning Down A Job Offer

Well, I turned the offer down. I thought very long and hard about it, and it came to this...   I would be driving 30 miles each way for the commute, with a roundtrip 1:30 to 2 hour commute, for about 4 to 5 hours of work at 9 dollars an hour. With gas incredibly likely to hit close to 5 dollars a gallon this summer (and at best, 4 dollars), plus the wear and tear this would do to my 8-year old car, it just didn't seem worth it for what would amount to maybe 40 dollars a day. I might as wel

Reading Stories here at GA

When I first came to GA, I was like many others, looking for a good story to read, romance preferably and I found hundreds of them it seems. I scrolled through all of these authors, stopping to look at some that looked interesting and read some or all of some of the stories. Then, I got a little braver, read and reviewed and found myself in a world all it's own. GA has it all. Sure, most of it is gay M/M stories, but it has offerings for everyone. There's romance, fantasy, poetry, werewolves, su

Pros and Cons

I got a job offer as a seasonal intrepreter at a historical plantation in Pennsylvania.   I'm not really jumping up and down about it. I had mis-givings about the job when I drove up there...the plantation is pretty out of the way and wasn't easy to find even with GPS, and it's about a roundtrip 90 minute to 2 hour commute. The job only offers 9 dollars an hour, and it's based on when school groups tour. On one hand, this is good experience, and I haven't had a job in a three months. On the

Life is perfect through young eyes

My sister and I have been sharing videos over the last couple of months since she began her treatment. I guess it was sort of a way to try give her something to smile at each time we exchanged something.   I had a pretty hard day today. A lot on my mind, and at a busy stage with work right now too. This evening when I finally sat down to check my facebook, I had this waiting in my inbox for me.   Remember when you were young, and the world was so wonderful, and exciting, and vibrant? Remembe

Check out the info below, read the story, and then be ready to discuss. We've had two great months so far, so here's to another one!       State of Mind by Libby Drew

Lightening the Load

Back in 2003, the Air Force said, "Hey, guess what? We're sending you to Los Angeles Air Force Base to be a space-geek and engineer." I said, "Awesome."   Now it's time to go home.   In addition to the 10 hours a day I spend at school, I'm trying to get ready for the big move. The tentative date is early July and there's still so much to do!   As of today, I have sorted through my storage unit and gotten rid of quite a few boxes, with some more to go out soon.

Comments About Author Advancement-Specifically Promising

Hello members! So, many of you know I'm off visiting family. My grandma has terminal cancer, which prompted my visit with my kids so they could make some memories of her they will always remember before she gets too sick. Fortunately, she's still pretty good. As a bonus, I have several siblings and their kids, parent and an ex-parent, who are here to see too. We managed to have some fun for the kids sight-seeing, going on a wild dolphin harbor cruise and taking them to swim in a spring I got to

Too cute- Kid interrupts Dad's speech in support of gay marriage

I didn't want to post this in the lounge because it might be seen as political. But really, this is all about the cutes.   Watch from 15:14 to 18:00.   Originally found at: http://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/ridiculously-cute-kids-hijack-their-ridiculously-cute-dads-s   Also, I realized my last blog entry was all depress-y sounding.

Got your attention? Good.   I don't know if people on GA are aware of it, but most authors hold book giveaways every time they release a book. - I say most because I wasn't smart enough to know I should do this when (Un)Masked was published. Entering to win is simple - leave a comment at the end of the post.   For example - I did a few book giveaways for The Last Grand Master and one of the winners was G.A.'s own Rush.   Right now Lily Velden is doing a book give away on my website. you ca

Can we work in a world with no speech?

Yes, I see the irony that I am asking the question inside a blog   It just seems weird that people can type and text out replies, but the art of conversation and discussion using words from verbal exchanges seem to be losing their hold. When a person asks for my help, they email, text, or google chat me (FYI, Google chat works like an old version of AIM ).   Speech seems more like a secondary language to modern tech integrated generations, since the concept of short text seems to have caug

Csr: Story Discussion Day For Nowhere Man

It's that time again! Can't Stop Reading (CSR) Book Discussion Day! This month we are discussing Nowhere Man by Jwolf. This roughly 45,000 word modern story was published back in 2011 and was nominated on last month's discussion day by Percy. If you haven't read the story yet, please be aware the following review will have several spoilers, and several of the comments most likely will as well.   My review:   I hadn't read this story in a long, long time.

It still get's better..

I’m sure many of you read that this past week my cousin decided to end his own life. As I’ve been struggling with this, crying constantly, and the likes. I’ve found strength that I never knew I had. Over these past twelve months that I’ve been a part of gayauthors, I’m sure you’ve gotten to know me (to some extent) and where I stand on the topic of suicide. On September 27th one of the questions that I posed to our fellow authors/admins/editors, etc, was simple and direct to this fact.   “Give

All the facts about Hosted and Promising Authors - or how you can become one too!

Recently someone asked me, “How do you become a Promising Author?” To be honest, I wasn’t sure how to respond, but like any good English major, I did my research.   First I found a whole piece on how to become a Hosted Author. Hosted Authors must have an existing body of quality writing AND an established reader base. In addition, Hosted Authors are encouraged to be active participants in the GA community, to cross-promote and link back to GA when posting stories el
