    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

The Forces behind "Six Seconds" - Quantum Physics meets Romance

Hello readers, authors, unregistered users and the like,     It's been a long time since I've written.

Current Playlist

So all the talk about music in chats the last few nights has me posting the playlist I'm currently writing to while working on Broken Prince and Mismatched Eyes. I'll post the playlist for Roadhouse Reds as soon as I have one pulled together, maybe that one is flowing so slowly because it doesn't have a playlist yet lol So yeah, anyone wanting to suggest songs for that one or good songs to write by, throw some my way!   Playlist for Broken Prince   -Broken (Seether) -Monster you Made

Eurovision 2013

Well, it's almost that time of year again.   The 58th Eurovision Song Contest is rapidly approaching us (May 18th for the final). This year it is being hosted in the lovely city of Malmo, Sweden.

Csr: Story Discussion For State Of Mind

Today we're featuring a review of Libby's story, State of Mind. She graciously gave out eBook copies, and members could read it on the site, of course. Fishwings accepted my request and wrote up an excellent review to entice you to read the story, just in case you haven't already. Bear in mind, however, there *are* some spoilers. Read ahead at your own risk!   Fishwing's Review:   First of all, I'd like to thank Cia for letting me write this review. She knows that I'm a huge fan of Libby Dr

7 Common Writing F*ckups

I am by no means an expert at writing, but I am a very avid reader of all sorts of genres -- published, not published, gay, straight, sci-fi, horror, romance -- and I've noticed some very common writing faux pas that are present in a lot of non-published works -- and in some published works as well (*cough* 50 Shades of Grey).   Some of these fuckups are subjective and some of these fuckups are bigger than others, but I have found all of them hindering to the reading process.         1) L

Life happens even when you aren't ready

I just need to make things clear to everyone.   First off I have no definite news so can't fill in blanks that might be left here, but figured I would let people know why I have seemed to vanish from here.   Wednesday I was at work. Normal night, and nothing out of the ordinary. I went for lunch and came back. I was standing at the counter all of five minutes and my back began to hurt. I went to splash water on my face and was returning when pain shot up my back so badly I grabbed the wall a

American Greatness

I came across a powerful indictment of American hubris. Not to pile on about the decline of America which I don't personally think has happened, but in my opinion we are less than we assume and less than what we were.   Please take a look at the video in the below link and watch it all the way to the end but be warned it contains some very strong language:   http://www.safeshare.tv/w/UAGOcLSuLX     I submit that with politics dead-locked in this country, we are becoming a dysfunctional so

Writing Prompts #218 & #219

Hey folks! It's that time again, prompt time! We have 2 more creative prompts from our resident flash inspiration guru, Comicfan. 218 is right up my alley so I'm going to try to do something for it later this week, I think. Site flash fiction is something I have, to my embarrassment, been neglecting. It's a cool little way to inspire authors to write-even if it's just something small and fun. You can do a 30 word poem, or a 100 word microflash, or an under 1k regular flash, or a prompt could ins

Short health update snipets

Two recent FB posts   From Mar 18 at 9:49pm near Sacramento: Day 3 after my transplant - continuing to feel really good, but have been warned that typically 6-7 days after (so this Thurs or Fri), I'll probably dip low on platelets and/or hemoglobin and need a blood transfusion. So, while I wish I was home with Dan and the kids, I know I'm being watched carefully around the clock until things get stable (another 11-17 days).

Iraq War Vet Pens Last Letter to Dubya and Dick

Here's a letter, written by an Iraq War veteran named Tomas Young under hospice care, to Dubya and Dick. His body has been ravaged by paralysis and resulting complications that he's decided to go off his feeding tube and "fade away" instead of the conventional suicide.   The Last Letter   Pretty powerful stuff. It saddens me to think of how many lives were destroyed because of Haliburton war complex, and how so few of us gave a crap about what was going on over in Iraq because we were m

Love in terms of songs

So this particular blog post is peculiar in a way, because here I am going to share something I am passionate about... actually not one but two things... Music & Poetry. Bollywood industry of the yesteryears has produced some of the most talented musicians - Singers, lyricists, composers and even directors who have indeed put those musical gems into an appropriate wrapper of cinema and actors who emoted the languish and the laughter, bringing life to the lyrics.

Life's Recent Happenings

As some of you know I live off the beaten path meaning out in the country with no close neighbors. My husband has to travel infrequently and he has been out of town for the last couple of nights.

Writing Tip: Story Needs Direction

We have had so many wonderful contributors to the GA News Blog. One such contributor is Libby Drew who has sent us countless articles centered around ways to improve your writing. She has had a ton of very helpful tips and today is no different. Story Needs Direction   Wait a minute, lady. My story has a quest. How much more direction could I possibly have?   Direction is not always movement. Movement does not ensure direction. Direction implies there is a question that needs to be

March 20th, 2003

On March 20th, 2003, the United States began their combat operations in Iraq, as part of Bush Junior's "Operation Iraqi Freedom." Today marks the 10th anniversary of the Iraq War. I would like to take a moment and dedicate this song to all the people who were personally effected by this war.     I still remember the start of the Iraq War like it was yesterday. I was in 10th grade. Sometime before, I took part in a student walk-out that protested the upcoming war. At 9:11 a.m., during

Life and It's Curve Balls Part 4

Since I have posted in my blog about what's been going on with my brother, I figured with the news I received today that it might just be time to make yet another post. (For those of you who are reading this for the first time, my brother was diagnosed in December with Stage 4 Leukemia)   My brother has just finished going through his third round of Chemo, he's expected to be at the halfway point as they only figured they would need six rounds of the Chemo. They did some new tests on him to

If it's not one thing...

So, I'm feeling a bit whiny at the moment, so please forgive me. On the heels of the good news regarding my brother and of being asked to be my best friends matron of honor I got bad news from my eye doctor.... Well, it wasn't good news at least.   Went to the eye doctor today for my regular check up. I needed new glasses anyways as I'm tired of fixing my current ones with gorilla glue. Figured it would go like normal, that he'd tell me that my prescription changed a little bit, but not a w

Family & A Heartfelt Thank You

You know, I've been doing a lot of thinking today. Since my brother's diagnosis back in December, I've really had to redefine what my definition of family is. I'm not so much talking about brothers, sisters, parents, and really not even grandparents. Now, all of those other extended "family" are where my thoughts have turned to. All those cousins, aunts, uncles and the extended family with few exceptions.   What many of you know, and some of you may not know, I lost my second oldest broth
