Guest Promotion Opportunities for Authors

As a tie in to the Guest Blog Post I did last Wednesday on the GA blog - I'd like to give anyone on GA who aspires to be published - or is published - a chance to promote themselves a bit. Two things I was/am doing on my site are geared toward helping other authors promote their books. I average about 600-700 unique visitors a month on the site so while it might not be close to what GA gets, it's not that small anymore either and it's been my observation that there isn't a ton of cross over with

Volunteering Day 5 and 6 and Flooding

So on Day 5 of volunteering, I finished going through my box and started on another one. On Day 6, which was this past Tuesday, I started on a new box- in this case, a good chunk of what I saw in the box was actually pretty new, like posters from the 2009 parade and the like, as well as a DVD rip. Which was interesting, because on one hand, it's good to have them, but on the other hand, it doesn't really feel like history.   In main news...Newark, Delaware flooded out. Not like, Mississipp

Vintage Audio- Amps

One of my many hobbies is that I like to play with something called vintage audio.   This is the collection of old stereo components and the attempt to make it all work. It may sound expensive but it's not that bad. Speakers are expensive but you can find some REALLY neat old components on e-bay.   At the moment my current stereo configuration is playing and doing a great job with David Bowie's Greatest Hits.       So.. let's get into it.   The number 1 component that you need is

Ah another Friday has arrived and you all know what that means ... I get to torture you with a new set of ideas to get you writing.

Okay enough chatter out of me, here are this weeks prompts.   Prompt 240 – Creative Tag – List of Words Use the following words in

North to Alaska

Countdown: 4 days!

So, the cat is totally freaked out.   As of today, I've got another load for goodwill, some items for electronic recycling, and 8 boxes to mail. I'm not looking forward to the bill for those.   Tuesday (the day before yesterday), I received notice from Alaska's department of teacher credentialing that I can now work, pending approval through the FBI (to make sure I'm not a child molester or anything ). What they're going to grant me for NCLB highly qualified status I don't yet know.

What the . . .

So last night we were watching the old film Bugsy Malone with some friends and their kids.   About half way through the film, one of our friends sons, Matthew, who is 14, made the following comment. "I'd love to coat that in honey and lick it off".   Assumed he was referring to Tallulah (played by Jodie Foster)       or maybe Blousey (played by Florrie Dugger).         Nope, I was wrong on both counts.   Turned out he was actually perving on Bugsy (played by Scott Baio).

Silence Is Golden

So, I stayed silent through the whole deal happening in California. I held my breath for the best, and it came to be. Ok, so, my workplace is very iffy as far as gay issues. If we have any gay employees (besides my gay butt), no one knows about them.   My boss walks in today and says, "Have you seen where they passed the bill in California for gays?". I was like, mmmm yeah, why?   Response. "I don't understand why the American people try to block our own citizens from their rights. Wha

just as she was taught

She hadn't meant to walk in on her father;   she'd only wanted a glass of milk before bed.   But as the door swung open her ears were greeted   with a deafening explosion.   Blood and brains painting the walls, a dress, her face.   Blood-flecked pigtails quivered,   mouth gaping at a landscape in hell.   She slowly steps to the side of her slumped hero.   Gingerly reaching out to those strong, gentle hands;   recoiling at their warmth, now unholy.   She bends as if guided by

He is the one betting hounds at the Kentucky Derby,   speaking a foreign language in a familiar land.   He is the one looking for snowstorms in the South,   and predicting rain amidst the desert sand.   He is...   Searching for a niche in alabaster walls,   casting no shadow as he roams down the halls.   Everyone knows him, a stranger nonetheless,   what could possibly ail him is anyone's guess.   He is king of a world,   and lord

Firefly 2013

So the second year of Firefly came and went. It was a pretty good experience, despite how bad my feet are aching right now from all that working.   I wasn't a volunteer this year, so I wound up camping with my friend Mike and his buddy Freddy. It was an entirely different feeling than last year, because the crowd was twice the size that last year had. It took a really long time to get to our campground, and we wound up parked at a spot pretty far away from the festival, which was a shock from

Just a thought

On that subject .......

I have met a lot of wonderful people here on GA over the last couple months. Most of you have welcomed me with open arms and hearts. Time for me to open up a bit more for you guys and answer the unasked questions about some of the things i have said. I am pretty open about most things in my life, and I think its pretty important to be very open about this one. If it helps even one person to get through a tough time it is more than worth it!   Last summer i went for my annual boob smushing ( wh

This Is What Always Happens

I always end up feeling a little bit on the outside. It's nobody's fault but my own. I don't do well in large groups. I used to be the one who just sat in the corner. I'm better now, I can talk to people and partake in group activities, but I invariably keep everyone a little bit at arm's length. Not that I don't share or discuss, I'm quite open most of the time, just that I keep me, the person I am on the inside, the quirks of my personality, a little bit on the inside. So I keep my distance, e

Good Bye Exodus

So read another article in the newspaper, but this one has most the same information:   Exodus admits they were wrong   Personally I'm glad there is one less organization that people can turn to and say that they were 'curing' homosexuality.   A couple of pretty amazing statements from the article:     Another quote I saw in the local newspaper but not in the article was that Chambers admitted that they were practicing their beliefs in contrary to what the bible teaches and expects.

World War Z- What book?

Usually when you buy the rights to a book, you assume that the movie is going to be based on the book. Hollyweird is known for taking liberties but in this case they threw away the book and rewrote it.   The only thing that the two have in common are zombies, a mysterious plague that causes them and the United Nations. That's it.       Max Brooks originally wrote World War Z in the style of Studs Terkel's The Good War. It was a collection of stories told by the veterans of World War II.
