80's Playlist 1

I feel like re-living the 80's right now...some songs to get me started...   1. You Can Call Me Al- Paul Simon               8. Just Like Heaven - The Cure                 It kind of pisses me off to think that such a great song was denied being number 1 by that horrid George Michael tune, "I Knew You Were Waiting For Me." Ugh. On the other hand, this song has remained far more relevant than the latter, so yay!

Writing Prompts #238 & #239

I'm back! Did you miss me? Last week the prompts were interrupted by our Roll The Dice Anthology going live. I do hope you took the time to read them all and leave the authors a review.   Anyway I have some nice new ideas to get your mind going and hopefully find you writing again. So for your writing possibilities I present these two new ideas.   Prompt 238 - Creative   Tag - The Offer   You haven't been on a date in months and truthfully, you've let work take over your life.

Countdown: 10 days!

So, moving day is in just over a week and I'm a little freaked by how much I still have left to do. And then I tell myself that the chaos is normal and I've still got time and I calm down a little again.   Today was the last day of school. I gave my last final and recorded my last grade. I turned in my keys and emptied my desk. Also updated the stuff on the walls. We had our annual end of the year BBQ on Tuesday and my coworkers gave me a nice card with all sorts of good wishes inside.

The experiences of our members are always a valuable resource here at GayAuthors.org, whether it is in reviewing, tips on writing or in this case, how to market your work. Thanks go out to Hosted Author Andrew_Q_Gordon (the artist formerly known as Quonus10) for this blog entry on what to do, and what NOT to do!   So you wanna be an Author – hope you took marketing classes. by Andrew_Q_Gordon   I imagine many of the writers on GA want to not only publish the work, but also sell

Only Me

I can have drama when I don't want drama. Dang.   When we got home from work today, hubby said he was going to weed eat, so I decided I would surprise him and water everything, and wash off the deck steps. As I was washing the steps, my dog, 'Gypsy', started barking like hell. I looked up to see two people getting out of a car. One of them had a small leather case, and the lady was just all smiles. Still holding the water hose, I walked toward them. They explained that they were Jehovah

arctic soil

I ask you, gentle reader, would you scorn   the violet's death in arctic soil?   slave's last exhalation in endless toil?   Could you chide or reprimand   the Indian's rest after futile fight?   the moth's candle respite from his quest for light?   Would you then begrudge me my final rest?   Would I find a cold, unyielding breast?   And if you would that rest but kindly allow,   my final breath a kiss of thanks upon your brow.

Checking In

Hey All--   I've been receiving a lot of mail asking about the next chapter of 'Three Hearts' or Book 3 of 'Riding Lessons', so I thought I would take a moment to offer my apologies and explanation for their tardiness.   I, like so many people, have suffered from Severe Depression Disorder for most of my life. In early May, I hit rock bottom (before anyone jumps to any conclusions...I DID NOT try to hurt myself). I have a wonderful and supportive family and I have an agreement with them that

two brothers share the night

We settle back on leather thrones, glass and ice our sceptres.   Candelabra lit, the hounds at rest, two brothers share the night.   Tell me, lord, of mountains far, and I shall speak of valleys.   Whisper soft of tears aloft, and I will gale with laughter.   Boast upon your finest hour, while I but moan defeat.   Your nights of black and smiles lack, I will comfort be.   And when laughter wanes and tongues grow weary,   morning's light shall end our night.   We rise but slo

Intro...

I admit it. I'm a newbie when it comes to blogging. Most days I don't get involved in too much conversation in person; much less online. I didn't even know what a blog was 3 years ago (yes, go ahead a chuckle). I'm old; and most of this is new to me.   But now, after a few years and after being published and meeting so many wonderful fellow authors and friends who've taken my hand and helped me step into the larger worlds. (special kudos to MS and SL)!!!!   I joined GA about 6 weeks ago and

Gay Pride: what does it mean to you?

It seems almost impossible that this Gay Pride month of June 2013 marks ten years of liberty for the LGBT community. It seems like a small back-step in time to that summer when two remarkable things happened.   On June 26th, the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in the case of Lawrence v. Texas was announced. By a sweeping 6-3 ruling, Gay people never again had to fear arrest and imprisonment for the 'majorities' dirty-minded imaginings into our bedrooms. The Justices at the time did not have to r

Kids say the darndest things

Now there is an understatement if I ever heard one.   Brett and I were at a gathering of friends today. Nothing special, just a get together and an excuse to drink alcohol. Most of our friends brought their kids along, and two of them - Michael and Bobby, who is Brett's nephew - who are both ten years old in a few weeks time got talking.   I've no idea how they got onto the subject, but Brett and I overheard Michael asking Bobby "So just how do two guys do it?" Brett and I have never hidden

Belgrade Bound

So today I am packing for a week in Belgrade - a trip that quite frankly I do not wish to go on. Firstly there is the heat, which is 34 centigrade at the moment - about 10 degrees more than I am comfortably with. But secondly, the trip is going to be downright unpleasant. Don't get me wrong - I like my colleagues - its just that they are not my first choice to spend any time with...   Anyhow..... see you in a week's time   West

Volunteer Work- Day 3 and 4

On Day 3, I continued going through my box of Memorial Day photos. I found a couple of pictures of Governor Tom Carper (D, 1993-2001), which made it far easier to nail down a date for that set.   For Day 4 (this past Friday), the volunteer manager had myself and another volunteer go through cataloging basics. Even though I've already done cataloging, I appreciated the refresher. Plus, as I've learned, every museum does things different- a true universial standard for cataloging doesn't rea

Thursday is here.

Okay, there are a few things I am doing today.   1) The cold is letting go so I don't feel like death warmed over. Yeah for sleep.   2) I have a few little things to get out. Cards, birthday gifts, and all that jazz.   3) Rework my eating habits. Went up instead of down for the first time in two months.   4) Give myself time to mend. This isn't so much physical as emotionally and mentally. Losing someone you have come to love and depend on is hard. Worse when you know there is nothing y

Some real life

I probably learned this truth long ago, I have been in finance for five years in different companies and across the spectrum.   In my last job, I had to fire a lot of people, because the business was losing money. It just built up strain for me as the numbers would never align correctly due to poor management decision making.   In my current job, I am preparing a new round of terminations, but unlike my past job, I completely agree with this one, sadly. My current company is profitable and m

Gilbert and Sullivan Go to Washington!

I keep a personal memento of hope. In November of 2008 I went to the polls, and voted. On the ballot was the now infamous California Proposition Number 8. The language of the proposed amendment to the constitution – the founding and chief legal statement of how we the people of the state must function – said that my marriage was shit. And, that – the quality of my union – was put to a popular vote; made subject to public 'debate,' although the 'arguments' for the haters were privately-funded fro

a wanner hue

Those carmel lips that curl so deliciously at the corners on a boy draped in a chair His head falls back to reveal the silky strength of a neck a chest rises and falls as he clenches the air A sharp intake as I sink in his taut belly quivering with the pain Crimson ecstasy flows gently down savannahs of flesh and a whimper escapes from those earnest lips Then white knuckles turn a wanner hue as muscles are laid to rest And a smile plays across my lips as
