    Well it finally happened, all   If you are thinking I finally ended the streak of being a 57 year old virgin, I'm not talking to you anymore   I guess the 1st of September is the start of meteorological fall. Today, I got my first sunburn of the summer 😮 Yes, I had sunblock on, and yes it was only 22 C/72 F out, but there was nary a cloud and I was sitting watching a flag football game for about a hour and a half.

Summer Resolutions, Anyone?

This year I’m going to clear out the shed. I’ll try this long hike someone recommended. I won’t sleep in every day.  I’ll eat healthy, all these yummy vegetables and fruit that are available now. I will finish the story that has been on hold for so long. Summer break starts on Monday, and I have a very long list. What about you? Maybe try to write a prompt story?   PT Prompt #352   Dale bought an ice cream maker, but vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry are just about that

Secret Author Event-Forbidden Knowledge Due!

Now, there has been some.... misinformation out there. 15th... 16th... what was the true date?

Write Toward the Next Wave

I asked AI to research genre trends in popular reading, as well as age demographics and general male preferences, to recommend ways to write that capture more of the current zeitgeist without forgetting our current audience.  The AI is familiar with genre trends on Gay Authors as well as our sites declared genre preferences and age. So the advice is geared towards appealing to existing audience and new audience as a way to attract interest. As always, you can write what you want. But if you

Weekly Wrap Up (Jul. 5 - Jul. 11)

I'm going out on a limb here and guess that most of you are in the northern hemisphere, so I apologize to our southerners. Yet this discussion is for all of you! I haven't yet gone camping this year, but my intentions are going to be gone for a few weekends here and there.  I am a roughing ii as a camper in the sense that I pitch a tent, set up a canopy over the picnic table, have a propane stove, have no running water, electricity or sewer. Yes, the local outhouse is my plumbing  You

July's CSR: Look Back at 2025's Secret Author!

That's right, to whet your whistle, so to speak, this month we're looking back at last year's submissions to the Secret Author contest! Authors maybe aren't sure how to incorporate a Secret/Forbidden topic into the story or just how tangential it can be, these stories could be the inspiration needed (you never know which new author may take up the mantle for the contest once they have a reference!) Readers, well... sometimes we all enjoy a 2nd, 3rd, or more look back at content from our favorite
