    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

Let them know they Matter!

So it has been a tough couple of weeks for me which culminated in a bit of a disaster yesterday. Here is how it unfolds...   As a person I tend to be a pretty private person, but when I find I like someone I will open up pretty quickly, and hey I think we are all like that to a degree. You have to let the people you want to become close too, to see the real you. Sometimes slowly, but once in a while you do it a little faster than at other times.   Well, time and life has taught me that this

Life and other issues

Alright, so it has been a while since I posted anything and I figure I owe explanations to people so forgive me if I have been late doing it.   First up is my father. Since coming out of the hospital we have been going to doctor after doctor. He has a surgeon now for the aneurisms. The doctor, who is a specialist in dealing with them informed us that Dad won't be going for surgery on on them until sometime in the new year. Okay, so that major issue is off the table for the moment, but doesn't

Quick Post

As most of you know, KC Grim had his story, Chasing The Shadows stolen. He is still dealing with that. Here's easy, relatively cheap way to help protect yourself and your story: Copyright your story before you post it. If you're writing and posting chapter by chapter, before you post the last chapter, file for a copyright. Get it done before it gets stolen.   You can do it here:   http://www.copyright.gov/eco/   The cost is $35.00 if you do it electronically. It's not a long difficult

Writing Prompts #164 & #165

One of the things I personally love about the weekly blog is the Prompt Me that debuts every Friday. Comicfan always manages to come up with something that sounds quite interesting and this week is no exception. If you tackle either of these prompts why not share them with everyone else by posting them in the Writing Prompt Forum!   Prompt 164 – Creative Tag – The Stranger They showed up out of nowhere and seem to know everything about your life.

Blast From The Past

Saturdays can be so many things to so many people. To some it is a chance to get that stuff done that you haven't had time (or have put off) during the week. Others it's a great time to just sit back and relax and forget about the stress of work and/or school. For us here at GA, it's a chance to look back into our past and bring you something from either an old Newsletter or an old Anthology. Today we're looking at a story from the 2007: The Road Not Taken Anthology. Enjoy! The Key By Lugh

Writing Tip: How To Be Critical, Not Cutting

It's a fine line between being critical in an effort to help a writer, and going too far and just being very cutting in what you say. In a text medium, it's usually hard to hear the "voice" that the criticism is being given. I mean sometimes, the voice comes through loud and clear, like when your friend comes up to you in a new outfit and you're all "Oh no you didn't - girl, you is a hot mess!" (did everyone else hear that in Layfayette voice from True Blood?)   Anyways - Cia as always has som

Before and After

Odd as it may seem, my transition doesn’t serve as a reference point for much in my life. The perspective from within, my internal dialogue, rarely follows the arc of “Back when you were living as a girl…now that you’re living as a guy.” This is largely because my internal dialogue didn’t change that much. The Me, the Self, the Identity, that I’ve lived with forever didn’t really alter. While I’ve made plenty of interesting discoveries during this journey, I can’t say an entirely new self-aw

A Hobson Choice from an old TV show

Not sure, how many of you were fans of this old TV show, I caught it in re-runs growing up, but even after a decade, the show still holds a strong resonance for me.   http://youtu.be/NI-qCUK_G4U   Early Edition was brilliant in many ways, because in almost every episode, a regular guy named Gary Hobson had to make choices for people and their fates based on a Newspaper that foretold tomorrow's events and tragedy.   This particular episode is remembered by fans as one of the great classic

First Night

Pandora   After clearing security and going down two different elevators, I guessed that I was at least 500 meters underground. The corridor had heavy steel blast doors with key card locks and biohazard signs every 50 meters. The deeper into the facility that we went, the higher the biohazard protection level of the labs that lined the corridors.   I asked the guard what the USAMARID needed from the Dept. of Homeland Security and he told me that answer was well above his pay grade.   We fi

Cleansing of the Past and an Old Story Found

My room is a mess. I admit it. Old receipts in Amazon boxes, CDs full of back up data scattered around, all sort of books and research papers, and accumulation of memories from different stages of my life among other things.... I am recovering from the grand trench of growing pain for some while now, but those mementos keep reminding me of such unhappy past, as if they do not want to part with me, in fear I would find happiness. I have been wanting to shake off those who are still pulling my
