It still get's better..

I’m sure many of you read that this past week my cousin decided to end his own life. As I’ve been struggling with this, crying constantly, and the likes. I’ve found strength that I never knew I had. Over these past twelve months that I’ve been a part of gayauthors, I’m sure you’ve gotten to know me (to some extent) and where I stand on the topic of suicide. On September 27th one of the questions that I posed to our fellow authors/admins/editors, etc, was simple and direct to this fact.   “Give

All the facts about Hosted and Promising Authors - or how you can become one too!

Recently someone asked me, “How do you become a Promising Author?” To be honest, I wasn’t sure how to respond, but like any good English major, I did my research.   First I found a whole piece on how to become a Hosted Author. Hosted Authors must have an existing body of quality writing AND an established reader base. In addition, Hosted Authors are encouraged to be active participants in the GA community, to cross-promote and link back to GA when posting stories el

Procrastination Rant

I don’t want to do my homework, I find it difficult to care about my assignments for the week, I am apathetic to the point where procrastination has become my one friend, and yet, I only have five days left of the class. Logic would say just go ahead and hurry up and get stuff done, but I can’t, because I cannot find the motivation to care about the stuff I was assigned to do. I have a low A at the moment, I never expected to get better than a B out of the class, so of course, I sit here and tel

Well, it's time to get a kickstart on the weekend again, and what better way to do that than to provide two new prompts from our prompt guru, Comicfan.

Maybe Robocop wasn't that far fetched after all

Detroit is in the worst mess of decades with a falling population and property values, along with high unemployment. Crime is running rampant and the Police Department is being stretched thin.   http://www.freep.com/article/20130221/COL06/130221080/Tom-Walsh-Sure-Snyder-wants-grow-Detroit-can-t-say-how-   Doesn't this sound like the premise of Robocop's dystopian future? Well, it's no longer science fiction, it is a fact of life and reality.   No, a cyborg cop won't save Detroit, nor would

Firefly 2013!

I just bought my tickets. It was a total bitch of a moment, and I had to drop 238 on my card instead of 198 or 218 because all those tickets sold out at an suspiciously fast rate, but yeah. I got my tickets! In celebration, I'm going to post one of my favorite songs from MGMT, who is on the lineup...     I'm now looking forward to seeing Tom Petty, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Foster the People, Vampire Weekend, MGMT, Calvin Harris, Passion Pit, The Lumineers and Matt and Kim.

Life is too short for Goodbye

It is at times like this weekend that I am rudely reminded that despite the daily difficulties I face on my own, I am not alone in the world, and while there are times I feel very much alone, and at odds with all that is going on around me, there are others going through difficulties just as vivid and real to them as my own are to me.   Wrapping myself in a cocoon of my own making, getting lost in self pity and getting disillusioned by my circumstances is easy. I've written before about how se

Writing Tip: Less Is More

Libby Drew has been great in providing us with content for the GA News Blog and continues to bring us some wonderful articles on the art of writing. I hope you all enjoy this lesson that she took the time to put together for us. Less is More   That thing I say all the time, how less is more? It applies to your characters too.   Less detail makes for more believable characters.   Carlton entered the room. Six feet tall, broad-shouldered, he wore a finely tailored three-piece pinstri

Review of Revenge "Sacrifice": Finally back to Vengeance!

Alright, I don't do enough reviews or writing nowadays with my busy schedule, but I will take some time to write this one about ABC's night time soap Revenge. Yes, I freely admit it, I am hooked on the story and the raw emotions of the characters.   Basically, we got several dead people, a symbolic catharsis, and a complex storyline centering on revenge coming.   I won't offer you too many spoilers, but Emily is definitely not going to be the same after this fiasco. Nor do I think will Jack,

So Folks, this here will be my very first blog entry! Yay! Okay, okay. Calm down. Try not to get too excited. I know I'm pretty great, but come on now. You're too kind.   Well, after a really long and hard battle, my grandfather finally passed away on Saturday. About five years ago, he collapsed in a restaurant and was taken to the hospital, where he was given a heart valve transplant. Ever since then, his health has been slowly declining.

Oh my! An update

As those who read my blog entry back in early December will remember, I discovered a couple of cottagers in one of the admin buildings at work. My blog entry and a few of the comments from members took a fairly light-hearted view of the situation. Today, I only wish I had been a bit less light-hearted about it.   At the time, security didn't really do much about it and it was soon forgotten. This morning an e-mail was circulated by our head of security advising us that all admin buildings a

Featured Story: Guitars And Crossdressers

As some might have noticed, I have taken a more active role in the GA News Blog. I will continue to do so while Robert (aka Trebs) is taking care of his health and wish him all the best in his recovery. With that being said, I don't know about anyone else, but I always enjoy having a story brought to my attention that I haven't yet read. That's what Monday's on the Gay Authors News Blog is all about. Whether it's as part of the CSR Book Club or whether it's in the form of a review. Today, we've

Good Night, My Sweet

He sleeps beneath the blossoming bows of jasmine in this breezy summer night. The call of the flowers fills the hearts of lonely travelers afar. Flowing from vale to vale, its fragrance beckon to the weary legs, Like the sirens who had once enticed the returning Greeks. And as they arrive what do they behold! A solitary bed, Nestled under the Jasmine and Elder grooves, Requiem for a love long lost. Angels sigh in the wind As sweet petals descend upon the grave of my beloved. The silver

Wacky Wednesday: Ask An Author #1

Dark came to us a while ago about an idea he had to ask some of the authors here the questions that readers were wondering. We thought it was a great idea and will now be doing a once a month feature of Ask an Author. If you have a question that you have been wanting to ask an author and, for one reason or another, haven't already asked, let Dark know and maybe he'll be able to get that answer for you!

Deadly Courthouse Shooting in Delaware

Deadly Courthouse Shooting   From I what understand, the shooting victims were a woman involved in a bitter custody dispute, as well as one of her friends. The shooter was the father of her ex-husband. The ex-husband had years ago kidnapped their children and took them on a 18-month run throughout South America. I remembered that story, and I remember that the ex-husband did his best to paint the woman as a crazed bitch and himself as the worried father. Talk about a terrible way of conclu

Concepts of "The End"

Today we have a papal resignation, unprecedented in recent history for Catholicism.   Now North Korea has also tested a nuclear weapon according to the readings of seismic activity.   However, this is not 2012, when stuff like this would have had people selling their possessions and making peace with God. Were the Mayans wrong with their math? Probably not, but people still want to believe in an end to their existence.   Look, I do believe that the world and mankind will end one day; hope

So, the title says it all, I'm annoyed and frustrated. At myself more than anything else at this point. I sit here day after day and try and write. I pull up one story after another and every single one I just stare at for a few minutes before moving onto another one. No matter how hard I try, I just can't seem to write. Well, at least nothing worth reading.   I have been determined that I was going to get some stories out this year and I've got so many good starts, but that's all they ar
