Nervous and Angry

So... I am supposed to meet up with my new online friend later today (2/9). We have been texting back and forth since the end of January (over 2000 texts) and we have a whole lot in common. I don't know why on earth I am nervous but I am.   Yes we are meeting in a public place Red Robin here locally.   He has been one of my rocks the last couple of days and maybe that's why I am so nervous. I know he knows a lot about me as I gave him the link to my blog here on GA so he could see my thought

Finally a little good news

The weather outside is a damn mess. They are expecting up to two feet of the heavy wet snow, but I don't care!   My wife is getting married. I know that makes no sense. About 9 years Tracey started working with me. She was sweet kid who didn't drive. Occasionally I gave both her and her brother a lift home, but that was really about it. Then life does one of those things that brings you together. Her grandmother passed away. No one from work was going, but I felt I should. She was so grateful

LA Woman- the Doors Last Album

The Doors released LA Woman in 1971. No one could have know that it would be their last album.   Some critics think that it may have been their best. It had a unique blend of blues and rock sounds that sold millions of albums and continues to sell.   See more here:>> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L.A._Woman   Experience it HERE!   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-wgIht3roA     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qRJIBtbc2c

Writing Prompts #208 & #209

I don't know about everyone else out there, but I always look forward to Fridays. Not just because its the start to the weekend, but because every Friday our resident prompt guru Comicfan brings us two new prompts! I couldn't tell you how many of these prompts I have started writing something for only to decide it needs to be continued. I have at least six prompts began on my computer. Maybe one these days I'll get them finished. Until then though, check out the new prompts and share them in the

Bad luck streak.

Alright, I don't know what I did in my past or former life, but lord am I paying for it now. Haven't been sleeping well, fighting with my father, worked an hour on a beta project only to have it vanish, and then the damn car. Last week on the way home the front left tire went flat. Woke up this morning, before I had even crawled out of bed, the front right tire is flat. Repairs are one thin , but my luck has been replacement. Seems I am not allowed to save a dime lately. Grrr. Sorry just needed

Websites and Internet: Examples of Moral establishment

It just hit me like a ton of bricks, the internet itself is a moral standard.   Think of it this way, each website has their own code of conduct and terms/use provisions. In essence, it is almost like a a religion setting out their commandments and tenets. People follow the rules in fear of divine retribution through God/Gods or in this case Mod/Mods/Admins of websites and forum.   However, what if people start testing the limits of the rules? What if there is no divine retribution or plague

A Phone Call Can Change Your Life

The last six or seven weeks of my life has been full of chaos and turmoil, some good, some bad. Death knocked on the family's door, happiness greeted some, and a phone call just turned my life upside down.   My hubby and I acutually sold our house and a guest house in the worst housing market ever five years ago just to be within fifty miles of my daughter and grandson. Don't get me wrong. We would not have had it any other way. They were use to having us close, and we were certainly used to h

The Ravens Win the Super Bowl

How incredibly awesome was that moment? Let me tell you, I have been breaking out in smiles randomly since yesterday.   I started the night watching the game at Grotto's Pizza, during that first amazing half by the Ravens. People there were just going wild. I even got photograped by an area magazine- I was wearing my Flacco Delaware 5 jersey, and I was standing next to a guy wearing a Flacco 5 shirt, and it was pretty cool. They took a photo of us reacting to one of the touchdowns.

A story idea or too outlandish?

I just got an idea last night about a story set in Hollywood California about a special agency that works for the big studios.   Sounds simple and easy enough, but here's the twist, they aren't the standard movie star agents, deal breakers, or Entourage-like groups that make people smile. These people are there to dig dirty secrets of the stars or even create them.   They would be the one's behind the curtain, filming sex tapes, getting movie stars into compromising situations, arranging dru

Superbowl... you mean that was today?

I try not to get upset or bent out of shape, but today was really screwed up.   On Friday I left work all excited. I had Saturday off and I was opening Sunday. I really don't follow football, yeah my brother thinks I'm daft but when did the Jets last win? Anyway for me the Superbowl simply means I get to see friends, eat, and have fun. Right?   I got to work early to find the schedule I had was wrong and had been completely rewritten. I was now closing instead. Needless to say I didn't eve

When Imagination Moves Me

I haven't written on my blog for a while. Several reasons for that. I've been working on a piece for my personal blog, one I've been doing for a fair amount of time, and been thinking it through much. Work has been pretty hectic to be fair.   I been able to catch up on some reading this week too. It is some of this which I choose to write about today, and pay tribute to some of the amazing talent that comes freely to us here on GA.   Each of us has something that makes a story, book, narrati

A little local Massachusetts politics

Sometimes, I think Democrats overreact too quickly before they consider everyone else. Republicans fall into the same on a national level as well.   http://www.wbur.org/2013/02/02/democrats-3                 The humor was that Democrats were preparing for Scott Brown to run again for Senate, because he had the best chances of winning. Everything was set to take down the Republican front man, but Scott Brown hadn't even decided to enter the fight again.   I applaud Scott Brown for n

Scottish independence?

Bad news: this has had to be moved from The Lounge Good news: you can now say what you like     Next year Scottish residents will get to vote in a referendum on whether Scotland should become an independent country. For this process to work you have to have an appropriate question. One that is simple to understand and neutrally worded.   Responsibility for coming up with a suitable wording was delegated to an independent body, the Electoral Commission, and has been accepted by the UK and

The Last Grand Master is Published

Today my newest book - The Last Grand Master is released by Dreamspinner Press. For those who've followed me, you know what it is, but here's a bit more for those who don't know.   Last year Myr asked me to write something for the Premium Content sections of GA. I did. It was titled Chosen of Honorus and it is still available in Premium - always will be. After it finished posting, I was able to shop it to a publisher and Dreamspinner Press bought the book. They renamed it The Last Grand Master

Wacky Wednesday - Pulse Behind The Ga Crowd

I'd like to thank Yettie One for his regular feature here at the GA News Blog - the Pulse Behind the GA Crowd. This month, he gives us a great interview with KingdombytheSea. Enjoy!   Pulse behind the GA Crowd by Yettie One       In the tail end of December I managed to pin KingdomByTheSea down while she was in Costa Rica (lucky fish) and grill her about her time here on GA. For me this proved to be an interesting insight into a long standing member of GA and the self published writer Sa

Decluttering

So every once in awhile, I get into a mode of getting rid of stuff that I have, whether it's old clothes I never wear anymore, books I no longer want to read, or newspaper articles that I once saved but decided to get rid of.   I'm in that mode right now...I'm selling off my old books from college(Don't worry, I saved the books I really love), and I went through my old newspaper collection(stuff saved from 1998 all the way up to 2008)...I'm probably going to look at my clothes at some point, a

I miss my old GA/Writing Life

Back in July '10 when I joined GA I had these 'dreams' for my writing life. I wanted to get get better, write more and one day get published. I suppose I believed the last part wasn't a pipe dream, but a part me also expected to get shot down by the readers here and told, 'yeah, you need a lot of work.' So fast forward two and a half years and I've been fortunate to say the least. One book out, one book due out in three days, and a third July. The GA readers have been extremely generous with
