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

    By wildone

    First a disclaimer, I'm tired and none of me editors are around to read the wrap up for me   I hate to say but the first couple of weeks have been terrible for our US friends and neighbours it seems. With LA burning down and the east and southeast getting blasted by ice and snow, I have to say I hope that all of them are okay  I'm sure there is other places too that are having strange and wakey weather too, like Friday we had an actual thunderstorm (rain) and a blizzard Saturday night.

Pandora

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 bio-hazard 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.   W

The Countdown is On

Tomorrow is Halloween. I'm closing, or to be more accurate I am working a midnight release of another crappy video game at my damn store on Halloween. i don't know if my car will be egged, people will be in costume or what. All I do know is i can't get dressed up. I'll just be my boring old self. Unfortunately with the hours I had this weekend I didn't even make a holiday party at all. I made it home late tonight and missed the start of my show, Once Upon a Time.   Anyway, the countdown is al

See My Secrets... See My Shame...

Boner-deflating or not?

I am working on a story with a scene where the main character is having his first bit of man sex after being in a long term relationship with a woman. The woman is now deceased and has been for two years. He is testing the waters so to speak about his own sexuality agian, prior to his marriage he had played both sides of the fence.   During the man-sex the new fling preforms a sexual act that his wife would never do. He mentally makes that connection.   The problem comes in that one of m

I'm Dreaming of a White Halloween?

Okay, so here we are just two days away from Halloween. I mean you should walking outside, enjoying the falling leaves, the colors still changing, and air beginning to a sharp nip to it.   Mother Nature however, has other plans. Today we are getting a snow storm. Let me correct that, there is a snow storm five miles north of me, I'm getting rain and hail.   I have friends who still live up in Connecticut. They have been without power, buried under snow, no heat, and all the joys you might ex

Update on the Weight.

Okay so I don't care who you are what you are trying to accomplish but sometimes things go astray. I'm human. I do things I know I shouldn't. For the last two weeks at Weight Watchers I gained. It wasn't huge, only .6 lbs a week, but after two weeks that was 1.2 pounds I had put back on. The reason, I simply wasn't careful.   So moving on to this week. I've been working more, running like an idiot all week, and oh yeah no sleep. So I wasn't exactly expecting to see anything on the scale this w

You have the Power

Life can sometimes seem like you are just barely holding on to a thin weak string. Having a hard enough time that you are just getting through life one day at a time, and can't see a reason why to plan your life any further than one day at a time. But the truth is, nothing lasts forever, including bad times.   I have had my share of things gone wrong. At 15, I realized I was more interested in guys and their bodies than girls. This lead me to getting caught sneaking a peek at a high school spo

Damn Prompts

Yes, you read that right, I said Damn Prompts and I meant it. The problem is I create the suckers now. I felt I should use some ideas for stories I had but just hadn't had time to get to. Smart idea, right? Wrong.   There is a reason some of these things have launched much longer stories than just the small page to two pages stories they should. My real complaint is that I read Cia's take on one of my prompts and felt inspired to go ahead and write my own take on it. I loved her interplay wit

What once was is now lost.

Lazy.

No matter what you say, no matter what you do, you're never going to stop me. You know why? Because I'm going to stop myself. You know why? Because I'm lazy... The End.

Depression: A 21 year odyssey

It really just sucks the life out of you. To be completely honest, Ive been finding it harder and harder to care about things - and this entry will be a bit scattered and Im sorry for that, but I just had to get my thoughts down.   I was pretty close to voluntarily committing myself because of all the issues in my head, but I got over it. But now its back.   Ya know that saying, time heals all wounds, or whatever? Well thats bullshit with depression. It doesnt get easier to deal with, it jus

See My Secrets... See My Shame...

NaNoWriMo

It's nearly November. For most people in the USA that means sacrifice the birds! It is the beginning of the annual family overdose, crowded malls, endless bombardment of "buy me or feel guilty for disappointing your loved ones" advertising, too much turkey, fattening a goose, and other strange but once a year customs that you put up just for the sake of traditon and (sometimes questionably) loved ones.   For me, November also means a total break from sanity -- and a chance to overdose on caffi

Waiting and Wondering

First the waiting. I am as bad as anyone else when it comes to stories. I hate waiting. I have had to do it often enough. Stu has a wonderful story, Seeing Double, that had a few months between chapters. I know because I have been waiting for the end like everyone else. I presently am keeping everyone waiting because I am still trying to get things back from my editor and beta for Accidents Happen. I had hoped it would be done by chapter 30 but realize it will now drag on for one more chapter.

Secrets of the Past Revealed Repost

As some of you may recall, several years ago, I posted an entry called "Secrets of the Past Revealed". That was back in 2008 or so, and there have been many new members since then who don't know the story, so I'm going to quote myself.

seeing him again. -

"I still love him. But I don't want to love him anymore. I don't want to hurt anymore. Please."   Funny how that was only months ago, when you left me, & Adele was my only savior.   I thought I'd moved on, but when I saw you today, I knew that my feelings never really went away. You were sitting there in your favourite grey school sweatpants, your headphones over your ears & your fingers curled over a coffee mug. Your foot was tapping along to a beat only you could hear, and

Back to the Grind

Well my vacation draws to an end and I realize I got a lot but not everything I wanted done. However I did get to relax and didn't over do anything. I also got to enjoy the fair this year so really not a bad vacation at all.   I have finished up one and half of the last three chapters of Accidents Happen. Tomorrow after one more look over I will send it to my editor and beta. That in and of itself is major for me. I have begun work on my next major story, the expansion of my summer Anthology p

Small Blessings

Every once in a while things come along that excite you or make your life better. Sometimes it something major - a new car, a new outfit, or a new lover. Sometimes it something small - a card, money found in the pocket of a jacket, a phone call that makes you smile.   Lately I have been blessed. I am not sure how else to put it. Things in life rarely go as one would hope. There are obstacles that pop up, things you need to overcome, and more often than not - your own stupidity to correct. I kn

University of Police Fascist State

http://www.udreview.com/udpd-steps-up-tailgate-regulation-1.2641368   I love reading about how my alma matter has turned into a fascist police state where no students are allowed to have fun. J-walkers and tailgaters get punished, yet that same weekend three students were robbed by gun point and the UD police didn't give a damn because they don't make money off of them like they do fining students over ridiculous reasons.   University of Delaware was once a great school, with lots of u

Finishing Everything

Ever feel like you are so far behind you might never catch up? I get that way occasionally. I mean, well, it seems my life is going on without me and now I have to try to play a part in it. I don't know if that makes sense.   Anyway, I got a lot accomplished today. Chapter 27 is in the hands of my beta and editor. I'm working on 28 and nearly done. I guess you can say I am not the world's most patient person so I published Red ahead of time. That only leaves one more chapter. With the way I am

Update on published story updates and future ones.

Hey Yall,   I wanted to drop in and give everyone a quick update on what's going with me and my work, for those people who follow me.   Some of you might know that I just started training for a new job, I'm training (basic hours) 9am to 5pm. However I might get out later than that and I also have *homework* that I have to do each night. Since I have to be up so early to commute to class I'm not getting much writing done so an update to Indiana Summer might take a little bit more time than

Creature Creation

I've been punting around this were idea I've been having but I don't want your typical were-creature. Werewolves, werecats, etc are soooo over done. So I was thinking about some other type of creature. I've also seen snakes, seals, bears, and rats in various literature. Anyway... what about a wolverine? Mongoose? some sort of insectoid?   I've been trying to think of the pros and cons of each, why they would be "best" for a were. That sort of thing. Most of it comes down to mass. Large

Relive the past

Relive the past   Last few days, I divide my time between my work and writing my memoirs. Nephylim persuaded me to make the story of my life available to all GA members. It seemed to her that my story might interest other than me and that everyone could learn from my experiences.   Be a model is not an easy task, but if I take her words, I managed to achieve personal fulfillment and I could well give courage and hope to all those younger than me, who fight and struggle to overcome their dif

Riverhead County Fair ... Finally

Today was finally the Riverhead County Fair. I managed to get out to it and had a nice time. There were quilts, cakes, cookies, and other goodies that were entered into contests that I walked around and looked at. There were also fields of funnel cakes, apple fritters, sausages, kielbasa, hot dogs, hamburgers, cheese steak sandwiches, clams, fish, french fries, kettle corn, and so much other food you could explode from just smelling it. There were booths selling yard decorations, hair ribbons, c

Fair was not fair

As the old saying goes, the best laid plans of mice and men. Well originally I had plans to go to the Riverhead fair today. That wasn't to be. The website for the fair announced it was Saturday October 9th. That is correct. Today is the 8th and tomorrow is the 9th. Someone mistyped Saturday instead of Sunday. Oh well. It simply means I go tomorrow.   Not one to waste a day, considering I was already in Riverhead, I went to the outlet mall. While there I found gifts for friends whose birthday a
