    Emotional Rescue

    By Cole Matthews

    Ahhhh!  The plot is thickening.  The characters have developed perfectly.  You have balanced your pace so there is riveting action, informative scene setting, and a richness to your tableau.  Everything seems to be going so well, and yet, your beta reader drops a bomb on you.  "It's just falling flat."   What are you supposed to do?  Where do you turn?  How can you enrich and round out your characters?  How about a little emotional rescue?  Let's try filling in the back story of y

Sunny's Angel rant part deux

Okay...so people have been asking for more of Sunny's Angel. The last time I posted a chapter for this story was in July. I started writing chapter 10, I even have notes, but I go back and look at it, and I ask myself, what the hell was I thinking. I continue to think about it now and after going through the chapters, the only thing that comes to mind is deleting the entire story and rewriting it in its entirety.   I just don't know what to do with the story anymore. I was so proud of what I h

Civil War

I have remembered a while back talking to this right wing kook. He thought that anyone who happened to be liberal was a communist and an anti-American. He was from Tennessee as I recall (not that all people from there think that way), and he said that he had build a compound. He was supposedly preparing for a second civil war, one basically between conservatives and liberals. Thinking about it now I wonder. What if there were actually a civil war in the US, one fought between liberals and conser

Rebellion!

Epsilon Ceti Alliance Sector Command Center   It was shortly after 03:30 in the Command Center. The graveyard shift was on their second and third cups of coffee and praying that nothing bad would happen on their watch. A week before the vast majority of the fleet had jumped away to take part in a major offensive against the Andromeden invaders. All that was left was a small task force at Lamda Indi and the ships that weren't ready to jump when the fleet moved out. The cupboard was as bare as

Greed

A nice word to start a blog. Don't you think?   Some people are just greedy. They want everything. I call them bisexuals. I know that I'm shooting in my own lines but well that's it... I've been thinking a lot about my life lately (sometimes you'd just do anything to avoid doing what you have to do, like work

Some Old Broad At a Restaurant

I was eating lunch at a restaurant a few days ago. I went by myself to get some peace and quiet while I was grading finals. Peace and quiet. Yeah right.   My table was in the corner, and there was another table to my right, set up so the person on the opposite side was facing me. There was an older woman and a younger woman at the table talking, while the old broad was facing my table so I could hear her just as well as her friend. Plus you know how some of those old people have problem

Good News Everybody!

A new chapter of Twilight will be posted at AwesomeDude Saturday!   It has no fat or cholesterol and is much less hazardous than Morbo the Destroyer, Omicronians or Spiderians.

For Sale: Gaydar (1968 Model)

slightly used, 1968 Model Gaydar for sale $100 (OBO) - serious inquiries only   -made in the Philippines -works well for finding gays that owner is not attracted to -has a tendancy to false positive on tall, dark brown haired, pale, thin (skeletal, according to my hags) straight guys with puppy dog eyes     Yeah, my gaydar sucks. Or maybe it's just my use of it? They really need to teach a class or hand out instructions on how to use this thing. Mine operates more on the basis of wish

If there are any typos...

I blame the fact that I cannot feel my hands. Our heater hasn't worked for like... 4 or 5 years now and it's 45 in here. I literally don't need a refrigerator for my food. Also, if we ever meet and you wonder why my skin is so well preserved and I look far younger than my 32 years... that would be why. Between working and living where the average temperature is WAY TOO f**kING COLD, I maintain my youthful appearance apparently.   Last blog I mentioned that my house is in foreclosure and so I t

Melancholy ... the broken staff of life

It was wrong

Stepped on the scale this morning. It wasn't quite awake.   It said 275.5.   That was obviously an incorrect answer.   Stepped on the scale again.   It said 277.   I can live with that.   (277 = -15 lbs. in 1 year)   I can live with losing 15 pounds.   Now, all I have to do is get through Xmas.

WTH?

How is it Christmas again? Who said that was okay?   Things have been good. Plugging away at school. I missed the deadline to apply for a TAG (Transfer Admission Guarantee). Which is okay I guess because I didn't think I was going to have the credits required for that by next Fall. Instead I find myself applying with out the guarantee. This is scary, considering the filing period for the application closed on the 30th. However, it seems UCR and two other UC campuses are still accepting transfe

Liukas Soli's World of Words

First Entry - Beginning first story

I joined GA a few days ago now. And I feel like I've accomplished so much already. I connected with a couple of my favorite authors, began a story with the first chapter already posted to eFiction, and have already seen two good reviews on it so far. But now, work continues. I am beginning Chapter 2 of In Anticipation. I'm not too sure how it will go - I do not want to rush into things with this story. I feel like I rushed through Chapter 1 already. Hopefully Chapter 2 will appear, at least in m

Little Buddha's Thatched Hut

Yes, I'm still alive ...

Yikes, I can't believe it's been, like, 8 months since my last blog! It's amazing how quickly life passes by sometimes ...   Anyway, since my last blog post, I closed on my new house, spent about a month dealing with contractors to completely renovate the whole place (quite the undertaking -- both in terms of the stress involved and the cost!) But, I'm all settled in and love it. The commute to work is awful, but living sort of out in the country is nice -- peaceful and quiet! Moving from a 60

Hot Young Guys Haven't Got a Clue.

I think it's one of the great ironies in life that when we are young and at our hottest, our insecurities simultaneously blind us to that fact. I've seen that with lots of guys on this site. Guys like Lacey (he's so cute) or Patrick (with those amazing blue eyes) or even Chase (with his faux-asshole attitude), who have no idea how amazingly handsome and attractive they are. Well, maybe Chase does.   I think back some twenty five years ago and look at pictures of myself back then, and reme

Breaking Up

So I'd been dating that guy from my last entry until tonight. Tomorrow would have been three weeks and I knew I just wasn't seeing it as a long term thing so we broke up tonight. I'm actually pretty proud of myself. I'm getting better at breaking up with people. I was kind but firm. In the past I haven't been blunt enough and things have been apt to drag on. I did fumble a bit though. I decided to approach it from the angle of, "now seems like a good time to evaluate where this is going,

Thinking About War

It seems that President Obama has decided to send more troops to Afghanistan. While I'm not surprised, I am disappointed. Instead of exit strategy, it seems we have expansion of the war effort. Maybe there's a better way than war. War costs human lives. Even when they are bombing buildings that harbor terrorists, there are often innocent people close by, perhaps even inside being held hostage. Am I wrong in wanting a world without war. Why is it that no one seems to value peace at all?

What once was is now lost.

Bah

I apparently lost 6 pounds within the past week, which may or may not be because of the fact that I've been working 12 + hours this entire week for this big event I'm in charge of on Saturday, and school is at the point where I have papers literaily coming out of my ass therefore food has been the last thing on my mind. To all my fans, hate to say it but I have yet to write anymore of Last Goodbye, and sadly I honestly don't know when I'll have the time anymore. I'm losing too much hours from th

S.L. Lewis Many Thoughts and Updates

Tired now...

I...am unbelievably exhausted. Why am I so exhausted?   I have been working non stop on my damn NaNoWriMo thing (which I finished with 50,200 something words. Exact amounts can be found at my account, Candy_Lips).   I...have also been sick, lost my screen back in October and have been selling literary commissions. If you're interested in hearing my sale prices, PM me. Please. I could use the money to get people off my back out cash I don't have.   Anyways....   I also have a hideously na
