    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

addendum -n

post #2 today...   normally I wouldn't but this is somewhat annoying.   I was having a bit of a back and forth with Nephylim today (You can check it out here) We had a few back and forth posts about expressing ones opinion and what not. and thats all well and good. but as she pointed out in a post the thread was getting a lot of negative reps. More clearly my posts were getting a lot of negative reps.   This is just all well and funny. Nothing in any of those posts was out of line but all

partly cloudy with a 10% chance of piss...

I lurk around at a number of websites. Here and a few that have to do with Apple (I must be a masochist) anyhow I have been annoyed as of late because all it seems like anymore is people just bitching for the sake of bitching. One of the Apple websites isn't so much pro-Apple as it is anti-Microsoft. There was a article today about the new Google Chrome OS and how dispite the abject failure of network appliances in the past this new "thing" is going to further hurt Microsoft and drive them into

Interested?

So I realize it's been months since I last blogged and a lot of new people on here are probably seeing this wondering who the hell I am, but oh well. Usually I write a lot on these when I did my 'monthly updates' but since it's been a while I'll try and keep it to short(er) bullet points   - My first term is finally over. My professors seemed to think most of the essays that I half-assed at 3 in the morning were 'phenomenal' compared to the rest of the class... I just take that as me going to

ratemyprofessors.com

That's the website. Ratemyprofessors.com. It's pretty surprising that this little resource actually works. I don't know if you've ever been there, but it's a place where "students" can go and rate their professors. They have categories in ease of the class, quality of the case, and a place for comments. They even have a chili pepper for "hot" professors.   Sounds great right? Well, it's funny how absolutely despised this site is by Academia, meaning the professors. And it's not even s

Foundations and I

Foundations   Thursday night, everything's fine Except you've got that look in your eye When I'm tellin' a story and you find it boring You're thinking of something to say You'll go along with it, then drop it And humiliate me in front of our friends   Then I'll use that voice that you find annoyin' And say something like: "Yeah, intelligent input, darlin' Why don't you just have another beer, then?" Then you'll call me a bitch And everyone we're with will be embarrassed And I won

Nobody likes you when you're 23.

what goes around...

So there's this Australian politician who yesterday told a press conference that he was molested by his scoutmaster.   (Link here) Now usually, I would not go anywhere near the subject of child abuse. It's f**ked, it's wrong, and there's an especially fiery place in hell for those who do it. But this guy is the public face of political conservatism, and represents a party whose core political belief is that gay people are second-class citizens.   He's anti-LGBT adoption, he's anti-IVF t

::waves hand jedi style:: this is not the blog you're looking for

These words are absolutely a figment of your imagination...   I've started to write a blog here about fourteen times in the last month, and every time I click 'Add Entry' this overwhelming feeling comes over me that I won't be able to do it justice because my brain is focused on about forty-seven different things and so, I quit before I even start.   In case you were wondering what actually happened to me... High School Marching Band and Colorguard ATE MY SOUL. No lie.   In addition to t

Random Thoughts of an Alpha Female

Milestones

50...   I hit 50 today. I am both depressed and fascinated. Who the hell ever thinks they'll be 50? I'm having a drink, maybe two in honor of myself.   And, you know, I'm not doing too bad for an old broad. But tomorrow I'm going back to 39 and a half.

An update

So I got up at 5:30 this morning and went for a long run. I usually do it at 3:30, but for the last three days, I haven't been able to. Well, I had a lot of pent up energy inside and it all came out this morning. There's something about being able to get away from everything and everyone and having a little private time when nobody else is out that I love. I get to process my thoughts and make plans for my day, for my week, or even for the distant future.   Kate and I have finally decided to c

Gym Beast and the Gym Bunny

I joined a gym about a month ago. My last gym went bankrupt and left me hanging with four months of dues.   I know the owner and like the equipment so I have a lot more confidence. I haven't worked out regularly for a while so I decided to start with a lot of aerobic stuff. I didn't touch a weight for a couple of weeks.   Every morning I first started I spent 45 minutes to an hour on a stationary bike.   Once I got my stamina back, I cut the time on the bike down and have started in on

The Beauty of the Hook-Up

We all seem to have this vision, this idyllic relationship where we find the ONE man/woman to be our soul mate, who completes us, who we can be happy, love, and have unprotected sex with. Maybe. But I was just thinking about this (Billy inspired me with that hot picture of him with the mask) and it seems that it's easy to set that as the overriding goal and to forget the fun and excitement of f**king someone new. The thrill of meeting someone and seeing if you can get into his pants, and if

Chronicles of My Life

Eternal Sunshine

Just wanted to check in and say hi to everyone. Things for me are going delightfully well. In many ways I sort of feel like my life is one long vacation. I tend to just bounce around from one pleasant activity to the next. I've been quite bouncy lately.   I have a date Friday, a proper one, not just an excuse to...anyway, I enjoy those sorts of "dates" too, but this is a proper date. I'm quite excited about this boy. So far he seems ridiculously sweet and adorable. It was quiet day at

Wow, it have been almost a month since the last time I updated. First of the all, I am so glad that YANKEES WON THE WORLD SERIES AGAINST PHILLIES!!!!!!!!!! NUMBER 27, HELL YEAH!!! Thank you, Matsui for hitting the LAST HOMERUN CAUSING YANKEES TO WIN THE GAME! I felt bad for Phillies even though I am not fan of Phillies. Phillies was one of my favorite teachers', who just passed away last December, baseball team. It's just hard to believe that next month will marked a year since she passed away.

I'm Ba-ack

w00t!   My computer lives!   I got it running this evening.   Sure, I like my laptop but it's just not the same.   I had to replace my UPS. It was on the floor and got wet. Everything else I broke down and stashed in the attic.   My recovery from the Halloween flood continues.   I'm Ba-ack. Buh-wa-ha-haha     Twilight readers... the next chapter will be released shortly.

Musings From Me

My JR <3

Well... today was f**king brilliant. just bloody brilliant.   We started off both on our buses texting each other, really excited. We talked LOADS. then we had to find each other in the bus station and yeah that was difficult. So we found each other and obviously started talking. It was good, we did a few of his errands and such and just were friends.       We got back to his place and got comfy, he was sitting on the chair opposite me, i was sitting on the bed. We started talking and we

Elisha the Prophet

I went to a Bar Mitzvah today, a pretty rare event for a goy like me. I have to say that the music was awesome, a real "folk music" feel to it. I like the upbeat stuff, the mellow stuff was too plaintive.   Anyway, one of the themes of the service was the story of the prophet Elisha. The story as presented was that this barren couple gave the prophet a place to crash. He told them that within a year they'd have a kid. And they did. Then the kid got older, got hurt and died. So the mothe

Election

Well, I cast my first vote in an election yesterday, and I'm happy to say that almost all of the people I voted for won here in Virginia. The moderate Bob McDonnell trashed the extremist Creigh Deeds, the left of center candidate for Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli easily defeated the radical Steve Shannon and a bunch of local republicans won here as well. The only candidate that I voted for who didn't win was Jody Wagner, but I don't really think this was a good year for her to run. She was a g

Third Year

My third year at GA began on Halloween. It does not seem like it's been that long, but it has. It was great finding this community, and despite some notable disagreements throughout my time here, I love GA. At times people have tried my patience. I'm certainly not universally loved, but is anyone? I am like a gathering storm at times, and when lightning strikes, there's a tendency for destruction. I won't mention names, but I do regret some of those situations and how certain people were affecte

It's it... confessions of a supposed serial pessimist

Ive been quiet lately, out of fear of sounding like a wet rag or something   lol in truth nothing really has been happening that has been noteworthy. Ive been meeting guys for coffee and what not. Nothing comes of it, most fail the initial inspection and find themselves categorized securely in the friends/acquaintance column.   Speaking of, I got a text Friday night semi inviting me to a Halloween party because the guy didn't have anyone else to go with and would not know anyone else there.

The Prophecies

Bought Lady Antebellum's "Need you Now." I realize I'm starting to develop a drunk dial playlist, and I don't quite know what to make of that. They aren't even all country songs.   Didn't have a chance to grab more of the dream down yesterday, and now I only really remember this one bit.   There were once three witches, one good, one bad, and the enigmatic Madame Grey. It was never to be known what Madame Grey desired in her heart of hearts, or even if she had such a thing at all, but both
