    October Signature Feature: Topher Lydon's Reunion

    By Cia

    It is said that at the end of this month the veil thins and a reunion of sorts can happen between souls and those they leave behind. What about reunions of a different sort and people that get left behind in our lives? Can those reconnections be made again?  Length:  3,756 Description: Two best friends. Ten years of lies. One reunion that changes everything. Kyle and Nile have spent a decade pretending they're fine—pretending they're successful, pretending their marriages weren't

Apple Pie Alamode Ice Cream and Squirt Guns!

Well spending the past few days resting (and a few more in the future doing the same) with limited activity, all I can say is that I'm enjoying the time I'm spending with my friends who are coming over to visit me, and watching people interact on GA. Seriously, I've never been more entertained then I was last night   Oh, the reason for my blog title is simple, my friend stopped by yesterday night and hung out with me for a little bit. She brought my favorite cold stone ice cream and brought m

Vacation.... postponed...

Well... I get out of bed today all ready to catch the bus to meet up with Tara in Philly so we could head out on the retreat she invited me on when Tiger (my cat) decides to run between me. I lost my balance and fell down my steps. As I go to get up, start to see stars. Turns out when you fall down the steps and land on your shoulder, you have a good chance of dislocating it. Lucky for me my mom was home and heard the comotion (cat yelling, me yelling and cussin, someone falling down the stairs)

I have the same birthday as Lily... I finally like Kathleen. Almost done!   I'd finish now, but I'm asleep already... Tomorrow.   Hugs, Viv   PS... Someone do me a favor and tell the sunshine to chill a little... over 100 degrees for too many days than I can count now. :wacko:   PS2... (Not the gaming system, but another addition) 9 days until I have my angel next to me

Vacation is where i'll be!

Well today proved to be a busy day. I managed to finish up Truthfully (yay!) thanks to my friend Scott having a rough copy of it and hopefully it'll get read by Drewbie and he can tell me what it needs and what it doesn't (thanks! it's much appreciated!)   Tomorrow I leave to go to PA and go out on a spiritual retreat with my friend Tara. I'm really hoping that I can understand some of the enigmas plaguing me lately.   Word of warning CJames... if I come back to find any of the LTMP characte

4 Meat free days...well, almost. Plus, Nafta 4

Ok, so it's been 4 nearly meat free days for me I can't say that I haven't indulged a little, since I had 3 ounces of shrimp with my dinner last night, but so far I'm doing pretty good My diet has mainly consisted of leafy greens, colorful fruits and berries, whole grain carbs and at least a gallon of water a day. I was craving seafood last night, so I had my stepmom saut

Good and Bad News

Bad News: Well, suffice to say that I learned a very very important lesson yesterday, never open emails that look suspicious. I lost everything, my writings, music, pictures, videos, everything. I got a virus on my laptop and it erased everything. It's going to take me at the least a month to get back to where I was with my stories (and hopefully I can get some of the rough copies I sent in my email to my friends). I can try to piece back together what I had written from my writing journals. If

To a Child Not Yet Born

I have just finished reading one of the best books I have ever read in my entire life. It was pristinely crystalline. Perfect. I'm still in shock that it was able to make me not stop reading it all the way through. That hasn't happened to me in years.   A Density of Souls, by Christopher Rice   It was just... amazing. I saw a lot of things coming, as usual, but it was so detailed, so complex, so absolutely and indescribably perfect!   Stephen is perfectly written. All of the char

What once was is now lost.

Forever...

Have you ever had a dream you would give anything for, to never end? A dream that's so powerful you remember it for days, weeks, one that bothers you so much all you can do is think about it non stop. :wacko:   What about a song, that has so much meaning, a lot of people wouldn't understand, but to you it's like a light bulb just lit up! A song that you must have listened to for the past 24 hours straight, and no matter how much you listen to it you just can't seem to get sick of it, because

Reflections of Dark Earth: The Prophecy

I have just posted the final chapter of Dark Earth: The Prophecy. You can find it here. I also realize how some readers only like to read complete novels, and here it is from the beginning. For those who have not read it, I have a brief discussion of major characters and my motivations as an author.   Imagine a world where the sun never shines and there is a constant threat of death. Dark Earth: The Prophecy is my first completed novel, and I loved exploring this world and bringing it to life

Melancholy ... the broken staff of life

Grand Island, NE

Way back when the pioneers were slogging their way into the Platte River valley from Kansas, they found a large island in the river, hence the name. Back then, it was a great big island, twenty-three miles long. What's that, a day on a horse? The US Army determined the up stream end of the island would be the perfect location for a fort. Of course, the Platte River was, at the time, known for being "a mile wide and an inch deep," but there was an island in the middle of it and an island is alway

Packing, Moving, Programming, Oh my!

Well... I'm moving back to the city I want to be in. I start my new job on 7/7.   I am moving this week. As such, I have been spending a LOT of time packing and going through my junk. I have more books than I thought possible. I'm going to need a large room just to hold them all.   Let's see... I have also been working on the Story Archive. There are some very major updates coming soon there. It will also be the first place we deploy the new logo. Steph has been working hard on gett

Coming out again

This weekend sucked in comparison to the last. While the company was good,the task was less then desirable.   I spent the weekend - Saturday really - helping my cousin move most of his downstairs into a storage unit in preparation for his move into a new house next month. It was going fine, he came up with the ever so brilliant idea of "Load an object... drink a beer" that worked fine for the first load, but quickly deteriorated from there. needless to say we only got about 5 or so trips to th

Fighting ignorance and educating myself

Finally, after two long months of making my initial request, I can finally say that my work is mine again. I'm not going to mention a domain, but what I will do is caution other authors to be careful where they ask to have their work hosted. Not all site owners will be as willing to take your stories down, and the process could take several weeks. It hasn't been fun, and unfortunately, this morning I had to be very assertive about what I wanted. And as everyone here knows, I hate being assertive

Dark Earth: The Prophecy and Second Chances

I just finished the final chapter of Dark Earth: The Prophecy. I am quite happy about that. I have been working on it since October, and it has taken longer than I wanted it to. However, I think the extra time has allowed me to grow as an author, and that is certainly a good thing. Now I am back to Second Chances. It has been a while since I posted a chapter. My plan is to get several chapters ahead and start posting it again. The important thing is that I know where the story is going. As some

This is my life

It seems like life gets slower when there's nothing to really look forward to. Whether it's a job or school or something like that, it slows down incredibly when there's nothing to do.   So I decided to take this time and really look indepth to where I am, where I want to go, and what I want to do, and I've come up with a todo list to be accomplished over the next few years.   Enigma's todo list: 1. Get a job that will last me through college 2. Get a car because NJTranist is horrible 3.

Mmm, Jello

So I went out last night to a house party with my friend Paul. One important fact that I have learned over the years; my favorite alcoholic drink is, by far, the jello shot. Can you think of a more perfect drink? It's not even a drink, it's a snack. That means you can have a drink at the same time. You can't taste the alcohol, only the jello-ey goodness. It's just so convenient, so fun.   I will admit that usually I don't exactly have a lot of fun at parties. I'm always either totally

If No One Notices

...this blog entry I'll just get bored and post a new one. However, I very much hope that someone notices my Anthology entry. It's the first time I've actually finished one AND decided to turn it in, quite an accomplishment let me tell you   In other news, I had an all around productive day writingwise. I bashed a chapter of the BMAD sequel and also my entry for the "Anniversaries" anthology (why not do two in a row right?)   On that score though, and I'll be very busy the next few days,

Getting into advice too

Hey, it seems everyone is giving advice, and instead of ruining Tiger's Desiderata thread, I'll make it an entry.       WORDS OF ADVICE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE     People often ask me if I have any words of advice for young people. Well, here are a few simple admonitions for young and old.   Never interfere in a boy and girl fight.   Beware of whores who say they don't want money. The hell they don't. What they mean is they want more money. Much more.   If you're doing business with a

News from the Front

A conversation I had this morning with my sister stationed in Iraq.   Her: Hey little brother. Me: Oh, hey sis! How's it going? Her: Good. I got your package. (I laugh) Me: Including the birthday card? Her: Yes. I laughed. Good timing too, since it arrived today. Me: Oh, yeah. Happy birthday. You 40 yet? Her: 36. Me: Close enough. Her: Well, Mom tells me you were moving to Texas. Me: Aigh! For crying out loud, I'm not moving to Texas. Her: I'm just repeating what I've been told. She

parking lot etiquette...

So Rich wanted to take the kids to see Kung-Fu Panda. We all pile in the car, he whines that I'm driving with his usual, "Whoa, whoa, whoa... I'll drive," and I just giggle cause I'm already getting in the car and he's too late. Mwahahahahaha!   We drive to The Block, and since it's Friday night... there's officially zero parking in this GINORMOUS place which leads to me faithfully driving up and down every aisle looking for an empty space we can occupy and getitng frustrated TWICE by some mo
