    By Cia

    Ha! Did you think it was time to share the stories and authors? No!! Total clickbait. Heehee! That's right, time to vote on your favorite! Now, to be fair, it would be ideal to have read ALL the stories. Can you vote without having read them? YES! Because this is about your favorite use of our theme of Forbidden Knowledge that you read in this year's Secret Author Forbidden Knowledge stories. Pick a SINGLE title, this isn't your top three. It doesn't even have to be your favorite overall st

I Write Sins Not Tragedies.

Panic At The Disco's, That Green Gentleman (Things Have Changed) Things are shaping up to be pretty odd. Little deaths in musical beds. So it seems I'm someone I've never met.   You will only hear these elegant crimes, Fall on your ears from criminal dimes. They spill unfound from a pretty mouth.   everybody gets there and everybody gets their way. I never said I missed her when everybody kissed her, Now I'm the only one to blame.   Things have changed for me, and that's okay. I fe

S.L. Lewis Many Thoughts and Updates

Just some thoughts...

You know, when I left for a small amount of time, the "Caught" thread in the Q&A section of the lounge was open. Then, I come back and it's closed. No explanation, no nothing. I can understand that it was closed and I don't really mind it, but this is the SECOND frickin' time that it's been closed. The first time, I know why it was. This time, I have an inkling on why, but that's mostly because I've read the last two pages of pages. By reading those, I've figured out a possible reason as t

Climate Change- please get it right!

Climate change is very real and it has been going on in cycles since the planet formed.   Three Orbital cycles that affect climate: Orbital Eccentricity: 100,000 year Cycle Orbital Tilt: 42,000 year cycle Orbital Wobble: 25,800 year cycle   Orbital Eccentricity: the earth's orbit around the sun forms an ellipse. Every 100,000 years or so the ellipse "flops" into a pattern that changes solar exposure. This trend is working is way to a peak this century.   Orbital Tilt: The t

ARGH! - No I'm not a pirate

Well, now that I've vented a bit, I feel like I'm finally calm enough to write a post that all of you can read   I'll start with the exs. It seems that everyone of my exs seems to be contacting me lately. Well, not every one of them, but a lot of them. First, the most recent ex continues to send random texts asking me what's up or if I'm still awake at 2am. Some people sleep you know! Not me, but if I was normal, I'd probably be in bed!   Then last night I got a phone call from Michael. If

Stop saying 'pencil'!

So if anyone else says the word 'pencil' to me today I swear I'm going to scream!   All day it was:   "Mr. Face (no that's not my real last name, but I'm not giving it out over the internet), can I go sharpen my pencil?"   "Mr. Face, so and so stole my pencil"   "Mr. Face, my pencil broke again"   "Mr. Face, I need to borrow a pencil"   "Mr. Face, I lost that pencil"     I swear it got to the point that I was fantasizing about having this giant bucket filled with pre-sharpened pen

One word; One million definitions....

Maybe it is the season, maybe it is something else, but there seems to be a lot of talk about love these days. Whether the topic be about friends with bennies, or taking a significant other for life, the underlying emotion is love; to me at any rate.   It's such an innocuous word, love. All to often thrown around at a whim, or a panging of the soul, but what does it mean? Sure we all have our own definition of the word, our own belief, or idea. Often, however, it isn't a idea that translates i

how do you spell blalalalallalalalah?

I guess that means that I have SO MUCH going on in my head right now that I can't even begin to try and figure out how to get it out, and into here, so all that's coming out is blalalallalalah. Fair warning i guess...   So lemme see...   Anthology submission finished, and on time! GASP I'm afraid I have good news and bad news about that... which do you want first? (I always say bad, if it matters, so I guess we'll go that route.) Bad news: This STILL isn't the end... there will be one more

days of... huh?

Okay, so monday, i go out with my friend and her fiance. We saw vantage point.... I loved it. President Ashton... has a nice ring to it, lol.   After the movie we went to dinner at Chilis.... I love their Nachos and they have this tasty fruity drink that goes 2 for 1.   After dinner we went driving... didn't really care where we were going... drove all the way to the end of university parkway, then turned around and went the other direction towards the airport. It was during this time that

Update about stories #1

I should be releasing a new chapter of Second Chances soon. Beyond that, I am reviewing anthologies. Therefore, I will not be working on my stories as much. As soon as I finish the reviews, I shall be working on finishing Dark Earth: The Prophecy Chapter 12 and the three remaining chapters of Book 1 of the series.

Melancholy ... the broken staff of life

Awake

It's 2:30 a.m. and I'm awake.   I suppose I should be asleep, but I'm not.   Insomnia is one of the many side effects of the mood stabilizer I'm taking. It also causes drowsiness. So you end up being sleepy when you're suppose to be awake and doggedly awake when you're suppose to be asleep.   So, I worked on the new book. I'm probably on the last section of the second chapter. I can't see adding much more to this chapter once I finish with Euphorbia and Casey.   The third chapter will co

S.L. Lewis Many Thoughts and Updates

Just updating

So, I'm alive and well. I've been working my stories. I have started to post 100 Flash Stories and have since posted a story that has helped me in purging my demons. I'm also working on a new story. Jason and Gary have both looked over it. Apparently Jason wants to read the next chapter right now since I've only written the prolongue. I plan on working on the first chapter some more, but for now, I need sleep and I need to let my hand and wrist relax. My carpal tunnel is acting up again. *le s

Zot spot

Hey, wait a sec, this is third person!

I always forget that, especially when writing about Ben and William.   One of the cardinal sins of writing in the first person is switching points of view. You need to pick one character and stick with him or her -- no changing in the middle. Yes, I know a lot of 'net fiction does this, but it just doesn't work. (If it did you'd see it in commercial fiction, something I had pointed out to me once. I've read exactly two books that have done this, and it didn't work well in either. And if Diann

Holes & 95 shades of Crimson

Snowdog was in town for an interview, by in-town I mean in the general Southern California area. It was neat, hadn't seen him since San Francisco.   Quick version of events.   Stowed my backpack in the trunk with recyclables.   Chatted with Snow and Viv while driving out to Anaheim.   Hung out at Viv's house for a few hours. She apparently cleaned for our arrival. Her son commented that it was odd that the place was clean , after he tried to con me into feeding the dog. What's with kid

Why take a life partner?

I was going to write this deep, brooding blog entry. Actually I did. And I posted it. Only I posted it in my personal, no-one-has-access-or-even-knows-about-it journal. The catharsis came simply from writing it and I didn't actually want to make people sit and wonder what words of support they could offer to make me feel better when really I was already feeling fine having written it.   So I do feel better. Emotional crisis averted and all that jazz.   Then if my still contemplative b

Say what?

ARGH! Ever have a night where you can't stop thinking? It's one of those nights for me. Thoughts keep going through my head and I'm not entirely sure that's a good thing. Usually when I sit and think it never turns out well, but we'll see. At least it's a nice night outside so I can leave my door open and get a breeze.   Not much new to update on. I think my brother knows I'm gay now if he didn't know before. We were having a party and the boyfriend had some homework due the next day so he was

New Content Block

For my own amusement, I started keeping track of how many new reads and reviews I was getting for each of my stories as well as keeping track of how many new chapters are being put out on a week to week basis... this helps me track how popular stories are in the present, rather than just how many times they have ever been read. My good friend TL The Writing Tiger mentioned that would be an excellent thing to add to a blog... and so I tried to do just that... the thing is, it wouldn't all fit int

Poetry versus long stories

Lately I have been writing poetry. It really does seem to be a good way to vent. I just wanted everyone to know, however, that I am still working on a chapter for DE:TP. In fact, I wrote several pages yesterday.   In other news, I have also started reading Rich Boy: Awakening. I must say I am liking it so far. I want to be caught up and ready for new chapters of the sequel within the next week or so. If you have not read it, I suggest it.

pig-latin style...

Okay so... pig-latin. Let me see if I can explain this in a way so as not to complicate it for those of you who have no idea what it is.   It's a made up, kid type language that we all learn as kids here, and basically the way it works is that you take the first letter or sound in a word and move it to the end of the word, and then add a long A sound to the end. So, for example, the word 'dog' would sound like 'og-day' or the the word 'cat' would sound like 'at-kay'. Get it?   So anyway,

I guess it's time to say something

Well, this is my very first entry in my very first blog. I better not set the expectations too high - posts will be few and far between, as I'm busy, busy, busy. . . .   If any of you have read my story, The New Job, you know that I moved here after my department was consolidated into another. A colleague of mine, a "friend", or should we say former friend, offered me a position as more of a lifeline than anything else. Unfortunately, the thing is that if anyone should never have become a
