    Secret Author Contest-Forbidden Is... Revealed? Nooooo.

    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

A Moment of reflection

Some people might not understand what this blog entry's about, and if you don't, count yourself as one of the lucky ones. For those of you who know what's up, well, you know......   The last few days have been tough for me. I took a bold step and walked in to the unknown, a place where I felt unwelcome and unwanted, mainly because I gave myself a sentence of purgatory in a moment of rage and isolation. People who know me on this site know that I'm a stubborn asshole. I have my ideas and no on

Chronicles of My Life

I have somewhere to live!

So I suppose it seems like I hardly ever think about this blog anymore considering that I only update it once or twice a month . Actually, I always want to update it and have like 10 different entries I want to write, but I never seem to find the time :wacko:   Anyway, I thought about all the potential things I wanted to write about and decided that in terms of simple information this was the way to go (although you should probably skip it if you don't feel like reading a fairly shallow,

Busted chapter 52

Chris just watched Joe dumbly as he walked past him and into the living room. It was like he owned the place. That felt natural. It also annoyed him a little.   "What are you doing?" he asked.   "Sitting," Joe called back.   Chris moved to follow and found Joe in the recliner.   "What are you doing there?" Chris asked.   "If I sit on the couch, I'm going to be next to you," Joe answered. "If I'm next to you I'm going to touch you, which means I'm going to be kissing you, and from there

It's been awhile...

It's been an interesting seven days and far too long since I have made a blog entry. For any of you out there that actually read. I've gone and finished my spring anthology entry and sent it out to be polished. The beta feedback I have received has been nice and I can't wait to see what everyone else thinks of it. I'm also getting ready to start wrapping up Living in Surreality. There should only be about four more chapters left to go even though I have tried to push it to at least 25, but why d

I can feel the love

I got a really encouraging email from someone who must be reading Bodega Bay on Nifty. Here's an excerpt:     My guess is that the guy went to the No Sex section of Nifty by mistake, got mad because there was No Sex (go figure) and lost his temper. Anyway, if you're a reader of mine who's(not whose..see Razor, I do know the difference) easily frustrated by a lack of sex, don't read any of my short stories, and don't read Time In A Bottle.....the ironic part is, if he would have just been pat

Busted chapter 51

[The beginning of this harkens back to the missing chapter 45. Chris ran into his ex, and the guy she'd cuckolded him with, and caught enough of the last encounter between Joe and Alex to realize they'd split, just not the exact circumstances. Short section too -- seemed like a good place to stop, and I've not had a lot of time to write]   It was late, and Chris was lying on his couch wondering how things had managed to get where they were. He wasn't a bad guy. He was pretty sure of that. He w

Kevin Zegers is H-O-T!

So, I've decided that the hottest guy alive is Kevin Zegers (he was the kid in those cheesy "Air Bud" movies - but now he's all grown up, and boy has he grown up!) His most recent movie, "It's a Boy Girl Thing," was actually produced by Elton John and his partner, David Furnish. If anyone doesn't know who he is, go Google him ... trust me, he's F-I-N-E.   I was soooooooooooo disappointed last week when Sundance got booted from "American Idol." He was definitely my favorite of the guys, ever si

Monitoring the situation

First of all, I'd like to apologize to anyone I offended with my recent user name, MikeH*wk(*** it ****). I agree that it was in bad taste, and I hope it hasn't caused any troube for the Administrators of this site. That was the last thing I wanted to do....I admit that sometimes I can be a real jack ass, but I'm working on that   In the interest of striving to change my ways, I've made a few decisions....I think it's time for me to just sit back and monitor things around me for a while. So,

Busted chapter 50

[so much cliffhanger material, so few words to make it work. This is definitely going to need a good edit and rewrite. It's very rough, and didn't quite go where I had planned on it going (mostly, but not quite) but it's solid enough to work with. Later.]   The remainder of Monday had been miserable. Joe had tried drinking in his apartment, but that hadn't worked too well. He was feeling abandoned, and lonely, and drinking made that feel worse. It helped numb the pain some, but not enough.

The rose

It is strange how things trigger other things. I will admit to being somewhat gin soaked at the moment, so bear that in mind if you choose to read further. But someone mentioned to me earlier about my difficulty letting go. It was in relation to something I won't discuss here, but it must have stuck in my head--out of context. And then there was the chat room conversation. I have learned--or remembered, because I think I DID once know this--that a chat room is always more interesting when y

Oh... my... GOLLY!

So, I'm sorry if I haven't been around much this week... we had family visiting... read... driving me absolutely crazy! But have no fear, the countdown has begun... less than seven hours until they are on a train headed back home! I don't mean to sound... well, crappy... but OMFG! It's just unreal... I mean, if I took my kids to visit somewhere for a week, I would be all over them to pick up their stuff, and not leave a mess everywhere, and be quieter, etc... but I swear to you... I have picke

Grad school... a far off dream

... that may forever remain so.   Its not that I couldn't do the coursework, I could. Its not that I can't complete all the prerequisites... I can. Its not that I lack the ambition to try courses actually requiring thought, or that I lack the writing ability to do a master's thesis. I excel at analysis and have no problem writing.   Its that I don't have the funds to sign the check to the school, nor is my credit history sufficient enough to merit borrowing against my soul. I would have to b

Busted chapter 49

[beware the bear, man!]   Joe drove home by reflex, his brain numb. He'd had the presence of mind to call in sick for the rest of the week. That was about all he could manage. He hadn't said why to Joan, but she knew. He could tell.   He just sat in his car when he got to his apartment. He should go in, maybe go lie down. Maybe go drink. Drinking had a certain appeal. It was safe enough, in his apartment. The monsters never came out when he did. He'd made sure of that. There were enough char

Busted chapter 48

[Yes! I know how to menace Joe now! Not that it's in here, but that's fine. Dashing for the home stretch now, I think. Three or four big scenes and we're done. Woohoo!]   "They gave me the key because the apartment was vacant, and has been since February."   Joe was paying almost no attention.   It wasn't just that the apartment was empty. It was that it was huge. He was looking into a good-sized living room, at least the size of his own. There was a large kitchen off it, and there had to

Luc's Dementia

All I can say is...wow (yeah, right, you WISH that was all I could say) :P

Sometimes I am so slow it amazes me. I just now read the February Newsletter (at least it was the February 2007 Newsletter). Have to say that my mouth dropped oppen like a startled goldfish. Nickolas James reviewed my poetry! Wow. I suppose I will have to be careful now--or I might get the idea that I am a 'real' poet. *laughs* Though if that ever happens, I will just go back and read some of my older things that are posted on a secret site far, far away from the eyes of anyone who does no

[Y'know, I think I like this cliffhanger thing...]   "I'm surprised you came here willingly," Steve said as he slid into the booth across from Joe.   "Yeah, well," Joe said, "it seemed like the best place. I ordered already."   "Not a salad, I hope," Steve said.   "Learned my lesson," Joe said as the waitress came over.   "Hey, hon," she said. She put a pitcher of Coke and a pair of water-spotted glasses on the table. "Pizzas are up in a minute."   "Thanks," Joe said. He gave her a b

Busted chapter 46

[Right, you'll notice that chapter 45 is missing. I'm working on that, and it's turning out to be more involved than I thought. I'll post it when it's done, but in the mean time... 46!]   Monday morning Joe was a wreck. His conversation with Alex had not gone anywhere near where he thought it was going to, and now he was questioning his whole relationship. He thought things had been going fine. Sure, Alex was a little flighty, but he hadn't expected him to just

Busted chapter 44

[The first of a few short ones. Probably ought to be collapsed together into a single chapter when they're done. There's also going to be an out-of-order thing going in, since I realized this evening that I need something before this, but I don't have it written. Ah, well, discontinuity works]   Joe had begged off coming over to Steve's that weekend. More than anything else he wasn't ready to face Chris again. When he was alone he could keep things under control

Busted chapter 43

[Note I'm using the 2005 moon tables, but the dates are needing fixing. http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/MoonPhase.html. More notes at the end]   Steve sat watching Chris as he ate his lunch at his desk. He hadn't said anything when Joe had dropped Toby off, he hadn't said anything when Chris asked him for a lift to the gay bar he'd seem Joe and Alex at, and he hadn't said anything the whole morning as they both dug through a mountain of paperwork and research. He was finding it hard to keep
