    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

Busted chapter 30

[There's a reason Joe left home at 18, changed his name, and never looked back. A reason he doesn't drink, too, they're just different reasons. This one's the reason he's so mad at Chris...]   Joe was fuming as he carried Toby upstairs. He'd actually worried about Chris earlier. He snorted. Sick. He knew exactly what sort of sick Chris was.   Toby moved in his sleep and held on a little tighter to Joe. Joe's fury vanished for a moment as he gave Toby a little squeeze and a kiss on the top of

Busted chapter 29

[it's weird, stopping at what's really just a scene breakpoint, but only occasionally. Still, it keeps me moving, which is good]   Joe was snoring softly when Steve nudged him awake. At some point, after a half dozen games of Candyland, he and Toby had managed to fall asleep. Joe was still sitting on the floor. Toby was curled up in his lap with Joe's arms wrapped around him.   "Hey, wake up," Steve said softy. "It's time to go to bed."   Joe looked up, entirely confused.   "Uh

Chronicles of My Life

The lights are on...

But there's really no one home.     My attention span and short-term memory seem to be getting progressively worse with each passing day. I'm lucky to finish sentences nevermind multi-step tasks. It was always something I just sorta blew off before. "Oh I'm just absent-minded", "it's just another quirky aspect of my personality"...but it's getting worse, and it's starting to actually bother me.   I lost money again at work today...it's about the 5th time (that I know of) that it's happ

Melancholy ... the broken staff of life

Muddled

I know I've said it before, but I hate being depressed. I'd give anything to be better, truly better, not this muddled, lethargic feeling I have now.   Okay, I'm not suicidal. That's a plus, I guess. Three doses of Wellbutrin a day and I'm not suicidal. I'm not too creative, either, but with all antidepressants, you have to take negatives with the plusses. Prozac erased my libido. Celexa eliminated erections. Everything works with Wellbutrin, except creativity.   Two doses a day and I'm more

Little Buddha's Stone Grotto

Cold Sunday Afternoon

It's been about a month since my last blog entry, so I thought I should write something.   Not a whole heck of a lot has been going on in my life. I haven't really made much of an effort to meet people since I got back from Taiwan, so my social life is basically non-existant. I either don't have the motivation to get out there and do something with my life, or I'm too lazy. I've been beginning to wonder if I made the right choice to come back to the States. Things just haven't been working out

Busted chapter 28

[Apparently Toby really likes Joe. Didn't expect this particular twist. Gotta love characters that surprise. Poor Alex though, he's getting the short end of things with Joe]   Joe and Toby kicked the soccer ball around for an hour before they were interrupted by a clap of thunder from off in the distance. The promised storms were coming, and they were bringing lightning in their wake.   "Guess it's time to head inside, Toby," Joe said.   "'Kay, Uncle Joe."   Joe was glad for the excuse.

The Talon's Claw

A Sad Note

This has been a weird week and I'm glad it's over.   We got hit this week, Wednesday, with the first major storm of the winter season. Though it was nearly as bad as New York state, it was still bad. We got hit with a wintry mix of snow, sleet and rain. To make things worse, add in the bitter cold and wind that followed it. The worst part of it was the people that were stranded in their cars on I78 for over 24 hours.   The worst part of the week came in the form of a phone call from Security

Melancholy ... the broken staff of life

No words

Okay, I haven't written much more than nothing. I'm beat and I haven't done anything, not that I can do anything. I'm sleeping too much, then taking a nap because I'm too tired to do anything else.   Strange thing is, I don't feel particularly depressed, although being super lethargic and not giving a flip about anything is a classic symptom. Maybe it's just that I'm getting settled here, after all it has been nearly two months since I've been grounded. Or, maybe, just maybe, it's the three do

Sam's book report

Sam has struggled with writing for years. At first it was the physical aspect of writing. He had fine motor delays--mostly because he is ambidextrous, which means he didn't develop a strong right or left preference, which didn't give him the normal strength and control he would have had if he had been definitely right or left handed.   Sam also has ADHD. I know, EVERYONE seems to have that these days, but in his case it is legitimate. I know this because the medication he is on has made a

Busted chapter 26

[i'm not sure if this bit's too revealing. I'm tempted to cut it, actually]   Saturday morning Chris woke up to the sounds of his third alarm. He'd had to dig his spare alarm clock out of the closet the past week. Chris had been having a hell of a time waking up ever since the divorce was final. Two or three days a week for the past month, he'd wake up feeling like he hadn't slept.   When his dreams had just been dreams it was bad enough, but now they were full-blown hallucinations. Or fanta

sorry about the heart attack...

So, Happy Valentine's Day everyone!   I should apologize for the coronary upset I caused a few of you yesterday, especially Davey... See a while back we had this... incident... where he thought if he didn't tell me something then I wouldn't have to worry unnecesarilly and I yelled at him So as you can imagine, when something rather scary and possibly dangerous occurs, you want to tell the people you love and let them know you are okay and even maybe... ask for a hug or two million...   An

For my readers

I wanted to do something different this time. I know it's been a good minute since I've updated, so I decided to do this here.....   I want to thank all of my readers, especially the ones who've followed Bodega Bay from the beginning to these last chapters. I just posted chapter twenty nine, and there's only one chapter left to go. I'm about half way through it, so it shouldn't be too long until it's done.   Bodega Bay was sorta like My Jump Off, in the respect that it was supposed to be an

A roommate?

So this isn't what I wanted to write about. I've been wanting to write a blog entry about an article I read recently in Entertainment Weekly, but this is something I have to decide sooner (well the other one isn't a decision at all ) so I'm doing this one instead.   Anyway, here's the situation. I have to move out of my apartment in May because they're tearing it down to rebuild luxury high-rise condominiums. They've pretty much already done that with all the other houses and buildings in

Joe's Blog

It's been a while

I haven't written a blog entry in I don't know how long so I think it's time. My life has been rather boring lately. I wake up at 5:30am, at work at 6, come home, eat, and repeat the process the next day. I do have some fun things planned though.   Feb. 24th - Party with some friends. We'll probably have a movie night because I have my projector in the living room giving us a huge screen, but we may just have some fun (all legal, I swear!).   March 12th - I think school starts either March 1
