    2025 Anthology - Big Announcement!

    By Valkyrie

    Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Joyous Kwanzaa to all who celebrate! I'm still in a bit of a food coma from Christmas dinner, but I wanted to bring a reminder and also some important news for next year's anthology.  First, submissions for Carlos' tribute event are due tomorrow, so be sure to put the finishing touches on your stories and post the link in the thread in the Writer's Circle.  Second, I decided to do things a little differently this year, and instead of having a committee decide

I hate people

The idiot kids who live across the hall from me are having some loud, drunken party. I was okay with this, for now, cause I stay up pretty late anyway. Then I heard sort of a scratching sound coming from my door, and went and looked out the peephole. There were like 8 people standing right outside my door and one of them was stealing one of the numbers off the door! (they're stickers) Then he yells really loudly (for me? just cause he was drunk and being loud?) "I've got the 0 in my wallet!" and

Art, science, and craft

Or "On the nature of writing". Or something like that.   I figured it was time to stop just bitching about the things in my writing I'm not happy about and actually start doing something about it. It's too late in the semester to sign up for a writing class at the local community college, but it's never too late to read about writing, so I've started.   A while back I picked up a copy of "Characters and Viewpoint" by Orson Scott Card (on the recommendation of The Pecman, who wrote the storie

They don't know..... They don't understand.......

Ok, so I'm kinda gonna go on another rant, but on a different subject, so here goes...warning, rant ahead   I was sitting alone in the breakroom at work (because i cant stand to be in there when my supervisors in there since she stinks the place up with her ciggerrettes) and I was thinking about my life and what it's about right now. I mean, I'm definitely doing different things with it, and I'm happy about what I'm doing...I'm even managing to keep up with my homework even though I dont seem

sneezing bunnies-the most pathetic thing ever

I'm sort of freaking out because I think my bunny is sick. Earlier today he was making these really pathetic and scary whimpering noises, and he's been sneezing a lot. I thought maybe he was just whining because we got him a new brand of hay that he's been more or less refusing to eat, and he stopped when I gave him a carrot, but now there's the sneezes, which sound kind of wet. Every time he starts I have to force myself not to call the boyfriend at work in a panic. We don't have a functional c

WASABI SAUCE and WATER!

We're having a great time here at the beach. It's still cold as hell but at least we are having fun. Selene finally found us we wouldn't have let her in but it was cruel to leave her out in the cold with her daughter so we let her in. Green and I love her daughter, she's so cute. Selene yelled at us because of the Dragon breath remarks we have made. I pointed out that neither of us lied. She thought it was rude of us to mention it. I wouldn't have if it wasn't for the fact that it kept me up all

Points to ponder.

I need an editor. I thought I probably might need an Editor at some point but after reading some of the excellent prose on this site, and having read a lot of utter twaddle elsewhere it finally struck me that one of the main differences was Editor. With Editor good, without bad.   So now I want one, how to go about it? I know there is a thread about the subject, and having read it I'm no further forward. It seems to me that the relationship between Author and Editor is a bit like a marriage...

After A comes C, right?

So I finished the draft for the story that I've been currently blocking on (if you were in chat the other night you got to see me ambush Dio and Myr -- sorry guys. And no, the Jell-o pictures will never see the light of day ever! ) and sent it away to be poked at by folks who're good at poking things. I've already gone and fiddled with my index page to give it a spot, along with teasing about a few other stories in the same series that are in a sufficient state to figure they will be done, even

My Internet History

It was early 2000, and I was a sophmore in high school. One of our cats suddenly got very sick and since the vet in our town was closed, my mom and I drove to the city of my aunt and cousin to take her to the all night emergency clinic. After dropping her off we go and visit my aunt and cousin and the four of us play the card game rook, which I hadn't done in about 4 or 5 years. Playing it makes me remember just how much fun it is, and what ashame we never play anymore. "But wait" I think, "

ALLO LUV!

We're here we're here at the cold beach. Oh it's freezing so we arent going to venture outside anytime soon. I am working on some artwork for my site and Chaz is writing a couple of papers he has due. So everything is calm here. No drama and I am very happy with that.   My ankle is good enough that I can walk on it and I don't get dizzy every time I stand up anymore. As predicted Selene called me this morning asking where the beach house is. I didn't tell her but Chaz saw her drive by the hou

TENSION OBSESSION

This is not what we really look like but Jonathan made it and I thought it was cool.   Here is the real reason for this though.       For those that follow my Story Mr. Black Sings A Sad Song 2. The next couple of chapters are going to be the turning point to the series. Things are happening that cannot be undone and when it's all over things will not be the same.   GREEN

I have this picture in my head, see...

And I just can't get the !@#$ thing expressed right on paper. Or screen. Whatever. You know, actually written in writing. I hate that.   This may be the biggest problem I have as a writer, actually getting into words the things I see in my head. I can't draw them, so all I can do is describe them, and, well, words just fail me. Or I fail them. Something like that.   Feelings I can do, I can manage mildly poetic cadence that'll carry you along, and I'm pretty sure I can amuse, but damn me if

An exciting day ... NOT!

Today was probably the most eventful day I've had in a while ... I went to see my doctor this morning to get a refill on my sleeping pills (I have really bad insomnia sometimes). It's 2:23 AM now and I'm still not ready to sleep, but I have to wake up at 6:30 to get ready for work ... so apparently the medication isn't helping very much.   I also managed to trek over to the supermarket, Carrefour (a French supermarket chain, although it's unfortunately been "Taiwan-ified"). I had to go because

My thought process and the deleted Blog Entry

Warning.....Rant Ahead   Ok, the first thing i want to say is that I had a completely different entry written and even posted but not published. I deleted it because I didn't want to cause any trouble and hurt anyones feelings. I guess that's how I am. I have a lot to be angry about (in my mind) but I don't want to express all of it because I don't want to cause problems for everyone else.....if I can't handle whatever it was I made my deleted entry about, I can always stop coming here and ask

STUPID BOYS WITH COLORS AS NAMES!

My boyfriend in a drunken act of Genius has hurt himself. Green fell down the stairs and broke his leg. My boyfriend thought that he could jump the last five steps. He hit himself with the ceiling and fell, spraining his ankle when he fell on it. He also has a concussion. Our trip is no more, but at least we get the house to ourselves. I get to cater to my wonderful but slightly stupid boyfriend.   I really don't know what compelled him to jump. I saw it in slow motion his head hit the ceil

I'd Rather Sleep with Myself

"Sleep With Myself" by Prozzak   Ya I'll dance with you for a while But I'm not going to take you home   I don't even know you last name Let me explain   Been around the world a thousand times Been swept away on distant shores Bedded down with angels Drank their wine And always the conclusion is the same Making love is always grand But eventually Love ends a losing game So let's leave it alone I'm going home   People think celibacy's a crime Not saying I won't love again

Welcome To Green's Party Where You Will Find?

I had a great time last night. We all did. We had so many people here. Selene made an a&$ of herself when she got drunk and sang a really bad rendition of I will survive. David and Steve couldn't keep their hands off each other all night. My brother the Liar seems to have found himself a boyfriend. They were dancing in a corner. Some girl tried to kiss me then offered me something I really had to say no to. She called me a prude.   Chaz's older brother brought enough alcohol to drunkefy

Blogging Schizophrenia

I'm rather like that parrot in the Monty Python sketch. I'm pining, but not for the fjords. I want... I want some defining person to enter my life and tell me that it's really all going to be OK.   I blog here (well duh) and elsewhere too. Here I am probably as whole as I can be, in that I'm reasonably happy to discuss my sexuality; or as happy as I'm going to be anywhere I guess. However, and here's the rub: I can't be completely 'me' without talking about what else I do, and that scares the

Okay...can you be happy and sad at the same time?

I'll start out with the sad so we got something to look forward to...   Like Thursday at lunch, I come back to our table from dumping my tray to see Lorena reading a little pamplet about a recorder or something, like one of those things spies wear. I didnt ask and then after we got rid of Lorena and started walking to our class at the building across the street, he shows me that he's wearing this recording thing, or heart monitor . I ask him what for and he said that his mom took him to the d

Albert's Day - Chapter 4

Albert's Day Chapter 4 This chapter contains my first real attempt at writing a sex scene. It was hard (pun definitely not intended) really hard, and I am amazed at how long it took.   I have a few notes I thought I'd share... Though please don't let them put you off reading the story.   1 - Never ever EVER write in the third person. It makes everything so much harder than it has to be. 2 - Here's an idea. Work out a plot before beginning 3 - Frequent shorter chapters are better than lo

I got a call a few minutes ago.

My brother called me a few minutes ago. I asked why he was calling so early? He said he just wanted to talk to me. I said alright and walked away from the bedroom. Green is still sleeping so I didn't want to wake him. When I walked into the living room I found David and Selene sitting at the table as Steve made them breakfast. He asked me if I wanted some I nodded but I walked into the living room instead.   So we talked. He said that he wanted to speak to me about all of this. He told me that

Little trouble never hurt anyone... except Green!

We are throwing a party tomorrow. it's Green and David's annual Spring break party. I invited a couple of friends from back home and my brother and sister as well as some friends from school. Green is a little sad about this because Selene will not be there. More on this later. Well back to this party. We went shopping for supplies. Steve came with us as he and Green Decided that they were going to cook for everyone.   We ran into Rob and that creepy guy he's dating. Green darted out of the ai
