Whose Line is it Anyway?

I just hit a 1000 day learning streak on the language app I'm using to learn German (it will be 1006 today), and came across a couple of sentences I thought were perfect for first line prompts.     PT Prompt #133 - First line "What are you cooking, and why does it stink?"   PT Prompt #134 - First line "Why is your underwear in the swimming pool?"   Please include the prompt number either in your story/chapter description or title to help readers who would

Secret Author Contest Rewind - Secret Santa

In 2015, GA offered the first of a series of secret author contests, Secret Santa.  I thought revisiting this contest would be great for inspiration for our latest secret author contest.  There were 21 stories submitted for the Secret Santa contest... can we beat that number for our "secret" secret author contest?   Link to all Secret Santa stories: https://gayauthors.org/stories/browse/?filter_categories=80&   Information about the current contest:

Writing and Life. In that order.

Writing: Get in and get out. I write novels because they’re in demand. But my favorite writing project is a short story. It’s not often I get asked for them. Certainly not as often as I’d like, and I understand that. People want novels.   But a good short story… chef’s kiss. To read is fun, but to create is divine. I encourage the site’s authors to give the short story form a try, if they haven’t. “Experts” say many of the same writing rules apply, whether penning novels or short form

Present The Problem

Present The Problem I’ve often felt that the key to drama and anxiety for a lot of people who may be reading your stories, or just from life in general came from something very simple. And that’s the constant idea of ‘choice’. Better yet, a dilemma. The more that I played around with the idea of it all in my own fiction, the more enamored I became by the power of it all. You can use it to put pressure on your audience, and create a much more stressful situation out of a fictional that may se

Curses and Bears

I’d like to thank Libby Drew; she inspired me to create PT#131 when she cursed my fellow prompter Cole Matthews. PT #131 Invent a colorful curse or charm, depending on your current mood, and maybe tell us something about it, such as why or who. PT #132 Your MC goes camping with someone who never did this before. Write a story or vignette and use the word bear five times without talking about the actual animal.   Please include the prompt number either in your story/
