What should I write about

Entries in this blog

I am falling in love with a book series, but why?

I was bored and out of the random impulse of my mind, I surfed wikipedia. Yes, It's full of inaccuracies and stuff like that, but whenever I get bored, I go on there to look for something interesting.   I was reading up on Greek mythology, which is interesting as it is the origin of many story elements that we hold today.   Well one thing led to another as you know how wikipedia and my asymmetric mind works (strangely enough I've tested for ADHD and my teachers once said that I had a strange

Living witness: History in front of your eyes

I just realized something today, The au bon pain had completely closed down at Harvard square.   I haven't gone to the harvard bookstore in ages, lot's of things getting mixed up in my life and probably a little too much GA soapbox stuff as well. If I had gone down there like I had in the past, I'd noticed the place had changed as I wanted to grab a sandwich after work.   I also didn't realize that a starbucks had opened right near the train station (seriously, there's a starbucks right at t

My weird taste in movies strike again

If I ever find a good boyfriend, who can live with my eccentricity and political views, he definitely needs to love movies.   This particular movie was interesting, but very out of character for me:   God Bless America   The premise was what drew me towards it: I mean who doesn't have urges sometime after watching MTV to strangle all those reality TV stars for their stupidity?   Or when you hear about Reverend Fred Phelps and his Westboro Baptists anti-gay demonstrators, who hasn't ever

For the Titanic

I am post dating and timing the release of this blog entry to the exact time the ship struck the iceberg.   If there was one touchstone of my childhood and possibly the last century to the Titanic, it was this movie and song. Simply beautiful and tragic, makes everyone that saw the movie and heard the song in context feel just a little bit emo (heck, I think the movie probably created the emo generation ) :

Sharing an old mother goose Rhyme

Just found my old childhood storybook of mother goose rhymes, I didn't know they had so many innuendos and adult meanings until now.   Here's one for folks about a horse shoe nail:   For want of a nail   For want of a nail the shoe was lost For want of a shoe the horse was lost For want of a horse the rider was lost For want of a rider the battle was lost For want of a battle the kingdom was lost And all for the want of a horseshoe n

What is darkness to a reader?

I've wrote a very cold blooded and chilling scene and realize that I can be extremely dark if I choose to be. I've gotten a lot of comments in the past from readers that felt I tend towards darkness a lot in my story, but I never ask you guys, what type of darkness is it? Is it something that you guys like or something you guys fear? or a little bit of both?   Then, I start reading and writing review of stories and find other authors with the same word in their reviews, "it's dark" or somethin

Just saw a movie, I put off for a bit

It is truly amazing and spell binding. It also has some really interesting questions about ethics, human nature, and greed on an international and human scale.   Margin Call (2011) was fun, aggressive, and highly entertaining:     Jeremy Irons is such a great actor, plus you got Kevin Spacey and Demi Moore. I think Michael Douglas has good competition for Wall Street versus Jeremy Irons in Margin Call.   I've put off watching this movie for a while, but another benefit of freeing up m

On hiatus from the Soapbox for 3 months

I'm serious about it this time and it has been building up for a while. I mean I love debating, but I love writing stories too. Every moment I spend researching and debating points is a moment I can't write.   I said almost two weeks ago, I'd release my Act 2 and Act 3 this week for my play. Look at my GA stories profile, it's still not up. I've had this happen to me more than once, I start a story with ideas, themes, and concepts, then I get into a heated debate in the Soapbox and I neglect i

I'll start reading all the anthology stories this weekend

Too much hectic stuff happened this week and last weekend to allow me to read the stories. Sorry guys, but thanks to the few who took a chance and read my play.   You know real life stinks and my life in particular is hectic enough with drama and issues from everywhere. I know the job is disheartening, but I can't abandon everything and just leave, I've got obligations to everyone around me: Patients, Doctors, general staff, secretaries...I'm trying not to start a rant, just an update on my li

should i post or not post?

I have written the first act of a play with a lot of issues, technical and structural, and i am not sure if i should post it or not for the spring anthology. It isn't controversial or experimental like my usual short or long stories. However to me, it is definitely different, I've never done a play or written lines like these. I am picking up the idea and central issues of this play around a handful of news stories that got me thinking.   It's a decent idea for a play, but i know at my curre

Am I the only one stoked about the new Sins? And no it's not religious :P

Yes, it's not politics or some hot guy, but it is just really fun. I hope I am not the only one into it.   I've been playing the Beta for Sins of the Solar Empire: Rebellion and it is just so addictive.I can't enough of the huge space battles or the new ship classes that they came up with. It's an awesome game on its own, but this new addition makes it even more. I don't know how to describe it.   For those, who don't follow the game, Sins of a Solar Empire is a massive space based strategy

Why do I have Michael Cera in my head?

Seriously, he's in my head right now:     I knew I should not have watched Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, which actually was a good movie that was badly marketed. He's haunting my thoughts now.   It also helps that he's the hottest Canadian alive close to my age, only 1 year younger (I'm not a teenage girl, so Justin Bieber doesn't count )   Yes, I have soft spot for dorky guys.

Back from Europe

I just came back from across the Atlantic and I have a lot of new takes on ideas and thoughts.   European culture is something American too often ignore, sadly, but it is very integrated to everything that the US in terms of our customs and ideas are about. American so often neglect or reject anything to do with Europeans, but in reality, the US holds a lot of the traditions with Europeans in different areas. There's also a European issue about their own infrastructure problems that I have wit

Why is life so distracting?

I know I can't finish this story before I will have to leave on vacation.   Maybe, I should not have started playing with my tablet, but I just can't resist a new piece of tech, especially one with such sleek and elegant form.   I will write again after I come back, who knows, maybe I will write a travel blog.   See you all next year

I am writing, wohoo!

My creative juices are flowing along with coffee and urine, but it feels good.   I will attempt to write a story before I head off on vacation for fun. It will not be edited perfectly as I am not sure whether my favorite editor is around (Yes, Dannsar it's you, I did really like the way you edited my anthology story).   It will be a retro-fan fiction story that I got in my head recently after watching an old show.

Strange thing I noticed reading anthology

Did anyone take a notice at what stories seem to have the most length?   I know, I know, it doesn't matter how big the word count is, but how you write your story   I just noticed this by accident, but Bill W., Altimex, and W.L (me), were the three longest in word count.   Also, all three of us wrote science fiction stories, using different ideas and different points of view.   Just an observation

Anatomy of: A dreamer without a dream

https://www.gayauthors.org/story/w-l/adreamerwithoutadream/1   Well, it is now up for your reading pleasure.   Consider this my return to active writing again and science fiction. I have been holding back my ideas for a very long time and now I think I can explore them.   It is a social commentary brand of science fiction, so I hope it does not detract from readers. For all those who have waited, almost 2 years, for a new chapter in W.L's science fiction universe or meta-verse, this will b

A step back

I probably am one of the strongest adherent to conservatism and have fought many on principle. Yet, I feel like maybe we should take a breath to relax. I know how hard our lives can be, how difficult circumstances have made us colder and more alien, but in the end, we're not here to write and focus our ideals into something greater than ourselves. We are here to write out our creations, whether they are based on our thoughts, motives, political ideologies, symbolic histories, or whatever your he

A poem for your thoughts

Just wanted to share a classic poem for my thoughts on the day, it might sound religious, but at its heart there is a deep humanism:   THE SECOND COMING By William Butler Yeats Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of pas

Writing a strange idea

I just had a very odd story in my head, but it seems to work.   I don't know what prompted the story, maybe, it's me trying to recapture my youth, my love of old Nick shows, or maybe my desire to give stories a finality.   I won't say what my story is until I actually write it and edit it, but by just my simple description, you guys can guess at the possibilities. I don't know if my story will be interesting or maybe it will be widely chided as too retro to be readable by most audiences. As

Trying to find myself

I vented a bit in my poetry today, I haven't done something like this since I was a kid.   http://www.gayauthor...amitryingtobe/1   I had a very long day at work with really great ups and really bad downs. I just don't know anymore what I am and what I want to be anymore. I am feeling confused over my life; I don't know where I fit anymore.   Being gay isn't the only question people get about their lives, I also have a lot doubts about what I am doing and my work. I try to be a decent huma

New Profile image

Well, I just updated my profile image to give readers a few puppy dog eyes   I thought the image was cute and since I have been using Garfield for so long, I might as well move up on the old animal chain before I actually reach man.

Finally up and open for readers

Glad to see it now up and open for everyone:   https://www.gayauthors.org/story/w-l/reflection/1   Enjoy the reading, I also added a writer's commentary in my blog for the story, so you guys know why and what thoughts came up during my writing.   For horror readers, I hope that I at least gave you a taste of my kind of horror; psychological and knowledge based story.   For people looking for a tantalizingly sexual tale, it's my first foray into blending psych-horror, tell me what you guy

Why am I the only one?

I mean I look at something and I remember a connection between point A to point B, but people seem to not notice it until you start pointing it out to them.   One thing I noticed about people who have a really bad cognitive reasoning, they also have a very deep dislike of history. History to them is just words and stuff that happens without reference or meaning. I wonder if there's a link?   On some other notes, I am branching out with my own private tax and business consulting business in a
