Well, 9/11 came and went and there were all kinds of shows on TV about that day, and even one about the events leading up to it. I guess to me 9/11 represents something to be proud of. On that day when almost 3000 people lost their lives in the worst attack on our soil, we came together as a nation and for a little while, we weren't democrats and republicans. We were Americans.
All of that seems to be gone now. In it's place, we have a country so divided that you can't talk about what happened
Ok, so the first week of school is over and shockingly enough, I haven't got any major catastophic events to write about. The work seems pretty simple (so far) and it's kinda nice not to be at the bottom of the food chain anymore. Last year wasn't so bad, as far as being a freshman went, but it's nice to be able to say I'm a sophomore.
I had a good talk with my dad yesterday on the way home from the doctors office. I had an appointment at 11 and had to leave school at 9:30, and on the way back
The following is a list of people who, one way or another, helped me get to a thousand posts here at Gay Authors. If I wasn't fighting with you in the soapbox about Hurricane Katrina, I was saying something irritating on an author forum somewhere to make your blood boil or make you say, "I agree" Or maybe you said, WTF???
A lot of the people listed here are dont post here anymore, but maybe they still come by to read the forums and the blogs, and if they do, thanks. I couldn't have done it wit
:Authors Note::::::: I realize that this isn't the original post....however, I decided that the point I was trying to make was taken by everyone loud and clear, and there's no sense in leaving my past rant in place. I'm not sorry that I posted it here, but I don't see the need to keep it up. I made my opinions known, and everyone's had the chance to read what I said and to form their own opinion.
I love this site and I always will. I would never do anything to take away from the purpose of it,
I've experienced a moment of pure and total bliss......I won't get into the details, but I can finally say that I decided to take the opportunity to do something for myself and stop the cycle of stress that came with a really bad decision. (sigh of relief) I would just like to say right now that if there's any author out there who needs some help whether it's with editing or just someone to look at their work and get an honest review or some advice, I'm always willing to help. It's true that I'm
My thought of the day.............
At least I can be who I am here on my blog.
I've had a really rough last few days. I'm not going to lie about it. I found out that a problem that I thought was over and done with is still around, and it's been bugging me. So I took today and just spent it thinking about things. Schools about to start and I really don't want to have the same hard time I had last year when I was up until 2 in the morning doing my homework, so I decided to finally give in
I've decided to do something. I talked about it with quite a few people on this site and on other sites, and everyone agreed that it was a good idea, so here it is........
Im going to change Nick's Story Page. It's been a good site for me, and I've had a lot of exposure because of it. It get's hundreds of hits a day, and I think it can serve a greater good now......
From now on, Nick's Story Page belongs to new writers who are making an effort to improve and get noticed. I'm going
One year ago today I registered at Gay Authors after I finished reading The Log Way by Dom Luka, and the rest is history I found the Soap Box, then I found the rest of the forums, including The Library. The Soap Box is gone, The Library has been replaced by e-fiction, and it seems like there's all new people at the forums. I mean, there's a lot of people from last year, but it seems like a lot of the people who were here before have stopped posting, but in their place, some awesome new people c
OK, so if you haven't heard the news yet, I just made it to the shared hosted page on GA. I'm very excited and very nervous, but I'm more excited than anything. I've got a lot of writing to do, and I'm proud that I get to do it here.....I promised myself that I wasn't going to stop working until I made it to my own Hosted site at GA, and now that I'm almost there, I feel like it's time to turn things all the way up. there's only one problem I seem to be having.....
I need to design a page an
Well, I made the mistake this morning of sending chapter one to Nifty and I got a reply from them saying that they added it to the No Sex section of the site.....I guess that's kinda where it belongs, but it kinda ticks me off because no one goes to that part...it's the same place they buried Obligation To Myself, and I was a little pissed about that too.....
I wrote a new poem today where I think I was finally able to come to terms with something thats had me depressed since I was a little
Aloha!...lol......tomorrow Im going to a Luau at Fort Story and I get the feeling it's gonna be awesome. Im a really hyped mood about it. Also, I finished My Jump Off for anyone who didn't know.....I posted the last chapter yesterday, then I posted chapter two of Bodega Bay this afternoon. I'm still working on chapter 31 of What's The Difference because I got a little sidetracked by My Jump Off and Bodega Bay. I was so excited about finally finishing a story that I my mind started to work a mill
Ok, so I'm in an extra good mood right now.....after a long hard struggle, I finally got myself hosted at another site...... RCWP. The webmistress, Mary, is a total sweetheart, and she's been doing so much to make sure I have a good page at her site. There are so many great authors there, and trust me, I can tell you from personal experience that it's a hard site to get hosted at. She does a great job there, and I'm proud that my stories are going to be read at that site.
She hooked me up with
Ok, I have a little confession to make..........
I've been depressed ever since we got home from California. I know what it has to do with, and it's really silly, but it still has me feeling bad.
For as long as I can remember, we've always gone to the cross at the spot where my mom died and took flowers. When we lived in Cali we did it a lot, and every time we've gone back we've done it too. Well, the last time we went back was for my big papu's memorial, and we didn't go because we
Well, we made it back yesterday California was nice to visit, but by the end of our trip, I was glad to be coming home. We had a really good time, though. I dont even know where to begin.....
The flight there totally sucked. I started to panic a little when we were about to take off because I thought I could smell something burning, then the lady in the seat behind me asked the lady who she was sitting next to if she could smell smoke So anyway, by that point, we were going really fast d
Well, it's official...my dad's trying to ruin my vacation
I knew this would happen. Here's what he's doing.........
I have my own job, and I make my own money....also, I have a lot of report card money, too. I wanted to take a thousand dollars with me to California for our vacation, but my dad wouldn't let me. Instead, he only let me have three hundred dollars out of my savings account, then he gave me 500 dollars to spend why we're there.....I told him that he wouldn't have t
Ok, so this has been a pretty good day. You know what I did today???
Not a damn thing
I sat around, edited and posted chapter nine of My Jump Off and basically relaxed. I don't know why, either, because it's not like I did a lot this week. I worked a few days, and we went to Water Country USA on Friday, but other than that, I just messed around and did what I wanted to do.
I guess not having to go to school everyday has me really care free, and even a little bored. I sa
Today was a pretty good day except for the crappy weather, which always sucks..lol. Anyway, I was riding home from work with my dad tonight and he was listening to a CD by Memphis Bleek, and there was this one song that was playing that was so deep. It made me thinnk about my dad and everything he does and how hard he works to give me and my stepmom and my cousin everything. The lyrics go like this....
"Y'all don't understand me still
I never enjoyed success but my family will
And I'm alri
Well, I did it. I went out on a limb and I did something that I might or might not regret. I guess I'll find out for myself soon enough because I already sent the email off and there's no way to get it back I won't say what I did, because if it doesn't go how I hope it does, I think I'll be crushed, and I don't want people to see that side of me. Sometimes I don't know why I'm scared to take chances, even though in the end I know I'm going to do it whether I'm scared or not. That's just how I
Well, I admit it....I've been slipping. My writing has been sucking lately. I feel really dissapointed in the last chapter of My Jump Off that I posted. Here's what I think happened....
I started off just writing for my boyfriend, but i felt like I wanted everyone to read what I was writing, mainly because I think I wanted to know if it was any good or not. I mean, getting an honest opinion from Taylor about a story I was writing just for him was going to be impossible. So I started posti
warning......serious self exploration ahead
Ok, so I got this email from one of my Nifty readers, and they asked me a simple question....why do my two longest stories and all of my almost all of my poems involve plot lines or themes where the main character has a good family????
I had to stop and think about it for a minute, and then it came to me in a flash.....because I think families are important. Not just because I come from what I think is a good family, but because, as a Christi
Ok, so I've been totally bored today. We got home today from Carolina and I slept all the way home, but I was sharing the back seat with my cousin James and I had to sleep sitting up, so I had a sore neck and a headache when we got home. Then I got online and chatted for a while but my PC crashed and I had to restore it back to it's last recovery point.
In the meanwhile, Taylor hasn't called and I'm getting depressed, so I started reading. I found a story by Matt, Unrequited, and it was good.
OK, so lately I've been kind of a you tube junky..lol. I love going there and watching cifferent vids...so, here's one I found that cracked me up. Man I was thirsty....I thought you were gay . Check it out. Not much to talk about right now. Im just enjoying not having to be up at 5 in the morning for anything
Ok, so I finally resigned myself to the fact that I was going to have to submit the story, My Jump Off, to Nifty. Well, I felt really bad about it the first day and into the the next day. But then, something funny happened........the first thing I noticed was that I had 200 hits on my page that werent there before. The second thing that happened was that I noticed I had moved back into spot 26 on the Top Site List here at GA. The third thing that happened was that I noticed my inbox was full. Th
