    Weekly Wrap Up (Nov. 17 - Nov. 23)

    By wildone

    Steve has climbed into his cave and don't wake him up until the end of April.  I think it it is @Slytherin's turn to stay awake this winter   That bear just happens to be the colour of outdoors.  We got dumped on the past week. No road lanes, no sidewalks, no nothing. All buried in snow. It is beautiful if you don't need to go out into it  Also, the temperature dropped into the minus celsius without windchill  Winter is here, I hereby declare. May you all share the wonder of it

The New Book, Part 16

Once again things didn’t turn out as planned. I wanted Chapter 16 to deal with the marriage of two characters but that was thwarted by bureaucratic rigamarole. Then, where to go from there?   So, my original plan was to add a new character to the current core group in Chapter 17. Well, the way it worked out was that the protagonist from Chapter 1 is the addition. This character brings a whole new set of problems—what would a story be without problems—and as it worked out, he fit perfectly into

Cbdt Chapter 9

https://www.gayauthors.org/story/w-l/0sand1scbdt/10   Did you think I forgot about Kevin or his crush on Hunter? If I mentioned it in Chapter 3, I will not forget it even in Chapter 9 (Hmm...3x3 = 9, is that a math reference, a religious reference to "3" by WL, or just a coincidence )   It's been one sided love of course, but what great love isn't one sided to begin with.   Before we get to love, let's talk about loss; Hunter has lost a major battle against his foes and the walls are sta

My 20's Megamix Playlist

So, as I say goodbye to this decade and say hello to a new one, I thought it'd be cool to take some time and reflect on the tunes that I loved in my 20's. Here we go:   My 20's in Music   1.) (2006, Age 20)  2.) (2006, Age 20)  3.) (2006, Age 20)  4.) (2006, Age 20)  5.) (2007, Age 21)  6.) " (2007, Age 21)  7) (2007, Age 21)  8.) (2007, Age 21)  9.) (2007, Age 21)  10.)

The New Book, Part 15

Finished Chapter 15 last night. Good thing I have a great selection of music to listen to because on Tuesday and Wednesday this chapter was difficult to write. Two suicide episodes were just a bit tragic and tough to put down. Then, there was the end to write, which ultimately turned into a surprise, happy event. Nothing like death and sex to get things bubbly.   Did a bit of Excel boo-boos on reporting the results of the last chapter. The total word count now equals 97,354 and the projected 2

Brandon Bitner

For me, story research on the Internet often invokes whisperings and promptings from those in spirit. This sweet soul led me to his story. His final wish was that his story be told so that others could avoid his fate by stopping the cruel torment of bullies.   I encourage you to explore the world of Brandon Bitner, a beautiful child who fled from this world to escape his tormentors. Share his story if you are so inclined. He will love that you would do this for him and his memory.   http://w

The New Book, Part 14

Okay!   Need a new character?   Well, create one. Give him a trade, a living situation, a tragic event, rejection, and finally, the chance for love.   Chapter 14 came in at almost 7,000 words, on track to exceed 100,000 words in 20 chapters. But, maybe, I’ll just stop when I hit 100,000.   At this point, there is only one, maybe, two characters that are coming to the commune. Definitely one. Haven’t decided on the other.   Chapter 15 will deal with suicide and possibly a wedding (or, m

The New Book, Parts 11, 12, And 13

As has oft' been said, “The best laid plans of mice and men . . .”   Well, I had plans for Chapters 11, 12, and 13, but things went awry. As often happens with my writing, the characters generally lead the story. So, in this case, Chapters 11, 12, and 13 cover the same characters over a four day period and, since they totaled over 20,000 words, there was only one thing to do, break it into three pieces.   As I had it planned two protagonists meet on the first day at a university when they we

Cbdt Chapter 8: Wtf Did Wl Do?

https://www.gayauthors.org/story/w-l/0sand1scbdt   Why did I do that to my Characters? Why did I open an old Can of Worms?   I am person, who can see the worst in human nature and its best. I am not a LGBT crusader or activist, but I am a conscientious man. What is stopping Christian Fundamentalists in Africa from Aligning with radical groups in the US?

Welcome To December

Just wanted people to know I am alive. My computer died and while saving to get another have had a few issues.   While I did do a story for the anthology I just have no way to type it up and get it done. This will be the first anthology since I joined that I haven't done. When I get my computer I will do it anyway.   For those who haven't gotten a Christmas card, I'm sorry. Most of my addresses were saved on my computer and when it died so did my list. I am hoping to get things together but

The New Book, Part 10

Chapter 10 is in the bag with 6,902 words. Two days, 6,902 words, just a bit too much. I watched an interview quite a while ago of an author who only wrote no more than 1,500 words a day. I’m definitely exceeding that rule, but as I’ve said before, this is a good story with a good set of characters who work well together, sometimes. Chapter 10 is one of those heartwarming stories. This book has a lot of those.   Coming up, Chapter 11 will concern a young girl who leaves her boyfriend and goes

Cbdt Chapter 7

https://www.gayauthors.org/story/w-l/0sand1scbdt/8   New developments and new characters, I love exploring the world, but the biggest piece of understanding is subtle interactions. Benji is tasked with subtly enabling detection without revealing how much he knows and with a clear target.   On a side note, during federal Implementation of Health Information Technology standards at my former employer, a Medical Center, we actually did hire outside consultants to test the database.

The New Book, Part 9

Chapter 9 is in the can at nearly 6,500 words. As luck would have it, Chapter 8 and Chapter 9 are now connected as Part 1 and 2 of the same story with a set of antagonists that in many ways are worse than the established antagonists on the ship. They are a group that is so evil they will go to any possible extent to eliminate those who they consider defective or a threat to their existence. Yes, I play the hate card, again.   If this book goes to twenty chapters it’s on course to come in at ov

Circle Of Life: Lion Guard Review (Non-Lgbt Show)

Before I do a write up for CBDT, I want to have some fun and do a review of a kid show that I caught by accident.   Caught the tail end of Lion Guard earlier this week, then found it on demand for free on my Digital Cable.   For those who do not watch Kid shows for nostalgia (How many of these shows are actually throwbacks to our generation's childhood, Millennials Rule! ) Lion Guard is the new Disney animated spin-off to Lion King movies.   Yes, you can enjoy the show without being a kid

What's Up

I know I've been a little quiet the last few weeks, and I wanted to address it with everyone - along with some thanks. I do appreciate your patience and kind words.   With respect to serial stories: I will try to post Friday. If I cannot, there should be a large Sunday post. Due to travel on Thanksgiving, I will not be posting on Thursday.   Sanitaria Springs: The next story up is 'Isn't it Bromantic? by Ryan Bartlet.

Putting It Together...

So hey!

The New Book, Part 8

Well, Chapter 8 is now in the folder. It needs a few revisions and proofs, but it’s fairly well established as it is. Unfortunately, it came in at over 7,000 words. But, I can’t see any way to stretch it out to 10,000 so I could split it in two. So, I guess I’ll just have to live with a long chapter.   One thing about this chapter, though, there is a storyline that can be established for a future chapter. I could’ve done it now, but it would be better to do it later because of the nature of an

Chapter 6 Cbdt

https://www.gayauthors.org/story/w-l/0sand1scbdt/7   Well that was a fun chapter. I know some people will expect explosions and gun battles (Those will happen later), but most data-based investigations are inconclusive until you can find common threads or links. Despite the advances in technology, deductive reasoning as seen on CSI, NCIS, or Criminal Minds based on hard evidence alone is not enough.   I am introducing a genre concept for GA writers and readers, Abductive Reasoning.

The New Book, Part 7

Well, must have been feeling real good today. Wrote and finished the first draft of Chapter 7 all in one day, just over 6,000 words. Of course, it had the protagonist from Chapter 1, so it went rather well. He’s a good character that just has a little trouble with life at the present time. Though, he’s young right now and has a long way to adulthood. Can you imagine being 12, while actually being 173 years-old? This guy has 257 years to live until he’ll be 18 and an adult.

What Is The State Of Us Racial Relations?

Before the Paris attacks, before our minds and hearts were set ablaze with images of terrorism, the biggest news in the US was 21st Century Racial tensions. I made a thread in the Pit to ask a simple question:   I am not doing this to gain attention, not to start an argument or another protest, but I want to know the truth. I am a minority Asian Citizen of the US as well, but I don't understand the racial tension from an African American point of view.   There are other things I can talk a

The Class Of 1995 #throwbackthursday

I've been going through the 1995 Newark High School yearbook to find pictures that I can post to my museum's Facebook, and I found this wonderful photo from the class of 1995: I get such a kick out of going through the old yearbook photos...seeing how people looked, how they dressed, and getting a feel for the era and the area. Checking out all those baggy mid-90's clothes was pretty funny. (I tried going through an '03 yearbook to see if the clothes started to look funny to me yet, but they do
