    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 Nature Of Success - A Discussion With Myself

Disclaimer: This will be depressing. Read at your own peril.   How do I define success?   This seems to be the question of the decade for me. I don't know if I've been successful in my life. My instinct is to say I haven't been, but maybe I am? If success is having financial security, then I definitely have not been successful yet. If success is reaching a position of power, then no again. A position of influence perhaps? Yes, I have some small amount of influence on the world, so in that I

The Last Two Months...

Its been Two months, 60 days actually, that I have gone through a phase that made me to learn a lot. A phase that has given me lessons to understand people, situations and mostly about fate. I know I have gone through some bad situations and incidents that made my life so... I don't even know what that felt.   It is 12 August, I got a phone call saying my cousin is in hospitals and in serious condition. I went there after everybody visited her. Docs told us she is dealing with her life and dea

Target's Only Plus-Size Male Model Strikes A Bull's Eye For Body Positivity

Found this feel good story about a male plus size model showing that beauty doesn't have to come in just one size!   Target's Only Male Plus-Size Model Strikes A Bull's Eyes for Body Positivity   Pretty cool story. I mean, I grew up with that whole Abercrombie and Fitch aesthetic being pushed, and it's cool to see guys who don't fit that mold still being held up as being attractive.   I do have to hand it to Zach Miko for refusing to fit into conventional beauty standards and just being li

October Happenings

For a change I don't want to complain or talk about my life. I want to talk about my writing.   Lately my muse has been active. Which is really nice. What this means for my readers.   1) I have a new Halloween story coming up shortly. Like some of those from my past, it will be a one shot, but hopefully it will be something people can enjoy. Instead of the usual stories about witches, zombies, vampires, or werewolves, I decided to go a little different. My tale is called Halloween - Lilith S

Muwahahahaha...i'm Going To Try A Short Story For Halloween

Well, like the title says, I want to play this spooky holiday with a fun short story idea I have dreamed up. It involves a magical world of Warlocks, Vampires, and Werewolves   Since Cyber Bullying Defense Team is in post production for the 1st half of the story with a publication date of 10/23/2015, I've got some time to write something short and fun.   Here's the tag line:   I know what people might say: WL, what the fuck are you doing? This isn't your kind of story, why are you even

Music Memories Of Beverly Hills 90210

The Unauthorized 90210 Story aired on Lifetime this weekend, and it made me feel all nostalgic for the show, and of course, the show's music. (Which unfortunately has been butchered on the DVD's.) So I thought I'd post my favorite tunes from the 90210 soundtrack: 1.) When Dylan and Brenda break up, for the first time, after Brenda freaks out about her pregnancy scare.  2.) "2000 Miles" by the Pretenders When the gang watches at the train station as Steve leaves to search for his biological

Further Delays

Hello All,   I know some of you have been looking forward to my upcoming chapter of Indiana Summer for a very long, unreasonably so, time. I want to apologize for all of the delays and set backs. I recently suffered yet another one in the form of a computer glitch that seriousl corrupted the file I was working. I have been having to reconstruct the chapter bit by bit from memory.   I have also been pulling mandatory over time hours at work and getting very little sleep. I know I have said

Ready Made Reading List

Started to read a new book, sample sentence follows.   They were like the faces of sleepwalkers looking backward across nightmares, recognizing no one and no familiar things, glaring down across the fleeing irrevocable instant as if they were being hurried to execution itself, flashing on, rapid and successive and curiously identical, not despite the fact that each had an individuality and a name, but because of it; identical not because of an identical doom, but because each carried into that

Well... That Was An Interesting Time...

So an update. The company I was working for decided to let me go with no notice - which sucked. Their reasons were that I was defaming the company at every opportunity with my cast. Which was 100% inaccurate, I never called on the company at any point in the process. I stated quite openly that the production was unsupported and in the private conversations on how to handle this with my assistant I was quite harsh - but I never publically showed my frustrations. That would be incredibly unprofess

Mother

You can only have one Mother Patient, Kind, and True. No other friend in all the world will be the same to you.   When other friends forsake you, to Mother you will return. As we look upon her picture, Sweet memories we recall.   Of a face so full of sunshine and a smile for one and all. Sweet Jesus, take this message, to our dear Mother up above.   Tell her how we miss her and give her all our love. We can

Wearing Glasses To See Straight... Or In My Case, See Gay

I was around 5 years old when I began to wear glasses, and I wasn't the lest bit happy about it Even at such a young age, I thought I looked like a dweeb   The only bright spot, at the time, was during the first grade (ages 6 to 7). At the time I wore these round glasses that, according to my classmates, made me look like Harry Potter   Well, I got used to them eventually, and soon enough I wasn't even thinking much about them.   Now, I must insert a bit of context Erm... I ain't a fas

Update: End Of The First Month

A lot to update actually this week but I'm too lazy to go into details To sum it up, I'll list them things instead.   1. Braces boy and I got along great, his sassy side came bursting out in the debate in HIV 2. Was angry at a friend whom I initially didn't like because she treats me like I'm her boyfriend or slave and never respect my time. 3. Found out that my other friend and I have way too much in common it's AWESOME, but she still won't go karaoke with me 4. Once again, my plans and

Literary Device: Chekhov's Gun

I am as much a writer as I am a commentator and reviewer, so let me introduce a literary concept to all my fellow GA Authors.   Chekhov's Gun is an allusion to the famous short story author, Anton Chekhov of the early 20th Century. and his idea of utilitarian story elements. He proposed that if a gun were hanging on a main character's wall in the 1st chapter of a story, then it must follow that the gun would go off eventually in a later chapter. If the gun never goes off, then the writer shoul

Moment Of Silence For Victims Of Oregon Shooting

The Altitude Of Love

The Altitude of Love   maybe it's something more than faith... beyond mere heartbeats and belief... maybe this love is an absolute. I want it to be.   I feel you so near to me all the time I can see how it's already a conclusion and not a supposition. I need it to be.   those are the things I mean when I say "I love you."

A Farewell To Arms

WARNING: This article contains crud humor. If you have not read The Atlantic online article, “The Coddling of the American Mind”, or if you do not enjoy crud humor, please leave now. You have been warned!   On Monday afternoon I tripped coming up the stairs to the front deck resulting in a full header onto the deck. I have a hard lump on my left eyebrow, a colorful left eyelid and surrounding tissue, and, to make matters worse, both wrists are seriously sprained.   When my son came home from

Pre And Post Of Chapter 2 - 'a Letter By Francis'

When I was writing the first chapter of 'Suicide Note', it just came out like that according to the circumstances. Coming to continuing the story I stuck there. I don't know how to start and how to involve all new and existing characters into this platform. That's where I think a lot and finally I got what to write. The whole picture was displayed on my mind's imaginary screen.   Now coming to what to write first, I thought about it too. That's when it struck that I don't have to write about D

Becoming A Gentleman

A fine read and bit of instruction for anyone in need of addressing one's own lack of civility or in imparting such civility upon one's distinguished characters from their tales. This book is the standard of every man who wished to comport themselves as a gentleman of distinction in English High Society.   The Gentlemen's Book of Etiquette, and Manual of Politeness:   http://www.gutenberg.org/files/39293/39293-h/39293-h.htm

The Future... Starting From The Inside.

We need to reestablish the family. We need to put it once again in the center of our hearts. We need to prioritize the bonds that link us, prioritize the hugs that bring us together, prioritize the tenderness that makes us love each other, prioritize compassion against an impersonal world that negotiates everything, that corrupts everything. I’m willing to compromise, that’s why today I told my parents about that part of me that has been hiding for so long. We need to start the change in society

Did I Ever Mention To You All That I Let Two Homeless Guys Stay Over Winter?

I realized while answering Method's blog that I never told you guys the story of last Winter's guests. Last year during the worst Blizzard in the history of New England, I let two homeless guys stay in my house. The first question in your mind maybe, Is WL crazy? Then, the second question, Were they hot?   To answer your questions, No, I am quite sane if a bit soft hearted. As for hotness, one was around my age with a cute/shy demeanor and another was in his 50's who kept saying thank you eve

Creepy Lady At 2:30 A.m. In The Morning

I'm a 29-year old male from the East Coast. Tonight, I went out to my favorite bar to listen to my favorite cover band.   On my way back home, I stopped at a local bank which has a drive through with an ATM. It's located at a blue-collar shopping center in the middle of a very busy highway in the suburbs, although being almost 3 a.m. it was empty. I wanted to deposit some money in my bank account to make an insurance payment.   While I was getting my money together, some lady walked up to th
