    What Do You Want?

    By Valkyrie

    First, a reminder that the deadline for this year's anthology is fast approaching!  The Proof Team is hard at work, but keep those stories coming in!  I've been brainstorming some ideas for the anthology blog, and I wanted to get input from authors and readers of the anthologies.  Please tell me what you'd like to see in future anthology blogs, and I will do my best to make it happen.   1.  Anthology Rewinds - re-featuring past anthologies 2.  Writing tips - such as grammar, punct

Holidays - meh

Okay, so we sit a week before Thanksgiving. I'm sort of confused but I think at this time of the year it is is normal. I work full time in retail. That means I am supposed to get no less than 32 hours a week. In fact the latest thing to come down is all full timers will have 36 hours a week. Well they keep scheduling me 30 hours and I have to find ways to add the two hours in so I stay full time or I lose my health benefits.   Well next week is Black Friday. i work in one of those wonderful co

no one can hear it but me. -

"no matter what or who you are, there's a light in the darkness of everybody's life."   I've been trying so hard to make sense of things, but I don't know where to start or what to do.   the short moments we had to ourselves: the stolen glances, the stifled laughter, when your eyes met mine, & the way you smiled - because you knew.   It's been a long time since I've felt butterflies in my chest, & I'm glad that you're the one changing that.   I wonder what you are thinki

Things are getting done - sort of

Well the Thanksgiving cards are out. I bought my Christmas cards. For me that is a major step this year.   I have my father's birthday card and gifts. Still trying to figure out what to do about Christmas for him. I forgot my sister-in-laws birthday. I wonder if that makes me a bad person? Anyway I ordered off Amazon, and sent her card out. All I can say is Oops, I'm human.   I posted Seeon yesterday, partially because I was having a bad day and partially cause I know the site will be down

NaNoWriMo

So, I have decided to do NaNo again this year. My last effort Death By Dreaming turned out pretty well so let's see with this one.   Thanks to Maria for forcing me to wait for two days before starting even though my head was bursting with ideas, so I started on November 1st like a good girl.   So. I have the whole thing planned out... as much as I ever do, although I doubt that I will be sticking to it; I never do.   The characters are pretty wild this time and there's a lot of action, So

One-fifth check in

so today is the 10k mark.... did I make it?   Yes. With a little to spare.   I now have somewhat of a plan, a few characters, a bad guy and best of all.... a plot with something that looks like an ending.

Trials and Tribulations

I just published the first chapter of my first story ever. It's a coming out, coming of age story about the trials and tribulations of Andy Collins and friends as he confronts his sexual orientation in a small mining town of Pine Hills nestled away in the Appalachian Mountains of Eastern Kentucky.   I would love for you to give it a read and let me know if you liked the chapter and would like for me to continue the story. I know I will make mistakes,but hopefully I will learn from them and not

Progress

Okay this is literally what I have as my check list this week.   1) Complete Chapter 29 of AH - Done. In fact it is one of the longer chapters. I'm nearly done with 30 now. Thank goodness.   2) Complete work on Seeon - We have successfully broken him up into chapters, expanded upon areas that were weak, and he is going for his last look over by the editor now that the beta and I have cleaned him up. Hopefully I will be posting chapter 1 later today. Remind me that prompts are supposed to be

And Off We NaNo!

Ok I'm still up so it's technically still November 1 for me. Deal with it.   I have no plot.   I have no plan.   I just finished roughly 1700 words.   It's going to be an interesting month.   Go! Go! NaNo!   p.s. I'm not going to be giving daily updates. Every 3-4 days should be sufficiant don't you think?

Prep and Execute

Okay, so it has been a busy month. Oh yeah today it just day one. LOL. Let me explain. First, Happy Birthday Mark. Now I screwed up and didn't get his gift out in time it seems so he didn't have it today. The joys of dealing with many different postal services. But that just begins it.   This month I have family birthdays - my sister-in-law, and my father. Various other friends, oh and any international gifts I plan to send for Christmas I was told by the post office to make sure were in the m

NaNoWriMo 2011

Are you doing it? Huh? Huh? Huh?   Isn't that so annoying? Yeah? I thought so.   Anyways, quick note on me: I'm good. Slightly sick but good all things considered. I don't have any cable because the cable company can't get off their fat arses and fix it, which I'm okay with at the moment. I'm somewhere with fast net. I'm good.   As for me, I'm doing fanfiction this year. A story that has been biting my own arse to get me to write it. Yeah. It's called Like a Bullet, is a Bleach AU, comes

Life's curves

Life's curves   I don't know, I get so confused sometimes. I listen to people talk, read stories (fiction, i know) and like all stories there's usually a grain of truth in them. They do came from someone's experiences. Like it's been said, there's nothing new under the sun.   Years ago I admitted to a friend that being gay scared me not because of what other people thought, since I had been through so much already by the age of 27 to worry with opinions not my own. It scared me because I nev

Pandora

Pandora     After clearing security and going down two different elevators, I guessed that I was at least 500 meters underground. The corridor had heavy steel blast doors with key card locks and bio-hazard signs every 50 meters. The deeper into the facility that we went, the higher the biohazard protection level of the labs that lined the corridors.   I asked the guard what the USAMARID needed from the Dept. of Homeland Security and he told me that answer was well above his pay grade.   W

The Countdown is On

Tomorrow is Halloween. I'm closing, or to be more accurate I am working a midnight release of another crappy video game at my damn store on Halloween. i don't know if my car will be egged, people will be in costume or what. All I do know is i can't get dressed up. I'll just be my boring old self. Unfortunately with the hours I had this weekend I didn't even make a holiday party at all. I made it home late tonight and missed the start of my show, Once Upon a Time.   Anyway, the countdown is al

Boner-deflating or not?

I am working on a story with a scene where the main character is having his first bit of man sex after being in a long term relationship with a woman. The woman is now deceased and has been for two years. He is testing the waters so to speak about his own sexuality agian, prior to his marriage he had played both sides of the fence.   During the man-sex the new fling preforms a sexual act that his wife would never do. He mentally makes that connection.   The problem comes in that one of m

I'm Dreaming of a White Halloween?

Okay, so here we are just two days away from Halloween. I mean you should walking outside, enjoying the falling leaves, the colors still changing, and air beginning to a sharp nip to it.   Mother Nature however, has other plans. Today we are getting a snow storm. Let me correct that, there is a snow storm five miles north of me, I'm getting rain and hail.   I have friends who still live up in Connecticut. They have been without power, buried under snow, no heat, and all the joys you might ex

Update on the Weight.

Okay so I don't care who you are what you are trying to accomplish but sometimes things go astray. I'm human. I do things I know I shouldn't. For the last two weeks at Weight Watchers I gained. It wasn't huge, only .6 lbs a week, but after two weeks that was 1.2 pounds I had put back on. The reason, I simply wasn't careful.   So moving on to this week. I've been working more, running like an idiot all week, and oh yeah no sleep. So I wasn't exactly expecting to see anything on the scale this w

You have the Power

Life can sometimes seem like you are just barely holding on to a thin weak string. Having a hard enough time that you are just getting through life one day at a time, and can't see a reason why to plan your life any further than one day at a time. But the truth is, nothing lasts forever, including bad times.   I have had my share of things gone wrong. At 15, I realized I was more interested in guys and their bodies than girls. This lead me to getting caught sneaking a peek at a high school spo

Damn Prompts

Yes, you read that right, I said Damn Prompts and I meant it. The problem is I create the suckers now. I felt I should use some ideas for stories I had but just hadn't had time to get to. Smart idea, right? Wrong.   There is a reason some of these things have launched much longer stories than just the small page to two pages stories they should. My real complaint is that I read Cia's take on one of my prompts and felt inspired to go ahead and write my own take on it. I loved her interplay wit
