    Secret Author - Rewind!

    By Valkyrie

    The posting of this year's Secret Author Contest will be delayed indefinitely due to Cia going through a tragic family emergency.  Please respect her privacy and do not reach out to her and ask questions at this time, especially about when the SA stories will be published.  We apologize for the delay, as we know this is a highly-anticipated event each year, but family matters take precedence, especially during a time like this.  Thank you for your attention and understanding.  Stay tuned for mor

Odd Day

Things are work are getting pathetic but even I don't have the energy to talk about that.   Been on a writing kick lately. Been doing a lot of the prompts. Granted I create them now, but I have been doing the ones no one has attempted. I am not sure if it is because people feel they are no good or because they just didn't know how to approach them. Luckily there are some brave souls who will give my wild ideas a whirl so very grateful to Cia, Dolores, and Nephy.   I got the latest chapter of

...they meet each other through the friends of friends who they never know...

Well its been a while since i visited here.   Thought i would update everyone simply because everyone else is doing it.   Took A Levels in the summer and passed with three 3 C's which was excellent for me considering i pretty much screwed up my english and theatre exams (2 D's). I love coursework. Its my saviour   Moved to university last week. I was admitedly terrified. I didn't want to go but I had to force myself. But now i'm here. So much has changed in my life. For example, when my

A taste of paradise

Long time no blog...   Most people missed my last blog post because it didn't appear in the list of recent posts. That was a side effect of the delayed publication setting... There went another failed attempt at humour.   The highlight of the past two months is obviously my trip to the Philippines and my visit to John. The GA meetup in London was great too, but ... no offence to the nice peeps I saw or met there ... it could hardly compare.   So let's rewind to early August. The stakes w

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

Thursday is Thor's Day

Well it has taken me some time to sit down and finally watch the movie Thor. It was pretty decent. I guess between the director and the actors they finally got it fairly right.Of course being a comic book geek I do have one or two things to nit pick but the only major one was killing off Loki. Hard to do when he is such an important part of Ragnarok.   The title for this blog is actually very correct. Thursday is actually Thor's Day. One of those little twists in history. With so many months a

Mixed sort of day

Amazing the friendships you can create here. Yes day by day if you wish to you can make friends and deep that friendship. I know I have been doing that with people I met here.   Anyway, was busy as hell today. The whole morning was spent running around like a nut. I started this morning off going to my Weight Watcher's meeting. Wish I could say it was a huge loss but I did lose 2 pounds. I know I shouldn't complain but just wish it would melt off already. Well didn't put it on in a day so not

More about a transformation

Well! only me! Its about progress and moving forward. I am a different man now to what I was when I joined back in April. There have been many ups and downs, there still are but they are made better in minutes by my Stuby. October is a bad month for me, and the end of it especially, not only my abuser dieing but also that she was buried. And along with all the flash backs and the bad stuff bubbling up.Is relief thats its over and she has gone. I still have issues and hang-ups but they are

Tuesday Night Ramblings

Okay so it was another interesting night at work. It is getting so the drama there at work could infuse life into any old soap opera. Feels like you need a score card to keep track of who is dating who, who isn’t friends with who, who is has an in with the junior mangers so may not have to work and can disappear to talk or go on cigarette breaks whenever they like. I long for the store I use to work in where rules mattered and policies were followed.   In the mean time I can happily announce I

Idea Overload

I've been doing a lot of edting lately and one of the things that I have noticed is that every time I am eyeballs deep in editing a story I have all these new story ideas creeping up on me in the dark. Sometimes they attack. They can attach themselves iike leeches to my soul until i pay them attention or they can dig under my skin like ticks and suck away at my motivation until they are bloated and I am numb...   Either way they have to be dealt with.   Typically I write these 'problem child

It's been a while. -

- been really busy lately, it's 2am & I feel like now is the right time to start writing again. It's been months since my last blog entry & reading it over again feels.... surreal. As I wrote it, I was feeling pretty down and miserable at the time, it pretty much summed up the relationship I had that never really worked out.   It's funny how as time goes on, I can see things more clearly now. He's gone. It's been a month already. He's living his life, I'm living mine. & I'm fi

How time does fly

Okay today was sort of a mixed bag of stuff. I guess it is always that way. For those who care to read just hang on cause the mind is overdrive and I just hope the fingers can keep up.   First up is my job. I didn't wait I just put in for the only week I knew my co-worker was on vacation. So I'm presently trying to get the second week of October off. I will know tomorrow if I got it or not. Willing to bet money at this point that I didn't. Anyway I am going to put in for some assorted days of

Screwed and so not enjoying it

Okay, I’m having problems all over. This is the second attempt to post this blog so let’s see how it goes. Got a nice message from Myr the first time telling me the site was updating.   Let me begin by apologizing. This blog is going to be a bit of me just complaining. Feel free to read other things. In the meantime if you have been looking to see what I am up to I do say I’m sorry. Things here have been a bit out of whack.   My father is now home from his vacation. The only problem seems to

Freedom of speech, Means nothing to most. But trouble if you breach it. ~Polystyrene

If you could not with stand the worlds harsh reality's what would you do? You have kept on fighting through hell to get to the other side. Now you are there you are kicked back in to the deepest depths of your own personal hell, Would it not be logical to just give up and retreat to your safe haven. Or keep on pressing at what you want until you either snap under pressure, die or gain what you wish to achieve in life.   Life is a fickle thing, It does not have to be such a harsh, problematic

so they like to bite....

Lately, my characters have been biting and bonding, Ok, well not so lately, too. I've noticed this has been an on going theme in many of my stories for as long as I've been writing. Not every story of course, but for a vast majority of them.   Have you ever noticed that you have some strange (or not so strange) common theme in your writing? If so what is it?

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

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and this week is the Deaf awareness week

Many of you know that September is the childhood cancer awareness month and this week is national deaf awareness week.   I often think about children with cancer, and hope that one day, there will be promising treatments that can cure any type of cancers. Three people I knew from high school had cancer and didn't survive from them after few years of battling. From my perspective, I believe that the government is focusing too much on research on adult cancers than childhood cancers. The govern

Last Entry in Surrogate Process

Golly [trying to practice child friendly language] it's been over a year since I started this blog - a few of the posts were lost when yours truly had a bit of a snit of nothing - but I started to detail this last August I think.

Having fun crushing on a supposed straight guy.

Gosh, I'm such a slut!   So yeah, I'm having this crush on this guy I know about from a class. I said "know about" because I've never actually talked to him or anything besides a certain amount of class particpation on both sides. So I basically know nothing about this Justin. Well, yeah, I know his name is Justin, and he's from the States. And cute to my eyes.   O well, Sky and Graham comes to mind when I'm talking about this situation. Sky, well, another sad news.   So yeah, I'm pretty c

New Profile image

End of a silent time

Well my time alone is drawing to a close. Tomorrow my father returns from his vacation. While I had a small portion of it off I am torn about his return. He is home but I get a break from the dog.   I have been busy turning out stories in the mean time. Charlie is getting ever closer to the end. I keep finding time to knock out short stories. Influenced by those authors I love both here on the site and those whose books I buy, I've written a number of things lately. I've gone in for vampires,

Trying Something New

As fall begins I would like to see just how much I really am writing. Comsie keeps saying I need to write more. So from now until Dec 21 I want to see how much I really am writing and editing.
