    November CSR Discussion Day: Hustle by Talo Segura

    By Cia

    Wow, November already. With the year almost over, I wanted to keep featuring things that kept readers guessing and challenge the idea of the traditional reading genres and stories. What did you think of Hustle? Share your thoughts below, but first, the interview!! Chocolate or Vanilla? I have to cheat... both! What's your favorite room in your home? Do you plot or write there? I don't have a favourite room and I write where ever I find myself alone and not being disturbed, of

14-Year Old Girl Stands Up for Reproductive Rights

There's this awesome article I just read, written by a 14-year old girl who took part in the protests against the Texas State legislature for the restrictive abortion laws that were passed. She held up a sign with her father saying, "Jesus Isn't A Vagina So Keep Him Out of My Vagina" :       This is the article she wrote in response to internet trolls who've called her a slut:   I'm The 14-Year-Old Who Wrote The "Jesus Isn't A Dick So Keep Him Out of My Vagina" Sign In Texas And Was Lab

Coming soon to a gay narrative site near you...and other musing

Well, I'm ready to finish up Crosscurrents. The final chapter and the epilogue will be posted no later than Sunday, July 28, at 11:59 pm CDT. I hope I still have a few readers who started reading when I started writing it, a decade ago.   Wait. A decade?   How did this happen?   Let's see: In the course of a decade, I got finished with college, got finished with grad school, got a job, got married, started a business, had a kid, quit a job, went full-time at my business, took another part

History

6 years ago, I saw the most beautiful boy ever who asked me to be his first but never once said I love you. Instead, he would tell me that I couldn't put my hands on my hips because it made me look like a girl. My friends saw my tears and I told them that I deserved him.   4 years ago, I kissed a boy who tasted like cigarettes and told me that he would always come save me even though he couldn't save himself. My friends watched from a distance and shook their heads in silence.

Just wondering

I was just wondering if it's unethical or immoral or some other wrong for a beta reader or editor to like or leave a review on a story they are working on. What's your opinion?         It's never too late to be what you might of been.

Definitely Not a Gardener

So, I mentioned a little while ago about learning that there is a right way and a wrong way to water a garden. Wellllllll, I'm still confused evidently or just plain stupid. My brother called me yesterday before I left work and asked me if I minded watering the garden for him. (garden is at my place) I said sure, no problem. After all, my hubby has very plainly explained to me last time how to do it properly. When I get home, I let my doggie out, and we go out to do my good deed of the da

Health Update #2 & Story News!

So, I just realized I never updated my blog after receiving the results of my a1c test. The results from that pretty much came back like we had thought and showed me as being pre-diabetic (type 2). I've tried to be a good girl and lay off a lot of the sugars, but that is easier said than done.   Now, to add another level to my health issues. Sunday morning, I woke my hubby up at 4 am (not purposely) by sitting up in bed, my arms pulled in close to my body, my entire body tense, my mouth op

Kids React to Controverisal Cheerios Commercial

I came across , which focuses on the Just Checking Cheerios commercial that featured an interracial couple . I thought it was really interesting to watch- the kids just did not see what the big deal was. I had to admit that I didn't see why it was a big deal.  I remember when I was in 8th grade, I knew a black girl and a white guy were dating each other and there were some raised eyebrows, but by the time I was in high school I really didn't notice any kind of qualms about interracial da

Zaïde, A Matter Of Style

OK. So last week Netflix delivered to my doorstep the 2006 Salzburg production of this German-language opera by Mozart. It - the production – was so German, I mean, wow. Every single one of the male characters, except one, were in a constant and slow amble all over the stage wearing giant papier-mâché heads! Sometimes the heads came off so they could sing; sometimes, not. Here is a sample. Please note the out-of-scale elements (all unexplained within the drama…), and the title character's partic

Gay marriage in England and Wales to be made legal this week!

Same-sex marriage is set to become law in England and Wales later this week. Scotland is on course to adopt a similar change in the law. All main political parties in Britain have united to back gay marriage in Britain. That's   - the Conservative Party - the Labour Party - the Liberal Party - the Scottish Nationalist Party   This includes protections for transgender couples, which will allow people to change sex and remain married.   The bill allowing same-sex couples to marry in Engl

Volunteer Work- Day 10

Today I came close to finishing the inventory on my final box before going into full-on processing.   This box was one of the easier ones, as it mainly consisted of dated photo albums- so far ranging from 2009 down to 1979. One really cool photo I found was a 1981 photograph of then-Senator Joe Biden. I've seen a lot of photos with Senator Tom Carper (he was also governor of the state from 1993 to 2001), but I had never seen one with Joe Biden. Dude still didn't have a full head of hair even

I haven't really thought this through.

... soooo... today... or should i start with yesterday. Uh well... Today.   Today my best friend had an anxiety attack, but it not just that. Those are normal. She went missing for 3 hours. I don't know what bought it on how to solve it. Also Why the fuck i'm trying to sort her out when my own mind is a living wasp nest. I'm worried for her, yeah. But i'm panicing, you know, tbh.. I no longer want anything to do with my family. I hate them and every word they say... Its irrational b

siren

Oh, mighty giant, how I worship from afar. I see a lone, striding tsar. But I may only gape.   Oh, fateful spectre, your visage of a love once known, unearthing the wounds I had sewn. How may I end this pain?   Now, squinting siren, I climb aloft to reach to you. Now my life shall 'gin anew, and I smile at the thought.   And as I jump come close to me you wicked, wicked boy. I am that lovely shattered toy you now hold within your hands.

Shapshot July

So, just an update for those who want to know. For those that don't, I have the added pleasure that you rolled your eyes when you saw this   So Health..... Is fairly good. Comparatively. I seem better than I was, though I still have bad days. These tend to worry Paya and make me mad at myself - usually because they are triggered by my own lack of control. Since the start of May I managed to lose 6kg which is awesome. I have another 25 to go, but every step is progress.   In relatio

My dog was euthanized today

He was my best friend for 12 years. I didn't deserve his loyalty or his love, he just gave it without a reason.   I don't know what to say, my dog is gone and I do not know what to say.   I will dedicate a poem to him:   I Was Lucky To Have You   You were always in my heart Greater than any lover Greater than any partner For with you I knew I had a friend   I remember our first meeting You were small You were light I

" In The Flesh, " Homophobia And The Zombie Menace

In the Flesh, Homophobia and the 'Zombie Menace' July 13, 2013   The Setup:   What's so wrong with being Gay? In this day and age, with advances on all fronts towards the common acceptance of something that really is no big deal – equivalent to a person's height or eye color – does hatred and ignorance-based fear of 'gay as a disease' have any cultural grounding? Does it lurk in the subconscious like a repressed but recurring nightmare? I am an odd duck; I know that.

Just Another Friday

Been wild few weeks. I finally began writing. I started an ongoing story. I forewarned everyone that I was keeping the chapters short because, well I am afraid my focus would wander and my dear muse would give me the finger before she walked out. Other than a few blips she has been out every week since I began.   I should be wearing a scarlet letter, a big red H for home wrecker, or so it feels. When someone's future falls apart because they are stuck on you, you can't help but feel responsibl

Finishing my first Gay Authors story

As some of you are aware, I started writing and posting Crosscurrents in the spring of 2003. It's been a long, strange trip, and that trip has almost reached its end.   Over the years, my work on the story has been glacially slow. I imagine there may be a hundred or more readers who started reading and ultimately bailed because I have been so terribly slow at getting it written.   As you'd expect of a person over a decade's time, I've been through some changes. Above all else, my life situat
