    Weekly Wrap Up (Jul. 12 - Jul. 18)

    By wildone

    We had an interesting discussion last week with the Weekly Wrap Up. I see the weather has broke in some places and yet others is getting worse 😮  Up here in Canada, it is so hot and dry we are burning up. Over 1000 wildfires going on right now   I wouldn't go camping now unless it was on a river or lake shore.  So back to one of the parts of the camping theme, I mentioned about swimming. So if you never went camping, or you like 5 star service in a hotel or you camped on a lake or you

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

The New Book, Part 6B

Finally finished Chapter 6 today. It’s a long one, over 6,700 words, but I think that was the only way to completely tell the story of a new character who goes from a horrific life to one peace, but full of questions. Sorry about being so vague, but, you know, that’s just the way it goes.   The next set of chapters will move up in time allowing each character to come to terms with their existence on Hercules III. The future still looks a bit vague, though. I know where I want to go, but I’m no

The New Book, Part 6A

Chapter 6 is going a bit slower than the first 5 chapters, but I took Wednesday off. Hey, I’m a vet, disabled vet, too; not bragging, just saying. Frankly, I was drunk for most of the 7 years I was in the Air Force. That kind of thing tends to happen when you’re the child of alcoholics; not bragging, just saying. Also, the lack of sleep finally caught up with me. I’ve been averaging 6 hours of sleep and, now, in the last three days have had to take an hour nap in the afternoon (prime writing tim

Cbdt Chapter 5

https://www.gayauthors.org/story/w-l/0sand1scbdt/6   Before I talk about this chapter, I want to say that my heart is with France, Mon coeur est avec la France.   This chapter is oddly poignant for today. Kevin is the voice of reason in a unreasonable world; he is shocked to learn how far people are willing to go to win an ideological victory. I wrote this chapter a month and half ago and sent it over to Kitt back in September, just pondering on the notion of Terrorism and ideological motiva

See you then!

The New Book, Part 5B

Well, finished Chapter 5 tonight. Another quick one. Two days, 5,621 words. At this rate, the book looks like it’ll come in at over 100,000 words; good size for an amateur writer.   Tomorrow, I’ll start Chapter 6, introduce a new character, and move from an agricultural scene to another urban story. Chapter 4 was sort of an urban story, but there was no clear indication where exactly it lay. I suppose it could have been in a small town, but that never came into play.   As I see the book prog

Writing Update

It's been a while since I've posted anything, so I wanted to give an update regarding my writing. I had a long bout of writer's block, which finally seems to be over. I've had a lot of ideas lately, which is a good thing. Now I just hope I'll be able to write them all! I have three ideas for upcoming anthologies - one of which has been written and beta read. I've started a second anthology story and have jotted down some notes for a third. I have an idea for the holiday story contest, whic

Update: I'm Still Alive

Hey there!   It's been a while since I last updated and talked to anyone here. Well, a lot has been going on, especially in school. I barely have time to do anything, so yeah, long story short, I've been very busy recently.   BUT, I'm currently on holiday now for the whole week. So, I may be around here chatting or doing more updates or replying messages that I've neglected (I'm so sorry for that). Keep a look out for me lol

The New Book, Part R.1

Revision day on the book. Chapters 1 through 4 received major proofreading, correctioning, and a bit of revising. Major revision was the title of the book. It started out to be GMMOs because at the time I came up with it there was real meaning to the letters, but now I can't remember what the second M is supposed to be, so the book is now titled The GMOs. I'm sure everyone knows what that means.   I admit it, I have a problem with tenses. Went through Chapters 1, 2, and 3 looking for 'ings' th

The New Book, Part 4B, And 5

I’ve decided to end Chapter 4 at 4,064 words. I’m sure there will be more with revision, but there just doesn’t seem to be anywhere to go further than when two 11 year-old girls admit not to have feelings toward each other. You just can’t go any further. It’s an important point in life. You have to stop a chapter somewhere and those two came to an end. Well, not totally. They have a full life ahead of them, if the bots or the hazards of living don’t get them first. They will be back in future ch

The New Book, Part 4A

What a day!   The neighbor’s Weimaraner got out of its run, again, and was terrorizing the neighborhood. It’s basically a very nice dog, but just a little timid and, of course, dumb as a door nail, but it’ll crap in the most inconvenient place, like our front yard.   Rambo was having a total fit whenever he caught sight of the other dog. For two long hours, Rambo ran from one window to the next trying to see where the dog had gotten to, twice knocking over his water bowl. He got so foamy at

Cbdt Chapter 4

https://www.gayauthors.org/story/w-l/0sand1scbdt/5   How are secrets kept in the real world? The answer from WL, they're not. The modern world is so stuffed with information outlets from 24 hour TV News, streaming videos of private citizens, blog entries like this, and even old fashioned paper mediums. However, secrets can be compartmentalized, each piece revealed and opened up as needed to achieve a certain goal. If I were running the CIA, it would be the most logical way to keep secrecy in a

The New Book, Part 3

Two days, 5,313 words, and Chapter 3 is over. Ended with new found love and a marriage. Oooh, so mushy-mushy.   Total word count thru 3 chapters is 16,110.   As I’ve said before, this is going just swimmingly.   If I could get some sleep this could go even better.   Chapter 4 starts out with Sister Angelina of the chromed rod and wooden ruler. Sounds absolutely peachy! Though, there will be a happy surprise.   Originally thought to use Sister Angelica as the evil nun, but I Googled tha

The New Book, Part 2

Well, actually, it’s going swimmingly.   Yesterday I worked on Chapter 3, section 2, and it went better than expected. It just didn’t seem to want to end. It’s mostly dialogue. It’s a party, a barbecue, steaks. There’s a problem on the commune that needs to be solved and the initial six partiers are trying to come to terms with their new situation. Then four new characters show up, which causes just a bit of consternation for the first six.   In the end, there were over 1,800 words. Just whe

Why Do I Feel So Bad....

Today I was having a conversation with a co-worker who work in Minneapolis (about 4 hours away). She started talking all dark and about how she didn't want to live anymore and how she was done with our team and the company we work for.   I got really scared for her and went to my local HR person and talked with her and shared the text messages that were traded. I landed up talking to her HR counter part in MPLS and provided her the documentation plus some other things my friend had told me.

The Book And Life

This morning I finished Chapter 2 of the new book. Remarkably, it has an ending slightly similar to Chapter 1, though without the mushy-mushy part.   Right now, the plan is to have a number of characters solo in their first chapter; then come together and separate (or stay together) in subsequent chapters. The bot situation on Hercules III is a little different than the previous book, which has a lot to do with how they have an impact on human life.   One aspect of the new order is the diffe

His Casual Acquaintance- A Halloween Story

Awhile back, a fellow GA member told me the story of a party buddy he used to have, and a curiosity surrounding him late one summer that still gives him chills to this day. Here's the story:   His Casual Acquaintance   When Greg was in his teens, he went to high school in the South. It was the early 1970's, and his hair was long- all the way to the back. Back then, having long hair meant that you smoked pot. At least the old folks thought you did, anyway. It was a sign that you weren't willi

0's And 1's: Cbdt Chapter 3 Lives

https://www.gayauthors.org/story/w-l/0sand1scbdt/4   I hope sincerely that people, who thought I only dabble in writing are now seeing that I am laying groundwork in an expansive story. I want to write a story that does not just sit in one place and tells a story from one perspective. I want my characters to be smart, but ignorant of certain facts at different times.   In this chapter Hunter wakes up from a wild night of drinking and partying, he doesn't know where he wakes up and when he fi

My First - And Perhaps Last - Blog

How to write a blog? I've no idea, since this is my first try. I've looked at a few blogs written by other GA members, and I don't think I could come up with anything remotely resembling the interesting, funny or cool entries of other people. In any case I don't have much to say, and I certainly don't expect anyone to pay a lot of attention. Except my GA friends who're kind, supportive and wonderful. You know who you are. My main reason for creating a blog and making an entry is to compi

Withdrawing The Anchor

My heart was broken yesterday.   Does that sound a tad cliche?   Perhaps it is, but not to me,   For now my love will never be.   But in the silence of the night,   I contemplate my common plight,   And now, quite plainly, I can see,   That in the breaking, I am free.   Yesterday, I learned something about a friend of mine. She is in love with someone; a person whom I do not know, but who has been in her life for some time. There was
