    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

Through The Hooded Bridge: What To Expect From My Halloween Story?

Just finished it today: 43 pages, 18K words, broken into 4 parts, and have several picture illustrations that I will upload into gallery as I am posting the mini-series.   Here's some facts:   1. It is a Sci-Fi, Horror, and at times critiques of modern human civilization, politics, and value systems. I also touched on areas of LGBT rights that might be a bit controversial. 2. I started writing this at the start of October in anticipation of Halloween, it was originally meant to be a 4K word

Bottom(Less) Tales In Vegas

I’m back...and this blog entry is sponsored by “wingtip shoes” and candy apple cigarettes.   I could look this up but I’m a bit too much on the lazy side to figure out how long it’s been since I last posted a blog entry. But I’m sure it’s so long ago that even my one loyal reader has given up on checking my outdated blog and has disappeared into the ether. Unfortunately I am regulated to posting to those that have no idea who I am or realize the sheer boredom the next few minutes will bring

I Should Be Sleeping. Instead, I'm Planning My Future

I'm going to go back and get my Master's degree. I already have Bachelor's degrees in Political Science and Education, and a diploma in Adult Education. The MA in Political Science is a bit of unfinished business, one that I swore I'd go and finish up. It's been years since I wrote an academic essay, but such skills don't usually atrophy over time. I... I want this. Not just for the sake of having an MA, but because politics is something I've grown to love from both the outsider's drama of it, a

Writing: Where I Am

It has been so long since I wrote an actual story, that I think it’s time that I wrote were exactly I am with it. To be honest, this was inspired by four people: Comicality, craftingmom, Parker Owens, and northie.   Yesterday, Comsie posted a topic about the harassment he experienced due to leaving some of his stories unattended to. And it got me thinking of my own stories. While I certainly never experienced any harassment over any of my stories, it made me examine how long it takes for me to

As Falling Apart Comes To A Close... Here's Where I Am...

Well, after ten long months, Falling Apart is coming to its conclusion. Sorry it has taken so long, but it is also my longest story to date. I hope it was worth waiting for. So now that FA is done, I'm asking myself, what next?   I did write an anthology story for the Fall Blindsided theme. I am still trying to think of a follow up for Santa's little Helper, hopefully even in time for this Christmas. And I'd really like to maybe use a few prompts again. Maybe even do the Special Antholog

Get Up And Face The Day

Husband comes home tomorrow. It's been a long time, and it seems like forever since I wrote to tell you all he was leaving. Home tomorrow, and it stills feels like forever away. I have to get through another long night with the bed cold and empty next to me until Dashi jumps up onto it and snugs so hard into my shoulder he practically pushes me out. Another morning walking with the Goblin strapped to my back, trying to convince the teething Goblin to eat breakfast. One more moment when I will ge

Predestination

Predestination   Staring at the blue sky To the distant pasts that glittered in the stars Unseen, unfound, hidden beneath the fluffy clouds   Lying on the concrete Hard truths and harder are the choices that exhumed The sins of the father reflected on the Lamb of God   Floating skyscrapers Diminishing breaths that’s building upon the layers of Foggy winter morning’s urban bustling rabble   14/10/2016 ©asamvav111

Shackles

Music's always been important to me. Even though I'm as tone deaf as you can get. While everyone's trying to figure out what a certain candidate for public office meant when he said the shackles had been removed, this is the first thing that came to my mind:     The Victore Calderon remix in his E=VC2 album is even better!

October 2006

Ten years ago today, I left work and headed to my car, cursing the light snowfall. While not unheard of, snow in October is rare in my area, especially early October. I headed home, figuring that it would stop and melt off fairly quickly--a dusting, at most. By the time I turned onto my street, it was evident that this was no mere dusting, and we were in for a lake effect storm. On October 12th. I made it home early enough that I was able to park in my driveway. I spent the evening listeni

How Much Sex Is Too Much Sex In Writing?

A lot has been said about how sex sells. There’s no doubt about that; sex and sexuality are hugely important to many marketing and advertising campaigns, and the fact that companies continue to experience commercial success after using sex as a marketing tool proves how well sex sells.   But, I’m not a marketer, or an advertising executive. I’m just a guy who writes young adult novels. Which leads me to wonder how much sex is too much sex for a novel, or even a series of novels. We’re all taug

Halloween Story Available On Amazon: Please Review

Hey everyone!   My story "Mask of the Hunter" is currently on sale on Amazon(Kindle) for $0.99 through Halloween! It's also available for free here at GayAuthors.org, but if you'd like to support my efforts in becoming noticed at Amazon, this would be a great way to do it. Every little bit helps my stats, and the stats help me sell my books to others who haven't yet had a chance to read it.   If you can't afford it or otherwise have something preventing you from purchasing it, but still wan

One Pulse Anthology Collection

I've struggled with how to introduce this eBook, but I guess the simplest way is to just come out and say it. After the Pulse shooting in Orlando, many publishers and authors set about doing benefit stories. Dreamspinner Press was no different. The first of these benefit anthologies is One Pulse. The overall theme is that Love Wins. The stories found in the One Pulse anthology show that love wins over any obstacle. At least three GA Authors participated: Renee Stevens, Alicia Nordwell, and MA Ch

After School Satanists!

OK. I was against prayer in schools. The problem is that once you allow one religious nut in, you have to let them all in.   But nooooo. I'm a horrible godless heathen and I just don't understand. The decline in our culture is because we don't have prayer in skools.   I hope you're satisfied. Now we have the After School Satanists. That's so much better!   What are you doing for mandatory Ramadan? How about Hanukkah? How about Khordad Sal (Zoroaster's birth anniversary)?   You fundamen

Am I That Straight?

You know who is my first crush was!? A Girl. Yes, a girl. Its about almost ten years back, my brother, brother-in-law and I went for place of devotional aspect.   We travelled through a train and after some time I saw her. She is beautiful and a full traditional girl. It was just some peeks at each other and some smiles at first. But after some time we just forgot all the people around and just looking at each other. Hahaha, I almost wanted to propose her. But we arrived at our destination and

Poetry Prompt 7 - 2 Responses

On the way to read a partiular poem here on GA, I got side-tracked and read another instead. It was a piece of blank verse and as I read it, I thought I'd like to give it a go. As a rank amateur writer of verses, it was a bit presumptious, perhaps, for me to think that - I have given it my best go but I realise that may not be good enough ... All comments are welcomed. As ever, I thank Parker Owens for his patient assistance. However, all deficiencies are mine, and nobody else's.       This

Update: My Health And Writing Status

Hello everyone,   Sorry the reviews have been a bit slow in coming, and sorry to anyone who is still waiting on a response from me. There have been a few developments in my life recently which have impacted these things, and I'm going to lay them out as quickly as possible (because writing hurts). Health Issues:   My years of typing and playing video games have caught up to me at last. I have developed carpal tunnel in both wrists, though it is worse in my right hand. Although I acquired Dra

Incomplete Love

For Timmy, Emi and Mr. Benus:   Incomplete Love   All relationships are a work in progress, A building to be finished, an infinite mirror Beneath a starry sky. A battle between belief and reality, A compromise between expectation and evolution Between engagement and understanding. Experience vs. Emotion Broken crumbling pieces of self mixing Into happiness and grief and regrets Creating the mortar of us. Bricks and days And labours of indecisive Apollos' creating The walls of Troy only to be

Lucky 13

Today I've been clean & sober 13 years.   It's already been a great day.   My older brother had a scary serious medical incident this week and called me this morning to tell me he's OK.   I do hope that 13 continues to be lucky.

Skin Cancer

This morning I had a squamous cell carcinoma removed from my left ear by Mohs surgery. Since I'm allergic to all analgesics other than aspirin and the clinic I went to didn't prescribe a pain killer, I'm taking my aspirin and living with the pain. But, as the discharge paper said, it will get better day by day.   The next chapter of WWW is progressing. We may actually be coming to a finalization of the story.   319 is approaching an on hold status unless I can figure a way to get chapter 6 t

I Think I'm Human

Okay. People who know me, will usually say I'm a pretty nice guy.   At work, where I am in a customer service team-lead role, I'm a pretty nice guy. I put my customer's first, I listen well. I try to make things right for them while following the boundries set out by my employer.   I also cover our Click-to-Chat service. I'm sure people think their anonymity gives them right to talk to us like sub-humans, but mostly I ignore that. Usually. Most of the time.   However today, when a woman sa

Not Posting In Pit Until Everything Is Over, Focus Priorities

I know, why am I giving up the ability to comment on an exciting period of time filled with every sort of trick and gaffe imaginable, quite frankly, I just feel like people perceives I am only in it for politics and debates. I am opinionated, I am strong willed, and I am aggressive in what I see as necessary and should be done, but that's who I am.   I've grown up on GA, through multiple boyfriends and multiple attempts to write new stories. I've seen many peers rise and disappear into the set

And I Don't Do Lonely Well

The husband leaves at 10am tomorrow morning. I have plans, I have friends coming to stay, I have my family and his family all telling me to come over whenever. I think they think it'll all be fine. I'll be busy, between the Goblin and the dog, we've a lot on. And I have work.   But I see the sunsets and the long nights ahead, and that's where being alone scares me a little bit. We haven't spent more than 5 nights alone in a decade, and he's going to be gone for three weeks. I'm not going prete

In Response

For Ben & Timmy:   Good poems frolic in the sun. They bring Arctic Lights to the barren tundra. They also manage to inundate the soils of Egypt and blow khamsins over the salt flats of Kutch in the very same day.   Good poems deserve a kiss and a wink.   23/09/2016 ©asamvav111
