    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

If I am a pest please let me know ...

Okay, I haven't had time to do things like I would like to. Been more of respond to problems then have time to relax and do what you want. My bright spot has been mail, or it was until today.   I am one of those people who enjoys getting mail. A postcard, card, or note can do wonders for me. Just knowing someone took the time to think of me makes me smile. However today I got an email asking me not to send so many postcards and cards. Seems I am a disruption instead of making them happy.   B

Sagging Saggers

So it is a special day apparently. I wish someone had told my dentist that! The side of my face feels like it's had a punch Mike Tyson would be proud of! I guess it is my own fault for not asking for a different date, but I'd rather get it bloody done and dusted to be honest.   I am pretty lucky in that we have a really cool dentist in the next village, and they fuss over their patients and really are rather nice, so it makes the whole experience rather nice. For this reason they are a really

A whinge and a whine

So I have just finished working my seventh straight day, and it's gonna carry on for another three weeks. That means I'll have worked twenty-eight straight days by the time this is done (or 252 hours, or 15120 minutes, damn this just sounds worse and worse)!   At work we are setting up a new database for our cancer treatments and diagnoses, which will form part of a much larger new national dataset. We knew this design project was going to be happening over these four weeks (have done since

I started it and began my introductions into the story

Okay, I have started it and began my introductions into the characters.   http://www.gayauthors.org/forums/story/w-l/thebigsqueeze   There are three perspectives in this story with 2008 Financial crisis as its moving plot point. I am creating a modern gay business fiction story with technical details embedded in the story and descriptions on how modern finance actually works.   My three characters present three views from which forms the greatest crisis of our recent history:   Mike- the

Alright, I am going to Reinvent myself and my writing

I am going to try to reinvent myself and my stories.   I really do write too cerebral for my own good or readers. I need to create a story with characters people can easily understand, plots that are fact filled but not going to be too rich with connections, and a concept that people get right away.   I love economics and business issues, but I don't use it as the basis of my writing. I don't know why, since I've read freakonomics several times and know it can be fun.   I mean I write stor

LOL or ROFL?

We have always been rather blessed as a family, as comedy for our entertainment through the years has kind of always been provided by my mother. Mom is a wonderful woman, but takes fright really easily and is so gullible bless her. I have some pure classic memories through the years of funny instances and events that provided much mirth for me as a kid and us as a family.   It is always good to get around the table and recount these memories or tease mom over the various mishaps through the ye

I just found this movie again

I saw this movies years ago and thought it was funny back then, now I am still laughing, but for other reasons:   My fellow Americans 1996   http://youtu.be/uYgaEQXYtG0   My favorite line in the movie is in this particular part during a Gay Pride Parade:   A Gay guy in Dorothy Drag shocked to see the former Democratic ex-President: "Oh My God, Are you coming out?"   The ex-Democratic President: "No, I've always supported gay rights...I'm not coming out...he is" pointing to the Republic

world music

as much as love contemporary shit, i love ancient shit too.   this is huun-huur tur, they're from Tuva, which is apart of the Russian Federation and boarders Mongolia. the thing is they can throat sing, the throat singing is achieved by layering drones, usually you can hear a distinct "whistle" sound which they can produce if they're very experienced. you can understand it if you watch it. this stuff is cool to me because this kind of stuff shaped contemporary shit we hear now regardless of ho

authors: Please Don't do this to your characters

The film is called the Mudge Boy (http://en.wikipedia....i/The_Mudge_Boy).   It's a highly rated G&L film. It's all very literary and boring and filled with stereotypical characters that you will instantly recognize: the hapless gay youth, the father that doesn't understand, the bullies, the unrequited love... It's the sort of film the critics love.   I hate it! Oh my God is it ever a stinker. Why do you ask? The writing.   This 4 star piece of crap takes all the negative stereotypes a

Liberals and Conservatives don't understand business

I think there's a piece of us in each other, liberal and conservative, which is what makes us fight so hard against the other.   As an accountant by education and trade, I have to be very stern and tight fisted with my firm's money and spending. I won't give you an extra penny that you do not deserve, because one penny taken away from one person, means some one else has to pay for it. That's how I have to operate or else the vultures will come circling. When I first started my job, I was prett

Quality Time?

Last night my son and I spent a few hours getting some good ol' quality time.   I was drinking straight up doubles of Bowmare, which kept me behind the eight ball for most of the night.   We started at our favorite Mexican-American restaurant having a nice meal of red meat. Mine was Tacos al Carbon, my son chose his favorite, Carne Asada. My stomach is getting used to that good ol' feeling fulness and I ate half of what was given to me. Also, it was there when the conversation began.   My

Writing Delays

First off, i want to apologize to everyone who is reading Forging Trust. I never planned to have this long of a delay between postings and it's driving me nuts. I have some of Chapter 9 written (part of it is handwritten at this point) but things have been so hectic lately. Also, there's something off on the current chapter. I thought maybe it was just me, but I sent it to Cia to look at it and she agrees that there's something in it that needs fixed. I am working on it, I just didn't want

Insomnia

Insomnia   Insomnia haunts me and taunts me, Mind racing and chasing details of the day. Plans of tomorrow, no time to borrow, Always behind as time grinds, Past and future together in the breathless present.   I am so lost, I don't know the cost, Of the things that I've been or the things that I've seen, In the night they are burning bright, Restless azure darkness impaled, By the fires that rend the eternal night.   There is no peace when the wars never cease, even though its be

It's That Time...For the Season...To Be Ending...

So I found out today that my last day at the park for the season will probably be sometime around the last weekend of our three-week Fall Harvest fest. That is the weekend of October 12-13-14. As it turns out, I'm going to be on the other side of the state that exact weekend, so my last day might end up being the 11th. I'll find out when the schedule gets updated next week. (I get paid bi-weekly, and today was the last day of the current pay period, so the schedule for the period following this

Just so you know ...

Hi all.   i know I have few people who try to keep with me. I do apologize. I have been without the internet for about 2 weeks nows regularly. In order to get anything sent I have had to take my laptop to work. It isn't fun sitting in the car emailing work out and hoping it will all get back to you in time to meet a deadline. That is what happened with Amber Prince and I have to thank KC, Renee, and Cia who did what they could with the author being MIA.   Dad has had a busy week. On Monday h

A place called home

As GA celebrates its tenth anniversary, I thought I'd share some things. Point and blank, unedited, and unprovoked.   When I first came to GA, I came looking for a place to be able to cross-post my stories, to find a wider scope, a bigger audience. As I arrived, I found something very different, and yet very scary at the same time. I had seen GA in passing many times, never looking deeper than the front page; originally I thought it was a site I needed to pay to use and moved on. But once I go

Job Fail

I've got only about three months until my student loans are due, and I still haven't found a job. God, this sucks.   I just got a rejection email today for a tour guide job I interviewed for, so I'm feeling a bit crappy. I'm getting to the point where I'm just going to try and go for any job that I can get, instead of one related to my major.

Twinkie Defense and White Night Riot

(For best experience, please watch each video clip in order it is inserted before moving onto the segment that follows it)   It was September 4, 2012 when I saw him: George Moscone, or the likeness of him, in San Francisco Museum of Art (SFMOMA). The livid color attracted me, and his smile, as if he was alive and happy. I took a look of the inscription that puts him on the pedestal:   Harvey Milk Too Twinkies Danny Boy! Diane Feinstein Becomes Mayor   Without thinking much, I took
