    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

Trials and Tribulations

Dear Readers of Trials and Tribulations,   All of you that have left comments following each chapter and those of you that have been reading the story without commenting have made a profound impact on my life in more ways that you could ever guess. I know there's a lot I would have to learn before I could ever consider myself truly an author. I must say that each comment left has given me the confidence to continue.   However, something I must tell you concerning the ability to post a chapte

It's You I Like

It's a wonderful song by Mr. Rogers. Yes, it's a kid's song, but the meaning of it hits me harder as an adult. Don't know how people here remember this remarkable person. If you're too young to remember him, his lessons of life transcend time, so I want to pass his message on.   Please click to see that heart-warming clip on top right corner and sing along if you want.   It's You I Like

Climb Every Mountain

So the London 2012 great Summer of Sport came to a close this evening as the Paralympics came to an end at the Olympic Village.   It has been a fantastic display of achievement on many fronts. Not only did we witness man going faster, further, higher, we learnt that the British are not as bad as we imagined, that a warm, friendly environment is as much a part of London as it is in Sydney, Beijing or Athens.   We saw 70,000 people emerge from the shadows and step up to the mark to become Game

A really bad day :(

This is the part of being the man behind the numbers that I hate.   Let's start at the beginning, I had already projected a $250,000 deficit in our businesses budget, which I could fix by reducing the contract labor lines. Basically, like most businesses in the US, we have a rotating pool of contract labor from temp firms for maintenance. If we reduce the contracting and ask for more internal care and watchful of incidents, we could keep cost down without cutting jobs of full-time people in an

im sober you should be too

so i went to this partay the other day and there is this dude on the fringes of my friend circle who somehow got invited. in the past he had problem with alcohol, i wasn't really in on the story but i guess he was borderline alcoholic, vanished for a while i guess got sober. and he obviously wasn't drinking   well the WHOLE fucking time at this digger he kept forcing the "idea" of sobriety. for the sake of my friends i didn't call him out and make him seem like a douche, cause he was being a d

Oops it happened again

Life, no matter how much you might want it, can not be managed. Things sneak up and happen.   Dad has his capsulscopy next Wednesday. It is making him crazy and guess who the target is?   I have no internet until I can afford mifi. It might take a week or so but I will be back. In the meantime I am getting things done as I can. My greatest thanks to KC for picking up the slack I had to leave with with one of my authors by filling in and doing the beta reading. My thanks know no bounds. Also

Lessons in Love

They say that nature has much to teach us, and that the simplicity of the laws of nature give the complexities of life some kind of roadmap for understanding how things work. But then people say a lot of things, and not all of them make sense, or are not as easy to understand or work out as it would seem. I mean lets be honest there are some pretty complicated emotions and feelings associated with something like a relationship that nature hasn't got a clue about right?   Hmmmmm, lets consider

So, It's Been One Year You Say...

Huh. It's been one year now since I registered here on GA. Like so many of us, I too lurked around for a little while before decided to register for the forums on here. Also like so many of us, I too was drawn here by finding Q's Second Shot posted elsewhere, getting impatient, and coming over here to read the rest. (I've seen quite a few people mention this in chat, in case anyone doesn't believe me. )   It feels...I dunno...odd, that it's been one year exactly as of today. In one way, I can'

Family secrets

My sister is pregnant. It's that simple, but my parents won't tell me. I think they want to keep it a secret because she's still not out of the clear from a cancer scare. (She's about 7 weeks now)   Our friend from California confirmed to me that there is a bun in the oven, but I knew. Everyone in the damn house is just too cautious around me. The hints are all there. She's a smoker, all of a sudden she stopped. I offered her tequila, she refuses. They know that I know... just pretending that

Trials and Tribulations

We find Andy, Joey, and Roger heading to High Rock in chapter 17 and a continuation of that trip will be in Chapter 18, which is coming soon.   In these two chapters four big things occur. Two of them are clearly seen by all. Of the two not so noticeable, one is clearer than the other, but can you see all four?

Untitled Teen Wolf Fanfiction

Don't judge me. I just really like this show. Only part 1 of what feels like three parts, but may be only two. And I need to work on the main character's voice:   “I realize that I’m probably the last you want to talk to right now,” Allison said to Stiles. She’d arrived to Stiles room unannounced, unwelcomed, and unrepentant, but since that described most of Stiles’s visitors, he was willing to let that go. Her continued existence was another matter.   “You got that right,” he said, cutting

Adulthood Sucks!

For many years I was a happy, unencumbered homosexual, who had not much more to worry about than if my ass looked to big in my jeans or if I was losing my hair, or where that wrinkle came from. But just for shits and giggles I decided to have a child - well me and the hubby did. She's a wonderful, happy, delightful little girl who brings me endless amounts of joy just by smiling.   But today I don't want to be a dad, don't want to be happy, don't want to pretend everything is okay, and I hav

Let them know they Matter!

So it has been a tough couple of weeks for me which culminated in a bit of a disaster yesterday. Here is how it unfolds...   As a person I tend to be a pretty private person, but when I find I like someone I will open up pretty quickly, and hey I think we are all like that to a degree. You have to let the people you want to become close too, to see the real you. Sometimes slowly, but once in a while you do it a little faster than at other times.   Well, time and life has taught me that this

Life and other issues

Alright, so it has been a while since I posted anything and I figure I owe explanations to people so forgive me if I have been late doing it.   First up is my father. Since coming out of the hospital we have been going to doctor after doctor. He has a surgeon now for the aneurisms. The doctor, who is a specialist in dealing with them informed us that Dad won't be going for surgery on on them until sometime in the new year. Okay, so that major issue is off the table for the moment, but doesn't
