NaNoWriMo

So, I have decided to do NaNo again this year. My last effort Death By Dreaming turned out pretty well so let's see with this one.   Thanks to Maria for forcing me to wait for two days before starting even though my head was bursting with ideas, so I started on November 1st like a good girl.   So. I have the whole thing planned out... as much as I ever do, although I doubt that I will be sticking to it; I never do.   The characters are pretty wild this time and there's a lot of action, So

One-fifth check in

so today is the 10k mark.... did I make it?   Yes. With a little to spare.   I now have somewhat of a plan, a few characters, a bad guy and best of all.... a plot with something that looks like an ending.

Trials and Tribulations

I just published the first chapter of my first story ever. It's a coming out, coming of age story about the trials and tribulations of Andy Collins and friends as he confronts his sexual orientation in a small mining town of Pine Hills nestled away in the Appalachian Mountains of Eastern Kentucky.   I would love for you to give it a read and let me know if you liked the chapter and would like for me to continue the story. I know I will make mistakes,but hopefully I will learn from them and not

Progress

Okay this is literally what I have as my check list this week.   1) Complete Chapter 29 of AH - Done. In fact it is one of the longer chapters. I'm nearly done with 30 now. Thank goodness.   2) Complete work on Seeon - We have successfully broken him up into chapters, expanded upon areas that were weak, and he is going for his last look over by the editor now that the beta and I have cleaned him up. Hopefully I will be posting chapter 1 later today. Remind me that prompts are supposed to be

And Off We NaNo!

Ok I'm still up so it's technically still November 1 for me. Deal with it.   I have no plot.   I have no plan.   I just finished roughly 1700 words.   It's going to be an interesting month.   Go! Go! NaNo!   p.s. I'm not going to be giving daily updates. Every 3-4 days should be sufficiant don't you think?

Prep and Execute

Okay, so it has been a busy month. Oh yeah today it just day one. LOL. Let me explain. First, Happy Birthday Mark. Now I screwed up and didn't get his gift out in time it seems so he didn't have it today. The joys of dealing with many different postal services. But that just begins it.   This month I have family birthdays - my sister-in-law, and my father. Various other friends, oh and any international gifts I plan to send for Christmas I was told by the post office to make sure were in the m

NaNoWriMo 2011

Are you doing it? Huh? Huh? Huh?   Isn't that so annoying? Yeah? I thought so.   Anyways, quick note on me: I'm good. Slightly sick but good all things considered. I don't have any cable because the cable company can't get off their fat arses and fix it, which I'm okay with at the moment. I'm somewhere with fast net. I'm good.   As for me, I'm doing fanfiction this year. A story that has been biting my own arse to get me to write it. Yeah. It's called Like a Bullet, is a Bleach AU, comes

Life's curves

Life's curves   I don't know, I get so confused sometimes. I listen to people talk, read stories (fiction, i know) and like all stories there's usually a grain of truth in them. They do came from someone's experiences. Like it's been said, there's nothing new under the sun.   Years ago I admitted to a friend that being gay scared me not because of what other people thought, since I had been through so much already by the age of 27 to worry with opinions not my own. It scared me because I nev

Pandora

Pandora     After clearing security and going down two different elevators, I guessed that I was at least 500 meters underground. The corridor had heavy steel blast doors with key card locks and bio-hazard signs every 50 meters. The deeper into the facility that we went, the higher the biohazard protection level of the labs that lined the corridors.   I asked the guard what the USAMARID needed from the Dept. of Homeland Security and he told me that answer was well above his pay grade.   W

The Countdown is On

Tomorrow is Halloween. I'm closing, or to be more accurate I am working a midnight release of another crappy video game at my damn store on Halloween. i don't know if my car will be egged, people will be in costume or what. All I do know is i can't get dressed up. I'll just be my boring old self. Unfortunately with the hours I had this weekend I didn't even make a holiday party at all. I made it home late tonight and missed the start of my show, Once Upon a Time.   Anyway, the countdown is al

Boner-deflating or not?

I am working on a story with a scene where the main character is having his first bit of man sex after being in a long term relationship with a woman. The woman is now deceased and has been for two years. He is testing the waters so to speak about his own sexuality agian, prior to his marriage he had played both sides of the fence.   During the man-sex the new fling preforms a sexual act that his wife would never do. He mentally makes that connection.   The problem comes in that one of m

I'm Dreaming of a White Halloween?

Okay, so here we are just two days away from Halloween. I mean you should walking outside, enjoying the falling leaves, the colors still changing, and air beginning to a sharp nip to it.   Mother Nature however, has other plans. Today we are getting a snow storm. Let me correct that, there is a snow storm five miles north of me, I'm getting rain and hail.   I have friends who still live up in Connecticut. They have been without power, buried under snow, no heat, and all the joys you might ex

Update on the Weight.

Okay so I don't care who you are what you are trying to accomplish but sometimes things go astray. I'm human. I do things I know I shouldn't. For the last two weeks at Weight Watchers I gained. It wasn't huge, only .6 lbs a week, but after two weeks that was 1.2 pounds I had put back on. The reason, I simply wasn't careful.   So moving on to this week. I've been working more, running like an idiot all week, and oh yeah no sleep. So I wasn't exactly expecting to see anything on the scale this w

You have the Power

Life can sometimes seem like you are just barely holding on to a thin weak string. Having a hard enough time that you are just getting through life one day at a time, and can't see a reason why to plan your life any further than one day at a time. But the truth is, nothing lasts forever, including bad times.   I have had my share of things gone wrong. At 15, I realized I was more interested in guys and their bodies than girls. This lead me to getting caught sneaking a peek at a high school spo

Damn Prompts

Yes, you read that right, I said Damn Prompts and I meant it. The problem is I create the suckers now. I felt I should use some ideas for stories I had but just hadn't had time to get to. Smart idea, right? Wrong.   There is a reason some of these things have launched much longer stories than just the small page to two pages stories they should. My real complaint is that I read Cia's take on one of my prompts and felt inspired to go ahead and write my own take on it. I loved her interplay wit

Lazy.

No matter what you say, no matter what you do, you're never going to stop me. You know why? Because I'm going to stop myself. You know why? Because I'm lazy... The End.

Depression: A 21 year odyssey

It really just sucks the life out of you. To be completely honest, Ive been finding it harder and harder to care about things - and this entry will be a bit scattered and Im sorry for that, but I just had to get my thoughts down.   I was pretty close to voluntarily committing myself because of all the issues in my head, but I got over it. But now its back.   Ya know that saying, time heals all wounds, or whatever? Well thats bullshit with depression. It doesnt get easier to deal with, it jus

NaNoWriMo

It's nearly November. For most people in the USA that means sacrifice the birds! It is the beginning of the annual family overdose, crowded malls, endless bombardment of "buy me or feel guilty for disappointing your loved ones" advertising, too much turkey, fattening a goose, and other strange but once a year customs that you put up just for the sake of traditon and (sometimes questionably) loved ones.   For me, November also means a total break from sanity -- and a chance to overdose on caffi

Waiting and Wondering

First the waiting. I am as bad as anyone else when it comes to stories. I hate waiting. I have had to do it often enough. Stu has a wonderful story, Seeing Double, that had a few months between chapters. I know because I have been waiting for the end like everyone else. I presently am keeping everyone waiting because I am still trying to get things back from my editor and beta for Accidents Happen. I had hoped it would be done by chapter 30 but realize it will now drag on for one more chapter.

Secrets of the Past Revealed Repost

As some of you may recall, several years ago, I posted an entry called "Secrets of the Past Revealed". That was back in 2008 or so, and there have been many new members since then who don't know the story, so I'm going to quote myself.

seeing him again. -

"I still love him. But I don't want to love him anymore. I don't want to hurt anymore. Please."   Funny how that was only months ago, when you left me, & Adele was my only savior.   I thought I'd moved on, but when I saw you today, I knew that my feelings never really went away. You were sitting there in your favourite grey school sweatpants, your headphones over your ears & your fingers curled over a coffee mug. Your foot was tapping along to a beat only you could hear, and
