    September Signature Feature: Hidden Sunlight by Stellar

    By Cia

    Well, after a longer haitus than usual, we're back! This is a long, long story by an author many of us have enjoyed for years. Have you read this classic story? It's a go to favorite of mine when I'm looking for that apocalyptic style OMG WHAAAAT story, even though I know exactly what's going to happen, I still love it. Give it a try, especially if you love a LONG read!  Length: 175,313 Description: Facing a life-changing medical procedure, 14 year old Shay approaches it with the

*Note: for the purpose of this entry i will be using the term amateur writer inr regards to someone who is self-published or self posting. Not in reference to experience or skill level*   My interest in gay romance started in a way, I think, is similar to most straight women's: fanfiction. It all started with the Percy Jackson series. For those of you who are not familiar I'll give you a little background. This series has a totally bad ass character named Nico. He is sort of a minor character

Is It Over?

Let’s get this straight right from the beginning. I am suffering from a writer’s block. I’ve had these before and they’ve passed in time, but somehow I feel that this time it’s terminal. In fact, I don’t know the process of moving from Signature Author to Classic Author, but this very well maybe the time for such a transition.   I’ve tried to work on 319 and The GMOs, but there just doesn’t seem to be anything there.   So, I’ve done the only thing that a failed writer can do. I’ve turned to

Sneak Peek - The Good Doctor

The Good Doctor - Multi-Chapter, Romance, no supernatural elements, Maddox had a bad habit of looking for trouble, but one night in the ER and he finds something even more exciting then that. Can Maddox put his self destructive behavior aside to show the Good Dr. he's more than just a broken doll.   “What happened to him?” The doctor’s voice came out soft and breathless, and he wasn’t surprised. “Who did this?” The young boy lying in the hospital bed in front of him was unconscious; thick, d

Maxwell's Equations, Midterms And Spring Break: The Relationship Is Obvious

Holy crap.   I survived the most brutal midterms I've ever seen. I've seen a few that were only for the true masochist.   I was there for Doctor Gaddis's Great Calculus Massacre of 1983. Oh the humanity!   Sadly essay questions have not gone out of style- as much as they should. Those of us with the gift of blarney have an unfair advantage that lets us leverage a little knowledge and make ourselves sound like we know what we're talking about.     Describe the equations Maxwell's Equat

Politics And British Columbia, And Where I Fit In

In two months, my home province of British Columbia will be heading to the polls. I'm looking forward to the campaign, and hopefully in displacing the long-ruling BC Liberal government, which has had a continuous legislative majority since the 2001 elections that obliterated the BC New Democratic Party. Now, politics in British Columbia are different from the rest of Canada, so here are the important players.   BC Liberal Party - Their leader and the current Premier is Christy Clark, who becam

Mathematical Proof To....something

Weird blog entry, I was just trying to figure something in my head and a sequence of equations came to my mind.   1 x 2 +3 3 x 2 - 1   Both would equal 5 right.   So I thought, pretty cool coincidence, why not test it out on other sequential numbers:   2 x 3 +4 4 x 3 -2   Equal 10   3 x 4 + 5 5 x 4 - 3   Equals 17   4 x 5 +6 6 x 5 - 4   Equals 26   5 x 6 + 7 7 x 6 -5   Equals 37   6 x 7 + 8 8 x 7 -6   Equals 50   ....   It keeps working out   I know this is a math

Parenting And Gender

As a parent who struggles with gender identity (Neutral? Fluid? A-gender? Something else?) the hardest thing I have faced is figuring out how to raise my kid. He is a mini me, personality and attitude. In many ways he is what would be considered a 'regular little boy' but in a lot of ways he displays 'overly feminine' behaviors. I do my best to keep a neutral environment, but find have started over thinking things that is making my life, perhaps, more complicated then they need to be. (FYI he'

When I Get Bad News

I got some bad news today. It wasn’t anything terribly tragic, and I was kind of expecting it, anyway, so I shouldn’t have been surprised. But it was disappointing all the same.   Anytime I get bad news, I immediately go into self-doubt mode and systematically convince myself that I’m not worth my salt, I’m not good at anything, and who am I to think I deserve to have what I want. It’s always the same voice in my head, and it always says the same things. The voice has become so familiar over t

American Steel

American Steel began with a double purpose: replying to selected GA prompts and sharing some of my motorcycling experiences. The collection of loosely-connected vignettes allowed for each chapter to stand on its own while still telling a wider ranging story.   The first six chapters were easy to write. I have the next six outlined and number seven partially written. However, I’m uncertain as to when those will be posted. I’ve tried juggling several stories at the same time before and I wasn’t

Sneak Peak - Satan's Little Buddy

So (about) once a week I'm going to be posting sneak peaks to some of my upcoming projects. If something catches your eye let me know and maybe it will get published sooner   So this story is based on a prompt from Pinterest about a little boy making a deal with the devil, forcing the demon to be his friend. And Satan just rolls with it until he realizes at the time of their death he genuinely likes him. Since he can’t renege on the contract he takes them to hell and puts them in a high posit

Jon Stewart, Trump, And The Media

Tonight, I watched Trump’s address to Congress. Yes, you heard right: I sat my little, lithe young ass in a seat a watched the most powerful man in the world address the whole of his government. Amazing, an engaged teenager? What’s the world coming to?   Well, hopefully it is coming to a more informed populous. But that is beyond the point; it is what came after his address that I really want to...well, address.   There was an interesting article from the Atlantic that I had found when I wa

Attention To Detail, Or Loosing The Human Touch

Somewhat ironic that this may contain errors caused by only having my left hand to type...   my dad dad had died 3 years before I got engaged, so I wanted to keep my name. I also have some now obsolete software manuals authored in my maiden name. Our compromise was to combine, ex Williams-Smith. First issue is that my driver's liscense couldn't have 14 characters. The hyphen was deleted, and using the example, WilliamsSmith.   I have to bring photo I'd to all doctors appointments. So the off

Sorry To Hurt You

I'm not one to talk about myself. I'm a listener, not a talker. But here it is.   This weekend I was talking with my mom (well she was talking and I was listening) and she said that during the week she had an "argument" with my dad translate by she asked something, he answered, she didn't like the answer. So she asked my opinion. I knew my answer would hurt her, that she wouldn't like it but she insisted and I didn't feel like "stabling" my dad in the back (this sound dramatic but I don't know

Phased Array Technology

It sounds really scary but it really isn't. Actually- it is a natural evolution in the technology.   Once upon a time there was RADAR and it was good. It was very, very good and gave the ALlies a major advantage in the second world war. The technology was proven and all the world powers wanted to use it for civilian and military purposes.   It works like this:     Every RADAR dish is a dual mode device: it sends out a signal and it listens for its return.

Supernatural Morals

I open this up for discussion or you can just read my opinion and ponder. Maybe keep in mind while you're reading my stories.   Moral dilemmas are a great source of drama and tension in a story. And having your readers question their own morals and try to judge the situations your characters are facing and their reactions is a great way to pull them into the story. Often our characters or plot don't align with our own ethics/ morals as the author, but we have to do our best to stay true to t

Greetings And Salutations

Hey, I'm LillyLee and thanks for checking in with me! I don't have a lot to say and I'm horrible with deadlines and updates but hopefully this will give me some practice and keep me on schedule.

Tell Me What You Hate

I've recently received some comments on my writing that I loved. And no, they weren't about how great my writing was, they were about things the reader didn't like.   Don't get me wrong. I love getting positive comments and knowing that people enjoy my writing. But I found that I liked the constructive feedback a lot, too. They were written respectfully and politely, explaining why the reader didn't like a particular character or why they disagreed with some aspect of the story. All very legi

Upon My Way To The Hunting Grounds

Upon my way to the hunting Grounds, Encounter I a mirror; To me I think, how so profound!— To me myself is nearer.   Confused I am, to see this face, Yet older, wise, and grey; The mirror forces, case by case, For one to see life's pay.   The pay is good, (most likely not) Beware, for danger abounds! In its clutches you shan't be caught— But wriggle free, and it astound.   The hunting ground is nearer now, And to it you shall heave— Please, I beg, to it not bow— For it shall be bereaved.

Accident Part 2 Omg

So I tried to call my primary care physician for the name of orthopedist. The number is disconnected. Maybe I have the wrong number saved, so I do a google search. In Nov. 2016, 8 area doctors were arrested for a "pill mill", and prescribing fatal doses of hydrocodone. Mine was one of them.   So I have to find a new primary care doctor as well as an orthopedist.   Btw, for those that might remember, I was upset hearing my doctor ordering ammunition, same guy.
