I Need Your Help With Something

Hello, everyone!   I'm preparing for a short story competition in a couple weeks, as well as a personal goal I'm setting for myself in February.   The short story competition follows a specific pattern, which I need to practice if I expect to do any good at it, and since the second and third stages of the competition happen in March and April, I intend to practice through all of February.   This year I will be doing something I'm calling "Flash Fiction February". I'm going to write a short

The G. M. Os., The End

Well, The G. M. Os. has finally come to an end. 26 chapters, a little over 179,000 words. Quite a project.   Now all that is waiting is the publishing. Chapter 8 went up today. Chapter 9 is out for proofreading.   Frankly, I’m very happy with the story. It was a good mental exercise and kept me sane for two months.   Yesterday had a bit of a letdown and almost had to call the suicide hotline. Haven’t had that feeling in over five years, but I know it’s always there. Good thing I’m going to

The G. M. Os., Thoughts

The G. M. Os. has come down to the last chapter. The cycle of the story has come around to a point close to the beginning as far as relationships go. All I have to do now is write it. No, there is no block. It’s just a matter of tidying up and giving any possible continuation of the story a jumping off point.   My dreams last night were very troubling. There were images from my childhood and family and friends. The scenes were very different, but they had a familiarity to them that was unsettl

New Story Is Up

Hey All,   I decided to start posting my newest story. Parker and Caz have been helping me with it for a month or more now, and I so greatly appreciate their help and input.   I'm actually a bit stuck on this story--at ch. 14--so I thought posting might get me motivated to write instead of reading all the time. I really feel I need to get it out of my head, but I just keep putting it off. I'm hoping it was maybe just the busy-ness of the holidays and now that they are over I can get back

Chapter 12 Of Cbdt- End Of Book 1

https://www.gayauthors.org/story/w-l/0sand1scbdt/14   I've done it, I have finished a novella. So Book 1 is now in "complete" status, this is my second novella and it is much more reflective of my writing concepts, ideals, and conflicts than my rushed attempt last time to rewrite a lost novel.   As for this chapter, it asks a lot of big questions about morality of lies versus the practical reality of truth in a free society that has mutually antagonistic elements. That is the heart of the ne

Dear Neighbor.....

I'm sure your child is precious to you. All parents think their child is precious. I know your child is excited about his Christmas presents and wants to show our son. Our son is excited about his as well, and wants to spend his Christmas vacation playing Xbox One with his dad. You know the one who works 12 hour shifts and only gets to spend a day with our boy every other week?   We understand your son loves your pets. We love ours too, and consider her part of the family. She protects us, lo

The Reading List

For some reason, I decided to make a list in Google Docs of everything I've read and enjoyed across three websites and into yaoi.   Thirty minutes later, I had a small list of about 42 yaoi and 15 erotic fiction (mostly series). Mind you, I forgot a ton of the yaoi and grouped some series under one title, or only included one or two of my favorite mangaka's works (plus there are some I'm not ready to fess up to reading >.>), and I've only been reading erotic fiction for three months.

Open Letter To A Grocery Chain

Dear Publix; I realize now that I made a mistake when I begged off of visiting family this year. I failed to account for the fact that no trip to Florida to see family also means no trip to Florida to see you. Trips to Florida are more work than vacation for those born and raised in the region, but time with you makes them all worthwhile. While I am more than content and fulfilled in the romance that took me away to Texas, I regret leaving you. I’ve tried other stores to fill the Publix-shape

Cbdt Chapter 11 (1 More Chapter Before Hiatus And End Of Book 1)

https://www.gayauthors.org/story/w-l/0sand1scbdt/13   Before I begin my weekly blurb, I just want to congratulate all the contestants of the Secret Santa story contest.   Now to start, escalation and counter-escalation is something I love exploring. If you live in a world where threats exists from extreme ideologies, why won't reactionary elements from your own side take action? Being LGBT doesn't mean that we're all saints.   Jesse Heron is determined, hot-tempered, and has nothing to los

The G. M. Os., Chapter 18

Chapter 18? Yes, Chapter 18. I was trying to come up with what I was going to write next in the next chapter in the Hercules III saga, but I just couldn’t come up with anything logical. There just wasn’t anywhere to go even though I had the outline to go by.   So, I thought about where I could go with The G. M. Os. And, then, yesterday it came to me and by five o’clock this afternoon I had completed Chapter 18. Plus, it ended with a cliff hanger, which is extremely rare for me, but seemed appr

Winter

When the idea for the CJ series began to take form in my mind, it was never meant to be a coming of age story about CJ. César was meant to be the main character. I wanted to explore how a father and son, both gay, would relate to each other, and to a circle of mostly gay friends.   Although the little bastard stole the limelight, and my heart along with it, the original intent is still very much at the center of the stories. A group of gay friends, unapologetic for their sexuality, interacting

I Think She Might Be Pure Evil...

Warning: Totally depressing post here. I'm actually okay, just needed to put this somewhere because if I didn't I'd scream. Merry Christmas Everyone!   **   My mother is officially pure evil. I know i've had my problems with her over the years, but this morning has really taken the cake. She's had a cough for a few weeks, but she's got friends round at the moment.   She's telling her how she was on an oxygen mask, went into hospital for a week, hasn't been able to move off the sofa and ha

Diner: The Musical

As a 30th birthday present to myself, I bought tickets to see the Delaware Theatre Company production of Diner, a new musical written by Sheryl Crow. It's based on a 1982 movie called Diner, which starred such young up-and-coming actors as Kevin Bacon, Tim Daly, Daniel Stern, Paul Reiser, Ellen Barkin, Steve Gutenberg, and Mickey O'Rourke. Taking place at the end of 1959, the movie/musical follows a group of friends, all in their early 20's, as they navigate through the pitfalls and concerns of

Of Things To Come...

When the Alliance Civil War broke out 2549, the giant TranStellar corporations located in the Corporate Sector seceded from the Alliance and formed the Consolidated Federation (commonly called the ConFed). The ConFed consisted of five huge TransStellar corporations: Nakajima, MilTech, Venture, предприятие (Enterprise) and Gradient plus hundreds of smaller subsidiaries located in the sector. Those five corporations alone accounted for almost thirty percent of the Alliance GNP. In the beginning th

The G. M. Os. Chapter 2

Chapter 2 - The Temple has been published. It's the first chapter of a new protagonist, Li, who is very much into meditation. I was also very much into meditation when I was studying esoteric religion. It was fun and gave me a peaceful attitude in life. Later, when I was very much into evangelical Christianity I went back to meditating on what I was reading. It helped.   Of course all of that was long ago, but the memories remain. So, I gave Li a little project. Later in the book, Li will have

Oops!

As luck would have it, I screwed up and tried to accept Microsoft’s offer of OneDrive. What a stupid thing that was. I couldn’t remember my password, and then I couldn’t remember the answers to all of the questions they asked to verify my identity. So they locked me out of my account and now I can’t send out any chapters of The G.M.Os. to get proofed. Plus, I had already sent one out one and was waiting for it to come back.   So, I’m stuck for the next while or so. With help from an Admin, I w

Star Wars Episode 7 Force Awakens (No Spoilers)

That was AWESOME!   Seriously, they pulled all the stops, we got to seeold favorites and new faces with great backstories and mysterious pasts. I was scared JJ Abrams couldn't handle this franchise, but I was wrong, he did it well and added some fun plot points. When Han Solo (Harrison Ford) came back on the Millennium Falcon, a round of applause came from everyone in the theater.   I think everyone appreciates George Lucas as the founder and creator of Star Wars Franchise, but his prequels

Cbdt Chapter 10 (2 More Chapters Then Hiatus Break)

https://www.gayauthors.org/story/w-l/0sand1scbdt/12   The plot thickens; the relationship between Hunter and Kevin is complicated to say the least. There is definitely romantic and sexual tension, but losing a lover is not something you can get away from easily, nor is a Nervous breakdown really a great start of a romance. I am being realistic with the two of them, if they do form a lasting bond eventually, it will have to be done through a long drawn out process of soul searching.   As for

If you want resend me your address, I will be glad to send it.   2 - had some health issues I am dealing with.

Miracle On 34Th Street 1947 (Non-Lgbt Movie Review)

Why do I consider this movie to be one of the best Christmas movies ever made?   Simple, in a society that has become so cynical and hopeless, it is a refreshing reminder that the world can surprise you. Faith is something this movie transfers in a non-religious way to conceptual reality. If a man says, he's Santa Claus, we would likely say he's insane. We're a society in doubt and denial against faith in a positive aspect of the world and mankind's capability to be better than what we are tod
