Weekly Wrap Up (Jul. 12 - Jul. 18)

We had an interesting discussion last week with the Weekly Wrap Up. I see the weather has broke in some places and yet others is getting worse 😮  Up here in Canada, it is so hot and dry we are burning up. Over 1000 wildfires going on right now   I wouldn't go camping now unless it was on a river or lake shore.  So back to one of the parts of the camping theme, I mentioned about swimming. So if you never went camping, or you like 5 star service in a hotel or you camped on a lake or you

Summer Resolutions, Anyone?

This year I’m going to clear out the shed. I’ll try this long hike someone recommended. I won’t sleep in every day.  I’ll eat healthy, all these yummy vegetables and fruit that are available now. I will finish the story that has been on hold for so long. Summer break starts on Monday, and I have a very long list. What about you? Maybe try to write a prompt story?   PT Prompt #352   Dale bought an ice cream maker, but vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry are just about that

Secret Author Event-Forbidden Knowledge Due!

Now, there has been some.... misinformation out there. 15th... 16th... what was the true date? Was someone trying to keep your favorite author from playing this game or you from knowing all the juicy details of the forbidden truths hidden in this year's entries by changing it up from blog post to blog post?  I will admit nothing! Neither will the team! But since there MAY have been some confusion out there, I will accept late stories on the 16th if they come in while I *coughs* the Fo

Write Toward the Next Wave

I asked AI to research genre trends in popular reading, as well as age demographics and general male preferences, to recommend ways to write that capture more of the current zeitgeist without forgetting our current audience.  The AI is familiar with genre trends on Gay Authors as well as our sites declared genre preferences and age. So the advice is geared towards appealing to existing audience and new audience as a way to attract interest. As always, you can write what you want. But if you

Weekly Wrap Up (Jul. 5 - Jul. 11)

I'm going out on a limb here and guess that most of you are in the northern hemisphere, so I apologize to our southerners. Yet this discussion is for all of you! I haven't yet gone camping this year, but my intentions are going to be gone for a few weekends here and there.  I am a roughing ii as a camper in the sense that I pitch a tent, set up a canopy over the picnic table, have a propane stove, have no running water, electricity or sewer. Yes, the local outhouse is my plumbing  You
