Wry Ramblings From A Hot Wing

I didn't follow the show, but I watched the occasional episode if it was on and I had nothing better to do. I don't watch revivals of old shows, they almost always end up being disappointing. I'd need to see people praise a revival first to break that rule.

Now that sounds worth it. New shows that remind us of old ones typically don't have the same issues as revivals. And ER was a great show, so I'd still watch it if it's half as good. Plus Wikipedia says a few people from ER are also working on The Pitt.

Yeah, the main character is Noah Wylie.

He was awesome in Falling Skies!

ER and House are the only medical dramas I've watched. ER is a rare case of a show that managed to remain good after everyone who was a main character in season 1 progressively left. But, if I remember correctly, there were about 5 actors with smaller roles who appeared in every season, all of them playing nurses or paramedics.

I guess the British show Doctor Who is an extreme case of replacing all the actors multiple times and lasting for decades. But that's different, the Doctor regenerating means one character remains, although played by a different actor and with a limited amount of personality changes.

I think I watched one episode of ER, but the bobble head Cloony turned me off. He is such an overrated boob. The only good movie he ever starred in was that vampire movie after he left ER.

I believe that 'crotch' and 'butt crack' are acceptable alternatives for Google's purposes.  I also think they are GA approved words, at least for the audience you've acquired (Oh, wait. I'm sure you cannot use those words).

You may include the words: Foot; and Feet! If you're inclined to go there.

Is it though? Is it actually and factually more classy? Inquiring minds want to know!

So yesterday was my twentieth year at Gay Authors. I kind of feel like I've accomplished something important.

Happy GA anniversary. I didn't even know this website existed 1 year ago. I created my profile in late September, but I think I was reading stuff here since almost a couple months before that.

I discovered Nifty a bunch of years ago, but there's a lot of stories there with barebones plots that exist as an excuse to write sex scenes, which makes it harder to find the good ones. This is one of the reasons I wish I had found GA a lot earlier.

Nifty was my first home for my stories. And back then, I wrote under a different name, and no I won't tell anyone that name. Those stories are better left unknown and forgotten. 

My last story was way back in 2002. And no it wasn't a stroke story. I didn't start writing those types of stories until last year.  I think I did this all wrong. .

So now, more than ever, I want to share the alternative ending to Frosted Hearts. I am happy I choose the ending I did, and next week, I'll find out if I gave the right one. 

But over the last week as I did some more re-writes, I really liked the work I did for that ending. Plus I took the story from PineCrest to San Jose Harbor in California. I also loved the prologue to Frosted Hearts. 

Or I might take those cut elements and craft a new story, three-quarters of it would already be written. 

Wow, life is too busy right now for me to take on new projects.

You could hold on to those elements to write something with them, but, instead of doing it right away, waiting until there's less stuff you're already writing.

That would be the smartest thing to do for sure. We'll see just how smart I really am.

So my little one off Christmas has dominated my writing life since December 1st. I never would have thought it would have grown so big and silly. But those are the facts and I have to face that I have problems getting distracted by shiny new stories instead of working on ones I've already started. 

Writing and Editing two stories is too difficult so I have to make a decision. From now on, I am only going to be working with one story at a time. And I won't post anything until the story is complete and I am satisfied with the end result. 

I already find myself, late at night, going over Frosted Hearts and re-writing things as I think the story is missing so many elements that I would have added as I progressed further into the story. Storybeats I could have stretched out and forced growth were half finished because I didn't get the full idea until chapter 17. 

Entire plotlines, such as Bethany was cut for time so I could finish on Christmas day. Now, I should have just listened to myself and fleshed out the story and not worry about a deadline I gave myself. An impossible task, a full novel in thirty days, I must have been doing crack again. 

And knowing me, I will go back and re-write Frosted Hearts at some point in the future. I might just edit each chapter as I get finished and new readers won't know it has changed and old readers won't know because they already read it.  

Speaking of that, I just realized I never included a prologue in Frosted Hearts, so I could include my original prologue and not mess up the story chapters. But if I did that, the prologue would be extremely long, as my original was six chapters. 

You see what happens during time changes, I get up too early and have too much time to think to complicate my life further.

So an old boyfriend is coming into town for his birthday this weekend. Not my old boyfriend, a really good friend's ex-boyfriend.  

They've been separated for almost three years. The ex-boyfriend, I'll call Adrian, grew too old for my friend, so he broke it off to get someone younger. *I don't judge, it's not my life*

They were together for five years, and during that time, Adrian and I got along really well. Probably because we both acted his age. . 

But once they broke up, Adrian moved to LA and we lost contact. 

Until...

Three weeks ago, Adrian reached out on Messenger to inform me he's coming to San Francisco to celebrate his birthday. Since my friend and Adrian maintained their friendship, we all made plans to hang out over the weekend. Plus, everyone is coming to my restaurant to have dinner. 

So for three weeks, we messaged a lot back and forth finalizing plans, and one night, it was rather late, I had been playing video games and drinking whiskey, when he responded to my message. Because I was up, I answered him immediately. 

This led to a full-blown conversation that had nothing to do with the plans for the birthday celebrations. He told me about the guys who had plowed him that night. He was getting back from a three-way where he was in a sling for an hour, doing drugs and getting sexed. 

Again, not my thing anymore, but I don't judge what he does with his life.

Over the course of this conversation, he suddenly said he wished I had been one of the guys. Which led him to admit that he had always had a thing for me and had tried to get his ex, my friend, to convince me to have a three-way with them. 

My friend, who knows me, knew that would never happen because I was married. Though to be truthful, Adrian wasn't the one who turned me off, my friend, he is so not my type. So even if I had been single, I would have said no.

I was pretty drunk, and I should have told him that was inappropriate. But I started making jokes about his comments. It wasn't until the next morning, when I read back what he said, that I realized in our exchange, I never said for him to stop or that I wasn't interested. 

The next morning, I also discovered that after I had gone to bed, he had decided to send me several photos of himself. I immediately tell my husband and show him the exchange. The husband was mad that I hadn't put a hard foot down, but he was angrier that this guy was hitting on me. 

I called my friend and told him we were canceling the plans and wouldn't be able to hang out with everyone this weekend. After he pushed for a reason, we had made several plans and possibly a few deposits. I told him I didn't want them back and explained the reason. 

Unbeknownst to me, my friend was hoping this was the weekend they would rekindle their relationship and felt that I had egged Adrian on by making jokes and going along with it. This got our other friends involved, and now we are split down the middle. 

Half agree with me, and the other half agree with my friend.  Plus, most of the plans are now cancelled, and it's a big ole mess with a lot of hurt feelings on both sides.

I'm not asking for advice. I know I did the right thing. But I would like to caution others. Flirting isn't a harmless pastime.

I didn't go into that message chain to lead him on. But in an awkward situation, when I should have said right away that I didn't appreciate that and for him to stop, I made a joke, which gave him the illusion I was at least entertaining the idea. 

And the ex's of friends, late at night, will send you a pic of their peen and back there place in the hopes that on his birthday, you'd give him the old college try while your husband is at the table having his dairy-free dessert.

As a person who jokes when feeling awkward and uncomfortable,  I probably would have done the same.   

Also some guys who wants to send pics of his naughty bits will send pics of their naughty bits, regardless of what was said.

Very true. Which is what my husband said, Adrian was going to do that because he doesn't understand boundaries, because he doesn't have any. 

And knowing that the husband will read this, I must say, the boy gots nothing on the husband.

Quick Update! I am 330,000 words into a story that I can never post online. Nearly 800 pages and its a complete waste of time. 

The idea of a script doctor has always intrigued me. Princess Leia was a famed script doctor. One or two or even five people would write a script, and the producers would send it to Princess Leia, who would punch up the dialogue, tighten the drama, and ensure character development. She was really good at taking someone else's words and giving it a glossy sheen. 

There is a book series, The Pelber Cycle by Paul O. Williams, circa late seventies to mid-nineties? about a post-apocalyptic world centered around the Mississippi of old. I think that's where it is anyway. 

I want to do that. I want to be a script doctor and give that series a sheen with a gay twist. It already has all the makings; women are in control of the Pelber people because the men were violent and destroyed the old world. The series is ripe for some good old-fashioned gay sex.

I could do it, I guess, under the guise of fan fiction, right? It would be changed enough to almost be a new story. 

I don't need any new projects!

You could do a similar concept if you don't want to do straight (haha) fan fiction.  I'm still reeling from the 330K word count.

Meanwhile, I'm sitting here juggling 3 stories at once because I'm caffeinated (that and I try not to write NSFW things while at work, and 75% of everything I write is NSFW lmfao).
