Ain't going to happen.

Thanks for your novel.

Prone

Cold

I have earned.. tenosynovitis which is an inflamed tendon sheath rather than the tendon itself. I'm not sure if the treatment will be the same but I will find out next Tuesday. I also earned a few other unexpected things with big long Latin names that weren't on the radar.. boils down to some sort of cyst in the middle of my foot and a bunch of arthritis. Aging... yay... not. I have little faith that this will be healing any time soon. Hope everyone has a good night!

I help to operate and maintain another gay story website. I've written a couple of what I now consider 'fluff' pieces. I've even ghostwritten a few scenes for other authors in their stories (almost always combat action scenes). I've often asked how they develop the plot, etc. Contrary to what some of the professional writers will tell us, most often the answer I get is that the characters drive the story. The characters tell the author what to write. Many of the better writers here at GA all say the same thing. If Peter's story seems to be realistic and true to life, it is because of the voices in my head tell me what to write.

Then stop lying in your comments!

Hopefully, no more in the near future. Three in a year is enough.

Hopefully not a bad reputation. Money is preferred.

That looks it would perform the task painfully and efficiently @drsawzall. Just what De Douchebag "ordered".

I'm surprised you haven't made more mistakes (who is talking to whom) than what I've caught! I can't imagine the size of your character sheet(s).

Well this chapter was so powerful and well written just perfect dialogue and description thanks for sharing this story!

I was ten in 1963, and my older sister graduated high school in 63 like Phil, but she was a freshman in college, but hundreds of miles away. As I was growing up, I was amazed by the stories my parents and grandparents shared about their lives, and the history they had witnessed first hand. My grandparents grew up from an Amish back grown and moved to our area (about 70 miles away) living on a train taking their farm animals with them. They said they lived in the train car for 3 days. They had bought a farm house but it had to be moved to their land about 3/4 of a mile down the dirt road. They had rigged the house to be moved rolling on logs, moved by mules and a pulley system,and lived in the house as it was pulled to its current location. It took many weeks. Talk about culture shock and history. No electricity, indoor plumbing, just a hard life, yet lived to see man walk on the moon and beyond. Sorry for rambling, but I too see reflections in the windows that @Ronyx has well crafted for us and hope everyone can also. It is a bit of a shock when our lives become history and the world moves on for future generations.

Stop making me redact your comments!

Nothing but the Drewth.

I know. Thanks, Gorgeous!

Today i earned ... 10 days of antibotics, followed next week by a tooth extraction .. yee haw.. again. Getting tiresome...considering i do look after the damn things. Anyway.. that's my news.

Bucket day

Drew don't be like that!

You're so rude! I'm the most peaceful person I know.

Another wonderful chapter @Ronyx allowing us to look in through the window that Phil looks out of, and catch glimpses of his current and former life. I am saddened 💔 to hear about Stanley's fight and subsequent flight from his home, now turned into a toxic homophobic (father) environment. His distract mom, Phil's nurse Mrs. Sullivan. For Stanley to be outed through discovery, is enough to turn his thoughts to killing himself, but at 15 he doesn't understand the enormity of doing that. Hopefully Colin's contacts at the police department can help find Stanley in time. 🙏 As for Colin and Jason hijacking Phil for a makeover and lunch, in the real world? Absolutely amazing! 💗Hopefully Phil's matchmaking works. Thank you for your comment about Comsie @Comicality. R.I.P. Gone for too soon at only 47 (a week before his 48th birthday). Definitely not forgotten.
