oooooh....this thread's making my mouth water So bad for my hips and thighs, but sooo yummy for my tummy. I'm going to have to print out Sharon's recipe and try to make cookies tonight :pickaxe:

So I've been doing a lot of thinking, and I've come to the following conclusions.......Bodega Bay is almost finished. I'm not sure how many chapters it has left, but it's not more than 5. Ok, that's not one of the conclusions...I knew that already. The first conclusion is this......I'm devoting all of my energy to Staking My Claim once Bodega Bay is finished, then I'm going to start something new that's definitely going to be unlike anything you've ever read from me(btw, that's the other conclusion). I admit I'm a little nervous about the new project, but it's important to me as a writer that I at least try. I have a story in me that needs to be told, and I'm going to drive myself nuts thinking about it night after night after night if I don't get it all out. The thing is, there might not be any sex at all in this story. The other thing is, and this is the part that's making me nervous, the main character is going to be in his early 60's. I have absolutely no idea how to approach this yet, but I also had no idea how to approach Obligation To Myself, My Jump Off and Bodega Bay. The only thing I can think to do is have confidence in myself as a writer and work my hardest to pound out the best story I can. I feel like no matter what happens, I can only grow as an author and maybe I can pick up some new readers along the way. It won't be the feel good teenage drama like Staking My Claim and My Jump Off were, and it won't be loaded with lots of steamy sex and pot smoking, either. I don't want to give too much away, but I will say this.....it's going to have a solid plot and a realistic time line. I won't drag it out for a gazzilion chapters, but I won't be in a rush to finish it either. I guess what I'm hoping is that people will be willing to give it a chance once I release it. In other news, I have to admit that I'm completely shocked and humbled to be nominated for so many categories in this years GA Awards. One of the biggest honors for me is to be nominated in the same category as Dom Luka, dkstories and Little BuddhaTW. Those are my 3 favorite authors, and just to have my name in the mix with them is amazing. I don't even care if I win or not, because I already feel like I've won something when I see my story along side LB's, Dom's and DK's. I really mean it when I say that I've learned by reading these guys and trying to soak up their styles. Well that's about it. I just wanted to post and let my readers know what I have planned in the near future. Kisses Nick

Hmmmm........I'm gonna say number three, because it seems psychotic that someone would be dumb enough to be fooled by a fake muscle thing in someones shirt.....of course, I'm sure weirder things have happened Ok, now I think I'll go again(It's been like a year since my last turn) 1. I just ate two triple Whoppers with cheese and a King size fry with a side order of chicken tenders and a milkshake and I feel like I'm going to die of an explosion of the belly 2. I watched Grease and now I'm infatuated with Olivia Newton John, even going so far as to pledge to find and download all of her music and only listen to it as I'm writing new chapters of my current serials. 3. I've given up Sprite and Sunkist and Rainbow Sherbert for Lent, and I plan to eat and drink drastically less of each of then even after Lent ends

ooooh....I like Picking Up The Pieces better, but it's your story.....either way, it's off to a start.

I'm going to say that number two is the lie and one and three are the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth :pickaxe: :pickaxe: :pickaxe:

What you ought to do is report the author, who ever it is, to the web mistress at RCWP. I'm positive that Mary would have something to say about anyone treating a reader that way. If nothing else, she'd most likely find out what made the author so mad and try to resolve the issue. Personally, as an author, I love all feedback, good or bad, so I don't know why anyone wouldn't want their work displayed. Hell, I shamelessly promote the fact that I'm hosted on a gazziliion other sites because I want as many people as I can get to read my ish

Basically they're both nuts, and David was just crazy enough to make his dad think that he was still the son looking for his acceptance until he had his opening....well, maybe he was having a little fun with the whole thing too....either way it made perfect sense to me I can't wait for tomorrows release of the latest chapter of WT

Well, a lot of things are happening today. The new congress takes over and for the first time in history, there's a female Speaker of the House. Another forst for today is the swearing in of a house representative on the Qoran, and a lot of people are flipping out over it. Well here's what I think::::::::::: Warning: Rant Ahead The representative who's choosing to be sworn in with the Qoran is exercizing his faith, and I feel better about him taking the oath on the Qoran than I would if he were taking it on a Holy Bible.....let me explain. He's a Muslim, and if he holds the Muslim faith in his heart, why wouldn't the people in his district want him to take his oath on a Qoran??? How would it mean anything if he swore on a book that he didn't believe in?? I wouldn't feel to good about a congressman who didn't take his oath seriously, and it's obvious this guy does. I think it's a sign of what so called conservatives really think about the responsibility of a representative of the people when they say he should take his oath on the Bible. I'm a proud born again Christian, and I take my faith seriously. So if I were going to take an oath and it were on any book but the bible, I wouldn't take the sacred nature of the oath seriously. I think the same rule applies for anyone of any religion, and the fact that so many so called conservatives are upset that he's taking his oath on the book of his faith shows how little respect they have for the people he represents, and for the task of being an honest representative who upholds the constitution. Then again, they've proven that time and time again, and it's obvious that they can't be trusted with the power they crave so desperately. Speaking of faith, I'd like to say that now would be a good time to say a prayer for the new congress....I think if Republicans were the Christians they claim to be, they would have called on their followers from the Christian right to do just that. Well I have, and I'll do it again before I go to bed. Anyone who's read my blog knows that I have a special place in my hatred for both Democrats and Republicans, but no matter who's in charge, they need our prayers and our support because we need them to do the best job for our nation that they possibly can. End Rant. I recently took down What's The Difference, as everyone knows, but I'm ahead on Bodega Bay and I'm steadily working on Staking My Claim as well. Also, I'm rewriting What's The Difference and it'll be back up once I feel like it's stalker proof :pickaxe: In the meanwhile, I recently followed a google link here for a site called Story Write, and I liked what I saw and joined. My second day there I entered a story contest with a short story I never put up on my site because I thought it sucked ass, and it came in second place :2hands: Anyway, the link's too the right if you're intersted in reading it.

Just kidding

I want to do something unique for the Spring Anthology....something that hasn't been done already. Unfortunately, all I can come up with is Day Of Silence...well, and Baseball For Summer, I was thinking something like a trip overseas. For Fall I suggest Autum(literally) or yard work For Winter I was thinking Holiday baking or Christmas shopping

Ha ha...I thought of you today when I heard this song on the way to school.....check it out and tell me if you've ever heard it before. It's all seventies'd out Whatcha Gonna Do???

Wow...I really don't know what to say to all of these sweet comments. Thank you all for reading my story and there's no way for me to say what your comments mean to me, so I won't even try. I just wanted to say that I appreciate it more than you'll ever know. :wub:

If these are going to be your anthology characters, we're in for some awesome anthology entries Thanks again for the great story, Gabriel

I just finished chapter one of this story and I have to say I really like it. If you're looking for something really good to read, I recommend this story...I plan to knock out a chapter a day until I'm all caught up (there's 8 chapters posted). The Pastel Cowboy

Wow, Dom.....I can't believe it's over....well, David was evil, as I suspected, but at least he did the right thing (two times). I wonder what's in his future, besides murder and mahem.

Beautiful story, B1ue. Thanks for sharing it with us

np...I actually had to convert the original presentation that I got from Dont Push Me to PPT 2003 because like them, I use MS Office 2007 Pro, and the files aren't compatible with 2003 for some reason So anyway, sorry for the trouble you had opening it up, but I have to say they did a nice job overall with the layout.

You can always look at the list of winners on my blog as well

Happy New Year's from The South East Corridor of The Tidewater Region of The Old Dominion in the Mid Atlantic Region of the US.

This story was so sweet. I was scared he was going to die, especially when he described how cold his body had gotten. Awesome job, Bardeara

Awww...I love a story with a happy ending, and it was good to see the child abusers get what they deserved
