Kitt, The prompts are there to help inspire an author. They can be as long or as short as the author feels they need to be. They can be flash fiction, poetry, or multi-chaptered stories. It all depends on how the prompt is taken. There aren't any strict rules for the prompts at all. Of course if the story intrigues a reader, the author should be aware they might get a message or two begging for more. (I can attest to that from personal experience.) However, ultimately the story starts and stops where the author is comfortable with it. Comicfan (Wayne)

Sean Collins sat at his desk and looked out at his office staff, smiled, then leaned back. It had all come to pass and he couldn’t be any happier about it. Who would have thought he could pull off such an amazing task? In a little over a year his startup company had become a force to be reckoned with. His idea to form a photography and ad company was paying off. He had, with the help of his employees, created a one of kind place that was growing by leaps and bounds. He even had offers to come to

Sean Collins leads a solitary life after a terrible break up with his ex, Trent. It has taken years to regain his self confidence, but he has started a new business and his life is finally looking up. The problem is his life has crossed paths with not one, but two men who could easily fill the hole in his life. The question is, who will he take a chance with and roll the dice on?

Yes Joann was the only to do last weeks responses, but this is the one from the week before where I already showed off one of the responses.

Why am I afraid?

I am glad you enjoyed it. Charlie really was a creation close to my heart. Barbara and the gang were special. I'm happy to hear they found a fan in you.

Yeah, Christmas is a time for surprises and Charlie for once was taken off guard. Only one more left.

Remember they broke up in September and she went right into Ted's waiting arms. She doesn't exactly have the high ground. Besides, she knew she wasn't what he wanted and now she knows why.

Time will tell. Glad you are enjoying. Getting near the end now.

Everyone is flawed. The little things can be the most important and sometimes just taking the time to explain them can make life worth while again.

The story might be made up, but if I can't bring the characters to life for you then you won't enjoy the story. Glad this something you are enjoying.

When is life ever clear or easy?

Scott is older and has lived his life. It isn't like he is a virgin waiting to be kissed. Nothing is perfect, but don't jump to conclusions either.

Andrea is making her way up the coast and I'm hoping everyone stays safe and dry. Seems the weather world wide is a bit off lately. Well, only so much I can do other than wishing everyone a happy Friday. I trust everyone had a good week and that you are excited to see the new prompts being offered. Don't let me keep you in suspense any longer. Prompt 236 – Creative Tag – First Line “I have to have a talk with your mother.” Prompt 237 – Creative Tag – The Bird A strange looking bird keeps sitting outside your bedroom window and sings loudly each morning. You finally looked it up and can’t find it anywhere online. What is the bird and what does it want with you? So that is this week's new prompt choices. Do either of them appeal to you? If so why not try writing a story and letting us see what you come up with. Last week we had only one reply to the prompts, but it seems an earlier one got a little more attention from our budding writer Joann414. This time she not only took aim at her regulars, but I seem to be making an unusual appearance. Never let it be said, I don't have a sense of humor. Wanna see what else Joann had to say about me, KC, and herself? Of course you do! So go read and leave her a comment. Her prompt response can be found here - http://www.gayauthors.org/forums/topic/37030-prompt-233-creative/ Wanna another look at last weeks topics? http://www.gayauthors.org/forums/topic/37066-prompt-234-creative/ and http://www.gayauthors.org/forums/topic/37067-prompt-235-creative/ Till it is time to prompt you again - stay safe and enjoy your week everyone.

Barbara is a force of her own. To see her out of it leaves everyone reeling. Glad you are enjoying the story.

Charlie just tells it as it is. He didn't exactly lie to Julie. Oh well, glad you are still enjoying it.

Holidays are always a stressful time. You see the best and the worst in people. Rick still is having trouble with his perceptions about people being challenged. Tonya is not a pushover and he knows that. Scott just got his sling off. Just wait and see what happens.

Then look at Scott. He loves cars, books and all. Stereo types don't always fit.

Seems everyone loves Barb and Joe. Glad you are enjoying the story.

I don't know if he handled it exactly calmly. He just knew if he didn't do something his mother would take over, and while Barbara can be a sweet heart, she can also roll right over you if you aren't careful.

Don't underestimate Charlie. He can be as tough as he needs to be.

And the fun hasn't even started yet.

Only time will tell but now he knows the whole story.

Face it, it was funny to see the way Samantha was coming on to him. Charlie just couldn't help himself. Julie has trouble heading her way.

Charlie's life isn't a smooth one. Things happen and he is finally realizing he has to do more than just go with the flow.
