  1. Breakfast with Scot is one of my all time favorites. I saw it my freshman year of college, and it was one of the first gay movies I saw where the guys became dads and were not some overused campy stereotype. That meant a lot to me at the time.
  2. My favorites are hard apple cider and amoretto sour, extra grenadine. I also like white or fruit wines, but i have to water them down to really appreciate the taste. If I drink them straight i just taste pure alcohol...
  3. Raised by a single mom here. My partner is nothing like my mother, and I'm nothing like his. He actually takes after his dad more than his mom.
  4. I'm working on my first story, and there's two things I've found to be immensely helpful. First, write out the bare bones of your overall plot for a chapter or book, no details just events. Then go back and read what you've already written before writing the new chapter. Second, find some way to keep track of all the information about your characters, timeline, backstory...everything about the world you're writing about. I use onenote for that myself, but I would definitely checkout these other programs as well. Hope this helps
  5. There are four things that i look for in a book or story. The first is the genre. I'm more likely to pick up a sci-fi novel or fantasy than romance or other genres. The second thing I look for is the plot hook. The author needs to pique my interest with the back cover summary. They also need to grab my attention and run with it in the first chapter. Then, I look at the length . When I truly love a book I tend to devour it overnight, so I try to go for books that will last until morning. Finally, I look at the plot. Is it decent and believable or full of errors and questionable choices? Is it a book I will read again or will it collect dust on the shelf? Can I identify with the characters? The books that fullfill these requirements are ones that I read until they fall apart and I have the story memorized.
