    If I get a cease and desist order because the store chain objects to their name being associated with this guy, I'm blaming all of you.

    Paradise

    Carlos Hazday commented on Carlos Hazday's story chapter in Paradise

    Did you just say CJ's stupid? He'll show you. It has NOTHING to do with being cool. Maybe that was the goal for any kind of smoking years ago, but society has evolved. So you're advocating sobriety the same way so many misguided people did leading to prohibition. We know how that worked. You seem to equate use to abuse and they're entirely different animals. Re-threading the old arguments about pot leading to use of other substances is not going to work. Those claims are made without solid scientific proof. You hit a hot button the same way other readers have. I reject your arguments because some are irrelevant, some are unproven, and all judge how others should live their lives.

    CJ may not have realized it, but he opened a can of worms by dismissing Tom's parents and their priest. I might be his first lesson in how actions often have unintended consequences.

    I read this chapter now and realize how different CJ's reaction to his arrest would be if it happened a couple of years later. Those cops would have been in trouble for real. As is, however, it works well for his age. I tried to thread the needle with him, showing his maturity at times and a scared boy at others.

    Thank you. I've learned if the first chapter hooks the reader, it'll be a good bet they'll keep going. A good opening line is also important. I haven't gotten it right all the time, but lots of drama/action seems to work.

    I don't want her hands anywhere near his nuts. Let's wait until she's a little taller and she can kick the F out of him.

    Epilogue

    Carlos Hazday commented on Carlos Hazday's story chapter in Epilogue

    As they grow older, I try to show how their views/feeling evolve concerning their mother and Ritch's father. I think a 15 yo and a 25 yo will see the same circumstances from a different perspective.

    Def wasn't thrilled when she read I'd killer her namesake.

    You've got to be shitting me. You're THAT old? Happy 18th Baby Cia.

    I like Mazdas. My Mom owned a couple of them and my brother owned an RX7 for a while until he totaled it.

    The comment, intended to dismiss Northman, was based on him not having been cleared to hear about the Russian. CJ, whether he has a high clearance or not, is part of it all. Hell, he's the primary player, the CIA's reacting to Domogarov's actions and making use of two willing participants in CJ and Owen.

    And it serves as background for when they go-- oops, never mind. I'll just say butterflies play a part in another chapter.

    Thank you. I am. But writing continues to serve as therapy just like my first motorcycle did years ago. CJ and his friends have helped me through hard times more than once, including both my parents dying in the past couple of years. It's easy to escape into this world when the real one gets overwhelming. LOL

    The River

    Carlos Hazday commented on Carlos Hazday's story chapter in The River

    Your complaint's valid. Summer was the first thing I ever wrote even not the first I shared with readers. My writing has evolved. Hopefully you'll notice.

    One more... my niece turned me on to this guys during a road trip last May...

    I include little things in chapters that often resonate with readers. While there's been a lot of reaction to Mr. Northman, our wild and crazy guy, nobody has mentioned this. I think you'll find it interesting and the pictures in the gallery are pretty cool. Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve

    My Lucky Day

    See? I knew you'd like him.

    Harley will be one of the primary supporting characters; he'll make repeated appearances. Hell, some readers are so infatuated with him, they keep clamoring for a Harley spinoff. Maybe one day.

    @Bft If we stick Northman in the basement, we might not get to enjoy his stupidity! Alternatively, he could wander into the Marines training room by accident and never be heard from again.

    Glad you enjoyed it. Readers who stop reading at the end of the chapter miss a lot by not looking at the comments. I thought it would be funny to have CJ and Owen give Ritch crap about his media star status. Particularly in light of what's happening once they return to Mexico. Stay tuned.

    Politician? Hang on to that thought. LOL

    Gotta balance high drama chapters with more relaxed ones. I don't think anyone dies while skiing, so the next two chapters will be similar to this one.
  23. Carlos Hazday
    For someone who thinks so highly of himself, it must have been devastating to be dismissed so easily. I think I may have it happen again. It's fun to stomp on idiots.

    Last time I re-used a section of a story, even after changing POV, someone complained. This time I started with the section from Cadet, broke it up, and added new content in between borrowed segments. What was but a part of one chapter in Cadet I expanded into 3 chapter here. Nobody should complain if I repeat myself a bit. The arrival in Denver I really liked before, so it's almost verbatim.

    @dughlas A Mazda man! My Miata was named Blue. It was the 5th anniversary edition and the dark blue metallic paint had green undertones. It looked different depending on how the sun hit it.
