    Remembrance Day

    And thanks to active duty personnel too since one day they will be veterans.. Particularly one jarhead.
  4. Thanks! There are scenes and dialogue lines I've loved writing and that little scene is one of them. The responsible adult turns into a teen willing to road trip for a concert.

  12. This is the picture Wayne posted. The blurring is mine done to fit my cover.
  13. I have the photo in my laptop. I'll post it tomorrow. I know it was his picture because I asked for permission to use it for a cover. I just looked and the story has no cove ror banner. Must have been lost at some point. I'm on the couch watching a ball game and I'm too lazy to move. 😁
  14. @Reader1810 One of Wayne's prompts was a photo of an old car he took outside Walgreens, I think. Anyway, you know that was the inspiration for "Melvyn Ford," but it also inspired a bunch of other cool stories. I think Mann's turned it something about a race or road trip and there were others. All wonderfully different.
  15. I did that a lot! Some of my responses were pretty wild. I also remember Promising Authors battling against Signatures to see which group posted the most replies in a single week. Can't believe I'm being nostalgic.
  16. Fascinating info, Myr. As a CPA, numbers and statistics are in my wheelhouse. You make me want to go check all my stories for how I categorized them, but I'll wait until you roll out the new ones. I better have tagged my last story as military though! I mean something set at the Air Force Academy with a bunch of cadets... I think Soap Opera would work for my CJ series LOL The president of the Washington Scandals Rugby Team once compared my series to Tales of the City, and that's the ultimate gay soap. I just wish I could write as well as Maupin. Thanks for the effort to present the data in an easy to understand format.
  17. 👍
  18. Aside from my were-creature silliness which would be fantasy, I'm stumped. I sure as heck don't write romances and that's what most others post. I know you and I stand outside the lines on that one. How do you categorize some 25 stories all following one character's life starting at 15 and progressing through middle age?
  19. Hope there's help tagging stories. I have no idea what most of mine would fall under other than DRAMA.
  20. One of my beta readers delights in pointing out when I quote Billy Joel lyrics too. Along with Springsteen and Joel, Jimmy Buffet and Elton John are my favorite artists. I like storytellers and that's what they write and sing. Like you, I grew up with parental music that sticks with me, and I wanted to show CJ doing the same before branching out on his own. Cesar loves Springsteen, Brett Motown and the Beach Boys, and CJ grew up listening to Jimmy due to his frequent forays into the Florida Keys. I'd tell you what I have in store with music, but I don't want to spoil the story for you. Let's just say music moves me and inspires me.
