    Research, my friend. I've looked up so many damn things since I started writing, my head's full of trivia. I've now used Georgia twice in stories this year. You better be happy!

    The Place

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

    @travlbug I forgot to mention the car conversation between Carson, Ozzie, CJ, and Brad is an almost verbatim lift from a previous story. I introduced the idea of Brad moving there and the documentary a hell of a long time ago.

    Why am I not surprised a fellow author would comment on the repetition. In this case intentional! LOL @Dughlas did mention it when he beta read. I'm kinda proud of it and it did work for introducing 3 new characters even though we met Anne in the prologue.
  4. Carlos Hazday
    There are a couple of dark moments coming up, but there's also a lot of playfulness. Hopefully I got the balance right.
  5. Carlos Hazday
    Glad you liked it. All three scenes helped introduce the main new characters even though Anne won't play a big role.

    No two are alike, but many vets struggle to reintegrate themselves into civilian life.

    The piggy comments were inspired by my straight brothers. Funny you mention The Interviews. That's the title of chapter 7! Moi? Trash our President and Commander in Chief. Interesting you bring that up, I'm an equal opportunity trasher. Just you wait for Malibu!

    Pssst, the win an Oscar. LOL Actually, the story goes on for a bit after the win. Obviously, CJ and Chipper are no longer the only Squad members in the public eye.

    I'm not very tech savvy, but you may want to check what type of notifications you're getting. I know there's an option for getting none, some, or just some.

    LOL I've explained it twice but here it is once again. The system failed to send out notifications but it did when I mentioned it in a status update. Y'all have to pay attentiong when I do updates. My main goal is to entertain, if in the process I'm able to share a bit of knowledge, so much the better.

    @Butcher56 The system failed to send out notifications when the story, prologue, and chapter were published. However, I did post about it on a status update and in the Ranger forums thread. Anyone following me as an author should have received notice of those. I know they went out. Are you following me as an author?

    The times are different for sure. FDR tried to hide the fact he used a wheelchair.

    Oh ye of little faith. 1. The end justifies the means. Particularly when the end isn't self-serving. 2. Dude, CJ's a politician! Enough said. 3. I think Brad made it clear he wasn't homeless in his speech. I mean, he mentioned the support he received from family, friends, and strangers. 4. Want more?

    Thanks, Bug. And this was supposed to be a celebratory chapter! I mean, I don't have an Oscar to my name and all those suckers got one. I'm jealous!

    Not all of us are inclined or fit to serve, but I treasure my friends who have. As Daddy Dave mentioned in a comment, Vietnam vets were treated shabbily, and things are improved. But any man or woman willing to put their lives on the line for me gets my respect.

    The Documentary

    Carlos Hazday posted new chapter in Ranger

    April 2020 “Why are you doing this?” Brad was surprised Mark had moved out of his own place and settled in the barracks, relinquishing his tiny home to the younger, redheaded veteran. “It’s not a big deal. I support what you’re trying to do and think you need to experience Haven the way we do. You should live in one of the houses instead of the dorms. Plus, I was ready to move on anyway. I postponed the start day at my new job for a bit, just so I could stick around and help you

    The Oscars

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

    @Dr. John NYC Thanks, Doc. Although the story deals with a serious issue, I tried to do so in a respectful and at time humorous way. Brad's righteous indignation during his acceptance speech hopefully shows how far he's come. We'll explore how he reached this point in future chapters. When he stands in front of the audience to receive his Oscar, it's been nearly three years since he lost his legs. He credits friends and family for his recovery, but most of the work has been his. It takes a determined man not to wallow in misery. And as far as our current Commander in Chief, he may or may not be trashed in the chapter posting tomorrow,

    Starting slow until we have the cast introduced, then I'll ramp up the drama

    I mentioned other communities similar to Heroes Haven existed in my reply to a comment. Here's an aerial shot of the one in Kansas City.

    @northie Please remember I don't come up with the questions! Credit to the individual who sent it in. I enjoyed the different responses. Clear evidence diversity in approach and style, as well as characters and theme, is alive and well at GA. Not everything posted will be to everyone's liking, but if we all followed the same trends, the selection would be poorer.

    You know I like to write controversial stuff to generate conversation. This is the same, just because I asked the question of authors the questioner suggested doesn't mean others can't join in.
