  1. This was a chance to slow things a bit and take a look at what else was going on in Chipper's life. Before things pick up again. And you know they pick up! LOL
  2. Bliss will be around for a bit longer.
  3. Thank you!!!

    “WE HAVE A STEAL!” Chipper was all smiles, mugging for the camera as he walked down the corridor toward backstage. Carson’s shout made him stop, turn, and pump an arm in the air. “YESSS!” One of the show’s twists was the ability of coaches to steal unsuccessful artists. Somebody had expressed an interest in Bliss; she would remain in the competition albeit on another team. Chipper waited in the tunnel until the woman ran to him. The hug and kiss they exchanged were more than fr
  5. Finally reading my autobiography?
  6. I think I'm going to miss the deadline...
  7. @andrew35 Glad you liked it! As I said before, I have a good idea of what happens in the intervening 20 years, but I needed a short break from CJ. This chapter served to close the story out in case I don't get to write about the missing time span. The story, prologue, and chapter went live the same day. Notifications were messed up.

    Hope you're enjoying what your boy's doing.

    I'll make sure to have a long chapter with multiple scenes covering a trip somewhere sometime in the future. I do like the shorter, more concise chapters and use them again in the next two stories I've already written. But won't be artificially limited to 1k words.
  10. I'm in! I have a premise for one of the themes and will be starting on it after I finish writing the story I'm currently working on. @lilansui I'll take this opportunity to remind you the deadline for the 2019 fall anthology is rapidly approaching. Regards, Your anthology buddy.

    It gets explained in the next chapter!

    Hey! When I promised a 'battle,' I meant a musical one. Anything else you may have inferred is on you. LOL

    Damn! You just reminded me I'm no longer 22 like Chipper!

    Do I need to further reduce chapter size so they can be read before the water boils?

    That has to be tough. But it's the curse of every talent show; for every winner there will be losers. There have been instances where a contestant doesn't have any chairs turn for them, and they return in a subsequent season and do better. Not everything they perform will be a cover of someone else's hit.

    Adam and Charlie both reach high notes a lot of singers could never hit. And if you remember Charlie's appearance on the show, they both claimed to be good friends. That was gratifying since I picked the song before I saw that. Alicia I think won last time she was a judge. Aside from wanting the 2 oys-2 girls setup, the reason I chose her will be clear in the near future. Glad you think I got the coaches right. To anyone not familiar with the show it wouldn't make a difference, but I wanted any fans amongst the readers to recognize them. I could probably get rid of the speech tags and you'd be able to guess who was talking. At least that was my goal. Bliss may be back.

    I have no idea what you're talking about. After what happened in the last chapter, I wanted to make sure readers were paying attention. Did anyone think he was still with Bryce and Zion?

    LOL... Chipper has to win at least a couple of rounds! Can't have him dropping out and becoming a beach bum/model like the two guys he met in the last chapter.

    I played with this chapter for a while in my head. When I started writing, it came easily. I could see each move and hear each of them singing as if it was really happening.

    Although I didn't include it in the story, each of the coaches brings in another artist during the show to help with the contestants. Interestingly, after I had written this chapter, Adam brought in Charlie Puth to help him coach. And one of the contestants sang this song. I like my version better. LOL

    “Damn! You’re tight. Breathe, baby, breathe.” Chipper demonstrated by slowly inhaling and releasing a lungful of air. He elicited a grunt from his companion. “Easy for you to say. You’re on top, and I doubt anyone could move you.” Bliss sounded frustrated. The shapely, black woman from Philadelphia shook her head and tried to follow her friend’s instructions while he massaged her shoulders. “Say what?” “Everyone knows you’re Adam’s boy, Chipper. You already punched your ticket

    @pickuptoy We're gonna have to cut this conversation off, my friend. We've most likely already surpassed the limit on political discussion outside the proper forum. I don't want either one of us to get in trouble with the moderators.
