Steve has climbed into his cave and don't wake him up until the end of April. I think it it is @Slytherin's turn to stay awake this winter That bear just happens to be the colour of outdoors. We got dumped on the past week. No road lanes, no sidewalks, no nothing. All buried in snow. It is beautiful if you don't need to go out into it Also, the temperature dropped into the minus celsius without windchill Winter is here, I hereby declare. May you all share the wonder of it I'm in a bit of a predicament. I signed up for the Prompt Contest, and just a reminder that you have less than a week to get them in. Make sure you check out the link below to get all the information. Now some of you can put out a prompt like in a few hours. I've been going for over a week now, and over 5,000 words and I'm not even half way to my final that I have pictured. I don't know how you all do it. I'm right now in the stuck category where I don't know if I can finish. Also, who wants to read a 5-10,000 word prompt These are the things that swirl around in my head, along with all the air, when I get like this. Help? Any ghost writers out there? Now what happened this past week Something really, really, really big happened on Thursday! Keep reading down to see the big news on that day Monday, I was busy. I had to change my signature at the bottom of my profile as we had a new Signature Author introduced: Myr was back in the saddle again on Tuesday, but I think it was on a mustang He gave us the top read stories for every tag for the past 6 months: Wednesday was a nice teaser. A teaser in the form of excerpt on why to read this month's Signature Author's story: Thursday, was that big news that I was talking about! Check out our newest Signature Author: Friday, speaking of Signatures this week Aditus popped in with a couple new Prompts: Well I don't think Bird is a Word of the Word of the Day, but maybe this will get you into mood nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon, sodium, magnesium, aluminium Upcoming Writing Events Prompt Team Event/Contest - Due Dec. 3 Click here for all the details.

Sorry to hear about the news It appears though there is a huge positive. You have the attitude it sounds to learn what you can, learn what you can do, and tackle this head on. I’m so happy to hear you say that. i do not know what you are going through though. To say I do wouldn’t help. Just know that I want you to do what you can do and I’ll be thinking about you. May sound weird, but if you ever need someone to listen, besides Michael, let me know.

Oh, I thought that was how many words in your prompt entry

So welcome to the first nude GA Blog Now I am not personally nude myself, at the moment .

Oh, don't picture others naked in your mind, or you may be scarred for life . Now that you are in your nice lounging Sunday morning wear , shall we take a look back at the past week in all its glory? Monday, the Review Team revealed all on a great story for the month of November: Tuesday, Myr stripped back everything on a genre: Thursday, Val exposed us all to the upcoming Writing Event for the New Year. She kept yelling if you want more, you need to yell louder : Friday, I think I stole the show on Prompt Friday. It turned into a music discussion instead of prompts Let's hope someone had an idea or two.

Never heard that song, but thought of this one right away.

Matteo Went Ahead by Aditus Reviewer: chris191070 Status: Complete Word Count: 1,096 This short semi autobiographic story featured in the In To Deep Anthology 2024. This is a very short tale where we find the author drawing on true life experiences. I'd suggest having tissues available, as this story whilst only 1000 words really packs a punch. We discover what it's like to lose a parent, which will have many of us thinking about what the future may hold. A really emotional story, that is beautifully written. Category: Anthology 2024 Genres: General Fiction, Literary Fiction Sub-genres: Drama, Slice of Life Tags: mature, adult, senior, gay, europe, serious, death Rating: Everyone

Or No matter who you prefer, Daffy or Sylvester, they both have what's on my mind! I'm at a loss on what to expect of late. Snow one day and cold temps for 3 or 4 days, then mild summer days (20 C) the next few. Rinse, Repeat and carry on. Luckily the snow tires are on! So, tell me how beautiful it is where you are. Tell me it is sunny and 80 in Florida, or California! Let me dream Speaking of which, the past two winters I escaped in January to Hawaii. This year, I'm thinking LA For those Angelinos out there, or visitors to the city before, where should I go, what should I do? I have to admit that I've done Disneyland, California Adventure, Universal Studios, but like 20 years ago . My last trip I did the La Brea Tar Pits and Museum, The Holocaust Museum, and did a drive around the city. Oh, stopped one day at the Aquarium at Long Beach and I have been to Sea World in San Diego. I took the I-10 to its end at Santa Monica but didn't know where I was going so turned left and ended up parking just before Marina Del Ray . Walked to the beach just in time to see a gorgeous surfer walking across the beach and put down his board to take a beach shower where he stripped out of his wetsuit and I had a free show. Yes, that kind of show . I think I want to see the Getty Museum, maybe the Griffith Observatory. Okay, enough of January The Weekly Wrap Up is actually looking into the past, not the future So what happened this past week? Monday was the day that Cia launched the November CSR: Tuesday was Myr's day to go looking at one of his favourite genres I believe: Wednesday ! Guess who was back ? It was Aaron with an all new Ask An Author 3.0: Thursday, everyone's favourite puffin came by with a brand new writing event : Finally on Friday, whew, I think I need a break . Aditus I'm sure created a lot of click bait with the way his Prompt Blog was titled and started You dirty minded people What? I'm not done? I hate that internal voice that won't let me move on .

I took a mail in course in junior high, there was no online back then Anyone that comments asking if I had an inkwell and a feather will regret it 😠

I thought my tighty whities might be considered ligature

Oh, I LOVE writing Christmas stories Are they all Christmas themed? Crosses fingers for a Christmas themed prompt 🤞 . Who knows how much fun can be had

Thanks @Myr I assume you are referring to @Valkyrie in the picture. I vehemently assure everyone that she is the one going into the water. I won't say who is doing the pushing

I do this every year at this time So, if you are in a area that falls back, you can prove to Cher that you really can turn back time If you missed turning back, you can go back to bed for an hour. I'll let you Heck, even if your clock didn't turn back, go back to bed for an hour ! After watching the video though, you might want to watch the Village People singing In the Navy Who's your favourite sailor ⛵ I am not going to ask anyone about your thoughts of time changes, as this is a family blog and some of you really told me your feelings back in March So instead, I want to know about your reading habits. Or if you come to read or just come to enjoy the conversation of the community in general? Do you like reading the anthologies since it was so topical all of last month? Do you like to read stories from new authors, or do you stick to your true and tested groups of Authors and Poets? Do you read by genre pretty exclusively? Is there something you would like to see more of in stories that would get you reading more? This is not a sanctioned GA survey, but just me being curious on what you enjoy to read. If I'm honest, I'll admit that 16 years ago, I was in a pretty serious car accident and my head got knocked around a fair bit. All of my mental faculties seem to be okay (some will argue this point vehemently (stick that in your Word of the Day, @Myr) )), but I found reading like I did before more challenging. Of late though I've started reading a bit more. I'm hoping this is a promise that I can keep to myself . I think I like most genres and I also like to sneak in and look at some new authors. I should read more Poetry, but like a lot of us, we shy away from it as we were never really influenced to read it growing up. Keep that in mind, Steve! I do like romance to be honest. When two guys fall in love, usually with something that is preventing them from just going for it, it captures my heart. Enough about me, I could go on for hours Another short week with the GA News Blog this week. Let's check it out. Monday, Cia engages a conversation with a delusional Penguin that is really just a North Atlantic Puffin : Tuesday, Myr has put away his speedo for the year but he did enough Deep Diving to cover the winter months: Thursday was a great day! @Valkyrie wrapped up all the GREAT Anthologies entered this year. Don't be shy, leave a comment on which was your favourite. Also a huge thank you goes out to the Proof Team. I volunteered for the Poof Team, but Valkyrie had 3 questions that I could not answer so she turned me down . A really huge round of applause 👏 for Valkyrie! Also to @Cia and @Myr for all the background support and artwork. All together, the authors and poets, the proof team, the Admins, but also the readers, you made this years Anthology a success! Congrats all Oh, before we jump to the Words of the Day, I'm going to throw in another question to you all. I live in a closed condo building and I think there might be 3 or 4 kids under the age of 16 living in the building. So it saves me money on buying candy for Halloween. I don't need any for myself . One consistent thing I heard over Friday and Saturday was how many kids that different people I know around the city visited their houses? A lot said it is the first year that seemed like it was pre-covid. They said they also have a lot of 12 - 15 y/o's in pretty amazing cosplay characters that they felt deserved the candy even at their age. So how was it in your neck of the woods. Slower than usual, about the same, or busier and how much so? Oh, and congratulations to @Dodger for winning the World Series https://gayauthors.org/profile/15631-dodger/ Now back to the Words of the Day: notorious, lackadaisical, frustration, museum, sociopath, logophobia, suggest Upcoming Writing Events Prompt Team Event/Contest - More information to come.

Like you 2 could have done that in a lot less words

It is interesting that all the listed are American. Sadly, they don't even make the top 10. Number 11 was Samuel Little who was the top American. Unfortunately South America would win the top ten category https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_serial_killers_by_number_of_victims

So I didn't know what the hell that was running across the screen in Myr's picture, so found out it was a baby T-Rex

It was a Monday after all

I liked this comment Maybe not for the younger crowd

I'll take blame on this Cia is off for a while and a few of us are covering. With what I knew, we were waiting for your update which you appeared to have done. I approved and published. My apologies. You can unpublish if you want and add additional 'chapters' I maybe have erred with @empath's story as well.

I could get wasted one night and try to write like @Krista Payback is a bitch, for the post above. Meanwhile I will run and hide. See you all in about a month.

I'm sure a lot of us have one on speed dial

Okay, how was your week? Mine kind of sucked, but there is not much to do about it. So here is what I thought I'd ask. We always hear to control what is in your control and to not fret over for what you don't control. The way I read this is there is a lot of things in the world out of our control, but when negative things happen that are not in our control, it is what you do after that you can make the decisions and control the eventual outcome Now if I didn't lose you already with the overuse of the word control, my question is do you fret over what isn't in your control, or do you think things through rationally. I know there is different severities of this. Experiencing a rain shower while out hiking in the mountains without a jacket, is not as bad as getting a life altering diagnosis. So are you the calm, cool, cucumber? Or are you a reactive mess of a person I think I am a reactive mess right away, but usually doesn't take too long to morph into the cucumber . The only issue is sometimes my reactive mess needs an apology depending how far off the deep end I go. Now that I got that all out, shall we look at our much reduced Weekly Wrap Up, which is the plan when we have the Anthologies coming out 🎉 Tuesday, Myr kicked off the week with a Deep Dive into the genre that I really, really should read more of : Then on Thursday, Valkyrie came back with the Week 2 of the Yearly Anthology. How are you doing on your reading? Believe it or not, that is it My job is done. Oops, maybe not Still need to recap the Words of the Day.

I'm lucky enough to have not 1, but 2 urologists Not because my penis is so big it needs 2 doctors to work on it, but they are dealing with different issues.

Last December, I talked to my family doctor about a persistent 'ahha' cough. He showed me the statin I was on had the most common side effect was that. So we switched up my meds, but he said for shits and giggles we'd get a chest x-ray. That is when I started seeing a pulmonologist for biopsies and repeated testing, now that I have been diagnosed with a auto immune disease, sarcoidosis. It does seem to be getting better on its own the past month though I see him for the full gamut of testing on Friday. @Myr, quit publishing all the specialists that my old, decrepit body is making me go see I've told @Krista to put away the brochures for the old folks homes and just take me out to the back 40. She seems to like the idea of not doing that and making me suffer .

So what did you get up to this week? Once again, my heart goes out to everyone trying to recover from Helene, and now a whole bunch more people dealing with the aftermath of Milton Now not sure if you know, but there is a lot of exploding going on the surface of the sun. What that means is that the northern US and all of Canada and even Great Britain and Scandinavia are having some pretty spectacular viewing of the Northern Lights (Not to be confused with Steve ). Everyday I see pictures on the local news here, that you can see them even under the glare of a city of 1.4 million people's lights. Last night I decided to that I wasn't going to miss them, supposed to be a clear night. So I started out around 9 and saw nothing. Trying different areas around the city, nothing. So my logic kicked in and said maybe if I drive closer to the Arctic I will have better chances of seeing them. Right? Nope, drove 2 hours north and pulled off the highway at multiple times to see nothing but the stars on a nice clear night. Didn't even see the comet that we were supposed to see. So got home around 3:30 this morning Now for all the Canadians out there, Happy Thanksgiving! I had always been of the belief that we had ours earlier than the US because our harvest was earlier. To my shock I found out that back after WW1 we had created Armistice Day like a lot of other countries for November 11th. In 1931, our parliament felt that to have Thanksgiving and the newly renamed Remembrance Day together in November, were too close together, and that Rememberance Day should be the sole focus in the month of November. So they moved Thanksgiving to October and now it is only November 11th recognized as a holiday in the month. I never knew I bet very very very few Canadians even know this either! See, the Weekly Wrap Up is informational Now for the big things going on at the site It only comes once a year nowadays We had our initial release of stories for the 2024 Anthology. See the link below for a lot of reading to keep you entertained . We generally wind down the GA News Blog on Anthology weeks, so here is what we had before the big day on Thursday. Monday, Cia was in with the October Can't Stop Reading feature: Tuesday, Myr got in his last deep dive before he has to start wearing a wetsuit as it gets too cold: Then onto Thursday, the day we get to start reading the offerings of some of our great Authors here on the site for the Anthology: So that was it, but isn't it enough for the GA News Blog? No?
