I'll watch it on demand tomorrow night. I am excited!

Every time I listen to this song by Keane it reminds me so much of Justin and Taryn (references to girls aside ) . Silenced By The Night

This has been getting a lot of airplay here in SoCal too! Cool band! Ominous rumbling down there though! For all its 80s cheeziness, this song represents the exact moment of my Gay sexual awakening. I just fell in complete love with Christopher Atkins. I still have a thing for him.

Happy Birthday, Mr. Fashionista. I hope you embrace the fact that you are alive for another day with another opportunity to find something to make you happy. Each new day brings a new chance to find something or someone that can make you smile. Even if it is a silly picture of a cute guy (possibly named 'Jimmy') winking at you from somewhere in Hawaii.

I'm surrounded by vampires! I am working my way through GFD while at the same time finishing Tale of the Body Thief by Anne Rice while at the same time cogitating my own vamipre novel The Seducer! I feel aroused!

I agree with Lisa, completely. When I had my editor they were a godsend to me, but unfortunately I lost them because of the workload. I have since had trouble getting another one. Again, I blame myself. I fear editors even though I know I shouldn't. I have to be careful to balance my need for excellence with my confidence to go on. I think many new writers find the tension between these two things difficult to manage. I suppose that is what separates a successful author from everybody else. But fear of failing is the author's bane and the editor holds the power to help an author through this or kill them creatively, hence the fear. So, I suppose a suggestion for a next segment of this invaluable series would be 'How to attract and keep an editor'.

Yes. But it is my latest one and I'm also writing the next chapter of Snowflake so it sort of all fit together. Thank you for commenting!

I know that comments are more precious than gold to me. I try to comment where I read. Unfortunately my time is so limited that I often have to make a choice to write or read, but not always both. I've already fallen into the trap of posting chapters before finishing a story, mostly because I didn't know any better when I started here. So, for all the new prospective authors out there I'd seriously consider finishing your stories before posting them here. I am now stuck releasing things when I can which is not always weekly. It's usually monthly and it depends on my schedule and where the story needs to go. As such, I've lost a lot of readership which hurts. To those who have stuck with me, be assured I will finish all of my works. Let me be an object lesson in what not to do if I can't offer any other advice. Persevere regardless.

You too, Ashikins. I miss chatting with you! I incorporated 'Did You See Me Coming' to one of my soundtrack outlines for another story. You inspired me!

Awwww . . . that's so sweet!!

Happy Birthday, Huntiekins! I miss chatting with you.

Snowflake's Ski Morning Pancakes Makes about 6 dinner plate sized crêpe pancakes Ingredients ______________ 1/2 cup of white or buckwheat flour 1 tbsp. of ground cardamom powder 1 tbsp. of protein powder (optional) 2 eggs 1 cup of milk and a little extra to thin the pancake batter out if needed Condiments ______________ Lingonberry Preserves Cherry Preserves Strawberry Greek Yogurt or Whipped Cream or both Cinnamon Sprinkles Measure flour, cardamom powder, and protein powder into a mixing bowl. Whisk it all together before adding any liquid. You should do this or the cardamom won't blend into the flour right. Add the two eggs and cup of milk. Whisk this together until you have a batter. The batter should be the consistency of heavy cream. If it is too thick add a little more milk until the mixture is the right texture. If it is too thin add a little bit of flour. Not much though. Heat some butter in a pan on High and put another pan (a bigger one if possible) and put so butter in it too but don't heat it up yet. When the butter in the first pan is melted and hot turn the heat down to Medium and poor in about a 1/2 cup or so of batter to coat the bottom of the pan. While the batter is still liquid you can swirl it a bit to cover the whole bottom of the pan without making the pancake too thick. Cook for about 5 minutes on Medium to Medium low. While the pancake cooks heat the second pan on Medium until the butter in this pan melts and becomes hot. When one side is done of the pancake is done carefully invert the pan with the pancake into the second pan so that the wet side flops down into the pan. Finish the pancake off for about 5 more minutes but watch that it doesn't burn. You can turn an edge of the pancake up every now and then to check the color. When done slip the pancake gently out of the second pan onto a plate. Smear some Lingonberry Preservers onto the pancake and then smear some yogurt or whipped cream over that. Fold the pancake into a nice triangle and then dress with some cherry preserves and the rest of the yogurt or whipped cream. Dust all with a little cinnamon. Have with coffee, or my personal favorite, vodka and cranberry juice! Enjoy and then go burn it off out on the snow! Move that cute little butt before it gets smacked!

Oh lord! Not him too!

I dream. I dream that I am flying. I'm flying so fast and so high! I feel the cold wind rush against my face and as we pass through clouds I feel the wetness on my face and body. My arms are outstretched like wings and yet I am not flying under my own power. My dream has me so that I am gently captured by two impossibly strong arms clasped around my shoulders under my arm pits. Inertia from our speed and the strange pressure of the rushing air beneath me hold my legs out straight

Ooo! Those look so good Clo! I'll have to whip up a batch of Snowflake's Pancakes and take pictures. The are basically crêpes flavored with cardamom.

hehehehe

indeed.

His Dad should take him on a trip to Hungary for a good beer. Warm stout I can do, but not warm beer!

Thank you so much Dennis! Yes, and remember to check out Comicality's serial The Secret Life of Billy Chase, the mastermold for my story. Rock on, Dude! _\m/

This is where I do some of my best work then: https://www.facebook.com/michael.dumonte

I'll contribute, but I'm going out to get drunk first at one of my local gay lounges. So, I can't be responsible for what I post later in the evening.
