Thanks sweetie.

Brandon Smiling Entry 17 is up: https://www.gayauthors.org/story/mrm/brandonsmilingfromthebillychasechronicles/17

April 22 I almost didn't go to school today because I got so caught up with what was going on TV! Something weird is happening to ships in the ocean and no one knows what is causing it or why! I was turned on to it because my Dad was watching and making phone calls as he did. He looked like he'd been up for most of the night with his laptop in front of him and papers and pens next to him. He had a cup of cold coffee sitting next to him too. I asked him if everything was ok and he gave me

I added a couple of sexy new pictures of Brian and Snowflake. I hope those interested in my little story likes them: Snowflake, Dressed to Kill. His 'party' outfit that Brian got him in San Francisco. Coming attractions! Brian's Pinup!

Hmmm . . . I wonder what Brandon is up to. This is going to keep me awake trying to figure out what I'm doing here.

Aberdeen, Scotland

Amsterdam, Netherlands

Snowflake is breaking up right now. Brian is looking at him funny.

Just say the word. You are far more forgiving than I am.

I suppose to be convincing in writing a main character from an orientation, sex, or culture other than your own you should develop sources for research. I write a Finn. I am not Finnish, but I do have a Finn who helps me culturally and linguistically at times. Somehow, I manage to convey him in a convincing way (I hope). I am gay and so is my character so I don't have to research that bit as much though I do have to immerse myself in Finnish Gay Culture which is quite different than American Gay Culture in a lot of ways. It's been educational and very rewarding to do this. It is amazing what connections find you when you begin expressing yourself through the lens of another culture. Resources come to you and help you because they admire and believe in what you are trying to do. Your consciousness grows. So I actually recommend putting yourself in the shoes of someone other than yourself as a main character. You learn a lot of empathy that way and you can then grow as a writer and touch people on deeper levels.

Very good, Master. We shall wait and see, per your wisdom. ~sheaths copywrite sword for now~

With your consent I would like to post this in the video comments: A worthy project. I would suggest, however, connecting with and crediting the original author of this story who is a big name in the LGBTQ Online Authoring community. Not only will you be helping him expose his years of dedication and work on this project and many others, but he may be a great resource for connecting to those who might be able to fund this expression of his work. If he consents, I know that I would be very excited to see one of his fantastic stories put to film. This particular piece is a great choice. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCESMtd0M-zWK6Cgon7yOTRA

Um . . . what the hell?

Yeah. Like I can't even right now . . .

His passing is totally killing me, Dude. It's like a door closed on my younger days. People I loved when I was a teenager are dying. It's just a really strange milestone. Ah well... I miss the chat room!

Comsie is my hero!

After I get done catching up with GFD I'll start in on your Zombie Apocolypse saga. You write more sagas than J.R.R. Tolkien and G.R.R. Martin combined!

Who? Jamie? PHPPPPPHT! Jamie can't TOUCH Billy! Jamie is a big blonde goofball! Billy is an Angel sent to earth on cotton candy clouds in a wet whipped cream love boat! What? If you mean Randy, well. You chose him, not me. He's perfect though. I'd have fallen in love with him too.

"Let go of your lyin' eyes, Alexis. When you look with only your eyes, you only see lights and shadows. When you look with your heart you see love and life. Love and life are the only things that are real." ~ Eros, the REAL God of Love!

Thanks, Darlin'.

I've released the first of a trio of updates for Brandon: Entry 16: https://www.gayauthors.org/story/mrm/brandonsmilingfromthebillychasechronicles/16

April 21 It was an interesting morning at church today. Marie seems to have her entire family wrapped around her little finger. She actually managed to dislodge her mom, dad, and stupid brother from their ancestral seat across the church from me and my Dad (I think the Crosses have been sitting in that same pew for generations now, I swear). So, she got them to sit with US! I was like OMG and what the hell, er heck? What's more is that they all managed to situate things so that Marie and I

It reminds me of the kid who wants to perform something starts, doesn't like what is happening, and then says 'Just A Second' and then starts over...and over.

I will, I just want to get a couple of the more popular projects done first.

Yay! I'm glad you are enjoying this story. This was my first one I ever actually thought of putting down on paper (computer screen at least). Thank you for reading and thank you very much for commenting!
