Collision With The Past
MericCotton commented on MericCotton's story chapter in Collision With The Past
Thanks. -
Stefano walked down the stairs admiring the fresh look of the recently painted grand hall. As he had wished, the walls were a sandy-white, very light in shade. Dressed in his usual tight trousers and fresh unlaced crimson peasant’s shirt, he descended slowly and brushed his fingers through the tangle of damp hair evidence of a recent swim. As he looked around the room, he noticed his bare feet were padding against dry steps that not long before were sloshing with salty water from his soaked clot

Conviction for the Future
MericCotton commented on MericCotton's story chapter in Conviction for the Future
Thank you so much. It was a fun (and at times, surprising) work. -
the old "nature vs nurture" argument ...

agreed also

Interesting is good ...

Brad Calloway stared down at his seated client. "I have to say Enderson, as your attorney, I have heard you make some outlandish statements, but this one – this one caps them all." Enderson Tate rolled his chair back from his mahogany desk and moved to the bar at the back of his office. He glanced at his lawyer briefly before turning to add ice cubes to his glass. "Should I remind you of your contract with me?" "I am aware of our contract, but this goes far beyond what the law allows…"

What happens when a wealthy man decides his gay son is not enough assurance for the continuance of his legacy?

Odessa and Vargon were saying their goodbyes when Stefano suddenly stepped forward and pulled his sire into a hug. Surprise exploded on the elder kindred’s face, but he managed to return the hug in kind. “You do realize we shall return.” Stefano grinned. “Of course I do. I just felt like embracing the one that brought me into this strangely exotic world of the night.” Gerik took the hint and walked over to Odessa, hugging her gently. He kissed her cheek before whispering in her e

As always, your characters breathe off the page (or screen, I suppose). Real people, honest dialogue - true feelings. This is good. I will enjoy following it along

it's a thought - but there are others in there first .... but it's worth thinking about -

glad you enjoyed it. The ending is definitely nothing expected ... but that would be me, heh. Thanks again for sticking with me! -
Conviction for the Future
MericCotton commented on MericCotton's story chapter in Conviction for the Future
keep in mind - Jared left 2 weeks earlier and is now traveling with the band. doesn't feel abrupt to me - but I probably could have written it better ... In my earlier draft he and Jared didn't "hook up" ... maybe that would make it less abrupt? he's opened himself to experiences and feeling/loving again ... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm -
Two months have passed since Jerod left. I miss his presence. He calls frequently; still can make me laugh – and still earns an occasional 'shut up'. I still go to the club occasional Saturdays; things with Thomas are chilly, but acceptable. At least for me. But the workout isn't as pleasant without my best friend. Cheryl and I have gone out a few times, but that's finished. She wants me to move in but refuses to even discuss marriage. I tell myself it's a good thing, but it still leaves m

so it appears, yes.

Most welcome. Thanks for reading!

Works best. Then when "love" hits a low point - the friendship carries you through.

“You wanna run that by me again?” I looked at Jerod incredulously. “You quit?” We had only been back for a week; I was not expecting the bomb he had lobbed into my court. “Yep,” he answered with a grin. “Gave my notice this morning. In two weeks I’m gone.” We sat on the deck outside my house, drinks in front of us, bottles and ice at the ready, each of us smoking. The large ashtray in the center of the table was half full of cold remnants. The sun was just about to set; the air had

Chapter 14 - Mornings, part two
MericCotton commented on albertnothlit's story chapter in Chapter 14 - Mornings, part two
Understand that also. If a little food seems to help, maybe notice which kind of foods? Sweets, proteins, carbs .... Every piece we learn is a lever against panic. -
or ... he's frustrated trying to convince Jerod ... ?

LOL

wow ... ok - having been in Paul's shoes - I can honestly say the life of the stage performer is not for everyone.

‘Time flies when you’re having fun,’ or so the saying goes. For my life I don’t know that it has always been true, but the time in Chicago sure followed form. Before I was aware or ready, it was our fourth weekend and I was having to make plans for heading home. The question most on my mind was whether I would be leaving my current employment and going full-time into playing piano for Mike. Evidently it was on Mike’s mind as well; he hit me up the minute I walked into ‘Spradler’s on Main’

Chapter 14 - Mornings, part two
MericCotton commented on albertnothlit's story chapter in Chapter 14 - Mornings, part two
may I ask if you are diabetic? I found my panic attacks often happen when my sugar is low. When there's a physical "background" to it, sometimes it's doubly hard to deal with - at least in my experience... sometimes consuming protein seems to help for me also... -
So incredibly well written. On the edge of my seat. I hurt for Woody and his relationship (such as it is) with his father. I'm eager to see how this resolves - still pulling for Woody and the rest of his friends. Hope his relationship with Jon improves.
