Well, I thought about wiring it for 220. Then at least I could regrout the bathroom and give the thing some real purpose. I have often said, "I'm a very patient person, I just hate to wait!" I've left a link to this forum, in my most recent nifty submissions, for those that are emailing me from nifty. I let them know, that a revised copy of Earth Reborn is here, and now (I hope) a much better read than it's predecessors. The story has definately come a long way since I originally wrote it, thanks to the wonderful help of a very good editor. I know it's difficult to find the time to write, read, and work. I try to do all three, and each one seems to push the other away. Between, pre-editing submissions to my editor, re-editing them after they come back, posting them here, and then trying to get a couple of pages squeezed out each day, it seems I run out of time. I try to read a new story every couple of days. It seems to me, the more I read, the better I write. The problem with that, of course, is when I get sucked in by someone else's writing, and don't want to stop. Then, before you know it, the entire night has passed, and I haven't accomplished a thing. The funny part is, I have been writing every night since July 23, 2006. I had finished reading one of Com's stories, and decided... hmmm I think I'm going to try to write. I thought about the story I would like to read but wasn't there yet, sat my ass in front of the computer, and pounded out about ten or twelves pages. I fired them off to nifty. I recieved a few replies, and they fueled me to write even more. Two weeks and eight chapters later I decided to rewrite the whole damn thing, and resubmitted them as four chapters. Almost two months later, I had slung nineteen chapters, 172 pages, and 78,000 words of my first story. It is by no means finished, as I'm rewriting the whole thing yet again, but with the very skilled help of my wonderful new found editor. It seems, since that first day a little over two months ago, I've found myself a new obsession. I'm learning, albeit slowly, and hope to improve with time. Who knows, some day I may even begin to watch television again. (NOT!) I have to be at work in less than four hours. I suppose I should do some laundry, shower my scraggly self, and make some attempt at being presentable to the public. Heheh, then I might have a couple of free hours to write before I go to work. If it is a typical Monday, I doubt I'll be able to get much writing done. They actually expect me to 'work' at my job, and it's hard for them to repair things without the parts I'm supposed to order. 'selfish bastards' I hope everyone had a great weekend, and I hope your Monday turns out to be quick and painless. Take care all!

LOL! I'll just chalk it up to a prozac moment and hope it goes by the wayside. As for my lackluster dramatic flair.... that's okay. I think I'll pass at the moment. I had my little tantrum, and I think I'll leave that be for a while. Man period... hmmm I bet we could market a pill!

First, thank you all for your kind words and help. Especially CJames. He received the brunt of my frustration and it truly wasn't fair. The man must have the patience of a saint. I know better than to post when I'm bitchy, and I know that at the end of every month that is exactly how I am. Still... I let my fingers fly. (Can a guy have PMS?). Please accept my apologies. As I said to CJames in a very recent PM, let me take the pacifier from my mouth, the stick from my butt (and no... not the fun kind) and get back to work. I've been making my announcements in Gaycafe, and E-Discussion, when I should have been placing them in a different thread. I need to slow down... 'read' and be more patient. I've wasted your time and mine with my little tirade, and for that I'm sorry as well. On that note... let me run and get my toothbrush, and try to get this 'sneaker-breath' taken care of. I hope what is left of your weekend is a good one!

I've changed my sig.... I hope that it is enough. I know we all have lives, but when I see a new story appear and get reviews, when mine has sat their for two days prior, I have to seriously wonder if I'm doing something wrong. I've all but spammed my work across the forum in my feable attempt at gleaning some feedback and I've recieved nothing. If it sucks... say it sucks... if it is great... say it's great, but god damn! At least say something!

What the hell am I doing wrong here? In three weeks, two stories, one anthology submission, and six chapters, I have received more feed back on my avatar than I have my writing. I came here after several people pointed me to this site. CJames gave me a wonderful welcome and I thought

I should have probably worded that better. We all have choices. I could choose to be unhappy, miserable, and waste my life and someone elses, by not following my nature and marry a woman. I am attracted to men. It isn't that I choose to be attracted to them. What I do choose, however, is to pursue that attraction. I believe we should all choose to pursue what makes us most happy, so long as we do no harm. Now on that note, If I were to find a woman (by some inceivable means) that I were attracted to sexually and spiritually, then I would be with them (if possible), even if I found other men HOT! Hope that makes a bit more sense. Take care!

It seems to me, that our society will always skew the numbers on this issue. Our religious beliefs, social acceptability, and environment all play a very large role. If we were to take away religious beliefs, and remove the stigma of homosexuality from our environment, I have a strong suspicion that there would be a wide majority right in the center. There are many ancient societies that accepted homosexuality as common place. It wasn

Is anyone doing this? How's it coming along? I read through the description, but am at work at the moment. Fun? Just curious!

I believe I downloaded a video similar to that once. One of those morbid curiosities that you might deplore but have to stare wide eyed in disbelief. Therapy? We don't need no stinking therapy!
