You never know how you really come off as to someone else, but there are experienced hiring managers that can see through all that nervousness to focus on the skills. It might be one in ten, but they're out there.

You have an active resume. Don't lose faith just yet.

Happy GA anniversary! I think I'm coming up to 2 years in July. One tenth of that. 😅

“And, don’t worry. I’m making enough lasagna to freeze for you guys.” - I want to be a part of his family and get leftover lasagna, too. Homemade pasta, and everything.

A thin line of drool stained Billy’s cheeks. His body was facedown and sprawled across the king-sized mattress, and his feet were uncovered. - 🤣That's pretty realistic right there. “I just had a fun idea for the project and was running it through in my head before I pitch it to Randy.” - Or maybe they'll take the rewrite into their own hands? and hopped into his gold Jeep Grand Cherokee. - That checks out. Bet he can afford gas prices and everything. Suddenly, a thin male tooth fairy appeared, dressed in a pink tutu, and began doing a crazy combination of twerking and the hula. - 😂

“How quickly you forget the devastating fart of 1996, when your noxious gas evacuated the bedroom and almost killed your cat.” -🤣Not the cat! Well, I think Phoenix is a fitting pseudonym for a redhead, and I wonder what the rewrite for that scene they have to do will entail.

The only surprise for me is how high "general fiction" is on that list.

Paul the half-fae is also in it, as well.

The next story will get into all of that, and we'll get a clearer picture.

The biggest difficulty was trying to make it feel subtle, but not too hidden that it would be overlooked. It still felt a bit heavy-handed after all that, but this was my first completed multi-chapter story. I just have to keep working at it. Thank you! Yes, there is more, and it's already challenging. But I think (and I hope Chris agrees) that the next story will serve as a good "grand finale."

Two years slipped by in quiet transformation. Once whispered about, the Mystic Camp Grounds shed its warnings. Now, it brims with warmth and a sense of belonging. Altair Bran stood in the main office, now shared with Cane. He ran his fingers along the wood-paneled walls as he walked slowly around the room’s edge. He paused at the vibrant photos of campers, human and supernatural, that now hung where faded safety posters once were. Altair let his hand rest on a photo, lingering in thought as

Nice kicks! 🤣

Also, a happy belated birthday, @Jason Rimbaud🥳I lost track of the thread, track of time, and my own mind all at the same time.

In hindsight, the title was spot on. Drake has to find closure with not just one ex, but two! Who will you root for?

"It’ll be a great place for Jack to play.”Drake sighed. “Won’t be long now. One more sleep and we get custody. I wonder how he’s doing.” - Whoa, kids, too? They're definitely not wasting any more time. Dogs often attached to one person first before they brought in others, and Jimmy was that one. He had been from the first meeting. - Oh. That kind of adoption. “Shhh,” he said softly, cutting him off. His face was lit with inner light as he looked upward. “Drake Richmond Forrester, will you marry me?”“Yes, James Dean Calloway, I will marry you… anytime and anyplace.”Jimmy sprung back up, and grabbed him in a bear hug. “You’ve just made me the happiest I’ve ever been in my whole life. Thank you.” - No, not the eye allergens attacking! Where's that box of tissues I just had? “Nope… four more in the garage that are just about to bloom. They’ll come up every year around this time and bloom for about a month.”“Wow, you’ve been busy… and sneaky.” - With brilliant ideas. “Hey, don’t you trust me?”“Always, Jimmy… just not your aim. You have a habit of getting stuff in my eyes.”Laughter pealed out of Jimmy. “Guilty as charged.” - Ha ha! He went there. “Well, we won’t get anywhere if we argue with him. So, when do you want to do this?”“The sooner the better. Next month?”Drake wasn’t expecting that answer, and choked on his champagne, spraying it outward while Jimmy pretended to scramble sideways. It took him a few seconds to be able to speak. “You’re not serious?” - 🤣Best reaction. “Huh. Are we changing the plan?” As always, Drake’s attention was diverted when Jimmy dropped his shorts. He had to force himself to look up. Jimmy, as always, was smirking. “Maybe. Why not? We have the house and the dog, and we’re going to be married within the next year. I wouldn’t mind getting the adoption process started after we tie the knot… would you be against it?” - Might as well get the kid(s), too. “Oh? You want to talk about that now?” Drake’s voice rose a little with each word despite of his efforts to be calm. In his defense, though, he had a rather large dick partway in him, and he was craving the rest of it. - 🤣It's the perfect time. “Are you sure?”“Absolutely. The past is in the past, and Richard can’t hurt me anymore. I have the man I was meant to be with.” - Amen! -- Well, that was a good read. Took me a while to get to the end due to my day job and my ADHD. But it was more than worth it.
