There is nothing to describe the surreal scene of Michael Sam receiving the news of being drafted. That image is so distant from anything the NFL and its fans ever see. Conjoining a gay couple's intimacy with the NFL draft boggles a few minds. I felt his emotion, as a gay person, but not as an athlete who has put so much work into his career (obviously). I also felt, for a second, it was too raw to be shared with the world-- where is the privacy that he deserved? Is privacy another old-fashioned and sentimental concept we'd best do without? Whether he makes the team or not, there are millions of Americans who have a more diverse picture of their world than existed before Michael came along. And that's something.

Hi.

I've been struggling with POV...I've actually written the same story twice. Yes, I literally wrote a 21 chapter story twice from two different points of view. Is it possible to change the POV in a story without it appearing awkward?

I ride an '06 Yamaha R6. That is all.

I pretty much write everything on my iPad. I have a Bluetooth keyboard also because it's easier for me to use. Everything is saved to my cloud so I can access it anywhere and anytime.

Uploading/posting to this site from iPad isn't worth the effort though.

The latest iPads already come with Keynote (PowerPoint), Pages (Words) and Numbers (Excel). So yes, you can write your book on iPad, but it's not something "new".

Or, tell the future as it's told the past?

Wow, thank you everyone! This will help.

The best wrestling that's serious and sexy (for some)? Turkish wrestling! After that, American wrestling seems more like thumb wrestling.

Actually, that might be something, too.

With Turkish wrestling, the oil adds a great deal to the overall effect. The only way to get a firm grip, is to go "down under".

I am in need of some technical advise so as to make two stories a bit more realistic/believable. Although these are both fictional stories, I like my writing to be believable for the reader. Therefore, I am in need of some general guidance pertaining to terminology and whatnot from a doctor/nurse/paramedic or someone who knows medical phrases and whatever happens to people when they get beaten-up and suffer trauma. 

I will be grateful for any input you can provide. 

Thank you.

Scotty,

I love most sports, including soccer/football. It took awhile to come around to football, but I respect it for a couple reasons. First, the average player looks like an average guy. No six foot six giants, three hundred pound tanks, etc. Second, these guys go and go... they're amazing! And as a person who detests commercial interruptions (American football's weakness), international football doesn't intrude every few minutes, unless I count the visual ads.

Baseball is another favorite. I love its old-fashioned charm. In other words, its slow pace. It's a game of endless statistics, which I enjoy. Like soccer/football, there are long periods without scores, but this can add real tension to a game.

On a politically incorrect level, I enjoy the sexiness of baseball players more. Love those beefy thighs and forearms, and now, all the beards! As a Red Sox fan, I see plenty of those.  

Final thought. There would be more American fans of international soccer if the U.S. was more competitive in the sport. Americans are used to winning, and make very poor losers. 

Hi.
