The Author's Mantra

Submitted by on

I saw a comment to a comic that sounded like a line from the Movie Dune,

It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shakes, the shakes become a warning. It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion." - The Programmer's Mantra also found in WikiQuotes.

This could also be the Author's mantra

I want to thank everyone

Submitted by on

I want to thank everyone who responded to my request about Bletchley Park. I am writing a story, but I decided to adjust it to be a little more historically Accurate. So I am having a character join Bletchley Park in 1943, instead of 1939.

The information you supplied helped me find what I was looking for.

Thank You

Paula

TV's Major Crimes has story about a TG teen

Submitted by on

Major Crimes on the TV station TNT had a fictional story about a thirteen year old TG teen, who was missing. The show was season 2 episode 6. There was a fair mix of supporters and detractors, in the expected places and the police seemed to handle the case well. A grizzly circumstance but fair and even handling.

****SPOILER ALERT****

Beth Carlyle sat alone in a quiet corner of the lunch room at her new high school. It was a Monday, the beginning of her second week there as a junior and the third week of the new school year. It had taken less than three days there before some dumb ass macho jock to make her life miserable. He had made a play for her attention and she rejected him, in revenge he and his cronies had spread the L word around with her name.

Fifteen year old Charlie walked into Kim Young-Soo’s Karate Dojang, carrying his forty five pound gear bag. The gear bag, which had seemed so heavy years ago, he gave no notice to these days. Charlie was five foot seven feet tall and one hundred and forty pounds of muscle and bones, with less than five percent body fat.

like Mark Twain...

Logged into Facebook and read that I was dead. My brother had a very close friend, whom his kids called uncle, pass away. My brother's 95 year old mother-in-law posted her condolences for me. Glad I caught that before my daughter did. I'm not dead, at least I think I'm not. Interesting way to start your day.

" How To Make Girls Behave Themselves According to a news report, a certain private school in Victoria, BC recently was faced with a unique problem. A number of year 12 girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom. That was fine, but after they put on their lipstick they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints. Every night, the maintenance man would remove them and the next day the girls would put them back. Finally the principal decided that something had to be done.

I am really missing the comments I hardly get anymore. I will still keep writing I guess but I lack feedback on how sections of my story are going. Just to let you know comments may not make me change where a story is going, but they can improve what needs to be improved or help me continue what I am doing right.

Sheer Agony that I did to myself.

Submitted by on

I tried what was reported to be the hottest hot sauce in the World. 'The Source' is rated at seven point one million scoville units. Considering Jalapeno peppers that are rated at three to five thousand units this was a milestone. The host stuck a metal wire in a one ounce bottle of hot sauce and then just touched my tongue. For the next half hour I was in agony. I have been pepper sprayed before, as part of work, (3 million scoville units) and didn't feel as bad. Water didn't help, milk didn't help and cold Heineken didn't help. No ice cream was available.
