Patreon? Should I?
1 min read
Long story short: I've not been able to write as much the last few years with a marriage, a child, a full-time job and a part-time job. I never get to finish any of my series stories, and I would like to give you some quality content.
So... since COVID has dried up my part-time job, why not try something where I can actually afford to dedicate time to writing and finish series stories? Maybe a Patreon?
Thoughts? Ideas? Things you'd like to see? Would you join?
Let me know what you think. Thanks!

A new DD (available also on YouTube)
2 min read
I'm ecstatic to say that my latest prose (on my other dA name) earned a DD!
My great thanks to JessaMar for the feature!
Also, I posted this story on reddit (for better or for worse), and it was quickly picked up and read by Operation Insomnia on YouTube. I had no input on the artwork, but I think he did a pretty good job considering the topic of the story.
A Death You Can't RhymeI didn't feel any trepidation about visiting my half-brother until I got off the Interstate. I had been fine on the flight from New York to Tampa, relaxed at the rental car agency, and even delighted driving downtown by the city skyline. But as I passed by all the eastern suburbs and got off the exit for Ruskin and headed east, I got a feeling way down in my stomach that was either caused by emotion or by cilantro. I hadn't had any of the latter in quite some time.
Motoring through the retirement community of Sun City was pleasant enough, and it still made me feel like I was near to modern civilization. But once I got past that, and then the small town of Wimauma, civilization began thin out in a hurry. I drove on another little while and passed through a town called Fort Lonesome that, as far as I know, only consists of a convenience store and an electrical substation. "There is truth in advertising," I thought to myself.
Not long after that I cross

Been a While/I got a DD!

Greetings Fellow Earthlings (at least, I assume you all are),
It has been a long, long time since I posted anything here. Since I became a parent over 3 years ago my writing time has been severely curtailed (witness, I am writing this journal at 1:15am now that I finally have a few moments to myself). I've only had time to write a few poems this year on my other dA name and that's about it.
I appreciate all the new followers I've acquired, and I hope that I can someday soon reward them by finishing one of my series (I've only finished two of all the ones I've started).
So, for the first time ever, I actually got a DD for my poetry the other day. It's always been my short stories that have garnered attention, so I was stunned when I received this one on my other dA name:
If you'd like to see my other DD's, I have one on here (not a TG story, sorry) and a few others on my other name.
I hope everyone is doing well!
Keep it real,
-G

So, we're not going on the Bahamas trip.... because it's in April- a month before the baby is due to arrive. So, the doctor said no international travel for the Mrs.
The good news is that my boss anticipated this and arranged it so that we could on next year's trip to Cabo San Lucas!!!!
Other good news- I was told that I'm going to be promoted about a month after the baby arrives!
Things are just getting better for us, finally.
