Allow me to extend my appreciation to everybody who has been reading my blog posts over the years, especially in 2022. I feel myself getting better on my path. NOW! I want to share what I want to explore for 2023.
The Chinese government is a fickled thing. They have laws against discrimination against the LGBTQ community, and, yet, they have laws banning games and media that have feminine men in them. Yeah…talk about hypocritical. They don’t even allow any PRIDE Parade anymore because it was “going against the harmony of China”. Nevertheless, I’m still swelling with PRIDE. Let me tell you why.

I’m happy to say that I will be releasing the second installment of the Sexy Entertainer Sitdown series. Who will be the subject of the interview? I’ll give you three hints:
- He had been a part of two video series.
- He was part of the original Andrew Christian crew.
- He’s a Mormon.
Take a guess and you will see if you’re right this Friday when it’s out.
Now, please, don’t forget to follow me on my social media platforms (Twitter, Instagram, and Goodreads) which are on the right side of my web page. Also, I do love hearing suggestions of what books to read outside of my norm (Science fiction and fantasy) as I am a part of the Goodreads’ reading challenge for 2022. My goal is to read 180 books this year and I’m already at 21. I should probably start reviewing these books.

The duality of a narcissistic collapse
Like many many writers, I can find inspiration for stories in almost any source. Movies, TV shows, environments, conversations, memories, altercations, other literary works, and even the feelings from all of those sources. It’s a very common superpower for artists. Now! On occasion, I find music to be a great source of inspiration for story writing. For example, I used “It’s Quiet Uptown” from the musical, Hamilton as the basis for my 27th short story, The Burden of Parenthood (click here). But, before that, I had a song stuck in my head for the longest time.

The duality of soul mates and family obligation
Light To Right Love is one of my favorite short stories for many reasons. One of the main ones is because I got to use another of my galactic races/creations which I plan to use for another project. It’s something I especially like to do since, as I’ve stated before, all LGBTQ+ youths feel like aliens at one point in their life. Another reason for this short being one of my favorites is because of the openness and reality of the storyline. It’s also the first time that I use my twist ending for something good. But, alas, I’m getting ahead of myself because I haven’t told you the main reason why this story is one of my favorites.
The mental stability of a couple is explored after an intense long-overdue fight erupted between the two. However, it stands to reason that one of them is doing better than the other.
It is available for Amazon Kindle.
“I fell in love with you a little bit, in that stupid way where you completely make up a fictional version of the person you’re looking at and fall in love with that person.”

The duality of gay dating apps
It’s the only LGBTQ+ science fiction short story where it was a high school love story. Well…I can’t say a love story per see. “Meet-Cute” is the more accurate term. I’ve always been a fan of that term because we all had it at some point in our lives. More than once for me. So, I wanted to try my hand at creating a story solely revolving around them. That was the sole intention towards Ice Breaker.

The duality of “str8 chaser
What if the homos and heteros HAD to work together to survive?
Fair warning, readers, this has got to be my subtlest political work in the LGBTQ realm of science fiction. However, I must confess that I took the events of my ex-communication of a friend as the inspiration for this one. I spoke to my brother and best friend, Tyler, about it and they felt that it was a story worth telling. But, as usual, I’m getting ahead of myself so let me dial it back and tell you how Can We Ever Be Friends came into existence. It’s actually one of my favorite sources of inspiration.

The duality of coming out
My Best Judy was always meant to be a cute little story about a teenager being guided out of the closet by a gentle soul. So, I took quite a liking to writing this story after meeting a foreign exchange student from Lebanon who I helped realize who he really was in the community. It was a gentle nudge where I got to answer all his questions without poking and prodding into his mental state. This was the very essence I wanted to compass the story around. The “science fiction” part of it came in the oddest of places.
