Is it ok to write Gothic Romance?

 One of things I usually end up writing about usually involve writing about dark gothic romantic stories. It has been a theme I've been basically writing for most of my life.

Honestly, I found a comfort in this style of writing but I have always seem to fight it as well. I often wonder why I am this way and is it bad?

I pray about it all the time. I recently looked back at some of my old writing and compare it with what I have been currently working on. And to be honest, it has really open my eyes and noticed feelings I didn't think I could have.

I've also noticed how detailed I can be when it comes to some of the things I had written and what currently working on. To be honest, I really enjoy writing it, but I am scared that I am being a weirdo or a creep.

Looking back I realized that one of the reasons why I enjoy writing gothic romance is the fact that I wish I could be like some of the characters I write about and it has really made me notice feelings that I never thought I have.

But there is a problem with all of this. I want to write and publish stories like this, but I am scared with how people will view me especially women. A lot of it comes from what I have dealt with in the past and now that I have been trying to face those issues, it has brought back some feelings and I am trying to handle those issues.

I am not really sure how to explain it, but writing these stories has brought something out of me that I didn't think I had and I want to explore more about these feelings.

For me, I am just trying to find out who I am and more importantly find self-acceptance and love. I pray that God understands because I can't lie to myself but more importantly I can't lie to him.

I wish I had more confidence to be more open with what I am trying to say. Maybe in time. Sorry if I am being weird, but I felt I needed to write about this. Hopefully as I continue on this journey, I will finally understand and have the confidence to be more open.

God Bless and Be Safe!

Lewistown Area High School Class of 2009

 I can't believe it has been 15 years since me and Chad have graduated from Lewistown Area High School back in 2009. High school was a very interesting time for not just myself, but for many of us who had attended, mainly because usually times at high school is the time of getting to know ones self and discover who they are and what there place is in this world. Being a teenage to becoming a young adult can be very challenging to a lot of people during this time in life. Especially with dealing with all sorts of different emotions that we didn't understand before. Sadly, there are also a lot of young people who struggled to figure things out during their time in high school and I was certainly one of those people.  I mention this because recently I found and looked back through my yearbook when I graduated from Lewistown and it was pretty cool to see some old faces especially now that I am older and learned so much about myself. The only problem about this is I wish I knew what

The Wacky Adventures Of Joshua and Chad: McVeytown Eagles Championship Parade!

Image
Well tonight was a pretty special night down here in McVeytown as Chad and I along with many other people who live here in McVeytown all came together to celebrate a special accomplishment. And that was how all three of the McVeytown Eagles teams made it to the CKYFL championship games. Winning in both the Peewee and Midget divisions and placing second in the Mighty Mights. Stuff like this doesn't happen often in such a small town where I live so to see these kids have the time of their lives during the parade was certainly a sight to see. One of the things I love about covering sports is when I see kids learn, work hard and turn it into success. And these kids were learning a lot throughout the season and watching them grow and not only become better football players, but better people as well.  Which is why I have really enjoyed covering the CKYFL these last few years for Hometown Sports. People like Travis McCullough who is the President of the league along with Adam Weaver, Rob

What's going on? Being honest with ourselves!

 I don't like to cause any problems with anybody but there have been a lot of things that I been wanting to get off my chest for a very long time now. And that is in my humble opinion people don't seem to want to be honest about really anything anymore. Now, I could be just a little paranoid, maybe my anxiety is getting the best of me or whatever. But as time has past I have been getting a weird feeling all over me. You see, I just feel as though people no one is really being honest with each other, themselves or to God anymore. I wish I could describe it better but it has been a concern of mine for quite a long time now and I feel like it is getting worse. People would always say things to me like, Josh it is just a different time. But honestly, I think that is just a lame excuse. And the reason I say that is because a lot of those same people who say that kind of stuff to me are the exact same people who then say that they don't understand how things around us are getting
