Ran across this quote today: "I was working on the proof of one of my poems all the morning, and took out a comma. In the afternoon I put it back again. - Oscar Wilde"

I have so done that! :)

Has it been noticed that ClassicBC is down by anyone?

I have been trying to access it all week and could not. I just finally figured out how to post about it, I don't post new blogs often.

Well, we got some bad news here.

Over the past sixty years the concepts and perceptions about those who do NOT fit the gender identity they were tagged with at birth is slowly changing. Sadly, Harry Benyamin's Gender Dysphoria is still hung onto all boy-girls caught up in the gender blender. In other words, if one doesn't accept their birth sex designation then they are crazy.

I took this from what he says as advice towards creative individuals of any bent. I hope some of you find it interesting. Click the link at the bottom for the entire interview with Mark Waid. For those not familiar with Mark Waid, he's a highly successful comic writer who's worked for all three of the major houses and has his own online publishing house at Thrillbent.

The ad above the quickcuts box is an attempt to find someone of interest to BC readers that would like to help sponsor the site. It's not an attempt to cash in, we really don't need to do that. If you are logged in, you can turn the ad off in your MyAccount settings. Right now, the ad will take you to the Doppler Press page at Lulu where most of the stories in The Hatbox are available, individually priced.

I think I understand Lady Gaga just a little better than I did.

Now, don't get ahead of me, I'm going somewhere with this.

Interesting Huff Post about a family keeping it together.

Last night, I dreamed that my brother was dead. So this morning, I had to call him, just to hear his voice.

That's not too weird, is it?

Thank you.

Catherine Linda Michel... just the editor.

well, I've put up chapter 2 of "Mirror mirror."

Sorry its so short ...

Well, for a few weeks anyway.

First and foremost, I want to thank the community for supporting all the authors who’s ventured into the published ebook field, even myself!

First of all, I'm sorry but the chapters of Winter's Child and Twice Removed that I was hoping to have done today will be a bit delayed since my weekend was a bit crazy. First on Saturday I had to do some gardening and Martin's three year old niece wanted me to play with her pretty much all day long, so I was too tired to do much when we got home late. Then yesterday I had a bit of a breakdown. Ever since I moved to Quebec I've had nothing but problems with finding any sort of work, getting financial assistance, getting consistent medical coverage, a doctor and my prescriptions.

If you are interested, I've found an interesting article on being trans and being a survivor of sex abuse:

Some of you will know it already. Not directly about gender, but about truth and appearance. It is by the English poet, John Masefield.
