A rant is not fiction.

I'm really excited today. I finally finished a part of my writing and posted it.

I'm truly happy to see so many celebrating Mother's day. Mothers go through a lot bringing a new life into the world, nurturing that child, then sending them out to stand on their own two feet. Bravo

BUT

I would much prefer it to be "Mommy's Day." Any genetic female with all her pieces parts working correctly can become a mother. It takes someone special to be a Mommy.

WHY do I hate it? It is widely acknowledged that my soon-to-be-ex wife never was, never will be a Mommy. She freely admits this.

Back in January 2011, I couldn't believe I'd written episode 1234 of Bike. I wondered if I'd get to 2345. Now I know the answer. Why? is probably best not asked. Astonishingly, there are one or two people still reading it - still, there's no accounting for taste.

My best wishes to all my readers and thank you for encouraging and supporting me this far. I'm not making any predictions about 3456 even I might have run out of ideas by then - or will I?

Hugs,

Angharad

I read an article on CBS News that I thought would be of interest to those around here.

Dana International won EuroVision in 98. She had a long hard emotionally bruising fight getting to the contest and then another to win. However if one read the story of her life they would understand why this amazing woman never quit. Her music is outlawed in most Muslim nations and yet is the most pirated music in those same nations. She sings and speaks fluently four languages.

Many years back Broken Cup was written and inspired by Miss International and all those like her. To know and experience the world is to be able to write about it even if we write in fiction for fun.

finally and after more than 3 years I have reached the milestone I have reached the milestone of 100 Kudos points for a story.(Out of the Ashes, Part 1)

This is about the Canadian Target Stores; but should be a caution to our american brothers and sisters

The other day someone brought up a name that I knew but haven't heard in quite a while publicly.

That name was Wanda Cunningham.

Well, Jaci is gonna have a laugh about this, but last night, I was talking to a co-worker about my transition, and I mentioned how nervous I was starting out.

Her response?

I ran across this today while looking for information for a story. Since I know others have requested information about space travel and the craft to get you there I thought I would give everyone a heads up! Yes, Gwen I'm talking about you! :) I have no idea as the accuracy but it does seem to go over the basics.

Hey, they mention Heinlein and Clarke so they can't be wrong can they!

For those of you who have been following my blog for the last week know I've been doing some kind of weird experiment on Amazon.

Just received a call from Louisiana, well that's what Caller I D said. Answered and guy called saying he was from the IT department. Yeah we've heard them going around and yes his accent was pretty bad. Said he was calling about my computers operating system. I asked what type of computer I had. Sorry I'm not in the mood to play their little shit game. He said it didn't matter I have Windows OS. I asked what version, said it didn't matter, was the reply. I started on him like crap to the wall. Either he tells me what 'type' of computer I have else he ain't getting crap.

This should be of interest to anyone who is publishing or is thinking of publishing on Kindle. Is there a bigger market for TG fiction than we think, that question should be answered in part today.

I´ve just seen some basketball match on TV and had funny idea. What if some disortographic wizard misspelled basketball as bastetball? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bastet) What would consequences be? Would all players turn into furry cats playing with ball? How would they cope? I´m quite tempted to turn this into story somehow... though I´m not sure if it is enough as story base. What do you think? I´d appreciate your comments.
Thank you.

I love and respect so many of you. Those of you that have not been able to transition and live like I have are the brave, courageous ones. There is nothing brave about transitioning and having surgery. I just did what I wanted to do. It is you that sacrificed to keep the lives you have that are brave.
