Over the years I have had the opportunity to be the recipient of advice from a number of authors I admire, some of which I followed, some I ignored, much to my regret since it cost me a reputation I've yet to recoup. But I never closed my mind to what they had to say. Nor have I slavishly followed one set way of thinking or viewing the world.

Introduction and some personal comments; notes about Abuse

In the last year we've lost Holly Hart to pancreatic cancer. Since her death I've lost a good friend, and the husband of my first cousin to the same scourge. This is such a horrible disease because by the time it's discovered, it is usually too late for the victim. Let's home they can find a solution and cure soon.

Alright, the first 4 chapters plus the extra chapter (which I had originally discarded as stating the obvious regarding some of the plot) is now up on kindle, as "Room in Hell" book 1.

The Spectrum view of Sex and of Gender.

Morning everybody! Has anyone else had a problem with Crystal Hall Forums this morning? I get the page, but it is blank. Refreshing doesn't seem to help.

Here is a story Idea. Warren Buffett is offering One billion Dollars for a perfect March Madness NCAA Basketball March Madness Bracket. That is the correct winner for 67 games. I know there are some basketball lovers amongst our sisters. What could they do with 40 annual payments of 25 million or 500 million lump sum. Rules to be announced on March 3.

Alright, so here is the announcement.

I am watching Fox & Friends Weekends here at work, and they were doing a story about a high school that got rid of white graduation gowns for girls and blue for boys, and after a vote by the students went with maroon for everyone. While discussing this Clayton Morris one of the hosts brought up Facebook and their addition of all the variant genders and orientations they added. Something that at the time he said some disparaging things about.

I ran into another snag with my insurance company.

Well, I'm feeling much better today. Not only has the pain in my stomach subsided, but I got to spend an hour at Erin Payne's house, and got licked to death by her two dogs. Who knew the cure for depression was a couple of fuzzy little critters?

...since the last time I blogged/posted here.

It almost feels like another life, but that is what happens I guess.

I think I mentioned it here, but I know I definitely mentioned it on Facebook. After all the hubbub of the bad review, I received an email from a pastor in Teaneck New Jersey (oh the imagery that comes to mind) who wanted permission to mention my work The Transsexual and the Cross in a blog. I never have issues with that and thought it was nice that he asked. Well, I assumed it was going to be a paragraph or two. It's a few pages and pretty much is a detailed outline of my book. Here is what I posted on FB about it:

I'm trying to keep a lid on the "drama queen" stuff, but I do need to let you guys know I'm struggling keeping tears in check today. I don't know if its the flu I'm fighting, or the fact I think I strained something in my stomach at work last night, or the fact that I forgot I was supposed to go over to a friend's for supper last night and am beating myself up over it, or if its my hormones or if it's my bipolar thing, or if its a combination of the above, but I'm not doing well right now.

All hugs, good wishes, and prayers are appreciated.

Well, the volume of spam has become overwhelming, so I've created a new email account. To all those with the old one, and anyone else interested in corresponding, send me a PM and I'll provide you with the new addy.

In other news, pop over to So Many Thoughts, So Little Mind for an update on my writing progress!

I just wrote a long comment to Katie Leone about why she was seeing so few comments and Kudos for OEM. I read six of the seven chapters today. I had to search for them as the list of chapters at the right of the screen was screwed up.

The same was true of the forward and back controls. Sometimes they were absent, sometimes they gave nonsensical options. Chapter 7, for instance listed chapter 4 for back and chapter 5 for forward.
