If you're struggling with me being a girl (Posted on FB)

Just posted this on facebook where my sister-in-law follows my post:

If you are one of the people who are either conflicted or opposed to my transition, I'd like to tell you a few things.

First, Bless you.

You could have easily decided to just cut me out, have nothing more to do with me, but you're sticking around, and that's an amazing thing.

I'm going to assume you care, or you'd be gone, so let me try to explain the biggest thing about this transition.

I'm a better person for doing this.

Somewhere Else Entirely -59-

The time has come for all those gathered at Castle Dekarran to make their various ways home, and for Garia that means other partings... which hit her harder than she expects. With the departure of the royal party it is also time to put her own plans into effect, but a face from the past causes an unexpected surprise.

Somewhere Else Entirely

59 - Parting of the ways

2 Broke Girls

I just saw a commercial for the show 2 Broke Girls (I never heard of the show). The commercial caught my attention with the phrase "lesbian Justin Beiber." It went on with a character saying "I have a secret." The responses are "You are a woman trapped in a man's body" and "You are a little boy trapped in a little girl's body."

Here is the IMDb page of the actor with a secret. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3211555/

Hi
Firstly thank you for all the support, its very reassuring! I am doing my best to finish Nicole in a reasonable time frame without compromising my studies.
As to Ellen Hayes I will say when I wrote this story I Had never heard of Tuck or the author thereof so it's purely a coincidence. I'm working on finishing it well.
Once again thanx for the support!

Wow, what a review

Like always... I check up on things, and just saw a brand new review of God Bless the Child on Amazon.com I can say that I was pleasantly surprised. I got a real lengthy and positive review. It was the second review from a verified purchase (the first being my mom over 7 years ago) but they really went above and beyond. That now makes a total of SIX five-star reviews. I am still looking for 4 more.

Sarah Carerra - 3.25 - Home of the Wildcats

When Stacy's drums and Connor's bass boomed into the darkness the crowd went into a frenzy. I could barely hear the music coming from my earpiece over the roar of the crowd as Jason joined them. Then, with a burst of light around the auditorium the concert began in earnest. Somehow, somewhere, the crowd managed to increase their volume again.

Looking For a (Non-TG) SF Story

Since there are a lot of science fiction fans here, I'm hoping that one of them may be able to tell me the author and title of a short story I read years ago in an anthology. FWIW, it was the last story in that book, introduced by the editor's comment that the author enjoys playing around with story structure.

My guess is that it's from around 1970, from an American writer. (Jack Vance's name came to mind, but I couldn't find anything that looked like it among his story titles.)

It's in three sections. The first begins with the line "this is the end of the story".

The Cure... where did it go

As I often do, because I am anal retentive, the first thing I did when I got home was check to see my reads on my latest story, the cure. I notice that it had been removed from the front page. Is there a reason for this or an oversight? I already feel paranoid.

Inspiration! Precipitation! Perspiration!

It's here, it's here!

You know that next part of Princess For Hire: The Second Semester that I promised, like, months ago?

It's finally written!

I've just sent it off to my official reviewer to read over before I post it, so expect it sometime late today/early tomorrow I guess, depending on how it is received by she.

No, it's not up to my old quality. Yes, it will get better. Heck, to be honest, I'm just glad I managed to sit down and churn out about five and a half pages in one sitting!

Any Drop Dead Diva Fans?

Just finished the season finale. I don't want to spoil it for anyone, but would love to dish about the finale and what it portends for next season. Are there any other fans? I figure a day or two before it would be okay to post what happened, and give fans a chance to watch it. :)

Tut tut... it looks like Rain

Hey... guess what... It's raining again. :D

I just thought I would state the obvious and let you know that I posted the next chapter of 300 Rains. I am already working on the next chapter, as I said earlier, so there will be more of this. As you can see, the thot plickens. Who knows what is going on now? What madness is this? Poor Melanie has to wear another hat. Yay! So, clearly I have not been idle in my down time. There will be more, never fear. The end is drawing near and soon Melanie will be able to find out answers to all of her questions.

Snap, Crackle and Pop?

Snap, crackle and pop may be good sounds to hear in your breakfast cereal, but not so much when its your body making it.

Yesterday, I noticed that my left shoulder makes some ugly noises when I try and rotate the arm, and things only seemed to spread from there.

First it went to my neck, actually causing me pain when I tried to stretch at work, and then my knees started doing it too, almost blinding me with pain.

Thank God for painkillers, but I'd prefer to have not too many days like that if there is a better choice.

Ah, well.

What Foods You Eat IS Important!

I've blogged and commented about how some foods, that are greatly enjoyed by characters in many stories, are unhealthy. I've singled out bacon, because of it's additives, it's fat content and it's high heat preparation. I'm not really trying to save American Hogs; I'd rather help out and reduce the suffering of BCTS readers.

I Can't For The Life Of Me Remember The Name

So, I recently started a new story (because NONE of the ones I'm already working on seem to be holding my attention lately) only to sit down and start reading a story yesterday that already uses a major theme from the story I'm writing. Not that such a thing is unexpected, mind you, I just would have preferred if it hadn't been something that's currently going up.

So, while I'm moping about that, I decided to read a bit. Except, I can't find the story I wanna read. Can ya'll help me?

This story is based in part on something that happened to my brother, I added the TG plotline.
Thanks to John in Wauwatosa and PB for their assistance, as always what is posted is my decision.

I paused eating to watch the girls, well some young and some not-so-young women as they buzzed around taking care of the morning rush. One saw me watching and flashed a quick smile before grabbing the next order from the counter to hand out the drive-thru window. Almost everybody knew me, I was there every morning. Either stopping by on the way to work for a sausage & egg biscuit or stopping in and eating scrambled eggs and hash browns when I wasn’t working.

Working retail blows! But not this weekend.

Woohoo!!! I am off the whole weekend! We are now fully staffed no more 12 hour days. Woohoo!!! Did I say that already. The family will be gone during the day on both Saturday and Sunday. Woohoo!!! Blessed peace and quiet me time. I want to work on some story ideas to post and take lots of naps! Woohoo!!!

Made a good impression at work last night

Well, last night we had a new manager (dont know it this is a permanent thing or temporary) and I managed to make a good impression with my speed, my flexibility,, and my willingness to jump in wherever needed.

Then this afternoon I overslept and had to really hurry to get to pick up Sam on time and not ONCE did I berate myself, which would be the norm before. Instead I just did my best, and she was there just before I got there and everything was fine.

I think I'm starting to get some traction, and its all due to liking the person I see in the mirror, both physically and otherwise.

Just FYI

The next chapter of 300 Rains is written and I have started on the following chapter. Once I edit it I will be ready to post it. It won't be tonight or tomorrow as I have a party tonight and tomorrow is my birthday. So I have things to do. But when I get to it you have another chapter of that and then I will finish up K&K 7. More happiness on the horizon for you all. Yay!

How Girls and Women Really Speak (with link, below)

Like many BCTS authors, I work hardest at making my characters' dialogue sound real and unique to each character. Sometimes readers call me on the carpet, the usual complaint being that "real people don't talk that way". I believe they do; I constantly eavesdrop --especially at malls and schools--and listen critically to the word-choice and sentence structure and the general flow of real people speaking.

What's in the works

Ok... I've decided that I want to be a professional writer. What, with three really good novels already completed (The God Bless the Child trilogy) I think I have a good foundation. As for the original book GBTC I have it available on Amazon, Lulu, and now Smashwords (After 2 hours of trying to figure out the editing and resizing the title page).

Wren is editing Growing Up Jenny (I hope I get an update).

Save the SciFi

I discovered this site very recently, and thought some folks here might be interest: Save the SciFi

According to their blog, they are trying to get the publishing rights to old science fiction novels that are long out of print, with little expectation to be reprinted/published in the future. What's cool, is that people can join their club and get the right to vote on what is published next (in addition to getting a free copy of one book each month in ebook format).

A Husband/Companion

As the years pass, it becomes increasingly painful and lonely to not have a husband/ companion. The need to talk this out and think about the practicality of the idea has grown really clear to me. So, earlier tonight, as I was out riding, I began to consider who that I know could offer the best council.

The Mormon Church has been wonderful to me; supportive, dependable and gentle. But are they my family? They say they are, and in the next months they will have the chance to show it.
