Well, last night I managed to have a serious brain fart that's going to have me eating crow for a while.

so anyway …

A little back ground on me first, those of you that read my blog regularly know I am about 5'8" and about 230 pounds. I am working on the weight thing. I am Hispanic and since I was twelve have had facial hair and I mean ab lot like a five o'clock shadow at eleven in the morning, not a trait I am proud of and one I wish I didn't have. Nobody other than my friend FO knows about me and I present as very male, you could find a B2 bomber on radar before you figure me out. It comes from years of hiding in plain sight.

Just got back from vacation yesterday. Had a great time at the Oregon coast. Lots of time watching the surf, walking the beach and reading on my nook.

so anyway …

I have had a few bad days, with some nastiness from colleagues based largely on being different. For the first time in years, I threw a 'sickie', calling in sick when I wasn't. I should add that my sick record is now three days off in seven years. Not bad, so I feel no guilt. The pressure that drove me was mainly having to deal with men who are Real Men, and want their way all of the time. Apparently, their penises are extremely large.

I am thinking of adding a few more stories to my e-book collection. I would like to be prolific. I know Wren has already proofed and edited Growing Up Jenny. I will probably add that to the e-books in November. By the way, I could use cover art for that one, if anyone is really interested in doing professional quality graphics.

So... Here is my plan for the next e-books and editors needed for each, in the order I would like to release them.

I will try to get something written for today, as well as tomorrow, but I might be a little behind. I had a couple of projects come in that I am working on for other people.

Sometimes, I get ideas in my head and I say to myself, I say "Keith," Keith is the name I was given at birth and the one I generally go by outside of online (otherwise known as real life), "this is brilliant and sure to work. Your problems will be solved and you can go on to whatever next big thing is on the horizon."

So, a few months ago, I hatched a plan. I saw how it was suppose to play out, and, like most things, I planned to see it through.

Does anyone know hairstyles well?
I'm looking for a medium-long length style that is slightly feminine, but could pass for androgynous and would be appropriate for work.
Also what would I would need to ask for such as perm, ect, and about how much will it cost?

Well, last night I got to work a little early, and there was a teen girl who works as a cashier on the evening shift in the back on a break who decided completely out of the blue that I was just the right person to ask for advice about a boy at school.

I listened, and thought, and then gave her my advice:

Be yourself.

Be awesome, be real, be smart, be goofy, be nerdy, be super feminine or a tomboy when the mood strikes you.

Dont try and impress him.Try and impress yourself.

Dont be afraid to take the first move but be prepared that he could reject you.

Be okay with that.

Well, I've been able to write more. I have more chapters of the stories I have been writing coming.

Sgt. Greg of the Sissy Series has a new chapter coming. I got about 35% of it written and just have to keep going.
More Catwoman. I have about 15% of the next Catwoman story coming.
I have more Maid to be a Man with Maid Mia done, it just has to be edited now. It's 100% of Chapter 5, about 15% of Chapter 6.

Other than that, working and doing what I need to.

Okay it's a given I wuz a weird kid. Anyway, see I was poking about on various forums I visit and came across this one. It has absolutely nuthin' to do with TG but is pure Rock n Roll in the classic sense. A tribute to Deep Purple Machine Head by a bunch a contemporary guys and this one is the bees knees. That means damn good, okay.

Okay since Shaun.v has already kinda sorta mentioned FreeRIDErs, I'll go ahead and put in my two cents. FreeRIDErs is a series of stories that is currently being posted over at Shifti.org. It takes place in the far future on another planet called Zharus which is a type of super-earth. Bigger than Earth but with similar gravity due to lesser density.

It is very much an anime style tale with animal styled powered-armor that uses nanites to help merge the AI armor and human pilot into one form. There are a lot of gender changes in the stories as a whole, although not every story has TG.

So anyway ....

I am not sure how many readers might like or want this, but I added a link to a PDF version of my Whisper story on the Whisper Title Page.

One of these days I will have to find someone willing to draw me a "book cover" since I am reluctant to try using "free" images found on the web.

Happy birthday Bronwen Welsh, I wish you all the happiness you deserve, and have many more returns of the day, From one good friend to another, With love Carla Bay:):)
