If I could be where you are

If I could be where you are

Where are you in this moment
Only in my dreams
You’re missing but you’re always
A heartbeat from me
I’m lost now without you
I don’t know where you are
I keep watching, I keep hoping
But time keeps us apart

Is there a way I can find you
Is there a sign I should know
Is there a road I could follow
To bring you back home

Winter lies before me
Now you’re so far away
In the darkness of my dreaming
The light of you will stay
If I could be close beside you
If I could be where you are
If I could reach out and touch you

my muse has gone

Well, the creative crash I expected to hit after I finished my novella "Quest" finally hit, and after a couple or month of unbelievable output my muse has decided to take a break. Look up your daughters and wives, cause when she goes on the town, she usually ends up doing something I wish she wouldnt ...

Ah, well.

Programs for writing

OK.. I admit it. I'm new to writing and would like some peoples opinion.

While I am working on my story I found that its almost impossible to keep track of my characters along with the story line. I'm not trying to do a SOTP story. I know where I'm going and all.

I've seen some programs that help with the structure, design and such. So what what programs do you guys use? Besides word that is.

The Bodysuit In Fiction

I have been using the all-purpose bodysuit in my stories to give my characters the bodies that they crave. Now, I know that such an invention would not be made due to the impact on medicine and society as well, it makes for a great story.That is why I am posting a story where it is first made, and why.

We pulled into the garage at Tim’s house, still feeling the rush from the vision we'd shared. I felt so relaxed and stress-free. I’m glad we were at his parent’s place, because I had a feeling that as good as I felt, and as close as my heart was to Tim, I might do something I could regret later.

Please help rename this story.

I would love some help with a story of mine, "Battle Field to Crib". So many people, including myself think that story title is well, lame. So, I would like some suggestions on a new name.

I think I am going to greatly extend this story to 2 or 20 chapters, and if I decide to try my luck selling anything on Amazon or where ever, it will likely be this story, after I publish it here. I like the sweet, gentle story line.

need new editor (again)

Well I had it happen again. My second editor, Loki, the one who thoroughly understood the Whately Academy and Bleach universes has told me that due to IRL issues, he can no longer be my editor. The irony is he was exactly the editor I needed. So I ask for a third editor hoping that I get it this time. I need someone who isn't going to write off parts of the story I make as 'silly, goofy, and ridiculous' but who is going to see them as part of the universe. I also need a editor who is at least up to date with the Bleach dub (ep 257) or is beyond it.

Sorry - too late to do Bike tonight.

Apologies to all Bike fans, but I was late in from work (worked nearly 12hours) and then got caught with a long phone call from a friend who needed some reassurance. It's now nearly 11.30pm BST so too late to start scribbling, so I'm off to bed, normal service should resume tomorrow.

some help, if possible

In a few weeks I go for my first appointment for HRT. I am anxious about it, but feel that it needs to be done. My therapist is under the theory that I won't know what my next step after HRT is until I am actually on hormones and I'm inclined to agree with him. There are a lot of hindrances in my journey, mostly my concern about how other people will view me and if I'll be labeled a freak. But it is still a step.

memorable moments in Comics

In honor of the new Spider-man movie, I wanted to share some of the comics that have stuck with me.

Crisis on Infinite Earths - The first real deliberate ret-con in my lifetime was in my opinion, one of the most amazing comics written. The most memorable moment? At the last part of the last issue, the villain Psycho Pirate is locked up, and he says, "You never know who will die, and who will live."

Bears Know Best - Part 5

Bears Know Best

Part 5 of 28
by Tiffany Shar

Edited by Carla Ann

Thirteen year-old Taylor Landt’s step-mother believes that he should be the next great football player for the high school he’ll be attending in the fall. Having a dad who is an accomplished professional linebacker, and growing up surrounded by professional football coaches and players should all but guarantee his ability to dominate on the field. Unfortunately he hates playing football, and knows his height and build will never allow him to be successful at the sport. Faced with an obsessive step-mother who ignores his obvious talents in other areas but instead thinks he is a blight on his father’s reputation, Taylor does the unthinkable and moves to Ohio to live with his mother who abandoned their family and left him with his father eight years ago.

Soon after his arrival, Taylor discovers there’s more to his inability to follow in his fathers’ footsteps than just his height. Will it be possible for him to make friends in a new town in the middle of nowhere outside the shadow of his dad's fame? Will Taylor be able to finally make peace with his mother who abandoned them all those years ago? And how long can he keep his secrets to himself?

Experimenting with my look

think I've reached a point in my journey where I feel confident enough to try out different looks to see what one suits me best. For example, I've been wearing a very subtle plum shade of nail color, and today I decided to try a bold red instead. I'm also looking at hairstyles, to see what I can do with that as well, although I still have a bit of thinness at the front that I would like to cover over as much as it can be.

I think a good step forward for me, and kinda fun besides.

A very BIG thank you to all my readers!!

I'd like to say a really big thank you to all the people that took the time to read, comment and Kudos on my 'To Make A Wish' story. I have been busy writing new stories, and one will be replacing 'To Make a Wish', so sadly you won't be getting much of a break from my writing (please feel free to run away screaming now)
I'd also like to say a super big thank you to SamanthaK for putting up with me and my writing, as without her help, I would have given up on my writing more times than I can count. Thank you Sammi *big Hug*

Updated 2015/9/15 re: neospecies featured in "Nora and the Nomads", and other telepathic neospecies

Before I start talking about the world in which my stories “Butterflies are the Gentlest” and “A House Divided” are set (warning: this will contain spoilers for those stories), let me clear up a couple of possible misunderstandings. This isn’t exactly a “story bible” like the writers of Star Trek episodes or tie-in books have to religiously adhere to, or a set of “rules” like those that ElrodW wrote for his MAU setting.

Strani Amori

Strani Amori

I'm sorry I have to go away
But I knew that was a lie
How much time lost behind him
What a promise and then never changes
Strange loves that bring trouble
But, in reality, we love each one

An expect to a phone call
the adventure of the illogical
the madness of the magical
a poison without antidote
the bitterness of the ephemeral
just because he is not there

Strange love, fragile
captives also accomplice
Strange love, problematic loves
as you do, as I do

I'm sorry I have to go away
But I knew that was a lie
This time I promised I'll do

'To Make a Wish' will be late this week.

This is just a quick message to let everyone that is still reading my 'To make a wish' story, that it will be a little late being posted this week. SamanthaK is busy today, and won't be back home until late, and she does all the proofing, editing, posting and a load of other stuff that makes it so you can all understand what I write.

why do I still struggle with my identity?

Why do I still struggle with my identity? Well, there are a few reasons why. First, because there is nothing feminine in my body - no intersex condition, no lack of testosterone, none of that, which keeps me wondering where does this fem thing come from?

Second, because of my rape and other nasty events in my life, I would be a good candidate for gender issues if environment plays any role at all, so the question becomes, "Would I feel the same if I had been blessed with some positive male role models?"

I’d had a particularly difficult day. It’s really hard to explain, but I’ve been working with my understanding of these new perceptions. Sometimes it’s a strain, and it gives me a nasty headache. It wasn’t going to be hard to get rid of (I hoped), I just had to meditate for a while and let my body deal with the pain.

Blade Runner, The Final Cut

I just watched the last approx. 50 min. of Blade Runner, The Final Cut (2007), which I'd not seen before. I thought it was much longer the the original US theatrical version, but I looked it up; it's only one minute longer, 117 min. vs 116 min.

In the last part of the film, everything was happening more slowly and dramatically. The ending, with Deckard (Ford) and Rachael (Sean Young) driving north on the Pacific Coast Highway, was cut. There may have been other scene missing to give more time to the slower action.

23 million hits!

I've just noticed on the hit counter at the bottom of the page that we've now exceeded 23 million hits (plus an extra 9,000) since 16th June 2005. Yay us! :D

That works out at about 3 ¼ million hits per year, nearly 9,000 hits per day, 370 hits per hour or 6 hits per minute (have I ever mentioned I like playing around in spreadsheets?)

As the sun set, it cast a glow through the trees that were reflected in the mirror, and what I saw made me feel a bit better about what was happening. I once again checked myself in the mirror, still shocked at how I looked. The dress was snug but not tight, my legs looked long and sexy, my makeup wasn't overdone, and my hair looked perfect to me. It took a bit to get used to the longer nails and the heels, but I finally managed to figure it out. "Susan" I had been dubbed by my mother for that night.

wishing I had someone to hold me while I shake

The worst part of not being in a relationship right now? Not having someone to hold me while I shake during a PTSD moment.

They're scary sometimes, and hurt all the time, and I ache afterward, but the worst part is going through them alone, when all you want is someone to put their arms around you so you can feel safe.

I love my online friends, and I'm super grateful for their support, and I've been pretty lucky at finding someone to talk to when things have been bad, but I ache sometimes for a pair of actual arms around me, holding me and supporting me.

Ah, well.

Schools like to think they are preparing their charges for the world outside the classroom and for many years have been making the students get a taste of what they might like to do once they leave the education system.
Joe enjoys the taste and can't stop going back for more

Every time I think of SRS I cry

Since the possibility of me being able to get SRS has gone up, I find I've been reacting super emotionally to the subject. I tear up talking about it, and even just writing about it is hard because I start crying. I'm scared of the pain, the discomfort, the whole thing, but I want it, I NEED IT ....

Oh crap. Here comes the water works ....
