Hi there, Wishful Thinking page 2 is about to go up in about five hours, I hope you enjoy it, believe me things will start to make sense soon - promise.

well, I had a productive day off today. I took a load of my old boy clothes to a charity, and then took my bottles to the depot to be recycled. The lady at the depot called me Ma'am, which was a nice touch. Then I took the money I had made and got a pedicure done, which really made me very happy, even if I found the lady who worked on me rather brusk. The end result of it was I now have radioactive pink toenails, which will keep me smiling for a bit.

Nice to actually get some stuff done, you know?

I'm back from Germany where I've been travelling around the east with my Dad and Gaby!

Oh yeah i was doing some bike ride thing too wasn't I? Well i completed my 5th 200km (125 mile) Spreewald Marathon in a little under7.5 hours including stops and a puncture! That was preceded by a so so 8km time trial where i managed 43rd in my age group and 145th overall out of 223 participants.

Normal service will be resumed shortly!

Last night on TV, Dancing With The Stars featured a young ballerina. Born in dire circumstances in Sierra Leone, West Africa, she was adopted and arrived in the US, diseased and scarred by her young life. But she wanted to become a dancer, her mother said. The girl has trained all of her life and eventually received a scholarship to the American Ballet Theatre and there she was, dancing on national television.

Did her parents tell her, “You’re too young to know that you want to be a dancer”?

Long day today cut down and tree at a friends place. Piled the logs and cut up all the brush.. by myself. Then took a number of parts off some cars.

Tommorow is a rest day for me so I can kick back relax and maybe get that darn chapter of The mysterious case out and maybe another chapter of some other stories im working on.

SaraUKs TMAW chapter will be posted later tonight as I've got to go help a friend for a few hours.

Once upon a time there was a small child, and like all children do they dreamed there dreams and played there games, But something was different, this child didn't play the games that other People thought they should, they didn't act the way others thought they should. The Child didn't know they were different, other children played the games they played and dreamed the dreams they did, If others could then why can't I.

yesterday at work while I was in the washroom, I stood up, and for a moment saw myself pants down in the mirror, seeing everything. I dont think I could possibly explain how ugly that part of me seems to me, how ... wrong it feels to have male parts.

I actually cried at the sight.

Sigh.

Found this picture somewhere on the web ages ago. Not sure if this is really cool or creepy. I think I’ll say cool! :D Just shows the wonders of makeup eh? Even if its a photoshop (a good one at that) its still an awesome pic!

... but one thing was the same. We also called ant lions doodlebugs, so I don't think it was strictly an Arkansas thing.

I never worked the cotton fields around Fresno, CA, but did do some agricultural work with many of my friends in the same time frame, 1950-1954, when I was 6-10.

Does anyone use this application and are any good with it?
it is called sculptris and its free

My new book, "Role Of A Lifetime", should be available at Amazon in the next few hours. They've assured me the glitches I saw in the preview aren't there, so I have to trust them.

And trust you! For those of you who commented and wrote me that you prefer Kindle versions, please let me know if your copy is okay. If you've read my other books, you have them for comparison, for formatting, table of contents, and so on. The general look of the thing. If there's anything amiss, I'll fix it.

well, I planned to meet a friend for lunch today, so I got a little femmed up for the occasion - skirt, hose, heels, necklace, lipstick and eye shadow. I had a nice lunch, and am doing my laundry with no hurry to change into pants for work. Its hard for me to explain to someone who isnt trans how .... nice a feeling this is.

OK this is my first blog ever so I might mess it up, I'm GreatSage and me, Michelous and Crystal Ash have just released page one of our new Webcomic.
It is called Wishful Thinking 2.0 and tells the story of Riley, and his wacky friends dealing with Riley's magical transformation into a girl.
here is a link to it on Smack Jeeves, I hope that you enjoy it.

I posted quite a long comment on the 'Out of Canada' blog today, but it was about something that deserves a wider discussion. I came across rather a good link which sympathetically addresses the issues involved, and gives quite a lot of detail and history.

went to a bible study run by my brother's church last night. It was pretty good, and they called me Dorothy without hesitation. Not sure what they thought about the whole thing, it simply never came up. But the end result is I got what I want more than anything else - to treated like the woman I am.

All in all, not bad.

There is a new Karin Bishop book: "Role Of A Lifetime"

It's available now in all formats at Smashwords here (some folks have complained about Smashwords being tough to navigate):

Having a little difficulty with the Amazon Kindle version, but should have things ironed out there in a day or two. In the meanwhile, Kindle versions are available at Smashwords, as well as EPUB, PDF, and other formats. And it's only $4.99!

Here's the synopsis:

Meh. I had originally intended, and openly written about, calling chapter 49 of Somewhere Else Entirely "A Day of Ceremonies". Fool! I ought to have known better! Some of my minor characters had other ideas...

So, everything suddenly exploded on me, as unintended consequences frequently do.
