So here is the thing... I have started my transformation.... Finally. I am doing it rather slowly, though of course I would prefer just waking up female and skipping the process. Though I think the process is going to be important.

Due to the number of inquiries I've been getting as of late...

A number of people have been asking about writing characters that have already been chosen. Sadly, I have to tell them that those particular ones are unavailable at this time, because other people have chosen them.

There are a number of authors/potential authors that have chosen characters and after a number of months, and in some cases over a year, have posted nothing.

"Here we are again, Jeffrey."

"And advertising ourselves to a mainly American audience with a reference hardly anyone
will understand, Susie - talk about mad men."

"We'll never learn, Jeffrey."

"And neither will they, even if they read the whole of 'Double Trouble', Susie. It's a
ripping yarn, but it'll probably leave them more confused than ever."

"Maybe we should do a silent movie next time, Jeffrey."

"Hello! My name is Inigo Montoya (Juan Pablo Montoya) You killed my Father! (You killed my car) Prepare to die!

Does that help?

I understand that NASCAR doesn't appeal to veery many people, but the GREAT reference, relating the amazing crash at this year's race (Thank God no one was seriously hurt) was, to me, inescapable!

The blog was about the reference to the line from the movie, and its similarity to the crash. NOT about the race. Sigh. Maybe mine is the only small mind amused by little things like this.

Oh well. I tried. I STILL think it's very funny.

During my little "TG-PMS" time, someone said to me my writing comes across as very female. I'm wondering, in what way? What makes a woman writer different from a male one?

Today is February 29:

Rossini's birthday

Gilbert & Sullivan's "Pirates of Penzance" is based on February 29

"The Family Circus debuted

A woman can propose to a man. Irish legend says St. Bridget & St. Patrick made a bargain for that.

And of course, today is Sadie Hawkins Day, an invention of Al Capp

You may add to the list

"Hello Jet Track Dryer. My name is Juan Pablo Montoya. You killed my car. Prepare to die!"

Another great one: How many NASCAR drivers does it take to kill a jet track dryer? Only Juan.

Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all week. Try the veal, tip your waitress.

So, some of the stories here are really long and I can't read them in one setting, so I have been using a marker to mark the position of the slide thingie before I shut down for the night. Before you all laugh at me, how else can I do it? It is really troublesome to find my place again when I come back on line.

I am worried about getting the marks off my screen.

Is there some sort of book mark thingie I can use so I can come back to the right place?

Thank you.

Just keeping people updated because, quite frankly, I could use the support.

My friend is still here and i am still inching ever closer to just going full time, or at least part time with an option for overtime and vacation. It has been decided that thursday we are going for makeovers. At that time I will get a feminine hairstyle (not a unisex one that I can change back and forth). I am also contemplating getting my ears pierced. I just guess I finally got tired of putting up the facade.

To all of those interested I posted a list of all the songs, Groups, Broadway Musicals, Composers, DJs and characters that are in my story, Who Wears Short Short Shorts?

It can be found as a comment to the story. Please pardon the way it looks, but my carefully constructed chart failed to make the transfer from Excell to the site.

Thanks for reading the story, the comments, the P.M.s and the Kudos.

Let's face it, we've all had our off days in writing. Heck, lately that seems to be ALL I've been having.

Given that, some times we just need a little help kickstarting our creativity, right?
