Darnit another nap and tada another story unfolds....

It was every boys dream to be in a pirate movie. Ok well not really but to me it certianly was. To get to visit the Pirates of the Carrabian movie shooting set of port royal was so great. I saved for months to go down there. I watched every movie of it like so many times I had gone through 3 dvd players and a dozen copies of dvds.

But here I was finally. I was soo excited and today on the tour it was announced that for a fee we could get dressed in period clothing and go around in it. I was in heaven!

I hate muses. Can someone PLEASE tell this muse to leave me in peace. I cannot seem to be able to read more than a paragraph of any story. No this this thing insists I continue to write. I can't play my games, nor watch a movie, nor even sleep. Tis not fair!

Gosh blast it to the depths of heck twill nay let me even swear as I must be a *LADY*

Signed a damsel in distress Oh come on already!

Well, I just got home from seeing the gender specialist. He's going to send a letter to my work asking them to respect me enough to include my female name on my name tag. Otherwise, things are going well. I told him about my flashbacks, and he gave me a prescription for Ativan to help me calm myself if I'm having one. I dont know about meds, but it might be better than trying to handle it on my own.

I came so close. I was only able to wite 48,500 words for NaNoWriMo

It was the week of Thanksgiving that killed it. I had to spend so much time with family and food that I wasn't able to write.

My spouse would kill me if I suggested that I try again next year. I guess I was missed.

I did get a LOT written. 8 chapters of HaP are done, but not exactly edited. and I finshed off Nano.

Hope you give 'Healing a Princess' a chance. I see that some people are reading it. I just wish that they would give a little feed back even though it isn't a TG story.

Has anyone heard from Zoe Taylor at all in w while.I love her stories "Becoming Robin" & "Shadowcraft:Aria Blade" & I was wondering when the next chapter's are going to be coming out,u know what I mean????

I have gotten into the ebook world a bit late (smartphone screens are hard on my older eyes) but I recently loaded Amazon's Kindle app onto my android tablet.

While searching for (ahem) favored types of stories, I found one entitled "Feminized Harem Slave" attributed to one Austin Logan. I downloaded the teaser excerpt only to find that, with the names changed, it is my story "The Sultan's Heir". I know this because ONLY the names have been changed - searching on text strings from my story shoot directly to the same spot in THAT story.

I had a funny moment at the bank today. I went in to get cash for my mom, as I am now paying rent here, and the clerk took my card, looked at the male name, looked back at me, and went "But... but.. your hair, your ....." So to save her, I told her I was transitioning, and the card was in my legal name. She got the money for me, and I thanked her for making my day. Funny, yes?

Got the internet straightened out so we can go online again. The newest Through the years is up now and I'm working the kinks out of the next couple as I type.

I had a very interesting conversation this morning. I am finishing up a graduate degree at a local university. This morning while waiting for a class to start, a girl I know pretty well from my program comes up to me and asked me "Listen, this might be a bit forward but can I ask you something kind of personal? You can say no of course, but I'm curious." Of course it's rarely good when someone opens a conversation like that, but not totally new to me. I have a very obvious physical disability, so I get curious people brave enough to come ask a few questions from time to time.

Just returned from a conference for trans issues in the workplace. Light refreshments provided, lots of networking, and many, many transmen and women to share experiences and advice with. Still buzzing!

For many many years now I have had similar dreams from time to time.

It always starts in familiar place which then turns more and more unknown till I'm complete lost and wake up.

In one version I'm in school or college with my classmates and after some time I don't recognice the rooms and floors any more and don't find my way back.

In another one I'm parking my car in my home town and visit some places with friends or family. Then towards the end I cannot find the street with my car or search all around the parking garage before waking up.

If your main comment about a story is that you don't like the genre, theme, premise or morals of the characters, then you don't have a comment, you have a complaint.

It's not criticism, it's simple whining that someone did not write a particular story to fit your requirements. Get over it and go read something else.

Well, I had the worst flashback I have ever had. I'm still shaky. About the only good thing to come out of it was the story I just submitted.

Sounds like a car pool, doesn't it? Well, in this case Stu is for Stewart Copland, Andy is Andy Summers, and Gordon? Gordon Sumner, AKA Sting. I had The Police going full blast all the way home this morning, and just sang along as I drove. Fun.
