A decision about Through the years

Okay, I have received several messages about my typos and I agree with all of you. When I write I move fast because I tend to forget stuff quickly. So when an idea hits, I type like the wind. I may also be partly dyslexic. I thank each and every one of you who have point out my mistakes, because let's face it, I haven't caught them.

But I was thinking of going back and fixing hte typos in the posted ones and was wondering if that would be fine. I really don't want to submit them all over again.

Through the years: Tracy emerging part 3

“We need to get going. Troy will be checking out here shortly.” Maggie said, moving the chair past Mary Beth.

The young girl began walking with them. “Are you going to be in school Monday?”

“Maybe. It depends on how I feel by then.” Tracy replied.

“So what happened?” The girl asked again.

“I'd rather not talk about it. It's kinda personal.” Tracy said.

“So it's true? Bruce cut your...well you know, your thingy off.” She blushed as she said it.

Tracy's cheeks went just as red. “Who said that?” She asked.

“I heard it someplace.” The girl replied as she looked to the floor.

Maggie chuckled. “No, he didn't cut it off. If he had, Troy would be dead.”

Two years three hours

Wow... I've been a member for two years, where has the time gone?

Thank you all so much, for being such a wonderful, accepting, caring group of people. A true community in every important sense.

As my anniversary gift to myself, I'll post the next chapter in "Out of the Ashes" this weekend. Or... soon.

...ish :)

Just Swimmingly

Mary reached the door of the change room, and hesitated. She stood there, rocking back and forth from one foot to the other for several minutes before Alice came up and took her hand.

"What's wrong, hon?" Alice asked.

"I can't. They'll all see ...." Mary said.

"They wont notice a thing. Come on. "

Finally, Alice took Mary's hand, and led her into the change room. Once inside, Alice began taking of her street clothes, while Mary watched. Alice looked at her, and said, "what, hon?"

My first posted story.

This is to express a new story I have in mind. It will be very short and coming in the next week or two. After that there will be a halt for a while as I'll be starting on classes and other things.
I will be adding to the Crescent City Universe created by The Professor, adding more types and some great little wrinkles that fit right in. I have asked The Professor and received permission so I really hope you like it.
This will likely end up a side story, fitting into it but not directly tying into anything with Cassie.

The Rioter's Tale

The Rioter’s Tale.
By Angharad.

I walked past the bridal shop every day. The woman who owned it changed the display every second week–possibly to prevent exposure to sunlight of the dresses inside. I stopped and looked in the window and drooled each time I went past. I just love wedding dresses and these were some to die for, not that I’d ever wear one. First, they were worth hundreds if not thousands of pounds; second, I’m not even in a relationship let alone engaged to be married; third, my birth certificate says boy.

Somewhere Else Entirely -31-

Garia tells the Council of the Two Worlds what she remembers about the AntiKythera device and they draw some interesting conclusions. Later, Keren has a near miss, Robanar makes a decision, plans for the festival are made and Garia and Merizel visit Mistress Yolda once more.

tough stuff to wade through

Those of you who have read chapter one of Night Entries can see this is not easy stuff for me to re-live. I can only assure you all that there will be some nice moments, but we have to get through the dark stuff first. Keep holding on to me, we'll all get through it together....

Orphaned at age 12, Terry goes to live with his Aunt Adele, where his girlish nature and lovely soprano voice takes him on stage — as a girl. “You could be Miss America,” a boy tells Terry, but it is in the midst of World War II and that complicates Terry’s future as a girl. What will Aunt Adele do?)

The Angry Mermaid 38 or Y Morforwyn Dicllon 38

After the battle Drustina is forced to address her pregnancy and forthcoming parturition.

The arrival of her second set of twind brings home the hurt and confusion caused by her duality that drives her on the one hand to pursue her enemies in Cymru and punish them whilst hating to have to leave her babies behind to continue the Pharoic dynasty.

This chapter explores the hurt and confusion caused by these two conflicting issues in Drustina's life.

01) Official Chapter Readings

While at work today I experienced an epiphany... I think the thought was something along the lines of I might actually be able to catch up with my reading of Angharad's Bike serial if I could just copy a buncha chapters to my phone in audio format and listen to them while at work... Which led me to, well, what if other people wanted to listen to my story while doing other things instead of taking the time out of their day just to specifically read. Or maybe even they might want to read along with me and hear the way I voice the characters in my head when writing.

Whee! More fun for Heathers

Whee!!

I get to start classes this fall. The VA Voc Rehab people are paying for it! So I get to go back to school and learn something that might be helpful in terms of getting a job. And what am I going for? Mental Health Counseling.

That's right I am going to shrink heads! And I wonder what I am going to focus in. :) Our community could always use another shrink, right? Besides, I can work on getting published and take classes. It will be awesome.

God Save the Queen - Chapter 15 Delayed

As many of you know Nancy and I have striven to make sure that each chapter of God Save the Queen has been published on time every Tuesday for the last 14 weeks.
Sadly I've just managed to break that. Real world dramas and workload on my part (not Nancy who is far better organised and disciplined) have left me somewhat behind on Chapter 15, so I must apologise that it will be a few days late.

My Magic PDA

MY Magic PDA part 1

Bob and Megan, a married couple in their final years retired for the night. Just before drifting off to sleep Bob made an off hand comment to which Megan agreed with a slight twist. They did not know something was listening and granted their wish. How will this challenge work out when they hardly know the rules of the game?

Sept 20, 2011
Newly edited through the unforgiving seventh grade English teacher. There are a few minor changes but nothing to alter the story. You will notice a change from first person narrative to third person in some scenes. This is intentional. The primary focus is from Bob/Sarah's point of view. I shifted to third person when Bob/Sarah was not involved in the scene and for areas where scene setting is involved. With that in mind it should lessen any confusion. I trust this helps convince you there is a method for the writers madness and it is not a lack of skill. This decision may be a failure but I did it on purpose.

Scary stuff, man, scary effin stuff...

A quick summary of recent history, so those of you that don't think like I do can understand my slight cause for concern.

First, there was the unrest in Egypt that brought down the ruling party there. i think it safe to assume that most of us are at least passingly familiar with what all went down there. Then, like a contagioun, the unrest spread through out the Middle East. Some places there was no voilence. Others... Well, look to the current situation in Lybia as an example. not there is this:

A Little Gossip, A Little Chat, A little Idle Talk...

It's been a tough 4 or 5 years. Let's see, I told my kids I was transsexual, my church refused to renew my pastor's license, One of my children informed me in no uncertain terms that he wished I HAD killed my self about 3 or 4 years ago. And, it grieves me so but I have to admit, if only to myself (Okay, and all of you!!) that my marriage was shattered years ago, what little is left has been held together my my love, my unwillingness to give up, and a barrel of superglue.

Wine Can't be Pressed into Grapes, part 1 of 22

Wine Can't be Pressed into Grapes

by Trismegistus Shandy

Part 1 of 22

The man had evidently been traveling on foot for a long time. His clothes were rags that barely covered his nakedness, and his cheekbones, ribs, and hips stood out against flesh from which all the fat and too much of the muscle had been burned off some time ago.

*Le Sigh*

As much as I like to watch lightning storms, which is quite alot I assure you, the ones that have been showing up in my part of the world have been quite depressing as of late. It sucks like that. And the power is about to go out. So, here's hoping nothing too bad comes of this and the power isn't out for too long. There's a bit too much rain blocking the view of the sky, so I can't get a good view of Mother Nature's own light show.

I find that rther annoying... >_>

Whedonfest

Whedonfest was awesome. I think we raised about 800 or more for charity, but it's too soon to tell. Once the final accounting is done we will have a better idea. Great people, lots of fun, and some fun cosplay. One I figured everyone might get a kick out of was a friend of mine dressed as Mal, if Mal was a hot girl instead of a guy. Same shirt and suspenders, same gun, but the short shorts were epic. Very fun outfit and she looked good in it. My FtM friend Dorian dressed as Tony Stark, Simon Tam and Spike from Buffy. Lots of fun.

Now I can hopefully get my brain back and do some writing.

making contingency plans

Well, I'm making some contingency plans in case things really go into the crapper here. I may have to get a second (third, maybe, since I'm also helping the ex and taking care of my daughter) job. Under those circumstances, I don't know when I would sleep ... The other thing I can do is figure out where I can save money - without totally sacrificing my dreams of being able to at least be on hormones. "Tight" don't even cover it. Ah, well.

Sarah Carerra - 2.48 - Nautica Pavilion

sc2.jpg I nodded as we continued to watch a big ship pass by in front of us. The Nautica Pavilion was built on a bend near the mouth of the Cuyahoga River. Austin and I were sitting in a pair of lawn chairs that had been set up outside my tour bus, which was parked within view of the river. We had watched a number of ships pass by since we had arrived. It was going to be an interesting show, because I was sure they wouldn't be stopping just because I was performing.
