Many thanks and hugs to all of you kind people who have supported my first 300 book sales. Since April I have now sold 310 books, and they keep selling. My aim, if that's okay with you guys, is to settle down into a routine that doesn't involve work, so I can actually make money from my writing and that means I can spend so much more time writing.

My books are here Tanya's Page

Thanks to all of you, and to Erin and this site particularly.

Hey BC, last week I had a go at shaving my legs for the first time. Turns out it was a bad idea as I was unprepared, though I managed not to cut myself at least. My advice if you have lots of hair have a bag full of disposable razors at the ready. I blunted mine before I got past my knees and whilst it could still handle the longer hairs it could no longer get the stubble; that was itchy for a while. I fixed it by buying some hair removal cream so I'm fine now. Probably should have asked for some advice before I tried but whats done is done.

My inner bitch came out today, as I loaded my grocery shopping ready to ride home. A very obvious M2F woman, of mature years, pushed her trolley past me, wearing a dress that was far, far too short. Out came my canine, snarling and sneering in my mind.

Then I thought more reasonably. Here is a girl who has had the courage to get to where she has always wanted to be, to be who she should have been, and if she wants to wear a not-so-slinky* black knitted minidress, who am I to deny her?

Good luck, and best wishes, girl!

After some very distasteful practices being exposed, including the alleged hacking into the voice mail of a murdered schoolgirl, Murdoch is closing the News of the World, with Sunday being its last edition. Mind you, in the days of fish and chips being wrapped in newsprint, the NotW was considered unsuitable for such applications, being too dirty.

As someone who was outted by the above named scandal rag many years ago, the premise offered by their journalist was that it was human interest, I was a departmental head in the local NHS at the time, I'm not shedding a single tear.

Quite a few people have suggested, over the course of the year, that they would like to see more of the Bailey series shorter and more frequently. So I'm coming to those who are reading the series once more to get some feedback on format changes. Since I'll be moving onto the winter series after one more chapter, I'll seek to change it now rather than wait.

Well, I managed to wear myself out yesterday/ Took my daughter to a local pool. They have not only a wave pool, but they have this section that's set up like a rapid, and I think we broke a record for how many times we went around on it. Other than not being allowed to show any signs of my progress toward womanhood, it was a good day.

I am looking for a good author who is willing to help me tell my life story. I am a 32 year old man, I have lead an average life for the most part, except I am ADHD and I am sure I have some other mental issues, after all ADHD is a mental illness. I have had battled with myself and other and life has not been easy. You may want to know how my life will make a good story, well sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll are involved along with drama and love. I am trying to get treatment for my issues and get my life on track. I would like to get started on a Bio ASAP.

I don't watch much telly, but a visitor pointed out that the CSI episode on tuesday called,
Ch Ch Changes was about the murder of a transsexual.

So it was, and I suspect there were several trannies or very convincing actors in it as well as our murder victim. I won't spoil the plot in case it turns up again, but I will say that Grissom and his team handled the subject with some delicacy, correcting those who used the wrong pronouns and so on. Quite well done if a bit gruesome (or should that be Grissom?).

No, that wasn't an exaggeration. Discovery Channel has a new program, debuting Friday, July 29 at 10:00 pm.

I suppose that's all to be said really. The title is the post, Sex Change Hospital. I do hope to be able to get my SO to watch it.

According to a Sci-fi book, "Red Dwarf", these are the three subjects you should avoid in order to keep things cordial. But I'm going to mention all three, and see if anyone really minds ....

Just found this on line at the Tulsa World website:

Becoming Katie

Katie Hill wasn't born a girl. But she always knew she was meant to be one.

Well, I just got back from my appointment with the gender specialist's assistant. Not only will she sign off on me starting hormones, she told me I pass quite nicely. It was good to hear, and Kylie is entitled to one large "I told you so."

I seem to have misplaced a blog from a few weeks ago (maybe longer, as I have also seen fit to misplace my mind these days...), but the author had brought up a topic of grammar and spelling in our editing. I was recently perusing orwell.ru and came across this page and thought to share it with all and sundry:

Well, my birthday ended on a down note. That night, as my shift started, the acting manager announced another girl's birthday, and it was clear she either didn't know or forgot it was mine too. So I spoke up, and said it was mine as well. She then said to everyone "Happy birthday to Todd, its HIS birthday too."

For some reason, that upset me a lot.
