I edit for a number of authors here, and do not ask for any notice in print, either on their stories, or elsewhere. I do it to help them with their stories, for as most will admit, And I certainly will on my own writings. The author is usually too close to the story. When looking it over, the author sees what they meant to write / thought they had written, instead of what actually went down on paper ( or in pixels on their screen). It is always helpful to have at least one extra set of eyes look at the story.

Alright, for various reasons I have been a bit slow preparing the next section of "Princess For Hire" for posting, so here's the scoop. Would you rather:

A) have a short posting (two chapters) today, with another short short (single chapter) within the next two days? Or

B) wait until tomorrow and get all three chapters, with a normal update on Sunday as well?

Soccer can be a cruel game. Many times the score isn't indicative of which team played the best.

For a game that probably lacks in significance you'd think the USA won the most vital contest of the year 1-1. I coached youth soccer long enough to have four of my children play for me. I've experienced my share of ties and know they're bittersweet for both sides, even in under the best circumstances.

I find that I am struggling with guilt in regards to my rape. I had a moment of clearity in my counsiling thursday, when i realized I actually missed my attacker after i stopped seeing him. This, coupled with the fact that i experianced pleasure on some level during my attacks has really thrown me, and I am having trouble wrapping my head around it. Sigh.

I'm sorry if you find this one changing. I'm constantly finding new shortcomings in it that I have to correct, and the words don't seem to come as they should in this one. So maybe it will be something totally different than what I started out with, as I've gone some way with it? I guess you could call it my most 'ambitious' try so far :)

A person shouldn't be judged by whether or not they write excellent stories.

Lately a certain author on several TG websites has come under attack for his clumsy efforts.

Sure, his writing is pathetic in that it lacks any degree of normal structure, but is that adequate reason to bury him under scorn?

It's been almost a year and a half since my last blog entry, there's been a lot of keeping on keeping on, and some dark times.

Well, I got a repreive at the agency today. They have decided that even without the medical, my gender issues are enough by themselves to qualify me for assistance. I will have to get the doc to say he is sending me to the specialist, which shouldnt be as much of a problem. So, i go from no hope back to some hope in one move.

Phew! It's taken long enough, but finally the EAFOAB Episode Summaries are completely up to date.

Every single one of the 1,020 episodes to date has been summarised and entered into a Google spreadsheet. I intended to complete it before we reached 2¹⁰ episodes, and I've succeeded :)

I don't know what happened to me! It is not my fault, I did nothing wrong! My intentions were pure before Allah SWT!

It was pure boredom, and in total desparation, that I turned that glass thing on in the living room, and after a short time found myself laughing until my sides split. And to my total shock found that the program I was watching was called "Friends"! OH MY! What has happened to me! I solemly swear that I never watched that program before because it causes brain damage to anyone I know who has watched it.

If there is a yank living in the UK, would you please contact me? I am going to live in Cleveland until May, and am entertaining the idea of just living temporarily in a few different places as long as my health holds out. Yesterday, the Doc said that I could go 20 or 30 years, and if that is the case, I will wear my chair out long before then if I keep sitting in it. There is not a single member of my family who would want to know about me.

Some random thoughts on life:

"Life . . . don't talk to me about life" Marvin the Paranoid android

"Life is a paltry player who struts and frets his moment apon the stage and then is heard from no more. It is a tale, told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

signifying nothing." McBeth

"life is pain, princess! anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something" Wesley, from the princess Bride

"One sure thing about life. Nobody gets out alive" Annon.

"The secret to a happy life? Lowered expectations." Me

That's that for the time being. I've managed to bring the story to a point where various things conclude satisfactorily. I'm now going to put it on the back burner while I scratch some other itches.
