Question for those that have read my stories (penname Alexis)

I'm contemplating writing something off the wall and different than what usually gets posted. If you see my stories April and June, or The Conversation you might have an idea when I say off the wall what I mean. I haven't written anything in quite a while, and have been feeding most of my ideas to a fellow author whose skills greatly outshine my own (and who thankfully will edit if I get that far)

"You know, this stuff is pretty good!" I said as I fumbled through using chopsticks.

"I thought you would," Marie said. "I'm glad your mom let you come with me to this place. I used to come here with some friends when I was in college."

It was a small Chinese restaurant where Marie said we would get the full effect.

"You know, you're nothing like what mom used to let us think you were like," I said. "You're really cool."

"Thanks," Marie said. "I can understand how your mom feels. But I'm really glad she's letting us get to know each other better."

Small French translation request

Just a quick question. How does one refer to two or more females as "very beautiful" in French?

It's part of the next chapter. I want to be absolutely certain I get it right, but I haven't studied foreign language since High School ;-)

The exact sentence is,

“My young friends, you both look very beautiful!"

I can't remember if it's tré or trés. I remember 'Belle' means 'Beauty' because of Beauty and the Beast, but that's about it.

Thanks in advance! :-D

MY TRANSITION POEM.

Of all of the times in my long lonesome life,
full of anger and sadness and worry and strife,

the now, this moment, holds, it seems,
my hopes, my prayers, my choices, my dreams.

I stand on the threshold of change and renewal,

"It'll be okay, Megan," she said and pulled me closer. I laid my head on her shoulder and felt comforted by her presence. "We'll get through whatever happens, I promise."

I've gone through a lot of trials lately. My teenage daughter overdosed and is struggling with issues relating to my ex, who doesn't care about her.

We've also been struggling financially.

Kacey winced in pain. She was in tears as we all ran to her side.

"It appears to be a fracture," Coach Mills said as brought some ice to put on her ankle.

"What are we going to do, we've got the regional meet on Saturday," Jessi whispered to me.

I shrugged my shoulders. We had enough all-arounders.

But Kacey was one of the competitors on the beam.

"You're going to be okay, Kacey," Coach Mills said as a trainer picked her up and carried her to the training room.

The bad news was I got into a fight with my ex at her church today. I wore my bracelet, and my daughter noticed it, and my ex insisted i take it off. I refused, and left the church rather than make a scene. As far as I am concerned, thats the last time I will go to that church. There a couple of accepting churches, and I am going to go to one of them instead.

Well, today is the 9th of May and Sunday at that. More importantly today is Mothers day.
I don't know who celebrates this and who doesn't and I don't want to offend anyone.
There's a lot of really great gals out here who deserve the mothers day love and respect even if they were once counted amongst the guys. There's a lot of you girls who in my opinion are great Moms, Mums, and both to be if fate is kind. Some of you are even that to others here.
Much Respect.

limbo: a look at married same-sex couples in states that don't recognize such unions
05-09-2010 09:15 AM PDT |By DAVID CRARY, AP National Writer

When government forms inquire of her marital status, Isabelle Barker sometimes resorts to an asterisk and an explanatory note.

She and her wife, Cara Palladino, got married five years ago in Massachusetts. Six months later, for job reasons, they moved to Pennsylvania _ one of the majority of states that do not recognize same-sex marriages.

Hence the asterisk.

Story Idea for Anyone That Wants It - Phases

I couldn't decide whether to post this under the Writing Forum or Writer's Challenge, since technically this isn't a writing challenge, but a story idea.

Something I said in a blog awhile ago has really stuck with me. I commented about how my feelings tend to travel in cycles, where there are times I feel just ridiculously over-feminine, and then there are times when it's the farthest thing from my mind.

H'okay so...

VA VocRehab is willing to send me to school to become whatever I want to be. Now while I could get an MFA I think I might want to go after something else. For a while I was thinking of an Advocate of some sort because I would be paid to fight with people and I can do that.

However, that doesn't fit me as much as this next job/ field... Ethnolinguist. I would basically study where language and culture make sweet sweet love. So I get to play with language and culture. That works for me.

Now all I have to do is get into Vanderbilt or UT Knoxville. Whee!!

Hello, I'm trying to compile some music and would love to get some help!

Think girly, feminine, empowering. That which to mince or sashay to, wail down the hairdryer to, shake your hips to. That to bring out the diva within. Even music which is masculine in a very tongue in cheek way can emphasize femininity, especially in contrast to the madeup reflection in the mirror.

Honestly, I sometimes wonder at people's intelligence, homosexuality is caused by demonic possession - duh? So how would they explain transsexualism? In this day and age, to judge persons on their sexual orientation is so ridiculous it's pathetic. The evidence is stacking up that most of these things are organic or genetic in origin, so why can't they get the message? Oh I forgot, most of them think the world was created in six days...

a letter to a relative - posted with permission

This letter was writen by a friend of mine to a relative

Dear Relative --

You’ve no doubt noticed that I have had a lot of things on my mind lately and that I haven’t been myself for…well, years.
I’ve been trapped in depression and self-loathing for years…all because I took everything that people have dished out at people like myself and internalized it.
The message from school to people like Bernie was made clear. Don’t do that. Don’t act like that. Don’t BE that.
So, I took who I was and buried it for years.

I've been writing for around six years now. Before I found BCTS I tried many times to write, but just could never get anywhere with it. Here, I met authors and editors with real world experience, who helped me to find my author's voice. And I met friends here, who helped me to define who I am.

I'm a 35 year old trans woman, lesbian, but I am also a wordsmith, a gamer, a musician, photographer, and YouTube Content Creator. I am many shades of goth, but I also love tie dye. I listen to every genre of music from 60s rock to traditional Celtic.

I proudly define myself as Neo-Pagan, but hold on to my Christian roots because, despite they define my empathy for other human beings.

I am the author of the novel series Becoming Robin, the heartwarming story of a transgender teenager on the path to self-acceptance in her new life.

I'm also the co-creator of a number of stories with my writing partner and girlfriend Ashleigh (AKA Dark Kitten). You can find the rest of our joint-written stories by clicking here!
