The Witch's Tarot

I have just sent the latest chapter to Gabs for editing, so it will be published later this afternoon.

Thanks for your patience.


Okay I lied... well maybe not lied, but didn't think - not unusual. I'm getting a lot of that lately.

I had hoped to be able to post this afternoon - or evening as it is here, but no.

I really hope to do so tomorrow, but that all depends upon whether my trusty editor has the time.

My apologies for winding you lot up and for making assumptions I had no right to make.

Thank you.

A slightly different way to use up the thanksgiving leftovers.

Author: 

Here is something to do with that left over turkey from Thanksgiving. Something different that the usual turkey sandwiches, turkey casserole, turkey tetrazzini, etc.

If you happened to go the ham route at Thanksgiving, all the better because the original recipe calls for ham, but Turkey, or even chicken can be substituted for the meat portion of this recipe.

My mom, whom I stole this from, actually called them "Tacos" but they are more like Taquitos.

Ok, here it is. The recipe below is for two dozen or so, but you can adjust to make more or less.

Do sequels work?

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

A number of readers are saying that I should start finishing off Changes as it appears to be coming to a natural end, as certain threads are closing or have closed. Others have said that I should go into book 2 or some sort of sequel as there are a lot of things unfinished.

I tried the book 2 methods for Working Girl and Home Alone and while they were appreciated, I always felt that the edge had been knocked off the readers appetite.

My background and qualifications

Since I have volunteered to do editing to assist authors, I thought I should supply my credentials. My career spans both management assignments in the IT area of a large corporation and university teaching in a school of business. I have written four books: one on statistics, one on data base principles, one on information resource management and one on cooking (a 200 recipe collection that keeps expanding). I am a self taught speed reader and a compulsive editor.

Easy Crock Pot Meal

Forums: 

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

It is best to start the night before, have another crock pot. This takes all day. Works with any meat, too.

After dinner, take a Boston Butt roast, place it in the crock pot and let it cook in its own juices, It should be done in the morning. When done, drain the juices and simmer the veggies in the juices in a second crock pot while you place the roast back in first pot with water and gravy mix to cook apart to tenderize.

Should be ready by lunch time, when done, drain veggies, add to meat and simmer till dinner, serve in crock.

Erin - All of the November Gift ideas have been really wonderful

We are now about 1/2 way through the time alloted to the November Gift challange, and as of the last I counted there are 15 stories.

If you haven't read them, I strongly urge you all to go out and check them out. There are quite a few that are exceptional.

Some will make you laugh, others will make you cry, some will get you mad... in short the full gammut of emotion is to be found there...

Then make sure to send a thank you to Erin, because it was her idea.

Hugs,

I am an oxymoron

I am such a living oxymoron.

I am a girl inside but not on the outside. Heck, I'm not even sure I'm really a girl, maybe a girl wannabe. Being TG but not TS might sound like an oxymoron to some here, but it's probably true in my case. I'm reminded of The Man Without a Country. I'm a person without a gender, since I find myself firmly rooted in between.

The Phone Call

The Phone Call
A story of reconciliation and hope
Copyright  © 2009 Carla Ann, All Rights Reserved

You've worked hard and reached the pinnacle of success. Now you have lost everything but the trappings of that success. You're presented with one last opportunity to reclaim that which means the most to you. If you do everything correctly, things just might turn out okay. But if you botch the opportunity, it could permanently set a course for final ruination. The risk is high. What would you do? Would you hesitate before doing it? This is what Thomas did.

Warning, there are a couple intense memories here.

Hiya Girls! A long time ago, read a story about a guy who gets forced into a gov't program because of a lack of females in the country, has large dosages of some new girly hormones or chemicals and is given over to a plummer who basically purchased him from the gov't program to eventually be his wife. The guy who changes fights it, but slowly accepts his inevidable future. A govt official comes to inspect 'him' to make sure he's accepting his physical changes. . .

Unusual reason to miss work...

For the first time in 15 years, David Dimbleby, presenter of Question Time, has had to miss recording an episode.

Here's the slightly unsual reason why: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8356943.stm

Then again, the programme itself once featured an unusual guest: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/cornwall/8131264.stm

And on hearing the story, I couldn't help but think of the ultimate (fictional - I hope!) sick note (which also serves as a "Don't try this at home!" physics demonstration): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWeXpNyqOrU

According to the copyright, this site has been here since June of 2005. Now, I know that at times, that the site has experienced difficulties, but Erin, Bob Arnold, Sephrena, and others have sacrificed their time and money to keep this site going.

Erin has purposefully made this a a place to discuss, read, and post T.G. fiction, and many of the authors from other sites have made Big Closet/Top Shelf their home.

Hey all,

Why did I publish "The Calm of My Stream" when I said I was going to wait until the next chapter of The Center comes out?

I just got a really good opportunity to take part in an anthology that's going to be published by an actual publishing company that you don't have to pay. It's not the big time, but I have an opportunity to get my foot in the door of mainstream fiction, that you can actually buy online or in your local bookstore.

So, I'm concentrating on that this week. No Center this week unless I run into a major block on the paid-for writing.
