There's an interesting article on Bat For Lashes at the Guardian, a popular British singer and songwriter.

Well it's great to be home. I just got back from my sisters house in alabama last night. Man it was boring down there. I took my nephew to school and back every day. Round trip it was an hour and 40 minites. Other than that I could not do much. I was broke. No money to spendy. Then my sister only had dial up for interner and her computer is like 10 years old. It took 10 minites to check my email. I went to a books a million store to use their wifi and it cost me $4.95. I had to keep entering my password for the day. it sucked.

Please excuse my youthful exuberance in commenting twice on the same story; it was exquisite, though, wasn't it? Also, I added some things and edited some things in my latest chapter of Providence - The Valley to make it more cohesive and read better, I hope. My apologies to those who have already read the piece, and thank you so much for supporting me not only through my literary endeavors but my health problems as well.

I just lengthened this entry by over double since I saw that some people would prefer longer chapters

I'm not exactly sure what I said because the blog entry was depublished and I did not save it on my own machine.

In any case, apparently I have offended people and I apologize for this.

Specifically, I apologize to Kristina and Angharad.

I am sorry, I did not mean to be offensive.

I would be more specific, but I'm not sure exactly how I offended.

I will no longer darken your doors.

I abase myself, beg your forgiveness, every other way I can think of to say that I am truly sorry and I hope you can overlook my intolerable rudeness.

Admin Note: Sephrena I have disabled commenting because this thread is spiralling towards argument. It's best to leave this be and agree that some cannot agree on this issue.
 
 
Sometimes, I kinda doubt my femininity. I mean, I grew up with images of women who were just as strong as the men they loved, but to be honest, I think I’d have to call myself a Warrior woman if I’m any sort of woman at all. Think Red Sonja, except more militantly feminist.

I suppose today at the dollar store would be a perfect example of what I mean.

I have been having the itch to write for a few months but nothing really gelled in my mind.

I have gone back to school and I have my GPA up to over a 3.7. I am trying very hard to get a *real* job instead of the dead-end mistake I have now.

So, since I am home recovering from a UTI I decided to start hashing something out.

Working Relations is just a springboard to get into a good story. The transgender aspects fall in later.

I've just posted the title page for a new story I'm working on. I know, I know, what about the other ones that have been languishing? Well, I'm still trying to get to them, too. Venus Cursed! is taking up more time than I anticipated, especially since I've got two side stories going now! I'm not abandoning POWYHL or KittyHawk, really! I'll try to alternate or something and get something out on each over the next few months. I can't promise anything, of course, but I will try!

HI all. I know at least a couple of people are waiting patiently for Unfinished Business part 5...It is in work and should be ready soon. I've been doing some research for it (which is taking a bit longer than I thought) and will be posting it very soon, but I'm not certain when. I have run into a snag with the story that I didn't anticipate and it is causing me to regroup and think about the way to go.

I've also brushed off some stories I started long ago and will be posting them soon as well as continuing sagas.

Kisses,
Brianna

I'm away for a week commencing 25th September. I'll be abroad - Menorca again, and I don't think my dongle will work there, so I won't be posting for a week.

I've done a new episode of Whatever Next, my Gaby fanfic, which I have to finish editing. I hope to get that to Maddy over the weekend but with her computer problems, I can't say when it'll be posted.

Hugs,

Angharad.

When I started reading TG stories on the web many years ago every story I read was interesting since I had never read stories with TG protagonists before. Finally someone I could identify with who was dealing with things that mattered to me.

After a decade or so this identification is still important so I still read TG stories but now the story has to provide something beyond the mere basics - the tropes of TG fiction such as self-discovery, the process of acquiring the clothes and paraphernalia, the salon experience, the shopping trip, the talk with the parents, the visit to the shrink... You know the list.

I now believe that in order to please long-time readers such as myself there are three main ways to make a TG story interesting.

Being somewhat Bipolar (still being ruled in or out by doc) I have my moments. As you may have read from the previous few days, I can be glib and witty, or sardonic, and I apologize for my swings. Today I am devastated. I took a job for which I am vastly overqualified since I have been out of work for four years. I haven't been able to return to counseling as a career for a variety of reasons, and I have expressed my fear on more than one occasion that I may never get back.
