The final editing act I perform, before submitting a story, is to do a number of quick checks. Specifically I look at the usage of homonyms and depending upon my read throughs, words that I may joined differently (i.e. nightgown or night gown).

My standard checklist so far consists of:

New television show

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

There is a new television on show on WE cable channel on Tuesday nights at 11 p.m. eastern standard time till 1 a.m. called Sex Change Hospital. Each episode is one hour long and profiles one new male to female transsexual and one female to male transsexual each episode and the surgeon is Dr. Bowers in Trinidad Colorado. It is very informative and done tastefully.

Hugs,

Gender Neutral Pronouns

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

In 1993, I joined an online email group that we called TS Lesbians. We wished to avoid patriarchal language, such as he, him, his, etc. being default pronouns (used where the gender of the person referred to by the pronoun is unknown).

Use of she/he, him/her, etc. seemed literally correct, but awkward and wordy. Using they, their, etc. for third person singular, although it has been done for centuries, brings problems of whether other parts of speech in the sentence should be singular or plural.

I'm All Weepy

I've just come from seeing "Mamma Mia". Yes, I know it has no TG content, but I'm a silly sentimental old tart. Probably many of you have already seen it but I think it's a lovely movie and Abba didn't get the credit that they deserved both for their lyrics and their melodies. I cried all the way through. Silly me, but I loved it,

I was already to have an editor take a look at Desert Princess 3 this week and when I went looking for it, it was gone! I simply can not understand what happened to it, though there may be some chance of getting it back when I go back to Portland and hook up to my external Hard Drive.

Off Armageddon's Reef

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

David Weber the Sci-fi author of Off Armageddon's Reef has an interview up at Baen.com. The novel has some TG in it but not as part of the main story. David Weber is the author of the popular Honor Harrington series as well as others. His books has strong women as their heroines and tend to be military sci-fi. I know that in the past his books has been mentioned and thought the interview would be of interest. One thing he did say that I agree with one hundred percent is that the only bad thing with writing is it leaves you with less time to read! Enjoy all!

Parallel Blog -5-

Writing for a character that seems to have a mind of her own is a hoot. It's some of the most fun that a writer can have. Drew/Annie in TIP is such a character. One of the funniest things about writing for her are the things she seems to think but isn't willing to write down. After all, she's supposed to be telling the story and some things are just too embarrassing. ;>

I've got the next one almost done and plan to post it Thursday or Friday. And for the furriners who don't play baseball, well, stay tune. ;>

Just a quick update on my story writing goings-on. I am working on a story for the All Souls Day Contest and I'm hoping to have it up within the week. After that, I have some older stories I wrote a little while back and I'm thinking of posting those -- unless a new idea creeps into my head, and that does happen!

Cheers,

"You must be effing mad!," I said harshly to Taran when we had reached the safety of the female loos," they're bound to find out who I am."

"You'll be fine, Alun's positively drooling all over you, just keep your shoulders back and your boobs out," she said, laughing.

"You are just so dead!," I hissed at her, on our way out, before resuming my painted smile as we walked back towards our two companions.
