I've got a question for anyone that's been following my serial, Stephanie's Deal.

I find the name of this bus inspirational, at least from a fiction point of view.

I first saw it go by a couple weeks ago when I was driving through a neighborhood in Brooklyn. On Saturday, we were out doing a bit of shopping in that same neighborhood when I spotted the bus again. My wife had her camera with her, and this time, I was able to get some pictures.

A few readers have asked for more on "Kelly's Journey," and to tell the truth, even though it was complete, I wanted to go back and add in the parts that had been left out.

Well, I have been working upon the revised version and I must admit that it is a challenge. I am adding in where Kelly and his Daddy are bonding and then how his death hurt Kelly.

This is perhaps a touchy subject for some, but I really want to try to learn more about the point of view of a certain 46XY Complete Androgyen Insenstivity syndrom person I know. Apparently she did not find out about the problem until she was like 17 years old. She was raised as a normal girl.

I've finally reached the end of Stevie's Tuesday, and it only took 6000 words - eek - I'm too tired to go through final checks tonight so I'll post it in the morning.

I use BBEdit from Bare Bones Software, possibly the best programmer's editor for the Mac, but have recently learned that they introduced a freeware product they call TextWrangler, which has a considerable subset of BBEdit's functionality. It has spellchecking, of course, and can easily accommodate American, British, Candian, and Australian versions of English using downloadable dictionaries.

Lately there have been ads in the left column from "PWG" that are trying to sell wine accessories. So far they've all featured some kind of scanitly clad bombshell holding a glass of wine.

Is it just me, or does anyone else's brain automatically give the image a TG caption? I usually imagine something like "Does my body fascinate you? Drink the elixir and you can look like this, too."

To my several loyal (if somewhat mad) readers, I have to say that I am once again off to the wide blue yonder on my late summer hols.

The little darlings (kids) are going back to school, leaving the way clear for me and the better half to go exploring the hills (and pubs) of Yorkshire.

When I penned my story Kelly's Journey, I thought that it was complete as is, but from comments made, I feel that there is more to tell about her journey.

So I have a question, I completed the story for the contest and I wonder if I should expand upon the story. I can see where i can expand it and add to the story.
