Science has discovered that if you do anything for 10,000 hours, you become an expert at it. :)

Four hours a day would take about seven years to add up to 10,000. I think I became an expert at running BigCloset sometime about three years ago. :)

How many of you have become experts at something without quite realizing it?

Discipline, Respect, Honesty, and Madam Martinique's Plaque

Submitted by on

This is the plaque mentioned in my story, Madam Martinique's Finishing School. When I had started writing the story, I had the idea of there being three principles upon which the school was founded, but I did put a bit of thought into what those principles would be. Below are some of the thoughts behind them, which may wind up being woven into future chapters ... if I ever manage to pull enough of a story together to make decent chapters.

I am professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

65

Hi everybody. I just discovered BC. A little later than most, I guess. At age 65 I am still theoretically male externally, but confused internally. If only the internet had existed 50 years ago! Anyway, I missed my best chance at the age of 19 through a combination of a lack of maturity and utter cowardice in a time when transsexuality was almost a capital crime and only brave souls like Christine Johannsen and April Ashley made the journey. I did not have their guts. Not complaining. My decision, and life compensates you in other ways.

Pardon for the delay in getting this chapter posted, but somehow Real Life reared it's head and has had me too busy to do any writing for a while. Hopefully once the fall season is upon us, I can get back to writing again. I have not ended this series, so please stay tuned.

There have been a lot of stories that tell how boys learn to become better people by being sent to a "special" school. There are some things about those kinds of stories I didn't like much, so I decided to create my own version of this particular sub-genre. Enjoy!

Once there I couldn't leave the Beep Beep Beepity Beep thing alone! I kept changing stuff! Finally I'm half way satisfied with it! I'm not a good artist but I'm stubborn to keep at it till it at least resembles what I'm envisioning. You can take a peek here. http://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/fiction/3807/heroes-justice

Well, Blue Moon is done. My first novel since the obligatory, bad, coming-of-age tripe I wrote in college.

It didn't start out to be a novel; originally I just had a cute idea for a short story based on the calendar and having recently re-read Lainie Lee's incomplete "The Devil in Drag."

A lot of people asked me to continue the story, so I tried. It turned into a serial, then a serialized novel under the continued encouragement of several people.

Thank you all, you know who you are. ::smile::

Keep Falling or What?

Submitted by on

Forums: 

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

I've posted 42 episodes of Falling Off...... in almost as many days. Given its time frame, I'm aware that it is 'literature lite' rather than anything more substantial, the Beano rather than Nature. I'm also aware more people probably read the Beano than the more learned journal.

Some people appear to enjoy my tale of a seemingly powerless individual swept along by the demands of others, caught up in her conflicting desires and needs. Maybe it reflects stages most of us go through at times in our lives, when it all seems a bit directionless because the trees obscure the wood.

Shortly after I posted "Berserker Chromosome" I learned of the death of Fred Saberhagen.
Fred Saberhagen was a science fiction author and the creator of the Berserkers. He was a great influence on my work. I am saddened that he will not be adding to the body of work he has left us.
If you haven't read Fred Saberhagen you are doing yourself a great disservice. It is worth a trip to the library. It's worth the money to purchase a few of his books. I urge you to do so.

I don't have a clue of comments or voting mean anything. I've written, read, edited anough stories to have a fairly good idea what passes for good writing in this genre.

During the last three weeks I've posted seven stories on Fictionmania that were also posted on BigCloset.

I'll list them in order from the best quality story, in my opinion, to the story that is the worst quality of the seven. I will list how many comments I received on Fictionmania, how many comments on BigCloset and how many votes on BigCloset.
