I’m out with my girlfriend, who happens to be a lesbian, so of course, I’m dressed as a girl. It didn’t make any sense at all, but it had a certain logic. We were just about to step off the curb when some guy stopped in front of us.

He was a bit of a blob but a big one. Six foot two or so, at least 300 pounds, with a Tony Stark beard and ‘stache and Hispanic coloring, he pointed at me. “Samantha!” he said. “You play Sam on ‘Days of Our World’!”

“I—what? No, I don’t!” I protested.

“Is there an animal you think is particularly like you?”

I blinked. What an odd question. If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be? “An animal? Uh—a chipmunk?”

She turned to grin at me. “I believe it,” she said.

“Not your idea?” Deirdre asked.

I shook my head. “I still don’t remember agreeing to this,” I said.

Can Kissy go home and back to being Davey?

“I want you to take me home,” I told her.

She nodded.

“Mom is going out with friends, and if I get home before her, I’ll have time to get all—get rid of all this—stuff. And go back to being D-davey.”

She shook her head and pulled me against her. “You can’t,” she said.

I flared. “The hell I can’t,” pushing her away, or trying to. “You can’t make me do anything I don’t want to do.”

I need my space!

...between paragraphs, that is.

Reading on-screen is different than reading on a page but any large block of text can be difficult to read if the eye cannot find an anchor point to return to when it reaches the end of a line.

Since HTML removes the indents at the beginning of paragraphs, the online standard has become to put a blank line between paragraphs. Or at least, a blank line every few lines (a la Maddy Bell) if the lines are short.

The Theory of Tuesdays

Science and Dan O'Neil both explain that Tuesday afternoon is the most productive time of the week. No one wants to work on Friday or Monday or any morning at all for that matter. And Thursday afternoon is taken up making plans for Friday; you can't get things done on Wednesday because that's Hump Day, for gosh sakes.

That leaves only Tuesday afternoon, you're awake and rested from the weekend, Friday is far enough away you can pretend you have plenty of time to make plans and you need room on your desk to eat your Hoagie so you might as well do some work.

Paragraph

Got up this morning with a paragraph in my head. Finally had to write it down.

Sanford was one of those guys. You know, the ones who can eat anything they want, as much as they want and never gain an ounce. The ones who look great in casual clothes or a tailored suit or just your imagination. Of course, he got up every morning before dawn, did his stretches and ran two miles before breakfast. Yeah, one of those guys.

Obviously, I'm one of those gals who get up in the morning with a paragraph stuck in their head. :)

Midnight toast

When I've fallen asleep in the early evening because I'm ill, I usually wake around midnight and what I want is some toast.


Midnight Toast

This is how I made my toast:

A thick slice of square, organic sourdough which I spread lightly with brown mustard.

A scallion (green onion), chopped as fine as I cared to and distributed on the bread.

New Chapter of my Regency Romance - His Inconstant Desire

I'll be posting my new chapter, #8 Cold, Rain and Breakfast, tomorrow as soon as I have let it cool off so I can edit it.

Sorry it's been so long but I have been sick for about 5 weeks. Went to the doctor today and he offered to X-Ray my head to see if there's anything in there, but I told him I didn't want to know that bad. Otherwise, I'm much better so it's back to work.

New chapter of my Regency Romance - His Inconstant Desire

Just posted a new chapter of my Regency Romance, His Inconstant Desire. In this episode, Constantine has to deal with his female relatives desire to dress him appropriate to his new role as youngest daughter. Father wants to see her at dinner.

I'm trying to make this as much as possible within the realm of other Regencies. We have a heroine with an unusual past and a unique problem: in this case, she's been raised as a boy. That's not actually too far outside other Regency stories, that often feature tomboyish heroines with unusual backgrounds.

Butterscotch -7- Free Preview up on Patreon

Marjorie seemed convinced that despite physical evidence, I was really a girl and would only be happy if I admitted it.

“Don’t you think I’d know that if it were true?” I told her. “I’m not someone on an afternoon agony show, I’m just a skinny nerd boy who apparently is easily talked into things.”

Accidental Chapter

I woke up early this morning and while looking at my files, I discovered that I had started a chapter of Bian but never finished it. So--I finished it.

I'd like to go ahead and post it but it ends with a cliffhanger and I've got too much on my plate to commit to doing another new chapter soon.

Sigh.

So, unless I get some active clamoring to see it, I think I'll let it rest until I can get back to the whole series.

Anybody want to comment?

Erin
