Is it just me, or are some of the most difficult stories to read the ones you wrote yourself? I'm going over a story I'm working on to make sure that I've got everything straight on paper, as it were, and I'm finding it slow going. This isn't because it's long or hard to read or anything like that, but because I know what I intended to write, or what I want to be there and completely miss where I left a word or line of text in from a previous version of a scene, or I don't see where I left a gaping hole in the plot after changing my mind about something.

It is currently day 3 of my Florida vacation with my parents and my cousin, and a vacation means that I actually have the time to get back on the site again! Woo! But that time shall pass by briefly, as once I get back to Ohio I need to get back on my work/school thing.

Even with the tail end (at least, I *hope* it's the tail end) of a sudden squall is passing overhead as I'm typing this, it's been fun thus far and I'm looking forward to the sunset sailboat cruse that's lined up for tomorrow, pending the weather.

It appears that she just *might* communicate with actual pixies for her stories about them. Before anyone goes thinking I'm talking out of the wrong end of my body here, I do have something that almost looks kind of like proof. And that, friends, would be located here.

The moral of the story, as the one person's daughter found out:

If you find a tree with a tiny door in the base of it, leave some candy out for the occupants. ^^

This kind of thing makes me both sad and angry. Someone really ought to smack some sense into that Mary Ring bitch.

I read the blog Angharad posted about the doping issue in modern cycling and it is a sad truth to face. However, I did happen upon an article about an elderly cyclist that is putting quite a few of the "current crop" of professional cyclists to shame. The gentleman in question is 100 years old and recently set a 14.4 mile an hour pace over the stretch of 100km (62 or so miles). Admittedly, I don't know much about cycling, but I do know being able to set, and keep, a pace like that isn't anything to sneeze at. Never-mind the fact that he did it at his age.

Just to keep all who are interested informed, Dustin and I are still working on A Tale of Two Sirens. He and I both had real life get in the way for about a week and after it was all taken care of, we decided to avoid being in this situation again by not posting any more chapters of the story until all is said and done on the writing side of it.

So fear not, the story is very much alive and well. Things are acutally looking to get very interesting in the near future for Ashley and Danielle, so please stay tuned. ^_^

I found out just last night that my cousin, Tori Nikol Swoape, took her own life on Monday, May 7th 2012. She was only 15 years old. I know I haven't posted anything in a while. While I am working on new material, this turn of events has derailed all of that. Please bear with me while my family and I mourn our loss.

Thank you to all who commented on my last blog post. The gears are now turning with such force I've got smoke coming out of my ears! ^_^

I read Dorothy Colleen's entry called "A Tapestry of Stars" earlier today and I felt compelled to share something with you all. Before I do, I need to explain something. Every star on the tapestry mentioned in that story represent all of the TG men and women who have been murdered for being who they really are in the area the story takes place in.

Hello one and all, I am in need of one or more people to help me with editing work for a story I have written that is set in Enemyoffun's DarkRealms Universe. What I need specifically is help with grammar and at least one person to be a beta reader. Anyone interested, please pm me and we'll take it from there. Thank you for your time.

I wanted to try and guage the potential reaction before I actually write and post it here when complete. I was thinking back on some of the stories I have read through the years and there is one that sticks out with me. It's called "King of Bandits: Jing" by Yuichi Kumakura. it is somewhat old-ish, with the first printings on the first series being sone in the late 1990's and early 2000's, with twilight Tales (the second of two series) being completed by the mid-2000's.

As much as I like to watch lightning storms, which is quite alot I assure you, the ones that have been showing up in my part of the world have been quite depressing as of late. It sucks like that. And the power is about to go out. So, here's hoping nothing too bad comes of this and the power isn't out for too long. There's a bit too much rain blocking the view of the sky, so I can't get a good view of Mother Nature's own light show.

I find that rther annoying... >_>

Minor update (A.K.A. looking for something to do less than a minute after original posting.) :
