Hey there everybody,

I just wanted to give everyone an update as to what mischief I have been up to.

Still editing Transitioning Home, mostly because I see a number of issues and plot holes. Sheesh... I thought it was all good to go but apparently I am taking the crack. I was also looking over Splintered Life and realized there are a few more chapters lurking around in there. So that will get pulled at some point, fyi.

To my amazed delight, my story, "Headlights Girl," has reached over 11,000 hits! I'm not certain this is from new people actually clicking on and reading the story or if it's the result of all the hits on it from old Big Closet and the new version getting totalled, but for whatever reason I am grateful to every single one of you who clicked on and read the story.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH! And Thanks too to whoever re-posted it so newer people could read it!

Story about a brother and sister brother was always pick on at school so as they got older sister was getting tired of it so much that one day as the two of them was driving home she saw them she ran them over the brother loving his sister so much took the blame for it they found him guilty. Ended up on death row. The government knew he was innocent but had to make it look good they turn him into a girl. Hope some one remembers the story thank you.

It took two tries due to a wonky connection, but TRI 28 is ready for your reading pleasure.

This is a BBC programme about Scafell Pike, and it should give a real insight to what Stevie loved. It has a shepherdess in it. It has Fat Man's Agony. It has JOSS!

so I've been writing a little chapter for someone (with permission) to get back into writing. Seriously ADHD sucks something fierce but as I'm writing it I just shake my head and glower at my screen. I really don't like my own writing and I am insulting myself in my head over it, disliking my word usage, grammar and the structure of the story.

Is that normal? Or am I in a unique circle of hell here?

Years ago I wrote It Brings On Many Changes. http://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/fiction/481/it-brings-many-cha...

The lyrics to the song that inspired the title were written by a fourteen-year old Mike Altman. It was meant to be "the stupidest song ever". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_Is_Painless

That suicide is painless
It brings so many changes
And I can take or leave them if I please

I just looked for Kitn's story, 'The Rusted Blade' and was unable to find either it or even an author named Kitn. I was going to read it again but it seems to have been removed.

Edit: I just went into check the post and see if it turned out ok and lo and behold down below were links to the story. DOH!! lol Not sure why I couldn't find it using the search feature though.

We have been busy with RL, mainstream publishing projects and a host of other things.
However we will shortly be releasing our latest book here on BCTS.

The lives of two people, separated by centuries, are slowly drawn together as the mystery surrounding a portrait some believe is an undiscovered work by a Renaissance master is unraveled.

Two readers mentioned that they thought I should've added something more about how Max survived falling to Earth, and I agreed. I just modified my story. Please see if the change doesn't make the story better.

I read part of "Alien Investigators" in a writer's group I attend. They are all Muggles but have been very kind to me.

The reading included about 1000 words of the first part of the story, and at the end they were greatly amused, one even suggesting that doing it for Community Theatre could be fun. No one objected to the oblique reference to religion. It was my best effort at comedy.

Has anyone here experience with script writing?

My first post about my personal rules for what makes writing -- whether it be games, movies, stories, etc. -- good or bad did really well, and a lot of people seemed to think I had good advice, and good points.

Well, of course I'm going to take a chance of mucking all that up by adding more!

I have a disability in learning I need a proof editor if you want help me please message me or blog me I will continue my story the Amazons are very evil and are female supremacist want extinction of the male gender

I just posted the first chapter of a novel length story I am writing, but didn't get things exactly right. 1) How do I make my name show up as author instead of "New Author"? 2) How do I select multiple topics in the header categories (where it is allowed)? 3) I posted in an epub format, but what format should I use so that the story is actually visible without having to download the file. 4) How do I link chapters?

Hi,
I've been trying to contact four of the authors from my website, Sapphire's Place, and any help you all can give would be great!
While I have their stories, and at one time, had working email addresses for them, I've has a HD crash ( or two ) since then, and I don't have a CURRENT working way to get in touch with them.
I can understand not sharing their contact info, if you have it, but if that is an issue, please, PLEASE have them contact me!

Has anyone heared frim Shiraz lately? I was wondering if she was OK. Am having heavy Tammy and Heather Withdrawal simptoms!

I am so happy to be able to make another announcement so soon after my last one!

Late last night, I received the latest chapter from Forsythe of his story " Away for the Summer", his hit new Age Regression story!

You can find a link to it from our NEW page at:

http://www.sapphireplace.com/new.html

and while you there check out the other great authors from out " Features Authors Page at:

A few months ago it was announced that Harper Lee had decided to publish anther book.

I was so excited I signed up with Amazon for first day delivery, because To Kill a Mockingbird is one of my all time favorites.

Before I had a chance to read the book I started to hear negatives remarks, but I was in no way prepared for the amateurish writing in Go Set a Watchman.

Either –

1.) Harper Lee was blessed with one hell of a good editor for Mockingbird, or,
2.) She didn’t write Watchman.

For anyone interested in how life and art can converge, I have put some photos up on my author Facebook page (SAA Calvert) of the wonderful Kathryn Tickell performing at the weekend. Tall and lean? Tick. Fiddle? Tick. Long hair now red swinging about as she plays? Oh, very much 'tick'!

The plan:

Sit down with my laptop, taking into account the sunlit balcony and flagons of tea, then prepare #48 for posting, #49 for final editing, #50 for filling out the story outlines into the first draft

The actuality:

Get dragged off to IKEA, buy furniture for the balcony a little less sizable than the bulky 12 year-old table we have been using, spend hours opening cardboard boxes and then screwing, banging and erecting.

So!

Was I:

- IKEAd?
- Flat-packed?
- Swedish ambushed?

Or is there a better verb for this?

I am so happy and very proud to announce that Forsythe has joined that other greats on Sapphire's Place!

Forsythe has become known for his great Age Regression stories, and we look forward to his new chapters of his exciting story " Away for the Summer ", with many more on the way!

You can read his work at his Featured Author page over on Sapphire's Place, and we hope that this is the start of lots of newer authors joining the greats already there!

Enjoy!
Sapphire

I seem to have put my self -- or my characters -- in a dilemma in a couple of the stories posted here.

A lead character is transformed into a female by a woman with vast magical powers. She has rather slutty sex. Then she's told by the woman who transformed her that she can try to act in a less slutty manner, but that such behavior has become part of her nature, and that she can never become a male again.

For a Chill Friday afternoons reading.
