I just responded to a couple of posts on the FM site. The replies are there if you click on the original posts, but they don't appear on the main hyperboard page.

If anyone happens to be in the Northern California region, come and see our production of a new musical theater adaptation of Francis Hodgson Burnett's "A Little Princess" at the Sacramento Theatre Company (in Sacramento, CA... if that weren't obvious). It's a wonderful story about never giving up on your dreams, about imagination and curiosity and understanding other people even if you don't agree with their choices. On top of that, it's a beautiful production with gorgeous music.

If you need more details on how to get tickets or find the theater, PM me.

We need these on BC!

A girl can't have too many shoes can she? In my case that also applies to bikes and books, the latter outnumbering the former by about 400:1 and I have ten bikes so do your own calculation.

This weeks postings are all correct!

New Gaby here and on Maddybell.com!

No matter how much I don't want it to be so, my van is gone. That has a few ramifications on my life and I'm not happy with them but I will have to make due.

for the moment.

There are five people who log on to Big Closet each using their own account who go through our business internet.

I am one of them.

Just thought I'd drop in and let you know that health issues are still problematic. They are fading, but they are still there. And then there is the kidney stone I passed last night. So yeah... I have had a few distractions of late. I'm even running out of buffer in the Potter fic because of being unable to write for the last two weeks. Lots of fun going on here.

So, I'm still kicking, I am writing some, working on things never fear. And I hope you all are doing fine.

The question I have is after posting a story or part of one is it normal to feel 'depressed'?

Since the death and resurrection of BC, my stories have received more hits but fewer kudos. I accept the extra hits might be multiples by the same reader through continuing tech problems, but curious as to why my kudos rate is down unless of course fewer readers consider my efforts worthy of kudos button.

I've posted the first part, one of ten, of my latest novel, Soaring With Eagles. This is the last story of eight in the California Saga series. I find the title ironic, as the story seems to be going over like a lead balloon or a fart in a diving bell; there was not one kudo in the first 64 reads. Maybe the introduction could have been a bit more explanitory. As much as many want instant gratification, overnight transformations, misdiagnosed birth sex, etc., it ain't going to happen that way.

I think we may have lost a story in the database meltdown last night. We had made a backup of what was going on at one point yesterday and it seems to me that at least one story got posted after that backup which is what we just restored from. Please, I hope everyone is keeping copies of their stories before posting them and if your story posted and disappeared, you can just repost. I hope.

Some people who have seen my comments to story posts, and blogs would be aware I am not dead yet. Neither is Shift Happens. I have been working chiseling out the next installments, and trying to organize, just how to present and format the story, so it makes the most sense. The next portion is titled The Climb , and it was getting to big and cumbersome, to make one post, so it will be in three, A B C .

I read a blog here in BC posted just little while ago, and it caught my eye. I mean, how can it not, with a title like, "Women Better Without Bras." Right? And you don't have to be a boy for a blog like this to pique your interest. Prurient male curiosity aside, women would be interested in the blog, too.

I am considering asking Moment to publish my "Devar Torah: Haphtorah Shofteem: Drunk Without Wine" in their magazine. Do you think it would fit?

Please:

Sorry about the now, huge delay in the next Jade Skirt chapter.

The MAU story has kinda taken over and I can't stop thinking about it for some reason.

Hey folks. Ol' Krunch checking in. Being Christina Chase is finished and judging by the responses from my three fans, it looks like more people liked how it wrapped up than didn't.

So I'm gonna take a victory lap. Novel accomplished. Never doing that again. Story over. Thanks for reading. I hope you liked it. If anyone else wants to rewrite it, continue it, ignore it, etc, have at it.

Hi all my patient and long suffering readers,

The Transsexual and the cross: Disproving the myth that transsexuality is a sin will be published on Thursday (midnight). It will be a dead tree and available on Kindle. I know there has been some that wanted to share this with church groups and link to this site. The work here is incomplete and I prefer not leading people here. I will make the book available in a month or so and I enabled sharing so one copy can be spread around. The cost will be 2.99 and I hope you will consider supporting me as I head into uncharted territory. I think this may be the most important work I've ever done.

I was idly checking things today and decided to check my account just to make sure things were as they should be. Then I scrolled to the bottom to see that I'd been given over twelve thousand Kudos. I'm humbled.

Thank you all.

Maggie

Regrettably chapter 80 of Somewhere Else Entirely will be delayed...

I've written 5,000 words so far and just realized that I have put the cart before the, er, dranakh.

Hey folks. Remember when you were all like, hey Krunch, what gives? When are you gonna finish Being Christina Chase?

For those of you who had been following my Zephyr story I apologize. Family issues and an illness of my own interrupted it for far longer than should have been. The next chapter is in editing now, though.

Maggie

What did I do right compared to the first pass attempt? Info please.
