Managed to get that chapter done and posted. Took a lot longer than it should of, but health concerns are a pain in the tuckus and hold up many a project. So hopefully I can get back to juggling stories and get caught up on things. We'll see. Just letting you all know that I'm gonna try but I have a new Tegan book taking up my time as is Written In The Body. I will be doing what I can until those are out and done. Just a heads up, but things should be better now, as I am feeling a good bit better and can write more. Enjoy.

Last year, I came across a book about what makes a hero a hero, and a villain a villain, and what the differences really are. Ok, I lost the link to the book and was wondering if anyone here has, perchance, seen it? Basically, who is the greater good person, the hero that accidentally floods the valley and lets a few innocents die, or the villain who saves the people but makes the hard decisions on who to save? Call thenm the arrogant hero and the tragic villain. There are so many writers here, there must be an answer somewhere, just need to keep looking :P
Thanks!

It is finished. Well, almost finished. I summed up my arguments against trans-sexuality being a sin. Now I want to give an accurate description of your average transsexual because I think society at large doesn't have a clue. I should be done the end of this week and need to edit. Then I need a strong marketing push.

Please, please, please, put away 2.99 for you to buy this the day it comes out and tell others to do the same. I think it is in all our bests interest if this makes the top 10 apologetic list on Amazon.

That's a wrap folks. Part two is going through a second edit and should post tomorrow sometime. This concludes all writing on Angel Season One, and now it's time for a little break. This is a stellar personal achievement of mine, one I am very proud of considering my past dislike for writing. In the seven months I have been writing, I have finished with a word count just over 199k. Feels great to see something through, from start to finish.

just seem to be multiplying!

Sorry folks, got watching part 1 of Labyrinth by Kate Mosse and the night just disappeared. Part 2 is tomorrow but I shall try to do Bike early or late. I have an early bike ride tomorrow and the clocks go forward overnight, so that's an hour off my beauty sleep - and believe me I need all the help I can get in the beauty department.

So apologies to my regular readers, will try to do better tomorrow.

Two of my stories previously posted here on BCTS are revised, expanded, and available as Kindle books.

Lately, I have been seeing several words on any story I'm reading that appear as "Links". I thought this was a new advertising strategy and have not objected. Well, now it's appearing on other sites and one user has suggested that I have a "bot" or something. So are the rest of you seeing this or its it strictly my issue.

I'm stunned. I the last week, I've gone from a bit over 1000 kudos to over 1400.

Yeah, I posted 5 stories/chapters, but even so. That first thousand took years.

Still seems unreal though.

YES! My head has stopped hurting as much and ideas are starting to flow and I already have over 1k written for the next chapter. It is moving slowly but surely in the direction of getting completed. So yes, story is moving towards getting done and I am not dying due to my head exploding. Life is good.

Things are going really well and I am still plugging away at my academic/religious work "The Transsexual at the Cross: Disproving the myth that transsexuality is wrong" It isn't that long, but very intense on research and logic, therefore also very draining. I have to decide a lot of important factors.

Well I have finally gotten the next chapter of 'A Boy and His Dog' done. It only took me two months. Bet y'all thought I had given up, didn't ya?

My new DRU story is going to be delayed a few days. I was hoping to write the first chapter this weekend and post it but it seems sickness has found me :( So hopefully I'll have it up and written by the end of the week :)

In the meantime...for those who are interested here's a little tease: the main character has blonde hair so start your guessing :)

Got a question about practices in girl's PE principaly high school.

Jennifer Jane Pope posted this extensive listing of Brit terms/slang a few years ago at Crystal's Storysite. I thought that if one has interest in the Hartlepool Dictionary, they might want to add this to their lexicon as well.

I haven't heard from Jenny in several years, and don't know if she is still writing or, in fact, if she is still among the living. We used to talk quite a bit in the chatroom at Storysite, but she went somewhat quiet owing to some business problems she was having and eventually she just stopped coming by the chat and sort of dropped out of sight.

A HARTLEPOOL DICTIONARY

After a comment I received today on Motherland Part II. I am officially giving up writing. Why bother? What's the point? Slaving away for months on end, giving up a social life only to find out that I could have spared myself the heartache if I had just gone to bestessay.com and purchased pre-written essays from their large database of prewritten essays, term papers, research reports...wait, do they have a transgendered fiction section?

The following was posted as a comment on my episode of Angel, Motherland Part II. Anyone else get this?

Many of you know Loki, my fellow writer in the Darkrealms Universe. Well the two of us have been having some discussions on a possible story idea for my Greylands Universe that Loki would like write. With that in mind I have decided to open up the Greylands Universe to other writers and I am very happy to have Loki as the first author to join me in my own little playground. So hopefully you will all soon see what Loki has to add to the Greylands. From what we've been discussing it should be a lot of fun ;)

I am about to embark on a project that scares the life out of me. That being said I feel that it is too important a task not to complete and I can't wait and hope that someone else will complete it.

I have started the work that I may have been born to do. It is an apologetic work entitled "The transsexual at the cross: Disproving the myth that transsexualism is wrong"

It seems that today I've been posting stuff here for 5 years and 52 weeks - doesn't tempus simply just fugit? In that time I suppose I have posted a few things here, about ten zillion blogs, over two thousand episodes of serials and fifty odd short stories - odd being the operative phrase.

I hate to think how many hours I've spent writing for, posting on or reading stuff here but it must be thousands of hours. In return, I've received 104,149 Kudos from you, thousands of comments and made loads of friends.

What are peoples idea of seeing a girl of 13 hanging out with a boy 16? Would you consider it taboo, even if the two are like friends? This is a question for a possible story.

Sorry folks. but given that I've been sick the past three days I will have to delay my next chapters of Bloodlines and Trial and Heiress until Friday. Winter's Child and Alex in Wonderland should be on schedule this week since I had managed to get a couple chapters ahead on those.

Strings of Sighs has been published for only a little over 24 hours and it has already reached my third highest Kudos score, out of a total of 61 stories and episodes published to date.

More significantly, it means that my top three placed stories all involve the pupils at the Seacombe Independent Girls High School (SIGHS) as, for one reason or another, they coerece the boys at the neighbouring school to try to be more like them.
