*Great Big HUGS all:)*

I see there is no "Bike" tonight. Angharad is usually quite diligent about telling us if she is too knackered to write. I do hope you are OK.

I have two primary computers, both desaktops, a fairly new E-machine and a custom built unit. For some reason they both simply shut down, and will not restart. I'm no computer expert, but fortunately I recently bought an older Gateway laptop on e-bay.

It's no super machine, but at least I'm online. Unfortunately, all my story notes are on my desktop. I'm still working on it-Luckily I was working on an outline for the next chapter while I waited for my kids, so that's on paper. I'll have a chapter up soon.

Today? Uhhhh...maybe?

Thanks to the kidney stones and the two stents I have in, I am basically on bed rest and can do nothing but surf the net, watch movies, play LOTR online, read and write. So this means good things for you.

Hi all, I've decided upon dropping the entire sci-fi and magical transformation in my latest series of stories I've been writing. I've re-worked several characters and, of course, the plot into a new story. This new story, still untitled as of yet, will be a real world transgender and coming of age story in the style of Becoming Robin and Sarah Carerra (two of my favorite series' on this site), yet this story will be told from a third person perspective (unlike Robin and Sarah).

My book, "The Haight" will be available for free downloads (for Kindle) starting tomorrow, Tuesday the 27th, through Saturday the 31st.

Here's the Amazon blurb:

San Francisco’s famous Haight-Ashbury, 1967: Grace Mackenzie, RN, deals with the flood of patients brought to the Haight-Ashbury Free Clinic during The Summer of Love. She’s a veteran of life in the Haight, living with several women and FreeBear, their landlord and lover, until that life is shaken by a bleeding young boy appearing in the clinic.

It's amazing how serendipity works. You do something, and immediately it leads to something else totally unexpected.

Last Night I was doing research on BWS (Battered Women Syndrome). Today DJ (my long suffering spouse) and I picked up my mom. We were taking her to our house to fix a B-Day dinner for her 77th year. We drove along, DJ called out, "did you see that??" I'd been fiddling with something and only caught a glimpse of a woman being shoved and hit.

There are so many great stories by my favorite authors going up that I'm having a very hard time focusing on writing! My hospital visit came at a lousy time!

I just want to thank you all for making this such a great time to be a reader here, even if you're making it hard to be a writer!

It's been a *lot* of years since high school, and I find myself needing a better idea of what sorts of things they have the kids doing in PE these days. Especially at the start of the year, and at the start of the second semester. Both boys and girls PE.

Heck, I'm not even sure what sports practices would be going on those times of year (Sept/Oct, and Jan/Feb)

So if you have recent experience (either yourself or your kids, let me know. It's for some of the story plotting I'm doing.

Goodness, I just noticed that I've been a member here for five years. Originally, I just blogged a few times because I was posting elsewhere, although Erin was kind enough to give me author status based on my other efforts.

Discovered while leafing through a copy of Web User, a free website which analyses a chunk of text (ideally 200+ words) and reports back on various technical aspects of your writing:

Can you believe that Gaby first appeared over 9 years ago and that the first printed editions came out in 2005? Me neither.

Over the years, many people have contacted me about inconsistences, bad spelling and so on and finally I've done something about it! From today you can get Gaby - The Anime Days 2nd edition which has been reformatted, re-edited (with help from Angharad, thanks again A)and a new cover treatment produced. I hope that overall its a bit slicker and this version will become the definitive one.

Hi everyone I'm back! I got out of the hospital yesterday, and I've been reading some of the stories and commenting, but I'm having a few issues finding time to do everything. I do have the next chapter of Wild Magic, I'm just doing some editing and polishing before I post it. I'll have it up today.

An essay abstract I submitted for a book on Joss Whedon and Theology got accepted. I am really excited to be writing about Buddhism in the Firefly Verse. Should be a lot of fun and a good read.

So my roommate Tanya asked me to help her out while she does a girl scout cookie booth. Well my job is less glamorous. I'm watching the 6 month old child she babysits. It's been an hour and I'vs changed a diaper that caused the dog to run in terror. Now the little ball of joy won't stop crying. I am not a child person. I will be glad when she is done, of course that's four hours from now.

I write at work as some of you know which usually isn't a problem but this was the "lovely" St. Pat's weekend and I've had not much writing time dealing with the massive amounts of "Stupid with a more stupid chaser." So nothing until I recover from the asshattery.

The Family Girl Blogs (aka "The New Working Girl Blogs") Blog #35: Imitation of a Regular Life (2 of 2) To see all of my Family Girl Blogs, click on this link: http://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/book/28818/family-girl-blogs

I am a post-op TG girl, as many know, and I have had to make adjustments over the years - from the simpler, visible side of things, like the way I dress and act and sound (and even smell heehee), to more complicated things like learning new ways to live, to relate to others, and to be happy.   No choice, really, especially after I had changed what my therapist calls my "basic physical parameters," which is 21st century doctor-speak for HRT, SRS and the other plastic surgeries.

It's real difficult adjusting to a feminine life.   That's not to say it's unwanted - after all, these are the things I needed to do to accomplish the magical transition that I had desperately wanted, and eventually  have the life I have dreamed about - to have my imitation regular life.

After reading AoifeM's latest Wyld chapter and reviewing the Wyld Universe Rules Page I realized I goofed! I'd mentioned somewhere, probably in one of the 'Wyld Conversation' blogs, that Wyld transformations are instantaneous. They are also supposed to be without pain and usually accompanied by a flash of light. I totally forgot to include that in the rules page, so I've now added it under rule #9. Since I goofed on that, I'm giving AoifeM a pass for Ryan.

She strikes a chord here.

It's not my fault. Really. heh

My book "Reclamation" is now available as an EPUB on Lulu! For the last few months it's been in Amazon's "Kindle Select" program and therefore exclusive to Amazon. It's sold well and gotten 4.5 stars so far (fingers crossed) and now it's part of the Lulu distribution so will be at the iBookstore for Apple folks, Barnes Noble for Nook folks, and Lulu for everyone else.

Enjoy!

Lulu is having a sale--the headline says it all. Through March 15th--that's this Thursday!--buy three books and get a fourth free. The code is "FOURLEAF".

This is also a shameless plug for my "On the Road-Again" series of, ahem, four books ...
