I think I first discovered this site when I was about 14 or 15. I must've come here every day to read the stories posted here. These stories got me through the absolute worst moments in high school. I fell off when I went to university, but throughout the pandemic I was feeling nostalgic and I went back through the site (and some old bookmarks) to re-read some of my favourites. It was crushing seeing how many names have since been added to the memoriam. I just wanted to thank everyone.

Maybe it's only interesting to me but these were some of my absolute favourites as a teen:

The latest chapter, #5 of my autobiography is up on Patreon.

Chapter 5 - Painting the Chinaberry Trees

Momma, Daddy and me (age 3) head for California to rescue my Aunt Opal.

From the beginning.

My adventures as a bratty toddler crossing the western US several times. :)

What? Another story? How did that happen? In my problems over the last few months, I sometimes had trouble focusing on certain things. This was a new idea which came to me at one time and I ran with it.

Yep, that's Chrimbo day gone, done and dusted!

I had hoped to offer you another chapter of Ontario this evening, -'ve got as far as first draft on the site but despite many attempts it won't preview so I can't post it. (this is from my phone). After best part of 2 hours of trying i've now given up, life is too short to waste it waiting for the site to work.

"Boy what day is this? "

"Why Christmas day sir, but I'm a girl! "

"Sorry I've just woke up. The spirits have shown me the error of my ways."

"They didn't tell you to be careful about misgendering trans people then?"

"This is 1843, anyone that say they're the opposite sex is often locked away in a mental institution."

I wanted to comment on my story, "Moments of Madness", and offer some support to people who might feel similar, even if different, to how I felt at that time.

I am reposting the story mainly because I needed to fix it up and get it out there again. This is mostly because it is to help me and my feelings I have now, but maybe someone who reads it might feel a connection, and it might help them, perhaps.

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to make sure to let you know that I have been able to write again. My two jobs kept me busy the last few months and I have been struggling with anxiety and mental health in general as well. Mostly due to Covid but other things as well.

I will soon post the next part to "The life of Riley". I'm sorry for the long wait. I hope I didn't disappoint anyone too much.

I'm just Wondering when some more Book for the Morfs Universe is coming out????

Look i told you not to plug that last Santa in, now we can't watch Chitty or even listen to the Queens Speech!

I know that there are fans of classic Sci- fi here and I have just finished what I believe is the best robot book since Isaac Asimov. It's Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguru. Ishiguru is a brilliant writer and takes Klara to a level beyond what Asimov did in his robot novels.

working on the final three chapters…
Next up is the town socialite Christmas party with Nikki finding herself as the unexpected guest of honor of the Thomas family.

Each of us has only so many minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years in this life. There is no buying or bartering for more. When others steal our labors they steal part of our life. There is no way to replace the time in our life stolen from us. Most figure it's a monetary thing. lost finances but it's much more. As I was skimming the net this never came up in Google but it did in Bing. If one is looking to find how many sites reference back to one's accomplishments it wouldn't hurt to use several different search engines.

I have published just a very short piece of whimsy today, from some of my older material which really ought to be up here as BC is my true home.

I have to confess that I have written nothing for a few weeks. I received the results of some tests last month and last week I was rushed into hospital for the removal of a large chunk of me. I am slowly recovering from that.

working away in front of my log fire on my entry for the Christmas Comp when disaster struck.

It was my third attempt at a story when a Christmas Film came on the TV. Five minutes in, and I knew that the 3,000 odd words that I'd written were junk. The plot of the film and my story were almost identical. For a moment, I felt like throwing my MacBook at the TV but I didn't. I'd certainly not seen the film before and was made in 2019.

My muse saw the similarity and promptly exited stage left into the distance at a great rate of knots and that's it.

One on a moped, two in a car....

Hi!

"Dragon's Mark" Chapter 2 is on BC!

Chapter 6 is now also posted ahead on Patreon. (Thanks, Erin!)

HUGS!

apparently I should have made "Demonstration Model" my entry in the Christmas contest !

New little story up!

Things are moving slowly on my entry in the Christmas Story Contest. But it's not my fault! My editor is taking her sweet time going over the text as I write this blog. I'd be really upset but she's told me the story is just purr-fect. She'll say anything to get more Temptations cat treats.

Hi all

I am going to finish Surgeon's lodger soon. I may give Michelle a nice Christmas , as she has not had one since her mum died. Then on with the "op". Then an asteroid will destroy her and Sam LOL,

I have an idea for a historical action story. Is it ok to put the first part on here? It will have no trans elements. I just want some opinions.

This blog is just to help people find the story contest entries.

Story contest entries should show up at this link: Click here!

I'll keep this blog near the top of the list of blogs on the front page through early January. If you haven't entered the contest yet, please do!

Hugs,
Erin

In the reading of my own old stories, there are over 40 of them, it is clear that they all possess an embarrassing trait. They all seem to reveal the protagonist to be a Submissive in search of a Dominant. They reveal to me why my wife of 38 years always complained that I was too feminine. She did not understand that I was not so feminine but simply a servant, or desired to be. It is sad that we can not just be.
