Not me, Gaby!

I got a new story up. Hope you guys like it: https://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/fiction/84436/coven-encounter

Well, the next chapter of Tommy - The Trials and Tribulations of a Girl? is out. It took a kick in the butt to my muse and a couple of early mornings with a lot of coffee to put the finishing touches on it. So, I hope that you enjoy it.

Hugs,

Teddie

I have posted 68 stories on Big Closet Top Shelf.
This week Laika said of my collection: "Such variety in your stories ... It's like some crazy anthology show that while some variation on a transgender theme is always there, it otherwise doesn't stick to any one genre. One day it's twilight zone, Alfred Hitchcock Presents the next, then Love American Style or Death Valley Days."
Thank you Laika. As I said to her, that is just what I am trying to do.
But it did prompt me to look at what the readers on this site really like.

My muse is back, and I got a story started. But my biggest issue with my writing right now is I get squirreled by other ideas than the one I want to finish.

Well, as I feared, the next chapter of "Tommy - The Trials and Tribulations of a Girl?" is going to be delayed a bit. And there are two reasons, first and not the biggest reason is that the grandkids are here every day (mom and dad are still working). The second reason is the biggest. I got lost while working on the next chapter. I knew where I was, and I knew where I wanted to go, but NOT how to get there. The batteries in my GPS are dead, so it's no help. I'm good at using the stars to guide my travel, but it's been too cloudy here.

This is a partial reposting/expansion of a blog on my website, but people almost never reply to my blogs there.

Imagine your over-served roommate, Teddy, announcing to that braying jackass in the bar, “You need a good slap.”

Now slur those words and add in five salient facts: 1.) Your roommate is built like a fireplug, 2.) he boxed Golden Gloves too many years, 3.) his face is right out of Guys and Dolls, 4.) his childhood would have shocked Dickens, and 5.) recently when his girlfriend had the gall to break up with him, he painted her car – with a broom and gallon of red enamel.

Happy Easter!

I hope it doesn’t need to be said, but it can’t hurt. I’m not defending the character that I sketched in “The Monster”.

I saw a reference to a story on another site but it didn't give the author or the title, it just made reference to something that was "just like that story".

The reference was to a boy who had gynecomastia and was required to wear a girls swimsuit for a swim class at school. He was then invited to a party by one of the girls that turn out to be a swim party, which she hadn't told him. She loaned him a swimsuit which he wore at the party with the other girls. Then was invited to a sleep over after the party.

In my dreams!

The Fall of Kruhl - Worlds Apart

The Fall of Kruhl - The Beast with Two Backs By Daniel A. Wolfe Overwhelmed by the desires of her female form, Kruhl finds that sometimes it’s just easier to give in to them.

Woman in the Corner Office. It takes too long to type it all the time. In any case I just wanted to say I will post Friday mornings and Monday afternoons, two chapters at a time. I know they are short. They are first person 'in the moment' so will not have all the details a narrator might impart. I could have posted four chapters at once but then I would have posted once a week instead of twice.

For all of you who read today's chapter of I Wish, thank you so much for reading my work, I love you all.

That being said I pulled a small April Fools joke, by omitting the last paragraph of the chapter. It's there now though if anyone wants to see how it really ends and read the April fools comment I posted at the end.

Here's hoping you can all take a joke, but I'm going to hide from rotten foodstuffs, just in case.

*big hugs to you all*

I’m a prisoner in my home with time on my hands.

Over the years, I’ve made the statement many times that there is very little correlation between the quality of writing and the number of hits, quotes, and kudos.

To test this -- I took the last ten stories I’ve posted on BC. . .that still are posted as free stories and listed them in order of the best to worst. They’re my stories, I can do that. Unlike kids, having a favorite story is allowed.

is now available!

Yesterday under the random solo list, a story by Randalynn appeared that I didn't remember reading, so I went ahead and read it. Once I started reading, I recognized most of the characters and had read some or most the stories they were in.
The question is; "Where is Randalynn"? It has been a while, literally months since the last post and longer since a new story part. I ask because I enjoyed the stories.

After I published my last little piece, I was informed I've been mislabeling them as "drabbles". I always thought a drabble was 100 words or less, apparently its 100 words exactly. So what do I do about the section of my stories titled "Dorothy's Drabbles"?

Suggestions please.

I keep several short stories going so I have something to turn to when I need a break from working on a book. I was working on such a story this evening when a depressing thought struck me. The world these stories take place in no longer exists. And I'm not sure if it comes back. Most of my stories take place in the "now". But the "now" in the stories I've started, including the book I'm working on is no longer reality. So why am I bothering?
