I am looking for a story that I have read several times but not recently. Do not remember the author, title or main character's name. The main character is a 65 year old male design engineer working in a small branch of a much larger company. His branch of the company is sold to another company. This has happened to him several times during his career. Each time in the past, he ended up getting laid off in a downsizing move before he qualified for company benefits. Feeling that history is about to repeat itself, our character gets a friend to help him present himself as a woman.

...between paragraphs, that is.

Reading on-screen is different than reading on a page but any large block of text can be difficult to read if the eye cannot find an anchor point to return to when it reaches the end of a line.

Since HTML removes the indents at the beginning of paragraphs, the online standard has become to put a blank line between paragraphs. Or at least, a blank line every few lines (a la Maddy Bell) if the lines are short.

Science and Dan O'Neil both explain that Tuesday afternoon is the most productive time of the week. No one wants to work on Friday or Monday or any morning at all for that matter. And Thursday afternoon is taken up making plans for Friday; you can't get things done on Wednesday because that's Hump Day, for gosh sakes.

That leaves only Tuesday afternoon, you're awake and rested from the weekend, Friday is far enough away you can pretend you have plenty of time to make plans and you need room on your desk to eat your Hoagie so you might as well do some work.

I'm looking for a story about a long haired, Computer Geek who starts to drive his car over the mountains and wrecks in a storm. Kind, helpful Russian Immigrants pick him up, and mistake him for a distant female Cousin. They get him cleaned up and all the mud off him and get him into girl's clothes and all that. Later she meets a Lawyer who falls in love with her, and you know where it goes from there.

I thought it was AA that wrote it but it appears not. Oh, it was Christina Chase!!! but who wrote it?

I noticed at approximately 2030 UST that my earlier novel Mindful had been re-posted.
I was pleasantly surprised by this (Thanks Erin) There is a copy for sale on Amazon.

I then set about reading some of the old comments and somebody had mentioned that they preferred to read a novel length story in one session, rather like a book.

Consequently, I've re-posted the follow-on novel Mindful 2 in it's entirety but it is also up for sale on Amazon and the proceeds go to BC (I think)

This may blow your mind!

Its been a while since I've given an update on what stories I'm working on, so here goes:

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Dot:set in Amethyst's Hyperverse, its the story of a young man with gender issues, who is turned into a girly girl.

Rose the Bunny:Is it weird that I'm writing a Christmas story in May? This one is thanks to Rosy Redd, so when it comes out, blame her. :P

The secret of Myth:Its possible everybody gave up on this story, cause I had nothing for a long time. But its not dead yet ...

This past weekend was a good time for writing, and then I was able to spend some time doing som editing on it. So, I just published a new chapter of Tommy - The Trials and Tribulations of a Girl?

Enjoy,

Teddie

Since, I decided to resume work on Legacy of Earth, after The Fall of Kruhl, I started looking at the cover art and decided to revamp the images for the entire series (plus the universe).

You can view the full-size images (and their captions) on my website. I love doing this sort of stuff and I hope you all enjoy them :)

now on Amazon!

I found the following event and thought it might be of interest to writers and aspiring writers. There are also some additional virtual book events that will take place in May.

Neil Gaiman in Conversation with N. K. Jemisin: May 2

Got up this morning with a paragraph in my head. Finally had to write it down.

Sanford was one of those guys. You know, the ones who can eat anything they want, as much as they want and never gain an ounce. The ones who look great in casual clothes or a tailored suit or just your imagination. Of course, he got up every morning before dawn, did his stretches and ran two miles before breakfast. Yeah, one of those guys.

Obviously, I'm one of those gals who get up in the morning with a paragraph stuck in their head. :)

A bonus posting today!

Here is a story challenge: A student (any age), upon returning to the classroom, is given the assignment to write about what they did while on social distancing.

So what does the student write?

Looking for a Whateley story that happens just after ...

... Whateley timeline Christmas 2006 and the story by Maggie Finson and Babs Yerunkle

... Christmas Elves: Fey and Jade's Holiday Havoc

Cavalier and Skybolt pay The Don (Sebastiano Lorenz Valensuera y Ramirez) a visit and I believe that this was the cause of his downfall not just as the head of the Alpha's bit for top of the Academy

Can anybody remember the title of the story?

The Huntress Chronicles book 2 chapter 1 is OUT!

I hope you all enjoy it, I'm sorry it took so long. I had a very messy and terrible break up and it has been... devastating me. Also this covid 19 situation has me scared for my life.

Thank you for all who stayed, I hope you enjoy this latest chapter. I cant wait to see how many of you correctly guessed the truth, or found out you were horribly wrong about everything hehehe :D

I got something almost done, but its not a "story" per se.

Its a brief recounting of the background and history of one of my favorite fictional universes.

I have no idea how its gonna be received.

(Hides in blanket fort)

my apologies

I am not sure who reads my blogs or whether people go back to read my replies, so I am starting a new conversation on this topic.
In a recent blog I received these comments:
Alys9 said: One category of story I find unsatisfying ... where the new girl suddenly and thoroughly becomes nicer, cleverer, and often better looking and more skilled than the better-practised real-girls who have become her friends. It just exaggerates and makes the story unlikely.

The other day I was feeling pretty good about myself. Admittedly that is a common occurrence as I'm almost as self-confident as our Fearless Leader, who has plenary power according to Mike Pence. Being a former altar boy myself I know that when Pence uses the word "plenary" he's calling on his Baltimore Catechism education to define "plenary" as absolute and unqualified.

What caused me to trip the light narcissistic was the ever growing number of hits on my old stories.

Then an disturbing thought crossed my mind.

How many of those hits are actually bots?

Not me, Gaby!
