Main Characters:

  • Kristopher/Kristina Allie Nosvoselic

a recommendation

I have been re-reading a series of comics that have got me thinking, and if you dont mind, I'd like to share a little.

The series is from the Justice league of America, and its called "the obsidian age".

The basic idea is a couple of people come from the past and try and kill the JLA, believing them to be a destructive force. They lose, but retreat to the past, and the heroes decide to follow them - and things dont go well.

Don't underestimate her. (fixed)?

I submitted the story sometime past midnight, I think. The half moon had about set. In the muzzy dawn I wakened and realized that even as a short story, it had gaps and could use a wash and a soak perhaps.

Hope the short story is more rational now.

BTW, You'll need to magnify it about 400%. Unfortunately, the site kinda shrunk it from its original size... LOL.

Love ya, Sis!

Apologies

My apologies for posting late. My muse took longer than I thought to wake up tonight, and by the time I had written and edited the parable, it was already after midnight. I owe all my readers a total of three parables now, one for today (the 5th), as well as the 2 "catch up" ones I was planning, for January 2 and 3 *I am trying to post 2 parables a day, and hope to, by the end of the year, have a full 366 parables on the site.)

Anyway, enjoythest ory. I hope all the Lakota words are self-documenting, as I THINK everyone knows what pemmican and a tipi are.

Yet again, Tracy has returned!

After an almost 3 year break on that one story, Tracy has returned. With life and other things getting in the way, I had little time to write. But I've been trying to get things ready over the past few months. It has not been edited, but hey, Tracy returned.

Lessons I have Learned here –

I was so touched that Haylee V wrote a story about me. I have gotten so much praise that I didn't think I deserved and I thank everyone.

I have been writing just a short few months here. I started out by saying that I gave up on writing about thirty plus years ago because of a horrible experience in a creative writing course at university. I wanted to mention a few lessons I have learned here.

Just a quick heads up

Hello folks

Apologies but there won't be any story posting today - as some of you know, I don't have my own internet connection (I'm writing this on my phone) so I'm reliant on access to my parents line and today I don't I have that.

So the last part of Nena - Remind me Again and first of Gaby - Friends will now be posted on Wednesday.

Blast from the Past

I was trolling the net just now, completely bored out of my mind. I entered the name I used when I was going through myRLT in Pensacola a few years back, and discovered some things I thought forever lost -- my first forays into writing. I was using the Pseudonym Veronica Haylee McKenzie back then, and the stories started out as Canonical for Brittany McMaster's MORFS site. I'm surprised to see them still up, as they have long since become Non-Canon, and hardly resemble anything on her site now. But I was young back then, and had lofty ideals.

an apology

The last few days have been ... difficult for me. Besides the issues with trying to get help from the various levels of government, I have been dealing with pain and several PTSD attacks.

The result is chapter six of my unicorn silliness will be slightly delayed, as I need a "happy happy" mood to create the light and fluffy joy I want the story to have.

So sorry.

Daily Parables by Haylee V

Hi. I hope you are enjoying my daily parables. I've included a title page, sorted chronologically, where all of them may be found. I'll try REALLY HARD to post a new, ORIGINAL one each day, hopefully by Noon, EST. I'll update the title page daily as well, adding links to that day's story as it's posted.

Creating the right title for your story

Taxonomy upgrade extras:

In the 10+ years, I have been writing poetry, creating and finding the right title, for me, has been very hard. Often, I am forced, to wait, until the very end, before attempting to come up, with the right title. Will admit, I have many poems that are left, bearing the title of untitled, when I post them, to my poetry blog. So, how do I come up, with a proper title, when I am writing a serial story/novel, and want to post the various chapters, here? Would love any possible solution or answer, you may have.

a couple of big news announcements

Well, today has been a big news day. First, I might just have a job opportunity. It would be working from home for an escrow company doing customer service mostly over the phone and online. The company would train me, I'd get a small salary during training and assuming I could handle it go to full time 9-5 monday to Friday.

Fingers crossed ...

as if that wasn't enough, I also got a call from the gastro specialist, giving me the time for my consult on getting surgery. It will happen July 18, 130 pm.

As I said earlier, fingers crossed ...

What's been going on.

Hey just letting folks know things have been extra busy IRL and am changing employers so there's been a pile of certs and recerts going on with that plus all the other things that goes with full time graveyard shift plus being the single caregiver to an aging parent.

I have been and am working on a bigger single too that's been dominating my brain as well.

Second chapter of "The Seven Deadlies"

Just a heads up, about to post the second chapter of "The Seven Deadlies" here today or tomorrow and will be fixing the editing on chapter one. Apologies to those who had to read the giant junked up paragraph as that's not how I meant it to look posted.
I will probably be looking for an occasional editor in the near future.

chicken soup for the trans soul

I was trading messages with Haylee V., and she had suggested I submit works to magazines and publications like Reader's Digest and Chicken soup for the soul. Which got me thinking, what about several of the authors here collaborate on our own little collection of stories?

We couldn't probably call it Chicken soup for the Trans soul, but there is probably an equivalent we could use, but that basic idea - real life examples of trans people overcoming difficulties and having success as an inspiration for the rest of us - could be really interesting.

What do you guys think?

Bike - heading up to another hundred.

I hope no thinks it arrogant, but as Bike heads towards 3200, I know I shall be able to fill those episodes, albeit not necessarily on a daily basis. I've submitted my (I hope) end of term assignment which Whizz helped me write - got to blame someone if it fails. If it does I have to resubmit as I passed the others.

Throwing things against the wall

Never underestimate the power of guilt. :-)

I have never stopped writing. I have just stopped believing any of it was worth posting.

Out of an overwhelming sense of shame that I have abandoned the characters in my tales and the readers who have taken the leap of faith to invest their time reading ....works in progress... I have - very reluctantly - posted slight additions to three of my unfinished tales.

They don't terribly advance the narrative. Their purpose is more to show that I have not given up on telling any of the stories.

slight delay

Just to let everybody know there will be a slight delay on the release of the next chapter of "Help! My girlfriend is a unicorn!" See, I thought I had the story all finished, but it turns out my muse had other ideas. Hopefully, it wont be a long delay ...

Why am I being logged out

I have changed computers and the OS from XP to Win 7 and every time I take any action I am logged out and have to log back in or even if I do nothing. Is there something I'm missing as my last upgrade was about 5 years ago but that was from another XP machine.

I appreciate any help.

Busy busy

Sorry haven't had the time or energy to write much of late. I have one more assignment to do for my course for this year, which I have to complete this weekend to submit before next thursday, the deadline. It counts as an exam and will be marked quite strictly and by someone other than my normal tutor, so I'm slightly anxious about it. I've been researching the subject in any spare time I have, hence no Bike this week and I've also been coping with a sore shoulder which doesn't like me typing for very long and occasionally has kept me awake at night, so I'm a little more tired than usual.

About Dirty Dancing

They just showed a remake of Dirty Dancing on television and I know some may disagree, but I loved it. I loved the original movie, of course, but there was so much family and social transition going on that fascinated me, besides the question, "Will Baby do the lift?" The new one offered much deeper and different characterizations, including a different ending. So ...

SPOILER ALERT! Do not read any further if you A) Haven't seen the 2017 version or B) Loved the final scene just as it was.

May 25th Update

So, just a quick update on what has been happening as of late. I've been working on my second book and it's nearly complete. All that's left is a bit of editting to do, choose a really cool cover, and publish. I've already started working on refreshing my Whateley series so it's non-whateley, which basically means rewritting most the entire first book, which is what I'm currently working on. I don't get nearly as much time to write as I'd like so hopefully it won't take long to do.

the weather outside is frightful

As I write this, it is bucketing rain outside, and Edmonton has a high wind warning for this afternoon with gusts up to 100 km an hour.

So today is a good day to stay inside, and I decided also a good day to release the next chapter of "Help! My girlfriend is a Unicorn!"

I know these chapters are short, which is one reason why I want to keep them coming fairly regularly so it hopefully doesnt get too annoying.

Enjoy!

Tammy's end!

Finally, I have published the final chapter of Tammy:It's Complicated

Sorry for the delay, but my muse went for a very long walk and it was only this morning that I felt sure I could put together a decent chapter - although that's for everyone to decide!

Meanwhile, it'll be a while before the next Tammy series (which has no title yet), but I'll first return to work on Unaccounted Gains

Hugs

Getting close to finishing a new story

If I still have fans after the disaster of my last story, they will be glad to know I've made some progress on a new story, and if all goes well I hope to be able to start releasing it a chapter at a time before the end of the month.

Cant guarantee this, though. Real life has been a slog this week, and if that trend continues my available spoons for writing will be seriously diminished.

Anyway, I just thought I'd let everybody know.

If I don't get this right please forgive me.

Good Afternoon All,

I hope this will do what I intended but.... As I am new to this site - who knows?

The reason for my attempt is a notation I found on my sister's computer stating someone here wanted a copy of her story,
"The Last of the Fey".

The request was likely made back around the start of the year as she died April 01 so it would not have been after that...........

at least I hope not. If it was, then that would mean she could see the future or she could leave notes on her computer post her death for me to find.

Trixiebell Heartswoon - the end?

Well its been a less than exciting week so far - damp weather, trips to collect meds and parcels on Monday but otherwise I've been tied to the keyboard writing even more Gaby! Yep, I'm well into the next arc and I expect to have it finished for the end of the month.

This week however, the writing is over and advance warning - no post on Sunday as I'm taking a trip archaeological to the Brecon Beacons in south Wales, starting tomorrow.

Story updates

As you all may know I posted a blog semi recently saying I was quitting writing for awhile. Well I decided to give it another try and I have made some decent progress on a few of my stories:

Broken Phoenix: This story will be making a comeback soon. I have Chapter 4 in the works and it's going steady.

Time To Fly: This story will also be making a return. My plan is to alternate between this story and Broken Phoenix every other week.

I also have a short story on the way before I post either of the previously mentioned stories.
