Tomorrow will be ten years since Holly Hart passed away. It still feels strange to me that Holly is gone. They say time heals all wounds but I’ve found that when people pass they leave a hole commensurate in size with the role they played in your life. That hole doesn’t ever go away, it just becomes part of the landscape - a monument in a sense. And as you traverse its circumference you feel the loss and hopefully remember the joy as well.

Completely off topic.

There's a new Barbie book for girls, I Can Be a Computer Engineer.

In the book, she apparently can't write any code:

Wow.

I mean, seriously, wow.

Hey folks. Ol' Krunch checking in. Being Christina Chase is finished and judging by the responses from my three fans, it looks like more people liked how it wrapped up than didn't.

So I'm gonna take a victory lap. Novel accomplished. Never doing that again. Story over. Thanks for reading. I hope you liked it. If anyone else wants to rewrite it, continue it, ignore it, etc, have at it.

Hey folks. I have a quick note on Being Christina Chase. It seems that some people thought chapter 46 was the last chapter. It's not.

I use a lot of different editors depending on the job I'm doing. While I went through a number of writing tools, my main squeeze is, and has been for quite some time, Scrivener. Nothing is perfect, but this is as close as I've seen for writing long form fiction. I can't say I use it for anything else, but it nails writing novels. If you haven't been using Scrivener, you should try it.

Just handed off Being Christina Chase chapter 53 to my esteemed editor Holly. Man, everything takes longer than you think it does, but it's just about done. I have one final chapter to bang out and we're off to the races.

To all concerned parties,

In response to this:

In pain, tired, hurt, depressed, and very sad

Oi.

So, I'm having a crappy day. As many of you may or may not know or care, I've been hard at work finishing off Being Christina Chase to please my three fans, even though two of them have given up all hope that the story will ever be finished.

Howdy folks. I've been under the weather all week. That is to say, weather's been over me. I've been sick. Get it? Geeze.

Anywho, I will try to get the next chapter of Being Christina Chase up by tomorrow night, but I can't promise I'll get it in on time. It might come later in the weekend.

That's it!

So, to my three fans, I'm posting a warning note, and this is not a Halloween joke. I'm currently having some technical difficulties on a number of fronts.

So it was roughly six months ago when I first started posting Being Christina Chase, and the response has been pretty good. The story is slowly creeping up in the all time popular content list, and I get a good number of hits on every chapter. All in all, I have to think I'm doing pretty well for a first time writer. That said, Holly has done a great job of cleaning my stuff up.

So, I finally got around to posting chapter seven of Being Christina Chase, though a few days late. Even though this chapter has essentially been in the bag for probably a year or so, I made some last minute changes due to Holly Logan's invaluable feedback. It would have been on time had I not recently fallen irrationally and hopelessly in love and that I'd been traveling all weekend.

Chapter three of Being Christina Chase should be up. It's the first chapter that has any TG content. I talked it over with Holly, and she seems to think I sold the premise. Which is good, cause I went through a lot of trouble, and if you don't buy it, well, then I guess you just won't like the story too much. I think I've done a decent job of allowing the premise to happen. I buy the execution, though I'm not a crossdresser, nor am I transgendered. People are either going to take the leap with me or not at this point. I hope people like it. But, if they don't, well I dunno.

So the first chapter of "Being Christina Chase" is posted. I'm not sure what the response is going to be considering that it's a chapter of a novel as opposed to a self-contained story. Also, it's pretty damned long, and there's no tg content to speak of. Not that there won't be any tg content, just not in the first chapter. I hope people like it; I know I sure as hell wouldn't read anything that long, But I digress...
