the history of Solomon's Test

I hope you guys don't mind, but I'd like to give a little background on my story, Solomon's test.

See, the story is actually the 2nd oldest story I have published here.

(The first, if you're curious is called "Six Forty-Five")

See, way back in my teens, I started fiddling with the idea of becoming a writer, and wrote down some story titles I felt I could expand into full stories. And, as I had recently become a fan of super hero comics, one of those ideas involved creating a hero of my own.

bad case of the nasties today

I fight a lot of nasties.

Today's nasty is called "Dorothy, you're a burden - when you aren't an outright hazard - to those who care about you. Best thing you could do for them would be go away or lock yourself up"

So if you got anything nice to say to me, today might be a good day to say it.

I'm ready for the next contest

Well, I finished my contest entry. I wasnt sure about doing an entry, as this contest doesnt play into my strength which is flash fiction, but I got it done, and before the contest even starts, to boot. I can hardly wait to see what people think of it ...

I need some volunteers

I have a rather unusual request. In my next story I have a character who will be offering trans people the opportunity to re-write their personal history, so they always were the girl (or boy) their heart says they are. And what I would like is to use a couple of real-life people as getting the offer. Talia has already given the go-ahead for me to use her, but I would very much like to get a couple more if I can. So if this sounds interesting to you, please PM me.

Well, when the day started, it was a pain and cane day.

Then it was a blood and bad memories day.

My mom is having a wistful day today, as it is the anniversary of the birth of her oldest child - who tragically died two days after being born.

I have often wondered if the fact that he died, and both me and my older brother both almost died as babies plays into the fact I'm trans ...

my next story will be dedicated to crazypagangurl

Some of you might know that Crazypagangurl (aka Tiffany) had been working with me on a pathfinder story. I intend that when it's finished, the story will be dedicated to her.

I hope that's okay ...

PTSD revelation

I have come to realize that my PTSD is about more than my rapes. Its every little trauma that followed the same neural pathway like little streams following the path of a mighty river. No wonder that by the time I finally sought help I had such a mess in my head ...

a profound moment at the pool?

Blog About:

I went to a local pool today, and they have a "lazy river". It was really nice and kind of fun to let the current take me along, but there was always the security in knowing that if I wasnt happy with where I was going all I had to do was stand up. Gee, there might be something profound in that, dont you think?

wanted to give you guys an update. Now that my new computer is up and running, I am hoping to get back to writing as my spoons allow. unfortunately, as the two projects I have on the go are longer than my usual, including one I hope to make into my entry in the next contest, it will be a while before I have something to share with you all.

But I'll still be my usual comment-happy self, so no worries there ....

Canada's contributions

I have been reading up on Canada's contributions to world War one, and it's staggering. Almost 1 tenth of the population served, one third of those died were wounded or captured. And especially in the last 100 days they played a key role in winning the war. Rest easy soldiers you are not forgotten
