Welcome to M.Y.T.H. school

Starting soon, Bonnie and Melody will be joining a group of teenage magical creatures at a brand new school:

The magical youth training house AKA: M.Y.T.H. School.

Mundanes who go near will see the school name as the Micheal Yosef Tomas-Howe alternative school

And I am opening the school up to other authors. If you have an idea for a magical creature story that could be set in the school, please let me know!

A big change

There has been a change in me.

Maybe it has been there for a while, but I finally noticed it on Sunday before church.

To understand this change, you have to understand how SCARED I was going out in public in feminine clothes when I started my transition. EVERY time was nerve wracking terror just to step outside my door.

And then, before church on Sunday, I walked over to a convenience store to pick up a paper and as I walked in my pretty dress, I realized - I wasn't afraid anymore.

Pretty neat, no?

a step back from the edge

Not for the first time, I have been reminded of the value of friends.

Thanks to several friends, I cried some tears, and then began the long slow slog out of darkness. I finally realized I was indulging in self-pity as well as self-punishment, and neither is healthy - or warranted.

To get myself further back from the brink, I decided I needed a distraction, and so went to see the movie Wonder Woman, which was excellent.

My deepest thanks to all who sent me messages of support.

Huggles for each and every one of you.

I am close to being suicidal

Remember how I had said my unemployment claim had finally been settled, and I was going to start getting some money?

Well, apparently not so fast.

Went down to the office today to give a direct deposit form, only to find out my claim is still in limbo, and I have NO idea when or even if its gonna change.

I am really close to wanting to go play in traffic ...

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.

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.

As if I haven't had enough trouble, according to the lady from the Alberta government who is helping me, my application for handicapped assistance has disappeared and I am going to have to fill it out again.

Sighs ... can I bonk my head repeatedly now?

bad day

Well, today has not been a very good day for me.

First, I had a serious PTSD moment trying to get into the shower this morning, and it took me till almost noon to get calmed down enough to be able to actually get clean.

then, I had a bit of a breakdown at the unemployment office, and started crying.

On the plus side, they did tell me to expect a phone call on the status of my claim before the end of next week.

I'm ... gonna go to my blanket fort now ...

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 ...

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?

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 ...

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!

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.

I saw my counselor today, and it was a good session.

She believes there may be a chance for me to get some volunteer experience working with the food bank which would possibly lead to a full time job working for them.

We'll have to see how things work out.

speeding up the release of part 3 of Case file 2

Well, since it seems that my worst fears about chapter 2 of "Case file 2: the Profiler" were in fact less than the reality, and the chapter has gone over like a lead balloon, I'm going to publish the third and final chapter now, and end the story.

Sorry it disappointed people. Sometimes, I guess, some ideas I have just dont fly.

A word of warning about chapter 2 of Case File 2

I have put up chapter 2 of my new story "Case File 2: The Proflier:" but a word of warning.

The chapter contains a moment of forced sex.

I didn't really want to do include it, but eventually decided that the chapter needed the moment to show how dangerous the villain was.

I have done my best to make it readable, but please use caution if you are at all sensitive to the subject.

If you make it through the story, I'd love to hear what you thought of it.

Huggles ahead of time.

Big, huge, enormous news!

I ... have an interview tomorrow. For a job.

What's really cool was that although I had to put my male name on my resume, I included Dorothy as my preferred name, and that's the name the lady who contacted me used.

I am going to be a bit of a nervous wreck so huggles appreciated!
