Today is the happiest day of my life. I want to share with you guys how my day went from feeling like it would ruin the rest of my life to being so Happy I broke into tears. I finally came out to an actual person In Real Life In Person with complete transparency that I was a Transgender woman in the closet for fear of scrutiny and scandal as well as fear for my life. The new pastor at my church. I was worried how he would react.
I want to tell you guys a true story about myself.
I am a very religious Catholic as well as my family. I am from small town USA where i am known by almost everyone here. For this reason i have had one hell of an existence living in the closet. For many years, i have been struggling with my sexual identity and orientation.
I'm sort of stuck in writers... its not a block its more like a soup. Like you know the direction you want to go but are completely at a loss at the starting point. I know i want to write an epilogue for Helen's Diary but for the life of me i cannot pin down how far into the future i want her life to advance. I think i want to use the epilogue to branch into a new story because that is where my brain goes when one door closes a window is cracked open so you can break-in in the likely event you have lost your keys.(cameos) i just don't know how much of Helen i want in the next story.
Hi everyone on BC. With Momma E's letter to Helen, i feel it was a great ending to one of my longest stories i have ever writen. Oh how i wanted soooo much to keep it going but i never found anything that wasn't already addressed in the narrative. I had fun with Helen and Jo but i felt it was time to move onto something else. I left it open because 1) i wanted Helen to reflect myself a little and i am still not out of the closet so i would have literally no idea of how to proceed if she ever does come out on paper.
