On Joanne Barbarella's suggestion, I created a joke section on my new website, which because I can't use a database (it's the ISP, not my inadequacies), ten different subjects one on each page.

I'm quite chuffed with them and although there's nothing brand new there, there are some good ones.

However, they don't represent all of what I have, so having now got the bare bones down, I will be adding to them as often as I can and will be including a video section too!

Wow!

I am so pleased with the responses you gave me in my last blog that I now know what I'm going to write and that what I have already written fits.

What I would now like to ask is whether I can use what you have given me verbatim as quotes?

I will not use your names, unless you expressly want me to, they will just be used as personal opinions of those who have or are transitioning - or not as the case may be.

I've been working on this over today and would be really grateful if some of you would mind giving it a look over and let me know whether I've done it justice. Click here

I would really value your input here.

Thanks in advance.

Hi folks.

It's me again and this time I'm after some help.

Today I had a brainwave.

I want to turn one of my stories into a screenplay.

The story concerned is only short, but I figure it might be able to be adapted to a screenplay, since there aren't too many actual scenes, few special effects and well, I'm sure you get the picture.

Even though I'm no Steven Speilberg or John Carpenter, I'd still like to give it a go and since I have absolutely no experience with plays--even those made for TV, I wondered if any of you good people may be able to give me some pointers.

No I'm not going to go through that old one about how you give a cat a pill, but for reference, you can find it here.

Instead, I'm going to tell you how yesterday I risked life and limbs (I have the gouges, scratches, lacerations and other abrasions to show for it) to take our cat, Sammo, to the vet.

It's just gone to Gabi for editing and her seal of approval and then--probably tomorrow morning or whenever it gets finished, I'll post, so hang on to your pantyhose, Cliffside Heroine 6--the final chapter, is on its way.

Phew!

You try saying all that in one breath.
I don't just look it, I'm totally chuffed it's finished at last

Okay, we’ve been back a week and already we’re planning our next trip with the Limousin in mind.

The houses we visited the first time we went were appalling and we wondered whether anything resembling our dream house was going to be possible this time.

For anyone who is interested, I have just completed a review of Avatar on Fictioneer.

If you haven't seen it yet, read this and it might change your minds about leaving it any longer before you do.

Read it here

Okay, so enough have dropped subtle hints about the whereabouts of chapter five and I can quite happily advise you all that it's at the cleaners.

Yes, it's actually gone for editing, proofing and to be given the Gabmeister seal of approval.

Not long now...

I wonder if any of you remember this excellent series that came out about ten or more years ago?

Well, it's being shown on FX (which I think is part of the Fox network) here in England at 6pm each weekday evening.

I say this because I have just written a review of it here, so you might want to jog that memory and revisit an old friend. If you haven't seen it before, I can wholeheartedly recommend it, so go check out the review and if you can spare the time, watch the series.

You know you want to...

Sorry to have kept you all waiting, but Chapter 4 has just gone to Gabi for editing.

As soon as it's back, I'll post.

I hope it meets with expectations.

To all of you who have been wondering if I have fallen off the face of the Earth, I can honestly say that gravity works on me too and I am still here.

Pen's mum's funeral was held on Thursday and I have been busy helping with the arrangements, most notably, the Order Of Service booklets. My job was to produce pictures of Rosamond that would hopefully show her as we best remembered her and from the feedback and number of people who were keeping their copies, it was mission accomplished.

Hi folks!

Well, what can I say? The Cliffside Heroine is proving to be a lot more popular than I expected, I'm really over the moon with the response to the first two chapters. The comments have been great--real food for thought for me and believe it or not, I do take heed of what I'm told.

I have to say a big thanks to Puddintaine, who made an excellent start on tidying up the mess that had become my stories, so I've taken a few hours out today to finish the job.

Hi folks, it's me again.

In between trying to do this course - which I should say is like swimming uphill through treacle - I have been feverishly writing a story I have mentioned to others is on the way.

It's called The Cliffside Heroine and is about a boy whose twin sister and her two friends decide to dress up. Things go horribly wrong and he ends up...

Well, you'll just have to wait and see, won't you.

Hi folks.

Just thought I'd let you know that I have posted some more words for your delectation on Fictioneer called The Tank, so if you're after something a little different, check it out here.

Please?

Oh, and if you're of a mind, there's a review of Paycheck a movie I saw recently and after reading the review, I'm hoping you're going to want to see it too. You can check that out here

Have fun.

NB
