Due to circumstances beyond my control (namely kids off for the summer), I haven't been able to do much writing lately. So hopefully by the end of August, I'll start having some time to write with one back in school and the other out of town at college. I have several projects languishing, and some new ones I want to start, plus I want to get a novel published.

I got that carried away with other stuff this morning that I forgot the file with this weeks chapter - grrr!

i'll get it up asap but it's likely to be next week I'm afraid.

Got some super bad news today. My landlord must sell this place, which means we'll be moving soon. Thanks to that bit of news, I also didnt get sleep today, so tonight at work is gonna suck.

Ah, well.

We're not broke but it is tight and we haven't quite made our goal for the month.

If you can, it would be good to subscribe via Hatbox or just send us a donation via Janglewood.

Thanks and hugs,

It would seem that Caroline Cossey is taking a tentative step back into the limelight.

There is an article on Cosmopolitan.com in which she breaks her silence of many years. Here is the link:

I wish her every happiness in this venture.

I have been fighting cronic depression and anxiety for nearly 15 years, i have been trying to be my authentic self almost as long. Two seemingly random statements that bring me to the topic of this episode... Depression and T*ism.

From PubMedHealth "Depression may be described as feeling sad, blue, unhappy, miserable, or down in the dumps. Most of us feel this way at one time or another for short periods.True clinical depression is a mood disorder in which feelings of sadness, loss, anger, or frustration interfere with everyday life for a long period of time."

I am currently working on a new story and I would love two editors as this one I don't want to post without someone looking through it first. Send me a PM and I'll check back here every day or so for a response. Love you all and hope to have something ready to post soon.

This news is two years old but come up in the search engine when I brought up some other data I had read last month.
More Elite Colleges Are Covering Sex-Change Surgery and Other Transgender Student Needs

Nice, I pray this is one more crack in the door of resistance everyone of this life has faced.

All-Transgender Modeling Agency to Open in L.A.
Apple Model Management, a modeling agency that represents only transgender models, is opening an office in Los Angeles, reports The Advocate.

As the follow-up to the National Transgender Discrimination Survey (NTDS), the 2015 U.S. Trans Survey will become our community’s go-to source for information about the lives and experiences of trans people.

More than 6,400 people took the NTDS, and over 7,000 people have already pledged to take the 2015 U.S. Trans Survey when it becomes available on August 19th. But we’re far short of the 20,000 pledges we need to ensure we double the number of people who complete the U.S. Trans Survey from the NTDS.

After a short illness, i have gotten back in the groove and posted Chapter 17 of TRI... hope you enjoy.

While on vacation I visited with my family this past weekend. I found a easy way to test someone to see how they would react to a trans person. When someone is nice and relaxed just watching tv, put it on a channel where Caitlyn Jenner has a show on. One 30 second commercial with her in it and your friend or family member will most likely reveal how they feel about transgender people. This happened to me on a few separate occasions this past weekend. It was not pretty.

I just wish to say thanks to all the authors whom have shed light on my world in the form of entertainment. My life seems so bleak and hopeless at times, i.e. today, and it is such a wonderful thing to be able to escape into a good story and forget the depression and hopelessness. I am reminded of doing the same as a child/teenager because the story always ended in the positive. I know mine won't and today I just don't care!!

Just posted the last chapters of Cynthia and the Queen of the Knight. There was a intentional pun in the next to last chapter. I wonder if anyone will catch it. This was a fun story to write, and I'm sorry that it didn't create the interest I hoped it would. I guess there wasn't enough angst and abuse, and SRU is apparently passé. I would love to hear from the readers.

Could have some sort of tummy bug. I've been sick and am going to bed.

An interesting article.

Two chapters tonight as I had to skip Saturday due to high tempetures and humidity. please enjoy.

I got an email from Julie; she is fine and plans to return to writing soon. I'm sure there are some out there who are thinking, "Told you so," right now. Well, maybe I did get worked up over nothing, but I'll take that over the alternative any day.

This is not a drill!

A large group of huggles has escaped to the internet, and may end up in a inbox near you!

Experts suggest letting them huggle so they dont get discouraged. Nobody wants to see a sad huggle ...

Regrettably, there will be an indefinite delay before I can post any more of Somewhere Else Entirely.

I know we're nearing the end but Real Life just won't be denied any longer. The Twins are coming and I'm utterly, utterly exhausted. And they haven't even arrived yet!

What happened?! I can't read any stories about characters being transformed in Mai Shiranui or someone as big into SNK fighters. And her other stories were great.

Are you still here Light?! Please come back.

Also, now I'm thinking I may make backup's of stories for my eyes only, should they be pulled. I love all of these authors way too much to just see them gone from my eyes though if you wish to pull them from the site so be it.

I'm still fuming about that "Beyond the Sea" fan fiction getting pulled so quickly from MORFS though.

Indexing is another great urban fantasy novel from Seanan McGuire. It was initially released as a Kindle Serial in twelve parts, and is now available as a single volume.

The stories listed under the "More Like This" section, how are they chosen? (Drove my parents nuts always asking for explanations!) I've seen a couple that the recommended stories were not anywhere close to the story chapter they were appended to.

I have had a very nice birthday. I got some cake-flavoured M & Ms - the blue ones are the best - some Wonka Runts, some DVDs by Dr Michio Kaku that will help me travel to a parallel universe, travel through time and build a flying saucer, and a beautiful framed map of the River Wear as it was in 1898. I was also treated to several drinks at the Ashbrooke beer festival, which may explain why I am in such a mellow mood.

As far as headlong rushes towards the grave go, this isn't turning out to be an unpleasant one.

The Enhanced: TRI chapter thirteen is ready and to make up for missing yesterday and due to the fact it's Frisky Friday, I'll post chapter 14 later tonight :))

Goes out to everyone who answered my blog about helping my Veteran friend! I've forwarded all the info you have so graciously sent. I hope it does some good for him. He's a really super nice guy and he deserves a lot better treatment than he's getting right now. He accepted me as Cathy without so much as a raised eyebrow so anything I can do for him is small enough repayment for his caring friendship.

i was trying to recall one of the story that i have read on here its about a boy in is collage ages where he his girlfriend and his best friend go and see a stage hypnosis. After hes hypnotized he can only see him wearing girls cloths even though he was wearing boys cloths. I remember the first part during the stage hypnotists he said that it he was wearing his star wars t shirt and not the Alice in wonderland dress that he saw him self wearing. I just cant remember the name of that story it was really good.

HHmmm.

It seems I cannot log into transgender forum and there is no contact process that I can find to discover who has used my email address. My attempt to sign up was blocked because my email address has already been used by someone. I tried all my own passwords but no luck. Seems I'm not wanted on TG Forum.

Ahh well there are plenty of other sites on the internet.

Caitlyn's ESPY acceptance speech started off slightly off key but quickly became . . . perfect.

Do any of you live in Oregon and, if so, can you reccommend a Vet Rep? A friend has gotten nothing but a runaround trying to get his issues addressed. He lives in Coos Bay and his injuries prevent him from getting to the only VA hospital that seems to understand and want to help. Roseberg seems, according to what my friend has told me, indifferent to his problems. Now, my friend is not TS, but he IS a dear friend and I'm trying to find a way for him to get the help he DESERVES. He desperately needs a VA Rep who can buck the system, as it were, and get him the help he needs.

If anyone is interested there are some utube videos that have a tg theme. Links below

Hello.

First, I am not asking for kudos, nor reviews.

But, over the literal thousands of pages I had posted on this website. This chapter of Badasses Of the Multiverse. Book 5: Volume 1: Chapter 18: “Sealed Can Of Savvy Awesome.", is one of my favorite chapters.

The reason that this is one of my favorite chapters, is that I found this part of my story arc to very funny to write. I laughed quite a few time, while I wrote it. And I hope, that if you give my story a chance, you will find it funny to read.

Thank you,

Paul Cousins

Well it's that time of year again. I'm working too many hours still and still doing parental care plus now the humidity and the heat's getting rough levels here and to top everything off my lying and theiving drug addict brother's hitting the point where the hard cheap drugs are meeting his age and he’s even more of a mess, a mess that other family who are just as bad as him now want to dump back into my life.

So like the last brotherly drama writing will likely be nil for awhile.

I will be using both hands just to hang on, so typing will be slow.

Just saw this: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/14/us/pentagon-plan-would-let...

For many of us who've grown up primarily over the last 25 years, Satoru Iwata was an important figure in our lives. As a member of the team at Nintendo, and CEO, he's influenced a lot of us more than we may care to admit, and for many of us -- such as myself -- the products he's helped bring to the market have been one of the few things in life at times that helped us deal with the pain of transgenderism, adolescence, and just life in general.

I'm not sure what Satoru's stance on trans issues or LGBT stuff in general was, but it really doesn't matter at the moment.

Just two quick notes!

When I announced the publication of Rebekkah's newest book in her 8 Dragon Saga ( number 4 ), I forgot to mention that the price of $2.99 is only temporary! In under a week the price will go to our usual level of $3.99, go grab it at the lower price!

Also Rebekkah has told me that she is writing the remaining book and a half to finish of the series! We already have books 1-6 and half of 7 in a 9 book series, so , just a book and a half to go! ! I'm sure we can take Rebekkah's promise that she will be finish the Saga !

Whew! Good thing i posted two chapters on Friday! Enjoy Chapter nine and the conclusion of book one. Book two starts Monday evening!

So, in exploring the implications of the recent Transgender Activism here in Portland, Oregon, I met some very nice people. Somewhere I heard something about the high incidence of Transgender among Aspergers folk and I am trying to explore whether that assertion has any veracity at all.

One of the things I do to make up for a relatively low IQ is that I read and research intensely, thus giving the illusion of intelligence, or as my shrink said, "It's how you use what you have".

I was gonna rant about Julie, but I decided she's not worth my time.

Instead, I wanna talk about the ripple effect.

Basically, the ripple effect is the idea that when one person's life turns in a posititve direction, they spread that positivity to the people they meet, who spread the positivity further, and so on, like a ripple in a pond going ever outward.

Well, right now, I think we need some positivity, so I'm giving all my friends here a challenge - I want you all to do or say something nice for someone else.
