We all know homosexuality is a biological trait, right?

Not according to the people editing Charisma Magazine, who believe it's caused by something completely different.

Demon sex.

Here's a little bit of advice for everyone here in a serious relationship, man or woman, same sex or hetero.

More Gaby this week and the release of the first Nena photo book!

I have two new cover designs for God Bless the Child and wanted to get people's opinion on which one they like better. One is very similar to what is already up and one is completely new. If you don't like either that is a vote also, but you can't like both because that is unhelpful. I thank you .

Its my brother's birthday today, and we're going to his house to celebrate.

Its going to be the 2nd year in a row he gets a card from his sister, I wonder if he'll say anything?

Please wait for chapter 2 which explains chapter one a bit better. I know some of you feel I went overboard but I really didn't. I'm just setting the stage so to speak.

Sometimes you take the good with the bad: I think this limerick should be ok

I joined a place called B.C.
it is the kind of place for me
I tell a good tale
and some are for sale

The novel "Fifty Shades Of Grey" has seduced women - and baffled blokes.Now a spoof,

Fifty Sheds Of Grey, offers a treat for the men.

It may well be the magic of the Christmas season, or it may be that my depression has, for the moment, gone into remission. But the story I'm working on for the current contest promises to be not only the most ambitious and complex story I've ever done, but the most ambitious and complex story that stands a chance of being completed. (I even have a tentative title: The Christmas Ivy Bloomed--a title with a double meaning in this story).

Different 'Destiny' delay

I am trying to finish up the most recent chapter of Through the years, but life has decided to throw a few speed bumps my way. First of all, my mother is in a hospital in California and about to undergo open heart surgery. One of her heart valves is leaking. Problem is she's not in the best of shape. Osteoporosis and several falls has helped her get addicted to pain pills. So My Dad is worried that this may have been my mothers last Thanksgiving. He also has already given me the warning that he doesn't want me to come out there because of how tight money is.

I have mentioned the desire of doing this for quite awhile, but I finally had all my stories taken down from fictionmania. Normally I don't like to post what I do on one site on another, but I thought this was appropriate because I know of several authors who cross-post to both sites.

I wanted to explain my reasons and the final straw.

Well, a couple of days ago Kylie got a hold of me, which was good, since by then I was pretty much convinced I'd never hear from her again, and that she was going to go off herself.

I'm fairly sure that when reading almost anything we can all find something that we don't like. One of the things I find annoying is the misuse of the apostrophe. I have come across an interesting (at least to me) site that I think authors might find useful. Although a UK site, it does apply to American usage of our language.

Ok folks this retail monkey needed a laugh today and got it. Read today's Skin Horse that last panel says it all. We are all hands on deck here at the store and smart phones are flying out the door. In most cases the devices are smarter than the purchasers. If any of you do Black Friday I hope you got some good deals to me this is just another day albeit a twelve hour one. Tired smiles, Jenn.

I have this great idea to put little postcards advertising my book in with my Christmas cards when I deliver the paper next week. My issue? I don't know how to format so the front and back side line up. Is anyone here proficient enough with Word/open office to format something like that for me. I want 9 per page so I can cut them out and put them in the paper (2.5x3.5). Thanks in advance.

****Sigh**** I wish I could have gone home to be with My Family for Thanksgiving,but they don't want anything to do with me.But at least I have all of U & Ur Stories on here.U all are like my family now,So Happy Thanksgiving Everyone

Ellie and I have decided to merge our writings of Bikini Beach together and form what we will call, the "Canonical Writings" of Bikini Beach. It makes it easier for everyone to find our works in one place. As a helpful bonus, I have asked Sephrena to add a title page to the Bikini Beach series to point to all the fan fiction created for our universe and provide easy access to finding them as well.

So I guess now I need someone to turn my pile of ..., OUCH dottie quit that, well Bill's story into a book and then make a cover(i do have a picture in my head for it) and somehow post it to kindle or soemthing.

I am totally clueless in this requard so advise would be nice.

Thanks.

Cluck, cluck, cluck... Happy Thanksgiving.

I sent Crystal a copy of Birdman10's blog

This was Crystal's response to me.

Check out this Chinese grandfather and how he decided to help his granddaughter.

I've had a long held desire to see Gaby in Manga style and whilst i've yet to find a willing artist i thought a photographic travel guide might get the ball rolling!

Basically, the latest update to one of the background parts of Drupal broke the mini-editor or rather the mini-editor's integration into the editing box. The mini-editor is the string of little boxes above the editing window that lets you automate inserting structured HTML into your stories, blogs and forum posts.

The upcoming One Winter's Eve holiday contest is intriguing, so intriguing I want to use it to make my writing debut here. But as is typical for me, I'm stuck.

Yesterday, I had a total brain fart day. First, when I got to work, I realized I had forgotten to bring my shoes. This is a big deal, because we aren't supposed to be on the floor without steel toes.

Theoretically, they could have sent me home, but its Christmas rush, and they need every warm body they can get, so I was told to be extra careful, but to keep on going.

Then, at lunch, I discovered I had also forgotten to pack my pills, so that was a pain as well, and obviously a sign I had let all the stuff going on get me off focus.

I don't think anybody can understand what it's like to be accused of child abuse unless they have been accused or been very close to somebody who's been accused.

Well, I hit a new low, a good one. I am now down to 192 pounds, and holding. Now to get through Thanksgiving without putting any on, which is almost inevitable, but I have managed to keep the controlled loss going so far. I am planning stopping just short of anorexia, say under 170 pounds, then letting HRT put the fat back on where it will.

Hi folks!!

If any of you got an e-mail in last day or two from my Yahoo acct I'm sorry I didnot send it. Someone or grp has gotten into my Yahoo acct address list and sent false e-mails thru my acct there and I'm sorry if you were effected by it as it might be infected e-mail donot open just delete it. Again Sorry as I even got some strange e-mails to myself from that intrusion. Sorry again if they were or are showing the following address and were sent in the last two days from this address [email protected] please delete donot open! Richard

I just posted "Bikini Beach: Teaching Sally."

I hadn't planned on posting it so soon, but the way the comments on it were going, I thought I had better.

Ok, so yesterday I passed another year. I am now the age that Douglas Adams postulated as the answer to that very big question in the title of this here blog. This is significant because it has brought about an epiphany, usually folks wait for new years to make resolutions but as this is the first day of my new age it will be the first day of my new life.

'Destiny' delay

I stated part of this before in a comment, but I thought it a good idea to reiterate it as a blog so it reached everyone.

This is off my mother's facebook page, which she doesn't realize that I still have access to even though she unfriended me:

We are gathered here tonight to mourn those of us who have been taken from us by hatred, violence, and ignorance, but in a larger sense, we are here to celebrate their lives. That we might not have known any of them personally, does not lessen our sense of loss or our disgust for the way they were taken.

In 2007 I came home from a Transgender Day of Remembrance and went on my computer. I was told by a virtual niece that a virtual daughter was murdered. The alleged murder claimed that she accidentally choked herself with her scarf. He was acquitted of the "murder." The Evil Witch Family is poorer because of her death.

Holly and I had a temporary roommate who was a drug addict. She got clean through a drug rehab program and decided to help the transgender community by helping other drug addicts. She was murdered because of her interference in December 2010.

I haven't been happy with the last two chapters of Adam and the Wishes since day one, and my Beta readers and editor agreed with what I realized was a weakness with the whole thing. The ending was too quick and easy for our heroine. I made a few minor changes and additions, but I was still not too happy with it. Today, I made a few more additions to Chapter 11 mostly. Of course, in this universe, changes such as these are not nearly as traumatic as they would be in this world.

An interesting article just spotted in the New Statesman:

Why are NHS doctors are still treating trans people like they’re mentally ill?

Read the article here.

This is unbelievable!

I missed my sixth anniversary!

Can you believe it's been six years since I began stalking this site? I can't. I didn't realise it had been so long.

I know I haven't posted a new story in quite some time, and believe me it is a lonely, unrewarding existence. But I am still slaving away at the next great novel. It is turning out to be quite the project and I keep plugging along. I hope it is good. I am putting a lot of work into it and it is a departure from my normal fair. Sure it is emotional and hard hitting, but my characters actually have supportive, stable home lives. I just topped over 100,000 words and haven't gotten to the first climax yet. My fear is that the end of the book is going to be like falling of a cliff.

Hi

For those who are interested, and I accept that not everyone is, SHIT HAPPENS, SO DO MIRACLES & WHISPERS IN THE SOUL are now available as paperbacks.

Just clicked the Four-Years-Ago link at the top of the site and found myself a bit... stranged up is as good a phrase as any I can think up at the moment, I guess, by the fact that just a little bit ag, Ang posted the latest Bike and there on the four years ago page is Bike #463, third posting down from the top. For some reason, that kind of struck me a bit. I know I wasn't around here four years ago, but still... The more things change, right?

Having only just finished reading "Beach Head", I was surprised to have a sort "flashback", albeit a good one. :)

i was checking out aol when clip about man who became his wifes wife. jeff probst was interviewing them. interesting stuff, none of that jerry springer yelling and such.

I've posted Chapter 4 early because I will be away at my parents this weekend and would otherwise miss my usual Saturday posting.

Things last time sounded messed up. Well, they got worse, sorta.

Hello cruel world.

Well. After the longest eight months of my short life, I'm finally back, writing again. As to why I was gone so long, real life and illness took up all my time. I found out a lot about myself and a lot of other things, what was important and what wasn't. I lost almost everything material that i possessed and a long term relationship as well as my health. The whole experience made me stronger and maybe nicer and certainly a lot more patient.

nice new offer
