I pulled God Bless the Child from the site like I said I was going to. I hope no one is upset at me, but I did feel it was necessary since I am selling it as an ebook. I did leave the comments in place instead of unpublishing it, because I like have the discussions available for future generations.

I got a letter from the government health department, and here is a quote:

I believe that I did say that things would change once I got my paper done. I got my paper done and turned in. That means nothing is left to really distract me from my writing. Enjoy folks.

Most words in a day?

Worlds are colliding:

Or should I say, my worlds are colliding and I never thought that I would see the day it would happen.

My reading! Where do all these wonderfull stories come from? Such imagination you'll possess. Please forgive me if it takes a while to get through them. I'll try to leave comments as much as possible,'cause I think far to many don't take the time to do that, and please keep up the nice work! (Hugs) Taarpa

I've been doing a lot of thinking about where I am going with this GID stuff. Actually, I haven't, but I do have a few thoughts about what I want to do.

There are people on this site who have been through (or are going through) more pain than I can even imagine.

Are we having new hiccups with the site? I had trouble getting back on as a message was saying the site was offline.

I am trying to find some one who can help edit my stores. One sister said she wold do it but I know she is not in good health and well my stories are out there. I have read every thing out there on arcane esoteric subjects religion forbidden archeology other worlds dimensions quantum physics plus sci fi fantasy. Take the Evanescence 'Verse DarkRealms Universe Fresh Start and lets say new age esoteric spirituality and other Daoine Sidhee (farie) ufo worlds and put them in to a blender... A lot was written in my journals in the 1970s 1980s and now in present day time.

So, Amazing Grace seemed to be pretty well received. I am really glad that people liked it.

In light of so many people posting daily about how their lives are going downhill... I thought I should post something positive.

Hi all,

Hi everyone.

I had to pay over 500 dollars in repairs to my van this week (New radiator, then new water pump and a wheel hub) which I actually had. But, it seems that all my bills are due this week. Another 400 dollars. That means I have about 100 dollars in the bank and it will run me at least 150 to put gas in my van. This is what happens when you live paycheck to paycheck. I was saving money, but with the unforseen repair bills, I am screwed.

I posted a little something on Facebook, and I quote it here:

To my fellow Christians:

OK, here it is. http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/health/2012/05/25/man-admitted-t...

I have written a few stories now, some get limited success, have early high hits and then tail off, one or two have kept on being popular slowly accumulating several thousand hits, which is nice to see. But Femboy has just gone through 11,000, many more than any of my other stories. What is different about this one?
Any ideas why?

I have this old typewriter that I'm having a really hard time trying to locate the model number on.

My grandfather taught me a valuable lesson when I was a kid this is back when black and white TVs sere common and cable didn't exist. I was running in the house and papo said don't run in the house me being a kid did not listen as all kids don't. He caught me again and said don't run in the house, I kept going. A third time he said don't run in the house. The fourth time I ran by him he stuck out his cane and tripped me I fell down and he said you see what happens when you run in the house.

Today is Tuesday and after being homebound since Saturday ensuring that Hurricane Sandy wasn't going to devastate me I was able to go out this morning amidst some light rain and light wind. In my neighborhood we fared well no casualties and not fatalities. I'm safe and so is my daughter. However there are still millions of people without power and will be fore several more days. There are homes destroyed, fatalities and people hurt. My heart and prayers goes out to the victims of the storm who did not fare well.

My daughter noticed my breasts yesterday, calling them "grapefruit". On the other hand, she's still playing and giggling with me, so that's good.

I've been watching this for weeks, wondering when it will happen. But, THE DRESS PUNISHMENT is now my second most popular story by hit counter, finally taking the place of The Christmas Diary on my top 10 list (God Bless the Child Title page is still number 1 but may be misleading). So good job for a story that is 8 or 9 years younger than it's sister and was written on a whim, and I still don't know who O'Henry or what a shaggy dog is.

Someone bake a celebratory cake!!!!

We left each other, parted.
And looked back for one last look, for some time.

You always were a friend from the onset,
All I asked for was a moment of your time.

I am from DC, as many know, and I cannot help but be worried about the superstorm coming to hit the east coast. My ma and dad have buttoned down their house and are ready to ride out the hurricane.   Dad also secured my house in Maryland, so it's as safe as it can be. I hope all of you have prepared in like manner.

Moe and I are safe all the way here in Manila, but the reason I am posting this blog is so that we can wish all of our friends there in the east coast to be safe, and to weather the hurricane (pun intended) and come out on the other side safe n sound. Good luck, be safe, follow the warnings, and don't do anything stupid.

I have generously left God Bless the Child available even though I have it available as an E-book on the various sites (I prefer Amazon). I will be pulling it down next Monday, though plan on leaving the comments in place. I just want to give everyone an opportunity to read it again, if such is your desire. Also, I wouldn't mind some more reviews on Amazon (or sales for that matter). I will follow the same plan for Growing Up Jenny and Finding Jenny. I don't want to seem unfair, but I am rethinking my position in life.

Everyone for supporting Gaby in 'print'! I hope you are enjoying reading of Gaby's latest adventures.

Hi Elrod. I want to thank you so much for reposting the Bikini Beach stories. Each one is a welcome surprise and trip down Memory Lane, sometime with a few empathic tears, some with a chuckle. They are so much appreciated. Please keep at it.

Any plans for some new ones?

Dear readers and friends,

I have a busy day ahead of me, our cycling club has its AGM this morning and guess who's secretary? Hopefully, I've prepared for everything except the unexpected. So that's the morning fully occupied trying to take minutes and then make sense of them afterwards. I won't be in the tight skirt and blouse traditional of office wear - can't ride a bike in them.

Then, we usually go for a ride in the afternoon stopping for lunch at a pub.

Hurricane Sandy looks like a big angry girl.

All of you in the USA Mid-Atlantic, Northeast, and as far west as Ohio and West Virginia, be careful out there!

I spent most of last night crying, not a good thing to do when delivering newspapers.

I don't know if it's the hormones or just me. I've been known to cry in the past.

You guys wont belive what i say today !!! unless im mistyaken penny lane was in my area today i saw a car with the licesne plate PENNY LN . was it you penny or a poser inqureing minds want to know lol

I'm sorry I didn't begin to read this book and highlight it while it was free from the Kindle Buffet a couple of days ago.

Rivet Your Readers with Deep Point of View by Jill Elizabeth Nelson
Would you like your readers to live your stories, not merely read them? Deep Point of View anchors your readers inside the point of view character(s) of your novel. This handbook shows you how to perform the transformation from ordinary narrative to deep narrative in clear, easy-to-master steps. I invite you to sweep your writing to the next level with a technique that creates immediacy and intimacy with your readers and virtually eliminates show/don't tell issues.

Went out for lunch with my mom, and got a chance to talk with the waitress, and she was telling me about being a tomboy for a long time, and then surprising her male friends when she decided to get girly for a group that had come back from Afghanistan.

Its kind of funny, how many really pretty girls prefer to be super tom-boys, at least for some time in their lives, while I would have given just about anything for the privilege of being prettied up for a dance or whatever.

Ah, well.

Is it odd?

I was looking through my spam folder as I frequently do and I ran across a message titled "★ Hi . Kathy Ward wnats NAUGHTY FUN!".

Well me again with another non TG type Bloggy thing, But to put it simply I just found this cool in a learn n grow type sense. Young kiddie with a dream and a bit of get up n go. I don't know the car at all but that don't matter. I guess you could insert the equivalent semi cool little thing from your local neck of the neighbourhood. But Fiero schmero this is just a cool story of a 12 yo girl going for something and not caring all that much that it aint super girly. Makes me smile that's fer sure.

The headline is kind of sensational but the video is of Lana Wachowski accepting the Visibility Award from the Human Rights Campaign. She talks about being accepted, coming out and that sometimes you need to do something for others. She's funny, even when relating the bad times and obviously uncomfortable . It's about a half hour long.

I'm in the middle of reading Cloud Atlas at the moment and recommend it to all. It's not your standard novel - the movie opens Friday.

you can get 20% off stuff at Lulu with code 'JEKYLL' (all caps) until Friday 26th October!

I dont want to sound like I dont appreciate my online friends, but I really wish I had a girlfriend I could go out for a coffee with. Its my day off work, and I really feel lonely, and there isn't a lot I can do about it.

Ah, well.

Just to let everyone know, God Bless the Child is now available in paperback. It did take forever and a day to get it available from createspace, but that might have been me. I still have no reviews for Growing Up Jenny :( I know I had tons of people read it and would really appreciate a review. My goal is to always get to 10 (I only have 9 on GBTC which is :( ) Anyway, you can view my author page on amazon at http://www.amazon.com/K.T.-Leone/e/B009HL529W/ref=ntt_athr_d... take a gander.

To the people who believe that you can be cured of a condition like being transgender, a big part of that is based on the idea that the environment a child grows up in makes the difference in terms of how secure they feel in their birth gender.

For example, they would look at my life, and the lack of any decent male role models, and then sexual abuse by a male on top of that, and conclude that this lack caused me to hate my gender, enough to want to become female instead.
