I'm still working on options for bad weather, but somehow or another we're going to make it work out.

If nothing else, we may have a couple of tents to go over the tables at the park. They still need to be checked out. But hopefully we will not have to worry about them.

I'm still looking for a place we can go indoors if we have to. The place I thought of first, does not have a separate room we can use, but I haven't put on a full court press yet.

It recommends that I don't go for anything radical and indeed I never had any intentions of doing so. I am happy with my little boy bits and never felt the need to go 'whole hog' for SRS.

I had a second offer of proofing come in today, so I'm going to be starting on a couple of 12-String related side projects.

The first will be a complete revision of the existing episodes for continuity and general clarity. As soon as that's done, Ill be starting on Dichotomy, which will star Ethan before she became Gretchen.

Well, I am trying very hard not to feel discouraged by the error I made in posting my Phoenix story. I really liked how the story turned out, and now it will probably vanish without much recognition.

I am finding it harder to keep positive, and much easier to feel hopeless. Monday, I will call the doctor and tell him. Meanwhile to try and cheer myself up, I am working on the last part of Fluke.

Neither of the brother's wanted to be king. Many say that The Queen Mother blamed Edward for George's early death. The fact that he was addicted to cigarettes certainly contributed to that. I don't think I was aware of George VI's speech impediment.

Well, I am now over 17,000 words in my phoenix story, and it shows no sign of slowing down. I figure its probably over half done, but frankly, I am not sure. It has gone in a totally unexpected direction from my original idea to the point I feel like I am just hanging on, trying to keep the story from falling into a ditch. Fun stuff.

For those of you who haven't preserved my perfect prose in hard copy, this is what you're missing. EAFOAB up to last weekend's edition. I'm simply waiting for the cover to be added, could be a bit heavy to take on the train or read in bed. Oh this is just volume one.

Creative Endeavors in the Field of Writing

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

For the last while, instead of writing stories, I have been perfecting a long held skill. That being the creation of barriers that stop me from writing those stories. Something, I'm sure in which I am not alone, but I thought I would write about some of my current favourites. If for no other reason than to start at the beginning of an idea and take it to an end.

going to my ex's church in woman's pants

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

Well, I think the title of this entry is self-explanatory, but I will explain anyway. See, I was feeling like taking a little risk, so I wore my ladies pants to church on Sunday. I have worn them around my ex before, and she hasn't noticed the difference, so I decided to give it a shot. Nobody seemed to notice, and things went well. It was rather... fun to do. Meanwhile, I am still working on Phoenix, and have decided that my attempt to focus solely on it didn't work that well. I seem to better in short bursts, even if that means its going to take me longer. Ah, well.

So, I've ran into a small snag with Chapter 3 but I'm letting you know I'm still writing it, it's about 1/3 the way done, and well
I have a name for it, its called, Shopping lol
Ok so I know you all have questions about the story, But sorry chapter 3 wont answer them, it might give you some more to ponder though

But I do promise that Arura will show a bit more emotion in this chapter, things have been happening so fast for her, she hasn't had time to think about things.

Hi, everyone!

Sorry it has been 3 years. I could go into where I've been, but you'd find it boring. Suffice it to say I just have not had the opportunity to write, draw, or dress. (I take care of my disabled mother and my murdered sister's two boys and it is nigh impossible to get away for TG related stuff.)

To herald my return, I have created a new Holiday Cartoon for Valentine's Day!

I Had This Dream Last Night

Author: 

I had this really vivid dream last night that surprised me because it was the first time since I started my transition, that I have dreamed in such detail. The biggest difference was that in this dream, I was 100% female. Anyway, I was a teenage girl with long curly blonde hair that reminded me of Taylor Swift's style. I was apparently around 15 or 16 and new to this town and new to this High School. This group of girls invited me to go to the movies with them, so one of my parents dropped me off.
