Good moaning

We've risen this morning to a perfect blue sky and sunshine so our trip to the coast should be a nice one, more of that when we get back. For now though its a report on last evenings festivities.

Yep, it's magic.
They may call it 'the good old theory of relativity' but we know what it is, don't we?

Pure, plain, good'ol' magic folks, and knocking on our door no less.

Hello dwarf fans of the BC world!!

It's time to do some spelunking in some caves. We finally have the confrontation with Draknor. This is one of the longer chapters that I have written, so are the next two chapters. We get to find out why Ruald's and Draknor's plans didn't work over the next several chapters. This has been hinted at since the beginning in Chapter 1.

Have a great weekend everyone.

I may have mentioned, I occasionally have odd little visions of the future. Like last sunday, at church, before anybody could say what type of service we were having, I knew it was going to be a healing service. This worries me on occasion, because I often don't know what they mean until the actual event. It's a little difficult, at times. ah, well.

Out from under my rock long enough to post this, which may be of interest to a few here. Sally Kerns, the state representative for Oklahoma House District 84, is perhaps best known for her statement last year that homosexuality is a bigger threat to the U.S. than terrorism. In her quest for reelection she is being opposed by Democratic candidate Brittany Novotny. Ms Novotny is TG, which has upset Kerns and her supporters no end. The latest attack can be seen on Ms Novotny's website: http://brittany4hd84.com/

Best of luck to Ms Novotny, I wish I could vote for her.

The countdown started yesterday and on the 20th of this month, I start running my own company.

It's nothing grand or even interesting, but I will be remodelling my website, using Google and Amazon to help in generating income.

So it's all hands to the pumps right now, trying to get my hubs translated to HTML to be ready to go live sometime next week.

I'm happy to say that if all goes well, I will also have the piece on transsexuals ready and live too and once again, I couldn't have been more pleased with the help you all gave me for that one.

Well, its two weeks to go before I see the psychologist. Of course the first session will be all "intake" so it will be even longer before he decides how to help me. Ah, well.

This is an effort to express the frustration I feel at so many authors who don't check their spelling or grammar. I can tell that many are using spellcheckers but are relying on them totally. I see such things as 'choirs' for 'chores' -- just the latest example!

My heat came on earlier, woke me up. "What's that sound?" The dog didn't know.

Five days ago, daytime temps here were above 110F (43C), last night, temps got below 50F (10C). I've actually seen swings that big in a single day but it isn't common.

Owing to simple logistics, I can't promise to be able to have time to write Bike while helping with the Gabycon, so I'm warning/apologising in advance.

I am half way through a new Gaby short story, for the event which I expect will be posted here eventually. As well as this, scribbling Bike and running about, working full time, having my house knocked about and being a paw-maiden to two cats - I have plenty of time.

Angharad.

President Obama's Rosh Hashanah Greetings.

He seems to know what it means.

Well i have gone a posted the first chapter of my first story here on BCTS

So Please read it, and leave comments on the story if u feel u need to

So....up, and go to fix the tyre on the road bike. t turns out to be the tyre itself, the sidewall has gone. So, back to the tourer, load all five bags on and do the supermarket run while I still have money in the bank for food.
And the landlord has put up the rent.
Dither over whether to buy mushrooms....and don't, for some odd reason. Pay, load up, ride back and put everything away. As put my bike away, I realise my little bed of Agaricus campestris has fruited. I have, instead of supermarket A bisporus mushrooms, eight new, fresh wild ones. Result!

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.

Part 5 is up, and part 6 is about half done. Originally I thought they'd be a single post, but I was having trouble with Part 6 and decided to share what I have. It's a good point to break, anyway. With luck, part 6 might go up on the weekend.

I envision at LEAST two more chapters after part 6 (more if I can't keep them concise!), with some special guest cameos.

My muse has worked overtime on a plot, but when it comes time to actually crank out the words, she goes for coffee and leaves the hard stuff to me. So it's coming, but at it's own pace. Bear with me!

Hi, my name is Tanya. Tanyalynn was my name a long time ago on Storysite, and the 51- well, a girl never reveals her age. I am a m2f ts, who has felt like I am in the wrong body, but with some truly heavy issues. I do write sometimes as an outlet, a chance to fantasize about how my life might have gone, although I did a couple of more action oriented stories, a mystery, and a superhero story on Storysite. I can also be influenced by movies (see "The Girl" on Storysite, inspired by the Bruce Willis movie "The Kid"). I think that was my favorite story.

Well i have been a lurker here for a while - At least Since the First Episode of Angharad's Epic Easy as Falling of a Bike

Well i have come to a decision, think its about time to post a story idea going on in my head.
Well this story would involve a Popular Anime/Collectable Card Game Yu-Gi-Oh, but not set in the actual Universe of the game, but where in our future where the card game has become real as the anime.

The Problem is that do i start it in the future where the hero/ine is there already. Or have it where the main hero/ine Come from the present and end up in this future

There was a time I suspected I might have Asperger's Syndrome. Then I read a book on it and realized I didn't. Such fun! (What I think I do have is hypochondria.)

Anyway, I found this test. I wasn't looking for it. In fact I could have used this around 3 years ago. It would have saved me reading that stupid book. But, I'm very good at finding things I wasn't looking for. Or at least not recently.

Okay, so I'm even a day behind letting you know, but I still thought it best to say it -- there won't be a Princess For Hire for, well, technically last week, and there is a slim possibility I might not have time to get one ready this week either.

I'm sorry about this, but between training a new backup auditor, thinking over the whole "possibly moving home" thing, and getting ready for the windows of my apartment being replaced (moving things away from windows when every outer wall has a window is a pain) I've been a little busy lately.

Yesterday, for the first time since my partner went into hospital, I was able to dress properly - a t-shirt and skirt! I was so comfortable, it irks me having to do the whole 'pretend man' thing all the time!

Taken from the files of Department "H":

Known meta-humans living in Canada:

Name: Dr. Jamie Hudson Code Name: none Age: 25 Powers: Heightened Intelligence, ability to control machines and metal

Name: Wanda Langowski Code Name: Sasquatch Age: 19 Powers: Transforms into a 7 foot tall, 400 lbs creature. In this form able to lift 10 tons, has razor-sharp claws capable of cutting through steel.

A violent one (not work), and some demons reappeared, and I am tired and emotional and just fed up. Just needed to say something. Nothing to see,just pass on by.

I saw this pop up in my 'Recommended' list on YouTube, and couldn't resist sharing it. I know we're generally not car nuts here, but this ain't an ordinary "car" (and I use the term tentatively)...

Introducing the Ferdinand GT3 RS. It is an Austrian vehicle (currently on show in the Lentos Museum of Art, in Linz, Austria) built with an "ultra light construction", and all "unnecessary" components have been removed. As a result, it weighs less than 100kg, has zero emissions, and is completely silent.

So what's the catch? Well, one of the "unnecessary" components was the engine...

There are just too much going on at my home right now. As I previously blogged, my mother-in-law's thyroid cancer has recurred. It has metastasized to her spine and Nanay underwent 10 radiation treatments. Doctors talked about surgery, but she is 75 years old and no family member thought Nanay would do well with that form of medical treatment.

I have left unfinished and unloved for far too long 'The Van that Changed the World.'

This has played on my conscience as I hate the idea of leaving anything unfinished. I haven't much of a conscience in truth but it does seem to let down those who have read the first chapter. Such a waste of their time! Everytime I see someone else has been lured into reading it I have a pang of guilt.

Happy Labor Day to the USA BC fans!

Chapter 17 is posted. Finally we get to some action in this chapter. I hope you like it. There is the re-match between Evrat and Hikaru as hinted and promised earlier in the story here. Richard does explain himself why he wanted to go against four knights in this self-defense demonstration match. As stated in this chapter, this is to make sure the Outside Helpers know how to defend themselves if they have to. The Regional meeting does take place towards the end of the chapter.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone.

I was finally able to write a new chapter in If The Shoe Fits... and posting it here was terrifying. I was so confident before and I felt like the wind was at my back. I was so worried about letting people down, or scratch that, letting my characters down that I sat in silence staring at the submit key -the wind clearly at my face. Whatever the consequence of my decision to post ALEJANDRO as Chapter 5 and not GUYS & DOLLS which will now be CHAPTER 6, I feel relieved. It's out there.

Have you guys seen this news? http://zepy.momotato.com/2010/08/31/kayo-police-was-a-guy/

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.

Hugs

I'm messing around with a new story. I'm not sure what I'll title it; at the moment I've given it the working title of "duty and destiny.' It takes place in the same world as my stories The Necessity of Winter, and After Winter. Chronologically, I'd say it is 3 or 4 years after After Winter.

As soon as I finish it, I will post it here, but as I said, it's still in the messin around stage. I've even posted a map, but it is a little crappy. I'm so jealous of Persephone's map (I have map envy).

Ah yes, here I am in the wonderfully beautiful, hot, sticky, state of Ohio. I have always lived near Hi Tech Manufacturing companies so am somewhat spoiled with my house power.

well, the ex apologized and that is good. Unfortunately, yesterday, i got hurt badly at work, and i an still recovering. I pulled muscles in my chest, and it was so bad i had trouble breathing. My supervisor had me lie down in the first aide room for a half hour, and i was on light duty the rest of the day. Today I am doing better, but it was still scary

I was talking to my mom on the phone today, and she told me that her and my dad really want me to move back home.

They seem to think that if I move back home, I'll have a better chance of getting my finances (poor) straightened out, and possibly be happier.

So, I am currently contemplating cutting down my various writing commitments. What does this mean practically for you the reader... not sure. I am going to stop other stories. I have two Kim Possible stories to finish and my Ranma 1/2 story to do. Once that is over I am hoping to focus on getting published professionally and doing Whateley stuff. That does mean that a number of fun side stories I have been working on are not going to go much farther.

Maddy has posted a new episode and there is news of the 2010 Gabycon here in Dorchester.
There's still spaces for people to come - it should be fun, with new material from Maddy and myself, age is no barrier from 9-99years will be welcome, especially if they bring their bicycles.

See the link but hurry, it's nearly here.

Well, i think my ex is losing it. I was helping her tonight like I always do, and she asked me to write a letter for my daughter's new teacher at school. I agreed, and I started writing it. She was dictating to me, and i tried to make a suggestion about some words, and she completely lost it. She starting swearing at me, and told me I have nothing to do with my daughter's future. I am hurt, angry, and ready to do something drastic.

Need I say more?

I'd Give Anything to Kill Someone Again

siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh

And I am back. Just in the door, kettle on and tent laid out to dry. I spent four and a half hours playing in a session last night, preceded by two hours at lunchtime, and similar times for Saturday and Sunday. Not only was the fiddler I largely based a character on there, but I heard that his old collaborator of years past has now come out as transgender, so all threads seemed to be drawn together. I played bodhran for a while with a woman who loved to syncopate, and we ended up having a duet of sorts which was huge fun; I then got asked by one of the audience for a lesson (blush)

Hi folks.

To try and take some of the load off Erin with Fictioneer, I am now helping her out with some of the day-to-day administrative duties. This pretty much means I'll mainly be getting rid of spam, which over the last few weeks has been filtering through.

On top of that, I will also be helping out with some of the issues readers and authors may have that Erin doesn't have to make a decision on.

Well that's chapter 28 posted.
I'm really 'winging it' now.
Not long to go. last two chapters will be mainly 'winding up stuff'. Hope you read it, hope you enjoy.
bev.

As disclosed in another blog this weekend, Erin is $100 short of what she needs for the month for BC.

In the past Hatbox has worked best when there are a steady stream of new pieces being offered for the subscribers.

I have decided that as there doesn't appear to be overmuch interest in reading the 'new version' of the story, I will discontinue amending the story for now. I have therefore put the remainder of the original stories back up.

I might return to it later, but as I want to clear the decks as it were for Football Girl Book 2 and other future stories.

Many thanks for the people who did comment.

Hugs
Sue

Just a note to let you know that a new chapter is posted at http://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/fiction/21934/jamie-and-peach-14

I have lost a notebook filled with many story ideas, as well as notes on some that I have started working on. Some I had hoped to finish and post here. But nooooooo. Someone had to take it last night while I was asleep. But that’s not all they took. They took my car that it was in.

A few of you might have caught a glimpse of my earlier blog/rant/vent before I pulled it in regards to family issues.

I decided after posting it that it was just too heated and not within the general "friendly" of the site, so I pulled it though I have a hard-copy for myself because just writing it helped me quite a bit. :-)

I think I should try and explain about my latest piece, "missing". Its actually not that recent, probably more than a year old. I have hesitated to share it because its not an easy piece, and I feared that it would be misunderstood. Its my rather faulting attempt to describe what might happen if the Rapture occurs in my lifetime. It is an attempt to describe both the sadness those who might miss me, with the joy I would know at that moment. Hugs to all who worried about me, I am not planning on leaving anytime soon, although God might have other plans.....
