I've recently found a new-to-me author, AuPreviner. What I've read is insightful and well crafted.

splurged and had made a "I heart team Dorothy" t-shirt

Tuesday last week to be exact,I wear my phone under my bra and was able to call for help. Since I don' have $3,000 for an ambulance trip I asked the firemen to pick me up and put me into my manual wheelchair. If I had it to do over I would have set up a trip to ER the next day. A Dart taxi trip only costs $3 each way, though I do have to do it a day inadvance. I may have cracked something, I am still going to get checked out, Going through the county hospitals bureaucracy takes forever. Little by little I am figuring out how to handle the system.

Hey everyone, Karissa here. I've been writing Allison's Pledge for what seems like forever, though if we're going to be honest it's been about two weeks. The first part started as a bit of an experiment that came out of utter exaustion and mild depression and to be honest it was only supposed to be about three parts. I found that I didn't want to leave Allison's world, so I just kept writing, and writing, and writing until we're finally at the point we see now.

I am coming to the end of another novel, and it is now no secret of what the final 'conflict' is: dog fighting in South Wales.

Thank you and have delightfully demented day,

There was a recent lively discussion on picking character names, and lo this pops up! Many here might find this interesting.

Paula Brackston on Names, Language, and Life as a Writer

Someone requested that I post my little poem as a story instead a blog, so I hope that's okay.

Regarding my previous blog. First, I'd like to thank everyone who rang in and offered their sympathies. Although the writing had been on the wall for a good amount of time, it came as a shock. I am still feeling down, but I believe I've accepted the reality of the situation. I wasn't prepared for the emotional impact and I truly feel as if I am in mourning.

I was looking at my account info the other day, and realized that in about 3 months, I will be celebrating my 10th anniversary of being a member here.

And so I've been thinking about how I might knowledge this milestone with a story.

Right now, I'm not sure what I might do. I've got one small piece almost finished that might help me avoid not having anything to share for the next three months, but beyond that ...

I could do something like Randalynn's "Convergence: when stories collide", but I'm not sure what stories would make the cut.

Just a quick question. Ho does on add a signature to one's messages and blogs? Could not find that in the FAQ.

So I went to a writing group meeting tonight, and read a piece called "voiceless" (which you can read here: https://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/fiction/47484/voiceless ) and the group was very moved by it, and couldn't praise me enough.

Always nice to get positive feedback, you know?

Just ran across this on a website (nostraightnews.com). What Do We Do About Women With A Penis Interesting reading.

https://www.nostraightnews.com/what-do-we-do-about-women-wit...

Some of you may know this, most of you probably don't, but I've mentioned here in comments that I was afraid for my job. Well, it appears, just as I feared, that I will be getting laid off by April.

Here's a situation: I've named a certain character Orville. Yet for some reason, I always think of him as "David", and have to forcibly correct myself.

Has this happened to others? Does it often happen?

I think that anyone who wants to can follow the "Jazz Story", and it seems to me like there is a lot of hype going on, but to be fair, perhaps she is having problems?

I have never seen a Trans girl look as good and sound as good as her. Is that what a lot of coaching and surgery can do or is she actually Intersex? At any rate, I wish her the best.

Since I finished my pathfinder story, I've rally been missing Tiffany, aka crazypagangurl, who was a big help in the making of the tale.

Rest in peace, my friend.

I'm a mediocre writer at best, and that fact finally penetrated.

It does appear as if my passion is activism and I spend hours at it every day. Mostly, I blog under a number of different names, about Transgender and Intersex issues, but my real love is researching Belief and the Anthropology of its prehistory. Of course there is the inevitable interference with some Political or Environmental issue, but I won't even attempt to bring any of that in here.

I have posted "2 Women, 2 Children, 2 dogs." It is the start of "How I Became Crossgender."

I was going through the Author Directory the other day and I noticed several no longer have any content for them, when there was before. Like StacyInLove for example. Did these Authors request removal and if so are they now up for sale somewhere else or gone for good.

I have always suffered from Deja Vu. I don't know why, but I often feel like I'm repeating something that has already happened. I've even made a story about it: https://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/fiction/19220/falling

I wonder if its related to PTSD?

I'm sick. Tuesday I discovered a rash under my left arm. At the time, I was suffering from a muscle pull in the same region and felt more pain from that.

Thursday, it became obvious the rash was shingles. I've got meds now and the pain meds make me sleepy and at least two other dwarves.

Meanwhile, Piper and Amy are also sick. I think theirs are colds. Jamie is sick, too.

Forgive us if we are a little slow on updating this week.

Hugs (carefully),
Erin and the gang

I think I've worked through the block that was keeping me away from here.

At least assuming we're not gonna see any entries from Japan/China.

As a reminder, everyone has until the end of February to do their reading and voting (these were a bit longer than your average contest entry story after all!) I'll announce contest winners at the end of the first week or so of March!

Thanks again to everyone who entered the contest. It's been really special to me seeing how enthusiastic everyone, both readers and authors, have been about this one, and I'm really glad we all did this together.

A little chuckle for everyone

Got up this morning and turned on the TV, the news reported it was -33F outside this morning.

Out of curiosity I went online to check to see what the temperature was in Hell, MI (Yes there is a real town in Michigan names that.)

It was only -13F there this morning

That makes it officially colder than Hell here!

Just a quick one here to say Chapter 5 is the final chapter of Morningstar. I've written it so that it can easily become an ongoing series of short stories later on, if there is enough call for further adventures of Lucy :)

I have been shopping Amazon via the BCTS link to help the site. Today I noticed the link is missing. Is there a glitch or has the Amazon link expired? I want to shop but I want BCTS to benefit. Did I miss something?

And 2019 is shaping up to be a good year, ..., not. Think I got scammed / identity theft

Please click here to read this week's part or here to read all parts.

This particular part of the story sparked the most debate of anything I've ever written. Looking back, I believe much of the criticism was warranted, but this time around I hope I've managed make this so called 'naked march' more plausible. Before leaping to conclusions please be assured there will be repercussions at the end of story that I hope will satisfy any of the remaining naysayers.

Earlier today I read the latest part of "Flip" titled

Maeryn's entry to the 2019 January Reader Retention Story Contest.

When I went to hit the 'Thumbs Up\KUDO' button, I thought I'd check out if I had missed the KUDO on any of the parts of the story, and I DID.

So I reviewed all of the other stories I had read in the Contest and I found that I had indeed missed more than 15 over all of the parts of all of the stories I had read in the contest.

This site is such a pain to update on. And as a result I've got 7 chapters ahead on TGStorytime where I'm also posting it. Someone finally called me out on it.

So over the next week there's going to be a new chapter a day until we're all caught up. After that things go on a weekly schedule. There's a bunch of exciting things happening I won't spoil, and at some point soon the plot is going to make a brief appearance before it quickly goes away again.

I have a chapter and a bit of a story that I have probably abandoned for good. What I've got is edited, but my mojo for the story is dead (there wasn't much to begin with, just a cluster of "hah that'd be cool"s

Would it be worth posting what I've got to get people's feedback on the quality of the writing?

Hi all,

I just realised that time is slipping ever faster past the normal 'ken'.

After my emergency surgery last September and the finalisation of my move from one country to another, I have been somewhat selfishly absorbed in many things.

New country, so new doctors. So new routines and new tests and checks.

I don't know how it would be done but there needs to be a way to remove an image from a story. Some image take the front page from publicly suitable to NSFW or in my case in public. I'fe tried the ignore function but the images remain. Once upon a time I could block certain images but that was on a Windows machine and I'm using an Android tablet.

Being unemployed I sometimes take my tablet and go drink some coffee, just to get out of the house. But an image pops up from time to time that I wouldn't want somebody walking by or looking over my shoulder to see.

It's been a real rollercoaster since my last post. Still not officialy divorced because my soon to be ex can't afford the filing costs (but buys a new car).
f
One of the other things bugging me is this.. I am paying 500 euro/month rent at the moment. Enough to pay a mortgage of 80.000 euro on a' fixed % 30 year'- plan. But I can't get 30.000 to buy a small house whatever I try. Or at least nobody willing to give me a mortgage on it.

It’s been a while since I posted here, probably because my life has been fairly stable and reasonably happy for some time. But like all good things, it didn’t last. I know I should have expected it, but I guess I became too comfortable. I became complacent in my comfortable existence and allowed myself to be taken by surprise.

Well, shortly after going to bed tonight, my lovely wife dropped the boom on me.

I re-wrote the ending of my "Cam-eo Performance" story that I posted several months ago: I have revamped the story ending a bit. I hope you like the changes. I went with an ending that I had considered but rejected.

Jane is the story of a boy who discovers he is really a girl.

Audie had always been a boy. But one day, doctors tell him, he's a girl. Can Audrey Jane and her family deal with this new life?

Time to break the news to her macho brothers.

A few months ago, a friend who has read several of my non-TG books asked me to write a screenplay for a seven-minute film.

It was quite an adventure culminating a few days ago when we shot the film.

The film was about a high school girl and her male coach. She had learned that he was considering a job opportunity. He had coached her for five years and would be leaving before her senior year. She was feeling sorry for herself and upset with him. They meet in a gym by themselves.

It was an amazing experience to see actors bring my words to life.

Melanie Browns good work has inspired me to write again so I've edited chapter 6 of The Visit and posted a new Chapter 7. I've enjoyed Texas Belles that brought so many nice memories of my visits to Japan and she is a gifted writer with many great stories.

Just a reminder to people that the last day to publish valid entries in the Reader Retention Contest is next Thursday at midnight (your local time.) If you have a story going you have one more week to finish it up: if you haven't started one yet, well, there's still time to pop out some 4-5k words and split 'em up and get 'em out there!

Just a reminder/update on how voting's gonna work this time around:

Eager to make full use of his incredible opportunity Jim begins playing with menu options despite Alex's protests. If he had known what was to follow, he wouldn't have been so enthusiastic.

For those reading my current series, Just Friends?, I'd like some input about these specific topics: pacing, disclosure and interest. In the latest installment (part 5) I received some comments that gave me the impression that I was pacing this story a little slowly; that the continued non-disclosure of the problem Rick (one of the protagonists) is having is becoming maybe a little frustrating to the readers. So all of this has me wondering if the above might be causing some to lose interest in the story.
