Erika goes to Hollywood

I am SO excited about the next few chapters of this story being posted, I can hardly contain myself. I just want to post them all right now. but then what will you do after you're done bingeing on them?
Just finishing up Chapter 8 or is it 9? of this part of Erika's story. and feeling very accomplished.

bonus. a couple of the upcoming chapters won't fit into my 3,000 word episode average, so you'll be able to enjoy a few longer parts of the story.

I really hope you all are enjoying it.

Need Some Help

So I need some writing help. I'm currently developing a story with a young person who when born was mistaken for male up until puberty. When puberty hit, they started to develop like a young woman and not a man. I'm wondering if there is a specific medical condition that can describe that. I don't really want to create one for this story because it just won't feel accurate to me. I want it to feel real and plausible. Any help would greatly be appreciated :).

Returning to Writing

So I've been away for a while... I'm planning on working on some of my unfinished works as I have time but I wouldn't expect things to happen very fast. I'm not sure where the various works stand and I will have to re-read them to try to figure out where i was going with them in the first place...

Better Late or Better Avoidance!

Well its been a better second part of the week - a couple of short bike rides (80km and 135km!) and slightly better weather - well its got above 0c a few times even if I still feel a bit out of sorts.

The next Gaby chapter, Filmed, is now up for reading and i'll get cracking on the next instalments this week in the prelude to Gab's birthday next Sunday.

In the meantime, here's an extract from Avoidance 2 just to get the juices going!

Despite the warm sunshine, it’s just another rainy day.......

Yeah, it may be warm and sunny outside, but here in my world it’s just another dreary, rainy day.

I had a really good weekend last weekend, spending five days at home in Upstate NY with my wife and family. My wife Emilia and I spent several really good days together - nothing special, just some shopping, riding in the car, a few quiet meals with just the two of us, just talking and enjoying being together. I surprised her with a Valentine’s Day gift early as I knew I wouldn’t be home on the 14th, and she actually bought me a little something in return on Saturday.

Sarah Emma Edmonds' "Nurse and Spy in the Union Army"

I've been slowly reading through Sarah Emma Edmonds' Nurse and Spy in the Union Army (1864). She was a Canadian immigrant who disguised herself as a man to serve in the Union army during the American Civil War. One passage of her book reminded me of those TG stories where someone is transformed into a woman either in order to evade military service, or as a punishment because they are unwilling to serve, such as The Professor's "Draft Dodger Rag" and many others:

Meanwhile, my aunt does have cancer - stage one, apparently, so she's also looking at a long slog before any recovery ...

MtF Transgender Endocrinology

I would be very interested to hear what young transgender folk are experiencing in terms of Endocrinology. For the people in my generation and almost as old, some of us experience almost no breast growth, even post SRS. For me, breast growth has been rather generous, and I suspect that is due to variations in genetics ???

I just read a story about a young woman in Austrailia who has persuaded the authorities that only she and her Doctor need to be involved in her life and not the Judge.

Good morning all,

Someone recently posted on one of Penny's (excellent, of course) contributions suggesting that the small writing at the top with the keywords such as 'SEE' or 'JoB' or 'Somewhere Else Entirely' or 'Anmar' is too small to actually grab the attention of readers. They requested an Anmar logo or symbol to make our stories leap out from the page more.

The good news is that most of my work related troubles are resolved.
I am also nearly finished with my big move into a new apartment.

However, there is still one hurdle in my way.

Perhaps there is hope for us ?

I was at my little brother's house and we were talking about stuff while he had me trouble shooting his vacuum cleaner. Out of the blue, he stopped talking and looked lost for a minute. Then he said, "My Grandson is Transgendered". He then revealed that he (she) is 5 years old. He told me that the child's mother, my brother's daughter, said that they had been through the Doctor, Shrinks and endless sessions of telling the child that they were not going anywhere until HE put on the right clothes, until it became obvious that this was not just a passing fancy on the child's part.

A Bright Spot in a Dark movie

Just saw the new film The Snowman, based on the book by Jo Nesbø featuring the alcoholic detective Harry Hole. Much talent went into it with not a lot to show for it, and that’s all I’ll say as a review. HOWEVER, the actress Jamie Clayton has a small role as Edda, the IT or systems analyst for the police department. There’s a scene at the beginning where she lectures the police on a new gadget for them to carry, and some scenes later where she supplies Harry with much-needed information.

Do people not like writing then anymore? I do and most pieces I start, start off as SOLO's and only go to multi-part when it becomes obvious that it will work better when published like that.

Look out for SOLO story from me over the weekend. It will be called 'The First Time I Saw Her Face'.

if any of my boys told me that they want to be a girl then I would now be 100 percent behind them and try to help them in any way I can.
