They are trying to compare my problems with normal people with body image issues.

It's not something they can understand, every minute with my eyes open is another second I'm screaming inside my head. Because when I'm awake I have to face the fact my body is wrong. The screaming inside my head doesn't stop anymore. I want to rip my skin off sometimes. No medication can fix the constant emotional pain, the frustration, helplessness and hopelessness I'm in It's why I stay in my room, reading sometimes distracts me.

"Learning to Talk Like a Woman (or Man)"
Learning to Talk Like a Woman (or Man)

I have been thinking a lot about the mistake I made with Mercy. Namely, that I posted chapters as they were written, rather than wait until I had the story complete. I believe that the length of time between posting, especially when I couldnt even say when more might come, helped lower the opinion of people about the series. Plus, I believe the pressure I put on myself to try and keep interest in the story led me to post very short chapters that also probably turned a lot of people off.

According to Deadline Hollywood Avatar 2 and 3 have got real release dates.

We have been waiting for the Second Installment of this series for so long i feel it has lost relevance.
Maybe that is why they might actually o them, heck Camron has said the studio talked him into doing all the way up to Avatar 5 .
Heck Disney has gotten in on the Act.

I need to amend my previous blog post because I really didn't explain what happened all too well.

Indeed sorry to all the Gabfen expecting the last chapter of Gaby Book 14 today. For reasons outside of my control i've not had any internet access today.

As a result it'll now be posted on Wednesday when i'm expecting that part one of Book 20, Gaby Express to become available.

Which reminds me, I'd best get back to actually writing it!

Nature is reputedly red in tooth and claw, things will kill each other possibly to eat or as rivals. This was the sad end to our dormouse survey today. The picture contains the body of a dormouse which has been attacked and killed possibly by a wood mouse. It was the only one we found today, making it doubly sad. To think the poor thing survived the winter then possibly went torpid overnight and met a wood mouse...

Oh this isn't about politics or religion so you can rest easy on that front. What I'm writing about is something that occurs in some authors writing on occasion and that is references to other authors and their works. Now I understand that it's nice to be able to mention your friends and fellow authors in your work. I am sure it gives you and the aforementioned authors a nice warm feeling and does the same for many of their friends.

Caitlyn Jenner reflects on how her life has changed since transitioning into a woman

It is a nice article where Caitlyn expresses her emotions and feelings. An excellent read from a beautiful person who only wants to be what she has always felt in her heart and soul.

sound bites from the story:

Just so anybody reading chapter 20 of Mercy and worried that it says "The end ... for now", dont worry just yet.

I plan to bring Mercy, Brand, and company back for a Book 2, with a focus on the idea of self-forgiveness.

I mean, its great to forgive others, but what if you cant forgive yourself?

I have no timeline for when I'll actually be able to have something to share, but I promise that as soon as I do, I will post it for everybody who still likes these characters to enjoy.

And I'm having a fat-tailed feline hissy fit because I can't find it!!!!

Spoilers follow . . .

I've come to a realization that I'm not the kind of person I thought I was. Last night I went to post a story I had written and I come to find out that what I had written had unknowingly ripped off another story. Upon that happening it really hit me, I can't write anymore. Anything I write could possibly end up the same way and I don't want that.

So, to save my sanity and put this to rest I'm putting down the pad and paper and moving on from writing as a whole.

To anyone that even cared to read what I wrote, I thank you.

Well, I am glad to report I have made some progress on stuff. I got my tax rebate into the bank today, and discovered that my former employer had FINALLY given me my holiday pay. Then I went to the E.I. office, and discovered I had made a small mistake which was delaying my claim, and fixed it.

All this, plus I've gotten some serious progress done on the next chapter of Mercy, so I am super happy at the moment.

Anime is an art form, specifically animation, that includes all genres found in cinema, but it can be mistakenly classified as a genre. In Japanese, the term anime refers to all forms of animation from around the world. In English, anime (/ˈænəˌmeɪ/) is more restrictively used to denote a "Japanese-style animated film or television entertainment" or as "a style of animation created in Japan".

Had an interesting day, put up some trellis for my ex, took my daughter to lunch and then fixed her bike plus a hundred mile drive each way. Then just as I'm gearing up to start scribbling Bike, my glasses fell apart or shall we say, a lens fell out. I then spent a fruitless twenty minutes trying to find the screw responsible only to discover it was still in the frame. It's a weird arrangement because the screw holding the lens in is under the arm not on the top and I couldn't see it because I didn't have my glasses.

This is so frustrating and not sure what I should do... I'm so close to wrapping up Robbie's Revelation (The 1st book at least), I have 3 maybe 4 chapters left to where I want to end the Revelation part at.. Now my time is already limited severely for writing, so what's my muse decide to do?!? She starts throwing a completely new story around in my head and it's distracting me from finishing Revelation...

Trying to get her to focus on the story I want to write right now would be harder than herding cats..

God if I have to hear anymore Hold Music I am going to snap!

45 minutes on hold with the Good Old Sate DPS customer service to find out where my License is since I renewed it over a Month ago.

Now I have been on Hold with one of the local hospital for 30 minutes on hold!

If I ever find the people that designed those automated systems just to get threw to a human being, and or chose there Hold music, it will not be pretty.

I dont know how others write, but I tend to write in sequence - that is, I write the first part of a chapter first, then each event as it occurs.

Once in a great while after I have finished a part of a chapter, I realize something would actually work better earlier, and switch it around, but generally the story unfolds as I write it.

But I think I need to do something different for the next chapter of Mercy.

Couldn't resist sharing this one with you.

Sometime last evening, I read a new chapter of A Longer War by Cyclist.

This has proven to be one of my favorite stories, and many of the chapters have had a serious impact on me - especially the early ones. As the story progressed, it continued to stir my emotions and sentiments - although for different reasons. But this latest chapter, lake many of the early ones, has stricken a particular chord within me.

Does this RL story copy a story here?

It's hard to believe that real life can prove that men are stupidly competitive. Even while many BC stories stress how 'men' are over competitve and 'women' are collaborative, is that how cliches work?

Check out this vileness from last Wednesday's episode on CBS of 'Survivor' (recorded last year).

For fun, isn't that what writing is all about? Unless we are trying to change the world. I started a Whateley Fan story. I bogged down when I realized I had no idea who all the main actors-actresses in the story were named.

Head of the school is Ms. Carson That's a no brainer.

Mrs. Horton Den mother for Poe

Security Captain Franklin Delarose

Ophelia Tenent Dr. Teacher, counselor

Anyone familiar with the others want to give me a heads up?

Sooo sorry - I'm late in posting the last chap of SA. But it's coming! It will be up within the hour. Of course, life went crazy today. It will be a long chapter - 3x as long as the others; possibly more satisfying since the others were almost too short (I probably won't post like that again). Thank you for your patience.

Hugs! - **Sigh**

Just finished binge watching Thirteen Reasons Why on Netflix.

This should be required watching for every high school student.

It scored a 90 on Rotten Tomatoes.

Accurate portrayal of bullying.

Quite moving.

Well, despite a long time delay that made me wonder if my muse was no longer interested in Mercy, she gave me enough to finish chapter 19.

I hope the long delay hasn't scared away all my readers ...

Yes indeed, it's Good Friday, start of the longest weekend of the year.

I've been working like billy O to get Girl's on Fire finished for you and i'm pleased to say that from today you can access the complete book at Lulu and Amazon. For technical reasons (I'm writing this on the phone!) I can't give you direct links until Sunday but you know where to go right?

So at Amazon you can get Kindle and Paper versions and at Lulu, PDF and Paper.

I hope you all enjoy it and please if you can leave feedback/reviews and I'm happy to hear your comments either here or via PM.

Uproar After ‘Survivor’ Contestant Is Outed as Transgender

For all the fans currently re-reading The Stations Late Nite Princess. I have to inform you that after this weekend the body of the story will no loner be up. I will be leaving the comments, since I find them good to read.

some good news, and some bad news

First, the good news. I got a call from Employment Insurance, and they said that they should be making a decision on it soon, but my claim looks good.

But then, the bad news. I had an emotionally exhausting counseling session, and came home to read 2 stories here that look like they are headed into very dark territory, which has left me shaky.

Hoped to get some writing done, but it might not happen now.

Hello!

I hope you are well. I would like to apologise for the long delay without new chapters. I have been so busy at work lately and am dog tired all the time. It has become impossible for me to write anything meaningful as I am usually too tired to think. I do have some free time coming up this holiday so maybe I can get a few chapters out. I know how it feels when a story you enjoy just stops with no end in sight >sigh< and I always try to avoid that though I am failing abysmally.So i hope to get going again this weekend, fingers crossed!))

No, really!

I'm looking for a few interested tech-heads, game geeks, and dungeon masters! You! Yes, and you too!

Why?

For a venture I'd like to try: an LGBT friendly (though, to be clear, by no means strictly LGBT FOCUSED) gaming site.

Well, I had a very bad day today. First, I tried to get my pink slip from my old work only to be told its up to my local guy - a guy I cant even get a hold of - to get that done.

Then, I went out and found that someone had gotten into my car - again - and threw everything in my glove compartment around. At least this time, my battery wasn't dead ...

I have publishing my story, Playing her way, under a general audience rating up until now. For the chapter just released I have upgraded the rating to PG15.

Those of you who have been observantly following the story may have spotted reference to an incident that has yet to be expanded upon. In the Christmas day episode, it was mentioned that Emily's whereabouts is being kept secret because somebody was mistaken for her and beaten up.

Chapter 11 covers this incident and therefore comes with a violence warning.

It's a lonely world out there searching for answers everyone else tries to give when they have no idea what transgender is or means because they never had those emotions of being one.

Every now and them I go to the "My Stories" link and see if there are any new comments on any of my stories. I haven't put out a new story for years, so I don't expect any comments or activity on my stories. Surprisingly there was one new comment on a story. More surprisingly though is that one of my stories have reached over 10,000 views.

Not dead. (Yet) ;-)

As numerous PMs inquired. :-)

Just wrestling with the muse.

SERIOUSLY wrestling with the muse.

I've churned out a lot of my 3 open stories (Secondhand Life, Summer of Love and Roomies) - and coming back a day later to read over, decided none of it was worth posting. :-(

I'm not sure whether the muse let me down or that self-doubt caused me to smother her...

“YOUR NAME” the movie - Mitsuha begins switching (genders) bodies with Taki, a teen-age boy at a Tokyo high school. “Make me a handsome Tokyo boy in my next life!”

‘He,’ ‘She,’ ‘They’ and Us

I've been working on my third 'sweet sixteen' story. Our bubbly protagonist is, again, more than she seems at first.

But I'm looking for some ideas for terminology.

As with most technological advances, new jargon is invented. I'm looking for suggestions.

First of all, what do we call the various generations? We currently have the boomers, gen X, gen Y, millennials, and the like. We need terms for:

Those, like our sweet sixteen girl, that were born early enough that they grew up knowing that they would live to less than 100, then die.

Hello <3 I'm Nyka, I'm a 25 year old trans woman and I also happen to be a graphic designer.

When I first found this page it was because my friend Melanie introduced me to this place. ( https://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/user/rasufelle if you are so inclided)

Some time ago, I posted a blog about my feminine glasses.

I planned on another chapter today but somehow when I went to copy the edited chapter to a separate document that document doesn't note the changes (it looks the same) and in the edited version every word has a line through it. Its a mess. I've asked Ashleigh to send me another copy so it should be resolved soon.

What a mess.

Thanks for your patience

A new anime series start airing today!

Busou Shoujo Machiavellianism

The Private Aichi Symbiosis Academy was originally a high school for high-class girls. When it became co-ed, the girls, out of fear, asked to be permitted to bring weapons to school. When that was enforced, a five-member vigilante corps-like organization called the "Supreme Five Swords" was also formed.

After many generations, the five swords eventually became a group which corrected problematic students, and the academy started proactively accepting such students in order to correct them.

If you havent read it yet, Bailey Summers' latest piece, Touch Starved so hits it on the head it hurts.

I often feel like I am starving to be touched, but thankfully I do have my mom so the occasional hug can happen for me.

So thank you Bailey, for saying what so many of us feel ...

One of my favorite anime songs, sung and instrumental-wise, is the second ending to the anime series "Accel World." I sourced the pieces of this blog from a variety of places to bring it all together onto one page to view it as a whole - "Unite." ~Sephrena

Sadly, I report the death of Denise A. Trask on April 1 in Milan, Italy of a cerebral hemorrhage. Denise was seventy seven. At this time, I have no information regarding funeral services.

Denise was a well known author and patron of this site. Denise collaborated with T. D. Aldonetti, author of Air Force Sweetheart, to write the sequel, Duty Calls, which Denise continued after Teddy’s death, under the non de plume of Renae A. Dumas.

Denise also wrote Last of the Fey under the pseudonym Anesidora’s Urn, which she later published under the name D. H. Trask.
