Just a quick note for Becoming Robin and/or Boys Don't Cry fans, I'm still writing, and I'm still okay. :-) There's a lot happening in my life, none of it I'm really at liberty to discuss right now because some of it is business-related, and the rest of it is very very personal, and I respect the other person involved's privacy too much to say anything in public like this. ;-)
What I CAN say is that if all goes well, in the next six months:
1) I'll have a contract job as a professional writer for a project you'll be hearing about before long. I signed a non-disclosure agreement so I can't say anything other than that the company legally recognizes me as Zoe ;-)
2) Road trip. This is another of those "If all goes well and the stars align" things. As in, if things work out I'm going to be spending somewhere between a couple of weeks to a month entirely full-time as Zoe. :-)
3) Transition. I have a very dear friend living in Florida who's offered to take me in in a few months, once things settle down in both our lives. At that point, she's going to help me go through the steps that I need to be myself once and for all, including finding a proper therapist, arranging laser hair removal, and all that fun stuff. Even if I don't transition fulltime, I want the hair removal done because I am so sick of shaving my face :-P
It's not all roses and gumdrops. I've had to face and deal with a LOT of personal demons just in the last two weeks and I still have a long, hard road ahead, but even if things don't go well, and 1 and 2 don't happen, 3 is still on the table. I don't plan to rush into anything of course. I'm not going to do something stupid like self-medicate on hormones or something, but I really, really need this if I'm going to ever feel like a normal human being :-)
Anyway, the personal demon stuff is actually what's gotten in the way of my writing more than the new job has. The job is one of the three that I would without hesitation consider a dream job, and not because I'm signed on as Zoe :-P
I've been sitting on this news for two weeks now, but with Robin and Sarah's stories slowing, I wanted to let everyone know that they're not in any danger of being stopped. Besides, someone very near and dear to me would be furious if I stopped writing either. ;-)
Love,
Zoe

Thank you for the news.

Good luck!
As you've already signed an NDA, I assume you definitely will be doing some writing for profit in the near future. So hopefully by this time next year we'll know the details, once the NDA is either no longer active or has been modified in light of what would already have been released by that time.
So good luck with that, and let's hope your life stabilises enough to have your first 'total immersion' into living as Zoe 24/7 (for a few weeks at least), and from then on, getting acquainted with a bunch of medical professionals :) So good luck with that as well.
There are 10 kinds of people in the world - those who understand binary and those who don't...
As the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body, then only left-handers are in their right mind!
Thanks!
Things are moving along really well so far. I've already started working on things, and so far everyone seems to like what I've put forward.
The move is going to be the best part just to get into a more civilized, urban area, but having good friends to help with the adjustment is going to be key though.
For the first week when all this started to happen, I was pinching myself on about an hourly basis because it all happened so fast, I literally kept expecting to wake up and find out it was my mind's cruel joke :-)
The irony is that now even when I'm asleep, I'm dreaming about work :-P

Go Zoe! =D
Yay!
Pleased to hear that things are looking good for the future Zoe. I'll keep my fingers crossed that everything works out for you.

Thanks again Zoe,

'sounds good,I hope it all works out for you,you deserve the break.

Well I didn't sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement!
...so I'm free to tell everyone what a terrific girl you are. You've provided me with fun and entertainment and more than just a few tears of joy with your work. And you've provided me with friendship. I am so excited for you, and you remain in my prayers for continued success and certainly that happiness we've discussed.
Oh...and Zoe will be appearing in "The Singer and Her Wife;" a limited run at the DiMaggio Theater in downtown Closetville. (Shameless self-promotion) Tickets are free, but seats are going fast. Love you, dear child!!!!!
Dio vi benedica tutti
Con grande amore e di affetto

Love, Andrea Lena
What was jarring...
... was that today I was told that if I had applied with another big company that I probably would've been snatched up quickly. I'm happy with where I am now though and what I'm doing.
And I look forward to seeing the fruits of your labor Aunt 'Drea! :-D
I've got my fingers crossed!
I'd cross my toes, but I don't have any, and trying to cross my butt is just painful. Good luck on everything, Zoe!
