Later on today I will post my story "The Stranger at the Table" and then I am going to seriously cut back on the time I spend online. I am going to be starting Phenom later today (the fourth book in the God Bless the Child saga) and also working on a biography, so it's not like I'm taking a break from writing.
I think a lot of people misunderstood my last post. I am not upset that someone found my writing boring. Hell I know I'm not cut out for everyone. It's the fact that they messaged me to tell me that which really got my panties in a bunch. Added to that, that Tanya posted that she has only 1 1-star review on Amazon and I have tons, made the timing a little dicey for criticism. I do not write what a lot of people write, I understand that. I tend to stay away from escapists fantasy, which is so popular. I don't even know if I write for the transgender community any more. My goal, since God Bless the Child in 2003 has been to give a voice to what transsexuals go through. Maybe posting it on this site is where I go wrong, you already know what you go through.
Anyway. At first I was just going to not post any more on here, but that isn't fair to the people who read my stuff and enjoy it and find it worthwhile. So today I will post my short story as a whole and maybe someone can write a review or 2 on Amazon (I got like so many bad reviews this week it made me cry). But after I post it I got to go back to what I think I do best (I'm often delusional) and write epic novels. Phenom isn't even complete in my head, I got ideas but no clear direction. I'm hoping once I start things come to me. The biography will take longer. I am still learning about the person myself. My goal is to write 2000 words a day on the novel and maybe 1000 on the biography at two different sittings. I hope I don't burn out.
Take care of yourselves.

Do what you feel you need to do
I understand how you feel and I can honestly say that not all of us here experience the exact same things. Personally I find your writing eloquent and enlightening, I am glad that you share your talents wuth us here and I will continue to be one of many that tell you thank you. Please don't think that anyone here doesn't want you to continue writing. I can understand that you need to take a break and do something different from time to time. I will be patently waiting for your next story when you post it. Have fun and be who you feel you are.

A break
A break is definitely what you need. Don't worry about anything. Relax at a pool somewhere, sip a juicy drink, walk around the neighbourhood, talk with the neighbours a little, play tennis. Before long you will definitely write something awesome. You're just too attached to your books right now. Go, have fun.
We will be waiting for you to come home.
You too
Take care flower, and let us know how you're doing when you get the urge to.
