If I dont get a chance to say it tomorrow, Merry Christmas, everybody.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone, wherever you are, whether you celebrate or not--but be sure to think of others and ways that we can all have better years and lives ahead!

I realize my Christmas story is short. It's one that popped in my head.

To my Family here at Big Closet may your family be with you, have good friends that support you, and as much LOVE as you can handle.
MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR to you ALL!!

Merry Christmas to you all guys, may you be happy at least for short while, with those close to whom love you and you love them back. Please, remember it ´s not about gift, but the joy to be with loved ones and bitterweet rememberance of lost ones.
Even though Christmas are mostly Christian celebration, please make a gift of joy to one you love, so they feel loved. Touch them, hug them, because, if there ´s time to do so, today is the day.
Once again merry Christmas to you all.

This is outrageous. It is unfair. It should be a totally unacceptable part of our society. We need to organize a march, we need to picket the White House, we need Pope Francis to say a prayer on behalf of the inflicted.

Has anyone heard from TiffanyShar

Ok so, recently the main member of the popular tv show voiced his opinion of homosexuality, this angered the LGBT community.

So, on a last moment masochistic wtf whim, I drove 16 hours to see my parents. I'm going to be here for Xmas, and the rest of the week.

*thunks head against wall*

Well, at the end of a trying day, I got some good news.

Well, I've just trashed the last of Rons old clothes, after 5 years my stepmom finally allowed me to get rid the last peices of him, hes gone now and I am all that's left... I actualy feel a little bit guilty, for 13 years I pretended to be somebody I wasn't, in a way they had become apart of me and ive just killed him with hormones and panties, lol. I think i should have a funeral for him... what do you guys think.(let me know in the comments)

So this might sound weird but I am having major problems with my boyfriend. I put it here because he is on facebook and reads everything I write.

Wooo, I so chuffed, I managed to creat a title page then link all the chapters of my story.... and I did it correctly!

Since the original blog seems to have disappeared without trace, may I lament the continuing absence of images as of 0109 GMT, 23/12/2013.
Just when I was thinking of updating my avatar as well...

I will not mention her name in the interest of respecting her wish to remain as stealth as possible. Nevertheless, it's been more than two months since I last heard word one from her and, with the things that have happened to her in her life, it worries me that something bad might have happened.

I could be talking about Somewhere Else Entirely, but this time I'm not.

Many of you are concerned, perhaps rightly, about my welfare, so I thought I'd bring you up to date.

And I hope that, unlike Garia and Keren, I don't suffer any more unexpected shocks and surprises along the way...

Is it just my computer but I seem to have lost all pictures on stories and blogs. Only the adverts seem unaffected.

There are days like today I wish I could pick up the phone and call my mother, just one more time.

This is just a test. Happy Holidays.

People have been asking for more of Andrew from Unreachable and I have listened (about f---ing time you're probably saying).

Ugh... just spent the day in washington D.C., with my family. The national botanical gardens where absolutely beautiful♥♡

Well, it's just a few days away now, and while I have been in and out of here a bit I haven't posted a story in a while. So I will just use this blog to wish you one and all the very best wishes for the season. May whatever higher power you believe in keep you health,happy and whole. It's been a busy year for me and I hope to slow down a little next year so I can write more. My count is probably off, but I am pretty sure we lost two of our own this year so remember those families as well. Keep your nose clean even if it takes both shirt sleeves,(lol)

So, I finally got an MD at the Veterans Hospital that had active brain cells, and she told me things I had never heard before. Generally speaking, other women, even natural ones, will not share these details.

Okay, so I feel like an idiot. The reason why the TV didn't work was that the power bar wasn't plugged in.

On the other hand, this means I dont have to get a new TV, so yay?

we are all there for her but I would like to know how she is doing

Well, with a soft "pop" sound, my TV died.

Rest in Peace, old friend ...

As the title line says. If anyone does wish to buy my books, the easiest search term for them on Amazon is 'Sussex Border Stories'. I continue to work on Elaine's story, in 'Sisters', part 4 of which is up today.

Odd how it now feels almost like work, now that I am being paid for it...

On an impulse I decided to make a change and set a small portion of my latest work Battle for Earth in the region surrounding the Canadian Rockies specifically the particular stretch in the south-western corner of Alberta. Although I'm somewhat well traveled within the United States, my journeys have not yet taken me outside of our borders. So, I'm hoping someone here could help me with that particular deficiency.

Had an appointment with the doctor, and he wants to book me for surgery on my foot as soon as possible. He talked about it being a "fibroid mass", and mentioned the possibility of getting a biopsy on it once its removed to be sure its not cancer.

Now, why couldn't I get that on my male bits instead ?

Ah, well.

I set the donations goal for November at only $1000 so we could start December at $0 instead of continuing to be a whole month off. November also completed our 14th year of running BigCloset!

Did battle with her for two days her in southeastern Ny. 26 hours lated an extremely tired Talia emerged victorious! (Such is the life of a DOT snow plow truck driver). Of coarse though now I'm way behind in my reading so patients authors, comments forth coming soon. Loving Hugs All, Talia

Well, I get up around 4AM tomorrow, drive to the clinic with my boy, and go back to sleep under an anesthesiologist's care. 4-5 Hours later I will wake up with a new vagina. It is funny, I've been scared and nervous about this surgery once I knew it was going to happen, but no more. Waiting is the hard part, but now the waiting is over. I am excited about it, but mostly just want to get it over with.

Hi everyone, missed you. Wow I cant believe how far behind i am in my stories, not to mention reading others. Of course going on vacation, work and helping a friend through her illness does eat up ones writing time. Well, ill be posting soon so I hope everyone has a good holiday.

PS Some evil person got me reading Harry Potter fanfic, I cant believe how much of a time sink that's been reading on 600+ stories on fanfic site :)

Yes, I've been busy, and I thought I would share.

I was looking at my account details earlier today and I was shocked to discover that I have gotten over 5000 kudos in the year and a half or so that I have been on BCTS. It came as a bit of a shock to me with as much time as I've had to spend not writing since I started here due to health or computer issues. So I would like to take this time to thank all of my readers who comment, kudo, send me messages, patiently wait for new chapters when RL swallows me up, and generally make me feel like an author rather than a scribbler.

Since you've so far got over 70% of the tunes on my infernal acronym quiz without much difficulty (although I've noticed edits have dried up recently (Hint Hint)), I thought I'd search out some more obscure songs for the next iteration.

Among them, I discovered this ever-so-slightly tongue-in-cheek track, which for rather obvious reasons never makes it onto seasonal compilation albums... :)

I just reread my favorite short Christmas story. You can find it here: http://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/fiction/32457/pink-angel . I never tire of it.

I have said before that some outfits can improve a man's appearance, and last night at work I got a good example of it. One of my supervisors was wearing a western-style dress shirt that flattered him nicely, and once I finished berating myself for noticing, I decided to give myself a break on the subject.

But it did get me thinking about flirting with men, and having a man flirt with me.

An interesting short quiz on grammar usage.

There is so much peace in driving out through the desert, but I have never been out there in the winter. Sometimes I see pictures with snow out in the sage brush and wonder how it got there. We used to go out in the desert to camp. I loved looking up at the stars at night. Sometimes I would lay there under the jewel bright heavens and doze. Once in a while I'd wake up and look at the stars and I would notice that the Milky Way had swiveled a little. I remember that sort of like a time lapse movie. The nights when the moon was gone were the best.

I have the brave face on right now. I may look like I'm alright, or sound it. But this time of year is ....hard for me.

I put this in the comment section under my last post but I will do so here as well for those who quit reading the story for one reason or another.

Hello everone! I'm of need of some opinions here. My book Heroes of Justice has lingered in the backroom for ages. There're many reasons why, but mostly because of the lack of a cover. Yes, I do know that many has come forward with solutions, but for me it turned into a mountain of frustrations.

Finally, money problems has forced my hand, so ready or not.

This is a cover I've put together that I think looks half-way decent. My question is what do you my three fans think? What might improve it?

Some time back I was outed by one of my nephews, a particularly nasty and unthinking individual whose actions have unfortunately caused me multiple issues, not to mention the total polarization of my ex-wife's family. My ex-wife was the only person outside of my therapist and my friends here who actually new that I was transitioning - my plan being to address this with my sons in the spring of 2014. My three sons, who at the time my nephew decided to tell the world were aged 17, 22, and 25, unfortunately found out in a less than optimal fashion.
