If I Was Your Husband 7 & 8 of 20 is up. Another late in the day post. Still not getting the hang of posting a series on a schedule.

This time I had it totally formatted and ready to go. The only tweaking it needed was fixing a typo in the summary.

using a hug as a weapon?

So last night I dreamed this huge guy was threatening people, so I went to him and said I'd shut him down if he didn't stop.

He loomed over me, and said "I'd like to see you try."

So I bear-hugged him so hard I think I broke something in his back.

He vanished.

So, what do you guys think. are huggles dangerous weapons?

Britain is more liberal

Author: 

According to the British Social attitudes survey, except it seems towards transgender people.

'The study notes, however, that attitudes towards transgender people – recorded only since 2016 – appear more volatile, with a recent sharp decline in public support. The proportion of the British public describing themselves as “not prejudiced” towards transgender people fell from 82% to 64% between 2021 and 2022, when the latest survey took place.

"If It Was Your Husband" 5 & 6 is up. Sorry for posting so late in the day. I didn't sleep well last night and somehow after work I didn't think about what day it was, until just now.

Authenticity in Stories

Trying to write effectively after a long period of absence is so hard right now. I can only hope that it gets better. Today, while reading another's work, it was clear that they had "missed a spot". I'll be even more alert to this weakness in both my own work, and in the work of others. As an example; when something happens to transform a man into a woman, perhaps it should follow that his brain and thought patterns should change too? Or perhaps the writer could make it clear that his change was merely superficial?

A Remembrance of Stories Past

It’s a beautiful morning, and as I was drinking my first morning coffee (no, I never stop at one!), I was thinking back to the stories that first captured my attention, and my heart, at BC. Two came to mind, each by an author that hasn’t posted here in years.

The first is Rebecca Anderson’s series Wild Horses, a heart-breaking story of love, transformation, life and loss from an author whose prose is absolutely amazing. I think I found this story through a Google search, and it brought me to BC.

Trying to find a story

I am trying to find a story that I read years back.

It might have been by Bob Arnold, and his characters from Zapped! were involved in it to a small extent.

It was about a boy who was at a native American site (Possibly his mother was an archaeologist?) and ended up in a copper kettle used for special ceremonies, and was hit by lightening and he was transformed into a female. IIRC there was some evil men trying to grab the archaeological site for a resort of something. I just can't remember more.

It was a good read and I really want to read it again.

I don't know if I've ever had so much fun writing, or been so prolific...

On average, I write about 20,000 words a month. Recently, I've been having some issues, so I haven't been writing as much. But things are maybe not entirely okay now, but things are what they are. Anyhow, I've been writing a lot more now, most notably for stories that I plan to post here. My regular writing is on track, so the stories I write here aren't getting in the way on them.

Forces for Good?

Today I looked at reviews on a story I posted on Fictionmania and found this one, from a reviewer calling themselves "King" - "I would ask you to reflect on whether the stories and work you're doing is a force of good or one of wrong. What's the legacy being left behind and is it one of moral good. We all have the capability to do good,and you should reflect on the values and ideas being normalized and propagated by yourself. Please do better".
I have to say that these words did give me pause, and perhaps we should all reflect on whether our fiction has a greater purpose.

About "If It Was Your Husband"

I'm about to start posting a new story. It's entitled "If It Was Your Husband". It's the story I talked about in my last blog. After editing it now weighs in at 49,188 words. It's in twenty chapters. It is completely finished and had been out to an editor and back. It is my intention to post it two chapters at a time. That will make each post roughly 5,000 words. It will be my first time posting serial. New adventure as a writer.

The first installment is due to go up tomorrow and it is my intention to post every Friday for the next ten weeks.

Familiar as that young man’s face.
I had a young man’s dreams, back then –
The race to run, the world to win –
But other dreams I had as well,
Because my Emma was within.

Remembering Holly Hart 10 Years On

Tomorrow will be ten years since Holly Hart passed away. It still feels strange to me that Holly is gone. They say time heals all wounds but I’ve found that when people pass they leave a hole commensurate in size with the role they played in your life. That hole doesn’t ever go away, it just becomes part of the landscape - a monument in a sense. And as you traverse its circumference you feel the loss and hopefully remember the joy as well.

The Story that just kept telling itself. == Story length question

Most of my stories end up being somewhere in the 17K to 20K word range and I've always posted them in a single posting. But I just finished a story that comes in at just over 49K.

I've never posted a serial before. I have the ablity to do an interactive table of contents. So it would be easy enough to break it into chapters for folks to read. That would give them the ablity to read as many chapters as they wanted and then come back to it later and using the table of contents pick up the story where they left off.
