Cathy Linda Michael just called me to reassure me she's okay.
She's not ready to 'pop her clogs yet' (her words not mine). She's now fit enough to chat on skype but not too often and she's improving slightly yet slowly.
We chatted for about 20 mins and she sends her love to everybody.
I spoke to Cathy Michael tonight on skype. She's still in hospital and complaining about the food. (Old soldiers never die.) She's going for more tests tomorrow and she's still denied access to Big Closet.
I've just wiped out 2400 words of chapter 64 by the simple mistake of touching 'control c c 'through shaky finger (old age) So no Feminist Queendom tonight.
For some strange reason, chapter 48 (and the six comments) have disappeared from my page and the chapter list. I have reposted it but now the chapter list is out of kilter.
For some strange reason, the text of Babs' New Year's Resolution 78 seems to have dropped off my page . The title pops up but the text beneath is missing.
I noticed at approximately 2030 UST that my earlier novel Mindful had been re-posted.
I was pleasantly surprised by this (Thanks Erin) There is a copy for sale on Amazon.
I then set about reading some of the old comments and somebody had mentioned that they preferred to read a novel length story in one session, rather like a book.
Consequently, I've re-posted the follow-on novel Mindful 2 in it's entirety but it is also up for sale on Amazon and the proceeds go to BC (I think)
Merging the two stories 'Heir to a Title with 'Bab's New Years Resolution'.
Just as I blended the tail end of my story 'Skipper into to the beginning of 'Heir to a title,' so I have now taken the opportunity to weave together the last parts of 'Heir to a Title with the on-going story of 'Bab's New Year's Resolution'.
I have put a note in the Notes preceding chapter 33 of Bab's New years Resolution.
Hope too many people won't be offended by this short cut but it's the best way to deal with the time element devoted to writing.
Mindful2, The Follow-up to Mindful is finally on Amazon Books, Kindle. Search for 'Mindful2 by Beverly Taff'.
This is the complete novel including the final chapter.
I'm thinking of a possible follow on titled 'Mindful3' because I did leave a narrow opening to expand the story but I'm still deciding in what context and theme the story can go forward.
Whenever I am searching for a story and try the the search button I get the message ERROR 502 Bad Connection. Can anybody explain how I search for a story because there does not seem to be a search button where I can type in the title and get the story up.
Well!
After umpteen years of gestation, the second book of Mindful is finished. It will shortly be available for consumption once the 'elves' of B.C. have sorted it out.
I just tried to send bunce by Pay-pal. It is useless. They keep changing my password and I refuse to write it down because that is a sure way to get robbed. I used my card instead. Pay-pal is not secure if they keep wanting me to change my password every time I forget.
I managed to send some money direct to Janglewood - I think.
I recently (Tonight) ordered some material from 'AMAZING TRANSFORMATION COMICS but they did not deliver. They took my money but did not allow me to download the product. My advice to BC top shelfers is to avoid this site, it seems to be a rip off.
For some reason, Jangle wood won't accept my user name or email address. After PayPal states that I have paid, a big yellow page with the word Janglewood pops up telling me that - The page could not be found and an error number Node.3- appears.
Had the eight-week check over. Everythings seems okay. Cycling in about 3 weeks. Possibly, (No that's being unecessarily pessimistic,) lets try next week.
I came home unexpectedly to my apartment in Cardiff to find my flat-mate Lexa cooking. The crazy thing is her mode of dressing to cook is nothing unusual, Lexa cooking however?? Now that is unusual.
I crept up behind her and asked if she was making 'Chicken Flap sauce' She nearly wet her knickers cos' she wasn't expecting me!
Found this little fellow alive in my attic yesterday (Wed 4th Sept.) I opened the windows but he failed to make it and I found him/her dead this morning on the floor minus his head.
He has a wing span of approx. 4.5 to 5 inches and is quite rare in the UK.
It seems I cannot log into transgender forum and there is no contact process that I can find to discover who has used my email address. My attempt to sign up was blocked because my email address has already been used by someone. I tried all my own passwords but no luck. Seems I'm not wanted on TG Forum.
Ahh well there are plenty of other sites on the internet.
I read Persephone's poem 'Pegasus has Landed' and began to think about the imagery and subsequent self-imagery it represents.
The arrival of the winged horse well conveys Persephone's path of transition and her feelings about it. The freedom and beauty that equine flight has brought to Persephone's life is well described therein.
Naturally I fell to wondering how my life has panned out and how it will progress from now to the end.
Well that's the foot fixed. I have a load of paperwork and planning applications and Landlord Licences to sort out so I'm taking the next six weeks off to sort it out. That's how long the surgery on my foot is going to take to heal. They've had to break the fifth RHS metatarsal and re-align it with a scarf joint and screws so my right foot doesn't resemble a hobbit's. Wont be able to walk without crutches for four weeks then it's 'heel-weight-bearing, for the next two weeks.
