Hi folks

so last night I dreamed that during a marathon that I was participating in I saw a large snake about to get among the runners, I was able to capture the snake holding it just behind the head. And with barriers on both sides of the course, I felt I had no choice but to finish the course while keeping a hold on the critter.

Bizarre, yes?

Yep, Dennis is still disrupting things!

As people may know, I write short stories.
I read non-fiction mainly, but if I am going to take a fiction book away somewhere, I like a collection of short stories.
I am not pretending to their class, but some of the best writers a best with short stories: Hemingway, James, O Henry, Graves, Poe.
I have not researched it, but I think that the crucial elements of a short story is characters in a situation.

My new novel with Amazon KDP is now available on pre order at Amazon.com

After reading several stories indicating trans surgery is possible for those eight and up, I tried to research the countries where it was possible and hit a blank wall. The search engines are either run by transphobia persons or the data is being shadowbanned-sandboxed.

I have had an incident occur recently where I was approached by an author (whose name will never be mentioned nor talked about by myself other than anonymously here in this one blog) on the site to grade a work for possible BigCloset Classic Retroing. I explained that I was hesitant to do so because some people cannot stand a critique of their own writing. I further stated that I had what I would call a standard for being a classic retro. I know I have never really told anyone what that standard was before and it is not an impossible task.

that I deleted Stick her Shock 2 this evening and it will be available on Amazon soon. I will add a link when it does. It will NOT be available to read on Kindle Unlimited.

hereabout as Storm Dennis chugs through.

I have another part of "Virtually Feminine" for you this week. My muse was kicking me to make some progress, so I finished this.
I broke a tooth today so I was in two minds about publishing it.

I can't see me having another chapter ready next week. Maybe a standalone or something next week?

My apologies to all of my readers who were looking forward to Twice Removed this week, but circumstances have made it so I can't post it this week. I've been unexpectedly busy the last few days and haven't really had the time to finish the chapter. Add to that the fact that I've been having trouble sleeping again the past 2 nights and well, I could push to finish it for today, but doing so would be a rush job and not up to my usual standards.

I know my latest serial is not as popular as my earlier ones, but there are about 500 readers per chapter. Today I drove an hour each way to the nearest Apple store to learn that the hard drive has died. I lost all my stories, but the only real loss was the next chapter, half written and two future stories.

I have developed a habit over the years of watching the news, well actually listening to it, while I am getting ready for work in the morning. As I am usually in a hotel room during the week, I generally select whatever local network station is easiest to find (excepting Fox of course - I would rather poke myself in the eye with a sharp stick!), but it does allow me to at least keep up on a little bit of what happened overnight in the world.

looks set to trouble the Uck for a while longer.

I've finished the artwork for Seasons of Bailey: Spring, for all those interested!

So now The Summer of Bailey and Seasons of Bailey all have original title artwork. There's a total of 15 images now spread throughout each chapter. Hope everyone enjoys, and let me know what your favorite is!

My favorite

It took longer than I expected and turned out longer than I expected too. Not everyone will be happy with how things turned out but it's what the characters dictated.

On Sunday night I will delete all of part 2 to prepare it for sale on Amazon.

In the not too distant future look for more from Rhonda Peters and the JFRV gang.

For those that read it, I"ve decided to remove the episodic endings of each chapter and to change them to normal chapters not episodes. I tried an experiment and it fell flat, so I'm sorry for those who were put off by it.

Just finished posting the artwork for Seasons of Bailey: Winter! Spring is on the way! Hope you all enjoy.

Seasons of Bailey: Winter - Part 1

Some might be a mix of other stories? but what is in larger emboldened font is certainly part of the story

Can't remember if set in UK or US

Protagonist is rich, (not sure if inherited of self-made), large property, in-laws live in cottage\house on border of property

Marriage breaks down when Protagonist 'Comes-Out' as TS, and is hounded out of town

Protagonist visits a shop regularly, might be a salon, the owner begins to have financial difficulties,

Greetings all,

Whelp, I will be on the road again in a few minutes (and it's snowing, blah) so just a quick note that I won't be able to post tomorrow. I should in theory have plenty of time to write in the evenings (unless I am dragged out to go eat) at least this week just can't post. (only have a work PC when travelling)

Anyway, everyone have a lovely weekend Ill see yall when I get back.

*Hugs*

The final part of Tammy's book "Moving On" has been published although there may be an epilogue to this book.

This does not mean that Tammy's story has finished, only this part! After the epilogue, however, there will be a break before new Tammy whilst I work on other projects.

Many thanks to Snowfall for all her help during the series.

Hey Bailey fans! Just finished adding title artwork to Seasons of Bailey: Autumn! Each part has a different image. Feel free to check it out, and drop me a message if you'd like. Let me know what you think. I'm working on Winter and Spring artwork right now. Eventually will be posting new chapters to All American Bailey as well! So stay tuned.

Last night, I had a dream full of failure and frustration. First I was in a large group being assigned with building something from Leggo and I struggled to find pieces, and my finished product looked sad compared to the others. Then we cleared off the leggo and we were supposed to learn a dance, but I couldnt see the feet of the instructor, so couldnt march her steps. And even when I had one on one instruction, I couldnt seem to explain what my problem was.

sighs ...

For the Linux users out there, I need some opinions/answers. I've got an older Windows machine that I am thinking of reviving with a Linux OS. I am also considering a Linux dual boot system, with Linux on a thumb drive while the original Windows OS on the HD. That would give me access to all the stories, photos, and what-not.

My question is which would be a better choice: Ubuntu or Mint? Either one can be installed on the HD or a thumb drive. I like the thumb drive option for it's portability. Any suggestions or recommendations?

I'm starting to worry I'm not going to have my trope story done in time. in fact I'm starting to worry I wont ever write again.

hugs appreciated

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.

Best regards,

I have no idea whatsoever what a VPN is and if I know enough to have one and if I should have one?

Everyone here should know that I am a Computer Dork.

Can someone give me a brief tutorial?

Thanks

Following on from my blog posts about Georgie Stone, it's sad to read that South Dakota House of Reps has passed a bill making it a criminal offence for doctors to treat transgender youths under the age of 16 with puberty blockers. Rep Fred Deutsch originally compared the treatment to medical experiments in Nazi concentration camps, although he's now backed off after widespread criticism. Many medical associations have expressed their dismay at the bill since untreated transgender youths are more at risk of suicide.

So, yeah.

Double good news day.

First, my little dog has bounced back a bit, so it seems like we will be spared making the hard choice for now.

Secondly, I went to the dietitian and I have lost more weight. I'm down to 308 lbs now, from a high of 338 lbs not too long ago.

so yay on both fronts.

After reading the latest Camelot Network Solutions I started backtracking to find out about a character I didn't remember. I discovered that #7 is not there. I tried all the usual things - forced reload, clearing the buffers, even tried on a seperate device, all with no luck. Still keeps saying a 0 word count.

My little dog's health is going downhill, and my mom is super stressing about how far we let things go before we say goodbye to the little fuzzball.

I'm doing what I can to help, but this is putting serious pressure on my spoon count.

Georgie Stone, 19-year-old transgender rights advocate and her mother Rebekah were both awarded a 'Medal of the Order of Australia' (OAM) in this year's Australia Day awards. Georgie was the youngest recipient this year. Identifying as female at the age of two, Georgie and her mother were instrumental in having the Australian law changed so that transgender children no longer have to apply to the Family Court to start receiving stage 1 hormone-blocking treatment. Georgie started to receive hers at the age of 10.

Finally, after a week of trying, Amazon have passed the Gaby - Girls, Girls, Girl? paperback for retail!

Hi everyone on BC. With Momma E's letter to Helen, i feel it was a great ending to one of my longest stories i have ever writen. Oh how i wanted soooo much to keep it going but i never found anything that wasn't already addressed in the narrative. I had fun with Helen and Jo but i felt it was time to move onto something else. I left it open because 1) i wanted Helen to reflect myself a little and i am still not out of the closet so i would have literally no idea of how to proceed if she ever does come out on paper.
