To err is human, to really foul up requires a human with access to a computer!

For all my many wonderful fans!

Coff Koff! Ack fooey! Hard to get the taste of Bullshit outa my mouth...

I haven't forgotten Wild Magic 45, but I was inspired to write something different last week, and I just couldn't stop! I wrote a piece for EOF's Dark Realms Universe before it closed, and I'm just waiting for approval. I gotta tell you Eof, Maggie and Donjo made some incredibly helpful suggestions and ctiticisms. I think the story is much better (Even without the Laser-eyed Astro Dragon...). Just Kidding.

There are two legal maters that I am dealing with right now; one is a case against me and one is a case against people who stole from me. I got updates on both and figured I would share them. As you can gather, with all the stress I am under, I really haven't had the mental energy to continue writing and I apologize for that. I will continue the cure as soon as possible, but I wouldn't be able to tell you when.

This is to let everyone know why "...never a Bride" has not had another chapter yet. Mostly it's because I haven't written it yet, but let me continue.

My wife and I love video games. She is a big gamer from way back, and I've just spent way too much time playing.

That being said, the works of BioWare seem to have fit a perfect nitch for us, in that it allows me the FPS light that I really enjoy (the Uncharted series is one of my favories) and gives her the ability to "pick the choices" which she loves as well.

Well, every once in a while when writing a story, I write myself into a corner, and dont know how to get out. The last "Understanding Rachel" is a good example. I wanted to show why Rachel needs Tanya as much as Tanya needs Rachel, but in the process I didnt leave Tels a lot to work with in terms of saving them both. So she decided to lob the ball back into my court instead of the smash I was expecting, and now I'm running toward the net trying to save the point. Now its up to me to see if I can salvage this storyline, if its possible, and if anybody still cares about it.

Ah, well.

I received some disturbing news this morning and would appreciate it if you could take a moment and turn your thoughts towards Douglas R. Howe and send healing energy, white light and prayers his way? we aren't positive and are awaiting tests but he needs your strength against possible lung cancer... thank you all

Earlier today I got notification from the editor who I've been working with (partially successfully)to edit my story 'Down the Rabbit Hole' that she no longer wanted to be the editor because we reached an impasse-she didn't understand the universe I was writing for and was saying stuff I had written was inane. Sadly, that kind of editor is the kind I need. Also what is sad is that after over 2 months we were still editing part 1 of a 5 part story. For those waiting for the next part, I have it written (and up thru the end of that story) but they are in a 'rough draft' kind of phase.

In my latest chapter of Covered Bridges... LoneWolf put in a comment about the story with a totally wonderful YouTube link that really in my opinion adds to the story and lends such a feel.

Thank you once more LoneWolf:)
Please check it out it's a pretty cool thing.

I got a very nice card from my son today, in addition to the nice ecard he picked out,

his personal note to me was:

Happy Father's Day to the best of the best! I hope Kristy has a wonderul day too.

Love, ...

According to my wife, FanFicWriter, he wrote it himself (with her assistance on spelling and grammer lol)

A very nice treat for today.

Here is wishing to all of you out there that are Father's, a very happy Father's Day to you as well.

Hugs,

Kristy

My Familiar & best Friend ShadowFax had to be put to sleep Yesterday.I have had her since she was a Kitten & I was 14 yr's old at the time & I am now 25 yr's old.So u can tell how heart broken I am right now.She was there when one of my ex-boyfriend beat the shit out of me when he found out the real reason why I wouldn't put out to him when I turn 17 yr's old.She will be missed.Rest In Peace My Friend!

The weirdest thing happened and it might be one for the record books.

I was having some stomach discomfort the last few days and was feeling really sick. Normally I don't go to the doctor's office but things were getting really bad and I decided I better get checked up before I keel over and die.

After a few test I discovered that I was seven months pregnant, and here I was thinking that I was just getting fatter. I don't know how it happened... I mean, I have a penis and everything still.

It's June 16th and we're a bit in the hole. We didn't make the subscription goal for last moth and this month is half over. I know not everyone can do so, but if you can, please, send us a few bucks via the Hatbox Membership request box on the side bar. It really does take about $40 bucks a day to keep this place open.

Thanks and hugs,

Well, on Mother's day I talked a bit about how that day and Father's day can suck for people who dont fit the gender stereotype, but today, with Father's day being tomorrow, I wanted to talk a little about some of the challenges I have being one.

First, you have to understand that I was totally not prepared for parenthood, to but it mildly. This was not just because of my gender issues, or my overall mental health, both of which have played a part in my struggle to be a good parent, but because I had no role model in my own life to draw on in terms of what a good dad looked like.

I was shown an interesting article from The Oatmeal, for those who don't know, the oatmeal is written and drawn by Matt Inman and he makes cartoons, some really crude and crass, but most of them funny. Well People take these and post them all over like with the lol cat pages. Last year, Mr. Inman contected a website, Funnyjunk and asked them to remove his copyrighted material. http://theoatmeal.com/blog/funnyjunk they also have stuff from Calvin and Hobbes, The Farside and other comics from the internet.

Some people here know my background and many people probably don't. Because it is a matter of public record, I have no problem divulging information. Due to circumstances out of my control, I was arrested back in 2003 and in order to escape 650 years of prison I took a plea deal. Part of that deal requires me to register as a sex offender (which makes my life oh so joyful).

Anyway. I did my time, I finished probation, have been gainfully employed, own a house, have 2 cars, am owned by 2 cats and I thought life would just continue on this way until I died.
