Hi again

The first Talmuld Torah is "Time," considering it is "Daylight Savings Day" in the U S. It is being discussed in the Forum (see top of "Home Page")

I had sort of noticed this phenomenon in that my most recently posted story had only received a fraction of the hits which I would have normally expected, but I shrugged my shoulders and put it down to the fact that I had just not connected with the audience or I had a bad authorial day when I wrote it.

Then another author bemoaned the same effect on her latest posting and wondered if it was to do with the recent up-grade. So..I went investigating, a la Nancy Drew or Susie and Jeffrey, but more cerebrally and without the mayhem.

Today is 365 days since I officially became Holly Happy hart.
But with leap year, it will be tomorrow.
And I've been using that name here for 4 years and 31 weeks.

Happy birthday to me happy birthday to me, closer to 6 feet under at 23 lol huggles everyone :) It be my birthday today, I am 23!!! i hope u all have a great day too, cause me bones r cracking which is funny, see im getting older and in elven years im 137 lol

This is a repost from a little over a week ago to make sure that everyone got a chance to see it.

Due to the number of inquiries I've been getting as of late...

A number of people have been asking about writing characters that have already been chosen. Sadly, I have to tell them that those particular ones are unavailable at this time, because other people have chosen them.

There are a number of authors/potential authors that have chosen characters and after a number of months, and in some cases over a year, have posted nothing.

You know, not that long ago, I would be moaning over my status as being somewhere between male and female. But I seem to have found a kind of peace about where I am right now. Good thing, since this is the level that I will probably be stuck at for the rest of my natural, since surgery is out of my reach.

Sure, it would be nice to be able to go to the pool without being a freak, but that's life.

I'm Dorothy, and I dont need no stinking surgery to know that.

I wanted to introduce myself with a blog. My name is Aoife (ee-fuh), or at the very least it is here, lol, I've been a long time lurker, only recently deciding to come out of hiding and finally connect with you awesome people. Like most of you I am always having these creative muses that take over my mind from time to time, and try as I might, they eventually build up and explode out of my mind like a volcano.

...that I finished the first edit of The Amulet of Adventure. I now have no other story hanging over my head for a while. I only have school and other stories hanging over my heads for now. This means I can catch up on 300 Rains (since I found my notes as well) and other stories. It should be fun.

Will anybody give me my number 5000 Kudos so I can relax and sleep at night? In return I will try to write a story about your favorite subject.

Hi Everybody,
     I know i posted this before, but it's been a few months, and I felt it time to re-post this note.

Some of you may know, but other's probably don't, that I've been making book covers for not only my own, but other people's stories.

I make these using Stock Art purchased or found freely (royalty free archives) off the internet.

What Lies Beyond Twilight was done a while back, and is a little cluttered, but has nice pop/visual and I decided it needed showing.

When I was in Thailand to get my body remodeled, there was a person there who was sort of the coordinator. She was TG,post op, Canadian, and had been a teacher. She drank a lot, a lot! Her job was to insure that we got to the hospital and then to the clinic afterward for thrice daily dilation, and generally see to our welfare. For her it was all about the bars, and male conversations. I could see she was deeply troubled and felt sorry for her, though she resisted any effort to help her to a less destructive life style.

Ok, I've mentioned in a comment or two that I've done a fair bit of thinking about characters that change genders in "different" ways. "Hermaphrodites", cycling genders, etc.

My company finally left after two weeks, though I am glad to have my house to myself again I really miss them. I suppose I didn't realize how much I needed to let my secret out in "the real" world. It was so odd to open up and to be me. I must say that I was more comfortable around Tiffany than her husband Marcos. I think that may be because I've been hurt by men often in my life (when it comes to physical/sexual abuse). But I will give this for Marcos, he was accepting and told me that he and his wife loved me and wanted me to be happy.

As I had said before, my latest story has turned into something a lot more autobiographical than I had originally intended. So that creates a problem. How the heck am I going to get this poor girl out of this mess? And will it be at all interesting to anybody but me?

When I saw the stats on the most recent chapter I began to wonder if I had done something wrong with the story so I asked a few people for their opinions, the feedback I got was very useful and enlightening.

Dear friends,

Tomorrow night starts the Jewish Holiday of Purim. My best wishes to all who celebrate it. Eat lots of Hamantaschen, and drink lots of L'Chaims.
And may the King stretch out his scepter and grant your wish.

P.S. Pardon the plug for my story. :-).
