Well I have posted a little bit about some of my dorm experiences. I know it has been a while since I posted. This is a very short post, but I may add more to it if inspired. A lot has happened in the past two months. At the end of August, I had to live out of my car for about a week or two. That is an experience I would like not to repeat. I moved into a house that I am renting and getting used to that. As to not writing, my stories' characters have been silent in telling me where they want to go.

I just wanted to thank all my readers for their response to my latest effort, St. George and the Dragon. I was concerned that the reception might be considerably less positive than it was. Those of you who have been reading it know that the theme is not tightly tied to the TG experience; however, many of the trials one of the characters goes through are directly due to the homophobic beliefs of the people in the circle where she lives.

I got up this morning had a stretch and opened the curtains and smiled.

Not a bad view and I didn't need Photoshop. The mist on the ground over the fields was lovely.

Hugs
Sue

Channel four is airing a documentary series as from the 8th November. "My Transexual Summer."

It portrays four MtF's and two FtM's undergoing SRS together.

Despite the dubious title judging by the trailers the subject will be handled sensitively and candidly. (I hope so anyway.)

Sorry to say, those outside the UK may not have access.

Though I haven't lived in San Jose since 2010, I still read the online version of the paper. I did live there or work within the range of the printed paper from 1973 - 2010, and have many friends living there, so I still identify with the city. Besides, I like their online comics!

This article,

about the murder of a transgendered woman does give her name as James (Lucie) Parkin.

But, it states that her transgendered status was not the cause of the murder, and most importantly,

ALL OF THE PRONOUNS USED FOR HER ARE FEMALE.

And it seems that Bobby will be a Girl Scout.

Well, I've noticed a slowdown in my writing. I hope its just a temporary thing.

Once you have voted in the current contest is there a way to remove the post at the top of the screen so it no longer shows?

This is a last ditched effort to save my site from being lost forever. I would assume that if you clicked the link to open this message, you would know who I am (Dawn Hamilton) or on this site as (Rountree Dawn) and what my site was (transgender tales from Roundtree Bay)

well, my little experiment with tampons is over. While the feeling was slightly uncomfortable, it wasnt horrible. Assuming it felt at all like what a g-girl feels like once a month, I have more appreciation for what they go through ...

mostly, for me this was mostly about being able to be stimulated there without feeling "dirty." In doing this, I took a little more ownership of my body today, and that's a good thing

take advantage of even more savings at Lulu!

This is an apology to all those who commented on my story Alone. Normally, I try to give everyone a PM or a comment in reply. However right now, real life is being a real bear with coming down with a cold, and the usual bumps in the road of bad fortune. Like all authors I regard each one like they were gold, but right now I'm really out of it.
Big Hugs to everyone and I promise to get to those thank yous when I can.

All together now: awwwwwwwwwwwwww!And from Cathy's neck of the woods.

I thought I would share this for the benefit of those contemplating getting SRS. Hopefully you will be wiser because of what I am going to share.

Mine was done in Bankok, Thailand by Dr Kamon on August 15, 2006.

From the beginning Dialation of the Faux Vagina was problematic. The actual surgery was extremely simple and I had an almost pain free recovery. During post op Dilations of three times a day, I managed to achieve 1 1/4 inch diameter and 4 1/2 inch depth. When I left, I felt well but weak.

NaMoWriMo is this next month. (I hope I have that right)

I have never particiapated in it, but I believe this year I will give it a try. 3 years ago I had a good writing spell during Nov. and ended up writing 35,000 words. So I hope with a little bit of planning I can make the 50,000 word goal.

I've finished editing the first 37 chapters of HaP and am working on a detailed outline for the next 10+ chapters. I also have Princess and the Jock to re-write since the first few chapters were disasterous with errors. I could also work on Rock,Paper,Scissors.

I write for the joy of meeting new people–my characters–and learning what happens to them. I'm very interested in the discovery of a person's true nature and sexual identity, and exploring different genres and structure. If I may offer some advice: Try not to got caught up in medical or scientific details. While I try to be accurate, it's not this medical procedure or that genetic revelation that matters–it's the character's journey that is most important.
