This is an effort to express the frustration I feel at so many authors who don't check their spelling or grammar. I can tell that many are using spellcheckers but are relying on them totally. I see such things as 'choirs' for 'chores' -- just the latest example!

My heat came on earlier, woke me up. "What's that sound?" The dog didn't know.

Five days ago, daytime temps here were above 110F (43C), last night, temps got below 50F (10C). I've actually seen swings that big in a single day but it isn't common.

Owing to simple logistics, I can't promise to be able to have time to write Bike while helping with the Gabycon, so I'm warning/apologising in advance.

I am half way through a new Gaby short story, for the event which I expect will be posted here eventually. As well as this, scribbling Bike and running about, working full time, having my house knocked about and being a paw-maiden to two cats - I have plenty of time.

Angharad.

Writing is so much harder than I want it to be.

It's in plain desperation I throw in every new part here, and when done, I find myself starting to rewrite it, as it's baad.. Bad bad bad. And it's not at all what I want it to be, it should be so much better.

So here I am, the whole night off to write, and I'm sitting here staring at the screen. It's not that I don't have ideas, I have a whole bunch of notes right here. I even have two thousands words written so far of my new story. And yet...I can't seem to get myself into the mood to write. Even worse, I look at what I have so far and it doesn't look very good to me.

I guess I'm paying for pushing myself to write so much last week, because now I'm in 'hyper critical' mode. Since a lot of you are also authors, I'm sure you know what I'm talking about!

Hello again BC fans,

I'm not going to say much here. Some questions will get answered in this chapter. But new ones will come to your mind. I will say this, it is a teaching chapter. Some of this is what I learned while growing up, going to school and being involved in Boy Scouts.

Have a great week everyone. It is time for the trumpets to be heard. So, Hag Yom Teruah to all of our TG Jewish friends. It is not only for them, but for the rest of the world as well.

Wow!

I am so pleased with the responses you gave me in my last blog that I now know what I'm going to write and that what I have already written fits.

What I would now like to ask is whether I can use what you have given me verbatim as quotes?

I will not use your names, unless you expressly want me to, they will just be used as personal opinions of those who have or are transitioning - or not as the case may be.

Hi, my name is Tanya. Tanyalynn was my name a long time ago on Storysite, and the 51- well, a girl never reveals her age. I am a m2f ts, who has felt like I am in the wrong body, but with some truly heavy issues. I do write sometimes as an outlet, a chance to fantasize about how my life might have gone, although I did a couple of more action oriented stories, a mystery, and a superhero story on Storysite. I can also be influenced by movies (see "The Girl" on Storysite, inspired by the Bruce Willis movie "The Kid"). I think that was my favorite story.

Well i have been a lurker here for a while - At least Since the First Episode of Angharad's Epic Easy as Falling of a Bike

Well i have come to a decision, think its about time to post a story idea going on in my head.
Well this story would involve a Popular Anime/Collectable Card Game Yu-Gi-Oh, but not set in the actual Universe of the game, but where in our future where the card game has become real as the anime.

The Problem is that do i start it in the future where the hero/ine is there already. Or have it where the main hero/ine Come from the present and end up in this future

Ha! I knew that would bring the geeks in! Sorry, though. This isn't about computer failure, it's about societal failure.

There's a wonderful discussion going on now in Nick B.'s blog on what it means to be a transsexual. Nick's goal is to publish an article on the 'net that will help dispel ignorance and help promote acceptance.

Hi,

It's me again.

Having seen what a fantastic response you all gave me for my last blog (which is here if you didn't catch it) and realising that it's just the tip of the iceberg, I wanted to expand upon what I'd written for my new website.

There was a time I suspected I might have Asperger's Syndrome. Then I read a book on it and realized I didn't. Such fun! (What I think I do have is hypochondria.)

Anyway, I found this test. I wasn't looking for it. In fact I could have used this around 3 years ago. It would have saved me reading that stupid book. But, I'm very good at finding things I wasn't looking for. Or at least not recently.

I was listening to Radio 5 live tonight here in the UK, on the way home from work.

They were talking about mixed metaphors and I had a chortle at some of the ones people could remember.

Here are a few of my favourites:

From now on, I’m watching everything you do with a fine-tuned comb.

A leopard can't change his stripes.

Now I'm going to have to add a few to some of my stories, but not sure how to do it without getting my knickers in a spin.

Hugs

Surfing today I ran across these quotes from various Supervillians. Thought they might prove inspirational to all those doing Retcon. :)

Hooray!
Arm out of sling for whole day and seemingly no ill effects. (Claviculee, Claviculaa.)
Bloody nuisance though. The lump in my shoulder where the broken ends overlap snags my bra strap. Gonna have to explain this to the orthopedic consultant. (I'll probably have to take a bra into his clinic to demonstrate.)
When I met him five weeks ago he seemed to be a somewhat stuffy and cencorious Pakistani. He gave my breasts a very hard stare.
This could be interesting and fun cos these days I'm an 'IN YOU FACE PARTIALLY TRANSEXUAL TRANNY'
