A few days ago, someone asked about a story on the TG Fiction Yahoo group and it started me thinking but not coming up with an answer. Someone there mentioned Brandy Dewinter's "Only for You", which is a very good story but not the one I was thinking of to answer the query.

We live in a 200 year old stone cottage (they're very common round here) and the walls are really rubble-filled double piles of stones. One disadvantage, amongst many, is that they provide spacious accommodation for small rodents from time to time. We don't usually have a problem in warmer weather; mice infestation is normally a Winter problem and relatively minor. Not so right now.

This has raised it's head again in my 'never-ending' tale of life and dormice. It's done so because it is a constant problem. My own transition was quite public and was known to hundreds if not thousands of people locally. I've also been 'outted' in the press two or three times, including mention on local TV and radio. So short of sending out six billion letters notifying everyone on the planet, it meant there'd be some who didn't know.

Some years ago, I came up with what I call My Three Rules of Behavior.

BBC Radio 4 Today programme, included a piece on a project to monitor and reintroduce dormice on the Isle Of Wight, which isn't far from Portsmouth. In one wood alone they have 400 nesting boxes for dormice.

I'm delighted that my story is reasonably close to real life, and even more so to hera that in areas where they are being monitored, the rate of decline seems to be decreasing. Go for it Spike!

Angharad.

I just thought I'd give those who care a little warning this time that part 5 of Pass On What You Have Learned will probably be delayed.

I am working on an idea for a new story I intend on posting here, but, yeah theres a but, I think this would really work good in first person POV. But there are several characters that I would like to go into to that are quite important for the flow of the story.
So I am thinking of entering the main characters POV and then changing POV to another to show the scene from another

Is that Possible, WOuld that be too jaring? Has that ever been done before for a published noval

I've posted a snippet of my latest project, Forged In Fire, at my TGLibrary site. This is a military sci fi story very heavily influenced by the works of David Weber, so if you like that kind of thing please give it a peek. Be aware that this genre includes violence, explosions and even harsh language!

Oh, and this is a totally raw draft, so please, there is no need to point out the typos. I will get to the proofing in time, but right now I'm primarily interested in overall impressions. On my site you can also find some background material about the story setting.
