Lessons in forgiveness

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

One of the inspirations for my latest story, was the tragic death of Mary Karen Read. Here is an article from the Catholic Herald. It explains a great deal. My wife and I lost a son 4.5 years ago. Daniel lived only 14.5 hours. One of my stories was dedicated to Daniel and based on the experience my wife and I had with our lost son..

Wedding speculation...

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

Well I'm afraid to say that I have had to put that on hold as we can't agree who's going to be the bride. I'm not going into this in an argument situation and as it is, there are already going to be far too many bridesmaids.

As if the catering isn't going to be enough to organise, getting that many matching dresses is going to be murder.

So until we can resolve just who's going to be wearing the strides, it's going to have to be put back by at least a week.

Part IV!... Again.

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

The proofing/test reading of my story by my loyal subjects (I R UR QU33N LOL) shall be finished shortly, and as soon as I have all required feedback, may the posting begin! I'll try to have the next set of chapters up sooner, as well. After all, it's been, what, almost a month now since the last update? Yeah, that's a bit TOO long for my tastes, so I'll try to make more expedient postage in the future.

Thanks for the support, guys n' gals!

New vistas?

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

Everyone's on edge at the Nick B household (both of us. The cat doesn't seem to understand or care) today after I got news of a possible new job in the same neck of the woods as Kristina LS.

That'd be weird since she lives half a world away from me - literally.

This means a move to Australia from little ol' England. The language won't change, but the lifestyle sure as hell will.

Will I be able to keep writing? God I hope so.

I certainly won't give up with BC since you're all such a nice bunch here and I think that I would definitely want something familiar nearby.

Toxic Mice

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

Well, I hadn't seen my friends and former roommates, Griff and Danny since November so when we got together yesterday, we yakked for about 5 hours and talked about everything.

Then I went home and went to bed a bit early.

I had a very strange dream, a science fictiony one.

In it, Griff was the leader of the household troops of the king of some almost-medieval country and I was his science advisor because the science was all more than up to date.

The great powers had passed our little kingdom by and we had become sort of like England was during the Cold War.

Bobby's Rainy Day Adventure - Chapter XII

While getting ready to meet with two girls from school who've been invited to Cori's sleep-over, Bobby gets a call from the hospital, talk to her mom, and learns a bit about both her parents as well as her part in their divorce. Worried about being accepted, Bobby braces herself to meet Rhianna and Tess, and discovers what kinds of friends they can be.

Fair warning

Since I started posting Leeway, I've somehow managed to get a new installment ready consistently each Saturday morning. I'm afraid that's going to change going forward. I've come to the end of the chapters I had already written when I started, and in spite of my best intentions I've only been able to find time to edit and polish each installment in time to post it, not to write any significant new material.

I've got lots to do. But I'm going to go get in the car with my laptop and go for a ride. I may stop somewhere and get online to see that things are okay. I may do some writing. I may drive to the coast or up to the mountains or out to the desert. I may be back before midnight. I will be here tomorrow most of the day. Be good to each other, everyone and see you when I get back.

Hugs,

The BC server in Los Angeles is having problems with its power supply. This may cause the site to go up and down unpredictably for an hour or so until they get it fixed. It was down for three hours before I woke up and called the techs. Sorry about that.

Out of the Mud

This is a very short story I'd written a while ago that just started with the image of two odd figures climbing out of a mud hole. I began theorizing what they would be doing there and where they were going next. The following story is the result of that bit of daydreaming. :)

New to Big Closet

Forums: 

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

I'm not new to TG fiction writing. At Fictionmania I have 25 stories published. All under my writing handle Danielle J. It was shalimar who talked me into posting my stories here.

Earlier this week, I published my my most recent story. Altered Fates- Only the Strong can forgive. This story was a labor of love for me.

Suspicions about Paris

Not to be snippy or anything. Lord knows that life is hard enough.

I have a few suspicions about what the medical issue is about why Paris got out of Jail. Notice how evasive the Sheriff was about the specifics. I don't have any animosity toward the child, (yes child). If I was in her position, I'd be as outrageous as her perhaps. Just letting a little exhibitionistic bent show here.

As I am, dresses as a Muslima, I don't get to show off or anything, boo hoo. giggle

Ultimatum

Hi all I posted a story this morning named "Ultimatum" that I later took down. I believe that it needed more context to make it understandable. I am working on a companion piece that I more than likely will use Ultimatum as the preface for. Sorry to have confused anyone!
Hugs for all who wants them!

Into Tales Untold

Well, there were these two strange fellows, see; and they...

I always have trouble with synopses - self-promotion makes me a bit uncomfortable, I guess. Also, just because I wrote something, doesn't really mean I can talk about it. So just go read it, and see for yourself. Erin says it is too long, and I can't disagree, but it's only 22,499 words. OK, that is kind of long, but still it can't hurt - much.

I will warn you that, although this is a fantasy site, this is not really a fantasy. It is, however, very much about fantasies. (And that includes some of my own, like the one where I'm a writer.)

I owe all the gratitude I can express, and more, to Kristina L.S. for multiple beta-reads, much excellent advice (not all heeded, but that's my fault.), and a great deal of encouragement (and handholding.); and to Amelia R, who proofread this on too short notice. (My list of credits may grow, but the blame remains all mine.)

Part IV of Echoes will be up soon, following a quick re-re-re-readthrough and a few minor changes to try and make it seem a bit less whiny. With any luck, I'll have it up by Wednesday or Friday!

If anybody wants to read through it and maybe give me ideas on what to change, I always appreciate offers of help, especially from those who have an interest in the story. Thanks!

What's the difference between Chapter Numbers and Outline "Weight"

Forums: 

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Quickly put, the weight of an entry in BC's outlining should be the magnitude of the chapter number.

Chapters 1-9 -- weight=0
Chapters 10-99 -- weight =1
Chapters 100-999 -- weight = 2

This gets winkled with if chapter numbers are spelled out or done in Roman numerals but the reason to do it this way is sothe outliner pages will alphabetize the titles correcctly. All the titles with lowest weight are done first, then next higher weight, etc.

Multi-book works like Me and Sam get more complex. :)

Hugs,
Erin

As I move toward publishing my work again.

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

Hello there:

I published a few stories on storysite and then quit writing. The idea of going back to it appeals to me and by now, after years of practice, I may be able to publish something decent.

The story that is almost ready is staged in an Islamic society, and deals with forced transformation along with advanced medical proceedures.

Most of my interest leans toward Sci Fi, Transgendered, and romanticisim. XXX does not appeal to me much.

Please wish me luck.

This is the follow-on from Kristina L S's story that no-one wanted to finish where it was. I just hope I've done it justice. Oh and sorry for the typo KRISTINA!

For those of you who didn't read the first part, I suggest you do that before copping a load of this one. Anyway, Bill has now to attend the dinner at the posh restaurant...


Thanks to Kris for okaying this and giving me the chance, oh, and the proofreading/embellishments!

This is another of those fictional stories and no chance was this real.

corny joke

As Erin has asked for more humour in the blogs I've resurrected an old golfing joke which I hope you haven't seen before and that you'll enjoy. Perhaps, I should state at the beginning that I don't play golf so forgive any technical errors.

Golf Joke.

A man and his wife were playing a round of golf together. It was also their fifteenth wedding anniversary and they were planning a quiet celebratory dinner that evening, just the two of them.

About half way around the course the man puts down his club and says to his wife, "It's our anniversary today and I love you dearly."

A Religious Reason FOR Transitioning

This past Saturday in synagogues the portion of Numbers called Naso was read. Part of this portion of the Torah includes the blessings that The Kohain gave to the people in the wilderness of Siani and is used today for a general blessing. That includes, "May the L_rd grant you shalom(peace)." Shalom is not only the lack of war. It also includes, but not limited to, peace with one's self. Those of us that are truly transgendered have an inner conflict of the man vs the woman within ourselves.

Two Prawns

Far away in the tropical waters of the Caribbean, two prawns were swimming around in the sea, one called Justin and the other called Christian. The prawns were constantly being harassed and threatened by sharks that inhabited the area.

Finally one day Justin said to Christian, "I'm fed up with being a prawn; I wish I was a shark, and then I wouldn't have any worries about being eaten."
