so this morning, I pulled out my clothes and put them on my bed, and put on my socks.

A moment later, I am looking at the pile of clothes, trying to find my socks, apparently totally forgetting I had them on.

Eventually, I looked down at my feet, and realized I was wearing them.

Sometimes, my brain worries me ...

Frankly, I have had trouble, and hurtfully so with seeing the point of view that the LGBT set has.

Just now, 11/1/2025 in the evening, I was watching the episode of itchy boots, on You tube where she is crawling down the beach in an effort to rescue seal with nets they had picked up in the Ocean. I forget which Ocean. ----Namibia----

Suddenly, looking at her face and the way she interacts with the men around her.

The way she interacts with men... She is absolutely attracted to men...

Now I have to face my own feelings at times...

RED IN THE FACE

I have been getting a little braver with each time I venture out as Leeanna. My angel Mike, gently encourages me , but doesn't push.
A few weeks back we went to visit several old churches. We were unlucky. On the first day all 3 were either shut of the road was closed.
The next day we went to visit Framlingham castle in Suffolk.

I think my mojo is back, I've managed to crank out nearly 4000 words in about sixteen hours, and it's the first new UG story for a few years! This will form a part of UG5 when that's finished (it does exist) but that will have to follow the Tammy story that's in progress. Oh, and I want to do another Joannie Jet story.

I'm going to blame that mojo for stealing all my time!

Lookin for a story here...

A Powerful MALE Warrior is turned into a weak girl, not a sissy through dastardly trickery by ????

I think that she is cast out and flees to a distant land.

SHE later turns the tables on her detractor and comes home....

The rest is to fuzzy to remember.

Can someone help the girl ???

Should be live on Kindle at any moment!

Following a comment on my story by Emma, I really liked how she had expressed the dichotomy of dysphoria and have incorporated it into my story as the penultimate paragraph. I know that many of you read and react to the comments, but others, sometimes including myself, pick and choose what to read. However i think that her comment is so insightful that I should encourage more to see and appreciate it.

is now available on Patreon!

you see it in nature where differences are eloquently displayed jane brown had no gender or sex only those who can get over themselves are her friends and when she and harold dick got married the children they had were displaying the same traits it oh she married a man named john dick now I ask the question if there is no capitol at the beginning and no punctuation at the end how can it be a sentence this is a prank to see if i can toy with you gwen brown had fun

For the last two years I have been slowly writing SO2. I am so close to the planned finish I can smell it. Teek has been helping with proofreading, and giving story ideas. She has even written a whole chapter. I am hoping that I will be done by the first week of November.

As of right now S02 is 38+ chapters long with 4 related canon stories following a side character fully written. There is one non-canon story [call it fan fiction but written by me] featuring Lily that I am on the fence on posting.

I know what it's like to become engrossed in a story and then the author abruptly stops it. It's really annoying, and I'm sorry that all of my stories do that. I have PTSD, anxiety, depression and ADHD, so I'm all over the place writing and in real life.

I finally got a psychiatrist that's helping me with my ADHD. I'm starting on Ritalin next month. I'm going to be closely monitored, but I hope it works. She didn't want to put me on a stimulant, because I have a heart condition that causes a double heartbeat, but all of the non-stimulants interact with my medication.

I had my computer crash a while ago and lost a good deal of what I had been working on, I've managed to recover most of it, but for some reason I just can't get back into the swing of it. It is time to stop pretending I can write and move on. Thank you everyone, your friendship and stories got me through a very difficult time in my life, I don't know where I would have been without you. I'll still be around from time to time to read a story or two, but I think my writing days are through. Love you all.

This is for Jill and the story she wrote about a soccer player who went on to become the best football kicker.

Brandon Aubrey, who went to school at Notre Dame, didn’t initially play football at all. He was a soccer standout for the Fighting Irish before trying his hand at the pro level with Toronto FC. He also played for Bethlehem Steel FC of the United Soccer League. So far he has made fifteen out of fifteen attempts at filed goals.

Hugs Jill, your story is more true to life than most suspect.

always seems to fall on Madeline!
Well it sometimes feels like that at any rate.

or bap or breadcake!

slowly but surely!

New Halloween story up from me. Its a continuation of two of my previous stories, Trick and Treated and Pomeggedon.
All three of them are in their own semi-universe, I've grouped them together under a subtitle called So Magic Is A Thing?.

Welp, after 5 and a half years, I have finally tested positive for Covid. In epic fashion- the 'test' line popped up immediately on the test when I dropped the liquid in. Like, five seconds tops. Between this and other health issues... yeah, my already-crap uploading schedule just got another hit.

Yep, the diagnosis is in, the days of my malaise are numbered!

And although I know my spouse will never see this post, I simply wanted everyone to know how much she has meant to me over the past several decades. Tomorrow will be our 40th anniversary, which is probably about 39 years longer than I expected our marriage to last, lol.

I'm changing my handle here to separate my previous work from what I'm going to be doing with a new name. I'll be experimenting with AI assisted fiction writing. I'm going to have a program help me with outlining and the inventory of characters and places. AI will keep an eye on continuity for me and help with spelling and grammar.

This is not going to be stories written by AI. I will be writing detailed chapter summaries, the AI will produce prose, then I will do an intense job of editing and rewriting so the end result will be mostly me.

I was at my local library looking for more reading material, and came across a graphic novel called "love and pom poms" its about 2 girls in high school. they once had been close, but drifted apart as the one became more of a computer nerd while the other joined the cheerleader squad.

The last I heard from her she was working on a new book in her Cheerleader series, but it has been quite a while since she published anything. I am more than a little concerned about her. Too many authors have simply disappeared over the past few years.

Too many simply slip away, never to be heard from again. Too much talent is lost to the world when it happens, and those of us left behind can only wonder why, only wonder what happened.

For Gaby fans!

My spouse is a huge NY Yankees fan, which can be veeeeeery annoying, lol. Especially since our local cable tv provider carries the YES Network (Yankee Entertainment System), which means that EVERY SINGLE YANKEE GAME FOR THE ENTIRE SEASON IS ON TV, and she has to watch all of them.

Now I have nothing against sports in general, or baseball specifically - but it is very annoying when for basically half of the year she has to watch a baseball game every day! Especially since I am a Dodger fan, and she is watching the damned Yankees!

to end September and welcome October!

thanks to everyone who already viewed this. I had written an article but all the text got scrubbed somehow ?!?!?

So I'll give you a summary.

Its not easy to own up to your own failures, but if this silly blog is going to mean anything, I have to be willing to talk about my screw-ups.

See, this month has been one of my worst for staying within a budget.

The only good news is I think I understand what happened.

I was in manic mode a lot this month, and as a result bought stuff to essentially self-medicate.

Now, normally, you'd associate self medication with being depressed, but my manic state doesn't just result in basically being high, it amps whatever I am feeling to the max and beyond.

Sales of ebooks are WAY down, we're going to be very short this month..

This site is pretty much a full-time occupation of 3+ people. As such, we depend a great deal on contributions from our community to meet the expenses of the site and things like internet access for each of us.

If you can help, please do. It's greatly appreciated.

Hugs,
Erin

I discovered half a story on my hard disk of Principal Boy, I don't know why I didn't finish it. I have done so this week, I also include an episode of the Recoverer and Bike. I was just in a mood to write this week, next week I may not, so enjoy it while it lasts. Having problems with my fridge-freezer which alternately freezing stuff in the fridge and then defrosting it. So far I have lost at least £10 worth of food, meat as well as green stuff. I have bought another one but it doesn't come until Wednesday.

Well, I'm back. Like a bad penny, I suppose. :-D

I'm a CNA -- Certified Nurse's Assistant, and I care for two people in my own home, which means, I don't get time off. The only time I'm off duty is when my clients go to bed, or I do, and even then, I'm not really off duty. So the beginning of this year I reached total burn out. In early April, I took a week away, just me and my Emotional Support Dog, Mya, in a motel.

Let me start off saying this is not a complaint, just curiosity.

I really enjoy QUEEN'S GAMBIT by Maeryn! However there is one area that tweaks my sensibility. It is VERY minor but I thought to question it and in no way means an insult or complaint. I simply want to know if this is an "across the pond" difference.

Namely using head movement to denote YES or NO.

In my American experience, I learned that to shake one's head means moving it side to side to denote NO. To denote YES, one nods their head.

otherwise known as leaving GOC!

I have been re-reading a group of my favorite stories recently, including Clara’s works on Fictionmania.

Last night, when I finished part five of “Kiss Me Bianca”, closed it, and went to open part six, I suddenly received an error message, which read as follows:

429 Too Many Requests
If you're a human being, try again tomorrow
If you're a bot, go to Hell and stay there!

I am still not able to access anything beyond the entry page at Fictionmania. Anyone else having this issue?

Any suggestions on how to deal with this? Or why I am getting it?

I have recently discovered André Rieu and his concert extravaganzas. The music is superb, but the women in the orchestra most definitely do not go for the traditional black and white costuming. I just wish I had the body to pull off any one of those dresses.

As I may not get a chance tomorrow

We made it back yesterday about 1 pm. We're both pooped and I did something to my left knee, but 10.5 hours sleep did a lot to restore me. :)

I posted Pete 74 on Patreon and Pete 73 right here on BC, please read them and comment, it really makes my day.

Speaking of which, comments on our books on Kindle and other platforms, comments there are like money in the bank. Each comment increases the visibility of the book on the platforms and good comments work double! :)

well i guess it couldn't last!

To everything – Kern, Kern, Kern
There is a season - Kern, Kern, Kern
And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace
A time to refrain from embracing

To everything – Kern, Kern, Kern
There is a season - Kern, Kern, Kern
And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time to build up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones
A time to gather stones together

I’ve just finished a major revamp of my website, and I’m excited to finally share the updated version:

https://danielawolfe.com/

The new site is cleaner, more organized, and better aligned with where I’m heading as a writer. It’s now the central hub for my work, my projects, and updates going forward.

Well, Melanie and I will be taking a few days off, but we will have our laptops with us, so you probably won't notice we're not at home. We expect to be back by midday on Wednesday, the 17th.

Have fun and be nice to one another,
Love and hugs.
Erin and Melanie

for decades after my eventful childhood, I suffered from night terrors.

Apparently I had managed to bury my memories deep enough they could only come out when I was asleep.

After I started therapy, the situation reversed. I stopped having nightmares and started having flashbacks instead.

I can't really say which way is worse . . .

Prohibiting transgender people from owning firearms, their justification being that supposedly, “Statistically, the trans population has been prone to violence.” White House Senior Director for Counterterrorism Sebastian Gorka made similar remarks: "In just a couple of years, we have seen seven mass shootings involving people of transgender nature or who are confused in their gender. Seven in just the last couple of years. That is inordinately high."

Let’s look at real facts here:

Yep, I'm now settled at my brothers gaff in Sheffield for a few days!

Very confused, Jan and Jane suddenly wanted to belt out at the top of their lungs that old ABBA song. Whether sitting at breakfast, in the shower, standing on a street corner. What had come over "them"?

Would the police arrest them? Even in jail, they were willing to risk getting beaten and bloodied. Deviated septum? So what. It was worth the risk. :)

Author of this silly little tale.

Gwen Brown or what ever.

If you haven't read the Lord of the Rings, at the end of the book Frodo is left with wounds that just wont heal in Middle-Earth.

I know what that is like, because like him, I have been wounded, and sometimes, just when I think I have totally healed, those old scars remind me of losses I can never replace.

Don't worry, I wont head for the Undying Lands before my time, but on days like today it just a little harder to keep going.

Hugs and prayers appreciated.

Thursday an appeals court denied Trump's illegal law against one's desired or court designated gender on their passport. The court claimed Trump's personal dislike for transgender is not a legal basis for passing a law. Lot of legal speak in the court documents but the general idea is they said it was unlikely Trump administration would win an appeal in higher courts.
This was a complete smack down of Trump's Exec Order ruling all passports must have the birth designated gender on one's passport. The following is one of many news feeds carrying the story.
