I saw this a week or so ago, and dont know if it was posted here, but here is an article about the new SSA guidelines for Transgender to change their sex for their SS card.

I enjoy Humor even at my own expense or I am easy to entertain.

That kind of error would make life so much easier for some of us.

I've been trying to get onto Sapphire's today but it seems to be down. Is this the case, or am I getting blocked by something? I've been using the link at the top of the home page.

Thanks

I suck at time estimation.

I thought I could produce a map for S E E in about a week of dedicated effort.

So here I am, six weeks later and I'm still not finished.

Well, I'm going to try and promote my book through a site called Goodreads. If anyone would like to leave a review there, go to this link:

As RL has been a bitch this week and i'm working hard to get Gaby Book 11 finished before my summer holiday, apart from catching a new Gaby chapter here on BC you can read a new Peaches chapter on my site http://www.maddybell.com/page600.htm

Look out on Sunday for part three of Gaby Book 11 which is just 4000 words short of completion!

It was actually confirmed February 22, but Sweetie and I haven't been telling anyone. We weren't really keeping it a secret, but we would only tell people if they asked. So we've been able to keep it quiet for a while. Which was something we thought was important. I being a post-op TG girl wasn't the issue (as very, very few here know), but the fact that we were in a same-sex relationship was. Especially in a very conservative, predominantly-catholic country like the Philippines. (Guess that's the advantage of Washington DC - people are more blasé about such things back home.) And adding this to the mix will just make us doubly... controversial... So we though keeping this quiet was important.

But that's impossible now.

I've been feeling quite down and sorry for myself. My church is being demanding and I am acting like a piteous 14 year old; quite intolerable and disrespectful to boot. So, I threw a right fit today and did not report for work as I had promised. I spent the day sleeping too late, eating too much and drinking coffee which is quite forbidden. In my moping about, it felt as if I have been working far too hard and everyone is being mean to me.

had coffee with my friend Erin yesterday, and she asked me if I did anything to augment my breasts. I dont, but the whole time we were talking afterward I was self-conscious about them. It felt almost like I was topless, if you understand what I mean. I've been told this is a pretty normal reaction for a girl ....

I figured I would try something new, so I made a fan page on Facebook. Don't you want to be a fan? Please? I need validation. Plus I give updates on books that I don't give here (I rarely post something on facebook and then blog about it here). And I'm planning on doing a ton of pictures. Maybe even me as a mistress/dominatrix, I just have to find a lot of black PVC.

Anyway... You can find my fan page here https://www.facebook.com/KTLBooks?ref=hl

Long time lurker and reader but made my first comment yesterday. I'm not certain if the blog link is used in place of creating new thread in most forums I use. Or are there another more accepted manner of asking questions.

Please let me know if I need to ask through these blogs or is there a part of the forum I haven't located?

Thanks

Over the last months I did some more small steps.

Starting HRT, coming out to my mother and my siblings.
I still have to tell my eldest brother and my father, but this is not a real problem.

Okay...so...I try to be accommodating to my readers and I write this suppositional little tale based on 'Coming Out'. It is not a part two. The tale ended just where it should have; with a question. Now not only is it listed as a continuing chapter...but it has a different name. Derp!!! Someday I'll figure this all out.

I love you all...

Derp

<---this is what a derp looks like!!!

Bonne fáªte de la Saint-Jean Baptiste á  tous les Québéquois.

á  Lundi prochain pour la Fáªte du Canada.
á  Jeudi prochain pour le Jour de l'Indépendance.

er .... what happened while I was being attacked by my pillow?

My 'story' was there on the main page and now it's not.

I set up a 'story' to deal with the maps I have created for S E E

Hi all,

just a heads-up that I have now posted a second map in the Anmar Map Repository.
This one goes all the up to, but doesn't QUITE reach, Blackstone.

I hope it all helps.

Enjoy.

I'm transgender, and I love rock and roll, and metal music. Anyone else out there that feels the same?

I have made several books available on Kobo and Smashwords. This is so I can branch out and see what else is out there. So far, it isn't looking promising, but I figured that may be because I haven't told anyone about it. So, here is the official announcement.

I will be making a total of 5 books available on other platforms. So far I have 4 on the kobo and 2 of them on Smashwords. I will eventually get to all 5 as a test run. These titles will be available:

Although I was born in New Brunswick, I consider Calgary, Alberta to be my childhood home. I was there from age 5 until age 19, except for the year I spent in Denver, so we're talking 13 years in the city during my school years.

Well, right now, my childhood home is under water.

A flood the likes never seen before has hit southern Alberta, causing the evacuation of more than 100,000 people, and some brave souls have taken to Facebook to post pics of what the city looks like, and its ... devastated.

It appears that it has been a bit longer than I intended before the next chapter of my MAU story came out.

Sorry about that.

Life has been rather busy for me the past month.

Been out watching hedgehogs in my garden then had to listen to an hour long phone call from my needy friend. It's been an exhausting week, culminating in my working twelve hours yesterday and Tuesday. I am knackered, though enjoyed the hedgehogs - have a family of four zipping round the garden.

Hopefully normal service will be resumed tomorrow.

Heard this song on the radio today. There was nice punchline in the chorus: "Don't be a a drag, just be a queen!" Was amazed that it was performed by Lady Gaga.

I started having pain in my breasts last night, probably meaning that I am about have a growth spurt. As much as I am happy to get a little closer to leaving the itty bitty titty committee, this is painful ...

I probably didn't make myself clear in the last blog of what I was seeking, so I will try to not beat around the bush this time.

I'm trying to locate my cousin who, at last knowledge, was living there. I am, when it comes to using search engines on the internet, a complete dummy... clueless if you will. If you live there or near there, please contact me for his name. I haven't seen or heard from him in over 30 years and we were, or at least seemed to be, close pals when we were kids and teens.

Thanks in advance.

In September of this year I will be undergoing Gender Re-assignment Surgery. I met with DR. Sherman Leis in Bala Cynwyd today and we set the date. I am healthy in all aspects and am ready to make the step I have been waiting to make for a long time. The Surgery will take place in Philadelphia. I have met with Dr. Leis several times. I made my decision based om location, availability and if an emergency arises I am close to the surgeon.
I have met some of his patients and they speak highly of him. I do trust him and have saved the money for the surgery.

Sometimes, I dont get me at all. I'm feeling really happy, but I have just finished writing my 2nd really dark story in row .....

Hi everyone,

Had her euthenized 12:30 PM.

Was in heart failure. Kidney vaulues off the chart. Had to dilute it to even get a reading. Fluid around lungs. Body temp 5 to 7 degrees below normal.

Ghost Writer? What is that, and would it be of use to me?

This autobiography that is in progress has proved to be so painful, that I do not know if it can be finished by me. Perhaps.

I have a vet appointment for our two 18+ year old cats today.

The girl, Cally hid in the basement over night.

She is so frail and does not appear to be eating much.

Life is going to be getting very busy for me here soon, and staying busy for quite some time to come, so I need all the time I can get prepare myself for it. Time that otherwise would have been spent penning out stories. This is to say that I'm leaving BC/TS and that I don't know when, or even *if* I'll be coming back. Should that day come, I'll see you all then. If not, then it's been a fun ride and I thank you all for tolerating me here.

Toodles.

As some of you may know, I've been trying to get my children's book done. I finally got some preliminary drawings of the first two pages and have added them to the story file. Unfortunately, I can't move the story back to the first page and don't want to repub something as new that isn't.

So, if you want to see the new artwork for But I'm not a Boy, please take a look. The link is here, http://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/fiction/43417/but-im-not-boy

Hi all.

As it stands at the mo there won't be any "A Ghost of a chance" or "My fathers secret" this week.

I am currently in the midst of another massive literary undertaking when I got the urge to take a break. I felt the need to write a little tale about coming out. There has been much in the news this past year or two about various people coming out about their sexual, and gender, choices. I have always had strong opinions about coming out but I’ve yet to really set something down in words. Thus…this new tale.

Some of you know that I have been working on a very frank and blunt autobiograpy. In the initial chapters there is a character who was extremely angry, violent and abusive. He swore constantly. I plan to publish this on the open market, using my old name. I think it will piss some of the family off, hopefully.

So in describing this individual do I use all the swear words that he did, or should I just try to explain how profane he was?

Superman. Not a story but a franchise. As predictable as a McDonalds and just as hard to swallow. Give Lex Luthor a lump of that colour kryptonite that removes his powers permanently, or make Lois Lane his sworn enemy and I might be persuaded to change my mind.

In the myriad ice ages between now and when they finally decide to do something original in Hollywood, here's an idea for a remake.

I'm still waiting for this babe to get her own show. I fell in love with her when I was 9 and you know what they say about first love.

I came back from the cinema last night feeling like an utter child after seeing Man Of Steel. It was an enjoyable summer blockbuster and I liked the new direction and tone they took with the new Superman. To me, it felt like two movies in one. The first movie being an OTT sci-fi epic and the second being a story about a tortured boy trying to find relevance in this world. I preferred and enjoyed the latter more so than the headache inducing finale.

Am I being too optimistic in checking on Crystal's Story Site each day? I've taken her at her word that she's restructuring the entire database and will one day finish. However, it's been since March of 2009 since there's been any news. Does anyone know... Is Crystal still working on it, or has it been just too much to accomplish and maybe I should give up looking at the "What's New" page for an update?

5000 words, that is. ;) As of chapter 5 of my story, "I Ain't Gay", I've reached a word count of 6145*!

This story has been an emotional roller-coaster for me, and mostly toward the depression side. I've gotten lots of comments, both good and bad, in the feedback and in my blog. That's the relatively benign stuff. What y'all don't see is the PMs and private e-mails that I've gotten, some of which are extremely hateful and/or spiteful.

Well, it seems I now have a Universe tag, assuming anyone else is daft enough to want to write a story set on Anmar.

I have written up some universe rules but I would rather not make them public just yet, as there could be (of necessity) spoiler material inside. If anyone wants to have a go at a story, then PM me and we'll have a conversation.

Life occasionally sends you a little irony to make you think God has a bit of a sense of humor.
