I didn't pray but I wished really hard. I also had this ongoing fantasy that I was a princess who had been magically transformed into a boy to keep me safe for some reason. Any day now, they were going to come for me to change me back and take me home.

I get quite a lot from them as well.

Also go to a charity shop and have a look at their knitwear. I think I got all my girly cardigans from them.

Layers. A dress with a pretty blouse underneath and a camisole under that. Woolly tights and, if necessary when going outside leggings and socks. Find nice floaty scarves to wear - it's amazing how warm you can get with one of those around your neck. When going outside find a nice fem winter coat.

5000 words each (although I'm not too worried about the word count on them). But, assuming that my guess is correct, the final book should end up being around about 95,000 words. /End

I'm tempted to get started on it today but I want to come to it fresh so I'm going to stop now and come back to it tomorrow. Once that's done there'll be a little bit of wrap up afterwards and I'll be done. Although I will then have five interludes to write, which I'm hoping will be about 2/

I mean, the obvious answer is 'get me one.'

I'll give you that one. And why wouldn't I include you? I'm including myself as well.

I think that having RCGB as part of your movement disqualifies it from being 'serious'. (And of course, your work is included, but I only had limited space so I just put down the authors I'd read most.)

The Thatcher one is probably the Falklands.

*best not bedtime. We're divorced now that hasn't been the case for a good few years...

some of the best writing I've read in a very long time. The fact that none of the big publishers seem interested in picking them up and getting them to a wider audience is, frankly, criminal.
What I'm saying here is: Read trans authors and get Kara's new book. You'll not regret your decision.
