Adding MSG

So, on and off in the background for a while now.  Since sometimes in November technically, I have been low key working on a sort of unnamed/unnamable project.   It’s kind of a memoir kind of an autobiography….thing.

Of note,

--I hate these kinds of books.—

In particular I get vomitous at the notion that trans people in nay way are obligated to tell “our story.”

Fuck you.   That’s ours.

This is not a book for straight people. It’s not a book for allies. 

It’s a book for people in the trenches.   It’s a book that does not give you easy answers. It’ doesn’t pat you on the head and say “everything magically gets better”

Because we know better.

Nothing gets better unless you make it better.

This is for those who want to make their life better. 

It only has a working title and, at this point I have to say that the increasingly ironically named Maenad’s Survival Guide is definitely going to need a new title. 

Whatever I don’t care about shit like that.

I’m not actually sure what this is for yet. My back brain, which does all the thinking, has not pushed Exposition live to me, the forebrain yet.   But I know it’s for something.

(Don’t laugh this is how all my best ideas have started)  

Until a few months ago, almost all of it existed entirely as a series of recordings I made late last year and subsequently. Some were for this though I didn’t realize it yet and some were more directed.  At least one was for a thing that subsequently didn’t happen, but I now realize was for this thing.   

Again, this is how my brain works.

So, I have a bunch of tapes which I’m slowly transcribing and revising and an outline and am slowly adding stuff in the blanks.  It is a thing that will let me know when it is time to call it done and just revise it into completion.  Right now I’m not there yet.

I am thinking about releasing the recordings, in whole or part though.  There is a rawness to them that no text is going to capture. 

OTOH this might push even my limits for how much of myself I’m willing to expose for my art (haha so I guess this means I’ll be posting them then.)
