Here are the stories I have in the works as of today, ordered by completeness.
"Farm" tg story. This story is a magical TG story and is around 60k words. It will be an illustrated story that I will post on tgcomics.com website once completed. If has gone through a couple drafts and needs at least one more. "Farm" is the working title, not the real title. I guestimate this one being completed (and hopefully posted) near the start of summer, which would be one year from its first draft.
Speaking of story drafts nearly a year old, the second story is also TG, but no magic in this one. The title is "Summer Secrets", is 66k words long, and in need of at least one more draft. I finished the first draft in March of last year. I hope to have this one finished and posted on either FictionMania or The Big Closet in April of this year.
"Nanny" TG story. I am currently working on this story's first draft. It is a magical TG story. I just hit 27k words and probably have another 25k to go, at least. I hope to have the first draft completed before March 2015.
"Heather's" story. This is the third story in the Bethany series. It is a magical good girl to bad girl story with both mental and physical transformations, and most likely, serial corruption. I put a teaser about this story in "The Birth of Bethany", which was first posted a year ago. I really thought I'd have written this story by now. I hope to have this one written and posted before April 2015. I've written the first scene of the story, just so I can say that it is in process.
I have no idea what I will write after these, but it is my plan to keep writing for the foreseeable future.

One year anniversary
It's been one year since I posted my first story online. I posted Just Pretending on 1/1/2014 and then updated it on 1/4/2014, so it is showing up in the "Stories Posted Today" on FictionMania today.
I expected to have a lot more stories posted by this time. I started out really well, but I slowed down quite a bit in the summer. I ended up posting a total of six stories in 2014 for a total of 147,028 words. I have another 130k worth in the two novels that I wrote. Both are complete stories and could be posted today, but I want to go over them one more time. If you add in the number of words I've written on the current story that puts me at 815 words per day. I want to do better.
I am writing a story right now that will be set at Christmas time (I think). I had hoped it would be a fairly short story, but then I started falling in love with the characters and now I want to do them justice. I already hit 16k words and that is only about 20-25% of the way into the story. If I do keep the story at Christmas time I will probably hold onto it and post it in December.
Once I am done with this story I will start working on the next Bethany story. It is time for Heather to get her due. I have some wicked ideas for her and her friends.
After that, I would like to work on a Halloween TG story. I would like to start it well in advance of the holiday so that I can edit it a few times. I find that if I let a story sit for a couple months between major edits I can distance myself from the story and approach it from "fresh" eyes.
I also have strong ideas for three stories that I want to write soon, two of which will likely pass 50k words.
I signed up for a writing class at the local community college, so I will probably need to work on a story that I am willing to show people I know.
At some point in the near future I will need to do some work on the two unfinished novels. I imagine I'll take another pass at one or both within the next month or so.
It will be interesting to see what I have written this time next year.

Time enough at last
My available time to write took a big blow back at the end of August. I used to find myself with a couple free hours everyday to write, but due to a very good change in my life, I suddenly did not have as much time. I still have time to write, but I have to sacrifice doing something else I like to do now, whereas before I could write and do the other things I liked, So, it has been a struggle at times. I have been writing, but at a much slower pace.
Well, the next three days are completely mine. I have a story that I want to write. I have it pretty much mapped out in my head who the characters are and where I want to go, and I now have the time. I've decided to set the story at Christmas time to "force" myself to try and get it done before the 25th. I think I can do it. I have the idea, and I have the time. Now, I just have to stop doing things like writing on this blog and get to it.

Story Recommendation: SRU: Second Hand Smoke
Seeing as how I just posted a mix of TG and smoking stories to DeviantArt, I thought that I'd recommend a smoking TG story. SRU: Second Hand Smoke was written by Debi back in 1999. I particularly liked that the main character's introduction to smoking included a mental and physical transformation into a woman while having sex with a beautiful female smoker. Debi has three other stories posted on FictionMania, all of them combining smoking and mtf transformation.

Story: Coffee & Cigarettes: A Love Story
Coffee and Cigarettes: A Love Story
By Varian Milagro
“There’s something strange going on at my work,” Brooke Paulson said to her sister, Ashley, as they sat across from each other at a downtown restaurant.
“What is it this time?” Ashley asked as she rolled her eyes. Her sister tended to see conspiracy everywhere.
“I think the coffee is making people smoke,” Brooke replied.
“I should have known that you didn’t invite me to lunch just to visit.”
Ashley loved her sister, really she did, but her sister tended to annoy the hell out of her. Besides the paranoia, there was the job itself. While Ashley had worked tirelessly to graduate at the head of her high school class and holding down a part time job to save money for college, Brooke had played video games and earned a 2.0 GPA in middle school. When Ashley graduated Magnum Cum Laude from her university, Brooke had barely earned her high school diploma, having spent all her time on Facebook and twitter. Once out of college, Ashley couldn’t find a job to save her life, while Brooke fell ass backward into a job as the Social Media liaison for a large accounting firm. So, while her sister has her own apartment and makes 50k a year while playing on Facebook and Twitter, Ashley is struggling to finish her masters while working as an intern and freelancing on the side.
“I’m serious. We started getting a new brand of coffee a couple months ago and, like a week later, people start smoking.”
“You know that correlation does not equal causation. Perhaps they were closet smokers or they just didn’t smoke at work.”

I finished a story!
I finished a story! Yeah!!
In my last post I stated that I was going to take part in National Novel Writing Month. Well, that lasted three days. I really did not want to write another novel length story this year. I have two that have not been posted and I did not want to add a third to the pile. I switched to made a half-hearted attempt at starting a TG version of my story "The Birth of Bethany" and I may continue it at some point, but I really wanted to post a story. It had been over four months since I last posted a story online and I was getting itchy.

Writing goal - progress
Well, I didn't do that well on my writing goal for October. I was able to revise one story and submit it for comments and I nearly finished another, but I did not tackle the third. I struggled with motivation in the later part of October. I love the farm story and look forward to receiving comments on it. And I look forward to taking another pass at the salon story, but the story "Coffee and Cigarettes: A Love Story" has been a bitch to write. I like parts of it, but many times I ask myself "Why, the flip, am I writing this story" and I don't have a good answer. I think I may need to put it aside and work on a story I feel compelled to write, but at the same time I think that if I give up on the story it will be that much easier to give up on the next one.
