New Year Reflections
Time passes so fast sometimes. I blink and I realize it’s been far too long since I’ve updated this blog (sorry). I mentioned the upcoming vlog series back in August and that came and went without my promoting it here (really sorry). I filmed and uploaded my 50th birthday countdown videos and hopefully if you’re…

Twitter Suspension and Upcoming Vlog Series
UPDATE: My suspension has been lifted. The only reason they gave me was that they suspended my account for engaging in “spam, and fake or artificial account interactions and engagements.” Which is not something I do. I’ve asked for clarification. Apparently, I’ve been a very bad boy. Last night, Twitter suspended my @Kleineganz account with…

Life in Transition
When I last wrote a blog post, I did not expect the entire world to be upended as much as it had. Like everyone else, I sat back and watched as life screeched to a halt. As an introvert, who was already self-employed and semi-retired, the pandemic did not affect my life as much as…

A New Year, A New Decade
I hadn’t intended to leave this blog stagnant for over a year, yet here we are. The past year was eventful, which led me to not have the bandwidth to maintain my blogs. Since my last post, I survived five surgeries, lost one of my beloved dogs, and published my second novel. I also began…

This Blog is Maturing
Hey folks. Due to the changes going on over at Tumblr, I’ve decided I’m going to shut down my account there on or before December 17th. That means I’ll be moving some of my more mature fan art commissions to this blog. That means this blog will be flagged as “mature” (and I already started…

Life is a Cancer
All the negative news these past few weeks has exposed the cancer that has been festering in our society for decades. The civil rights and equal rights movements of the 1960s and 70s may have driven it underground, but it has never truly gone away. We were lulled into a false sense of complacency and…

Beginning my Transition
So, about three weeks ago, I began my gender transition with my first testosterone injection. When I first came out as genderqueer a year ago, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to transition. However, after doing a lot more research and soul searching, I came to realize that this was the right step for me…

Becoming a Novelist
It seems I’m doing a lot of “becoming” lately, although in many ways these changes have been a long time coming. As I’ve mentioned before, I started writing fan fiction in 2015, which was also the same year I wrote my first novel during NaNoWriMo, Artifact of the Dawn. It’s over two years later and…

Becoming Who I Want to Be
I’ve spent most of my life trying to conform to other’s expectations. I told myself that I wasn’t conforming at all, but even adopting labels like geek or tomboy, were still ways of me conforming to others’ expectations. As a young child, I insisted I was a boy. Everything about boys resonated with me, while…

Stuck in Limbo
Lately I’ve very much felt as if I’m stuck in limbo. I have a need to move forward with my life, but I’m stuck treading water and it’s getting to a point where it’s really frustrating. I no longer have the same love and passion for my consulting work that I once had. A big…
