Yes, you read that right. I actually have a chapter for you to read!!!
It’s me finishing up the Twilight/Marvel that I have had written all this time. I am needing to get to work on finishing the rest of the chapters and sending them out, but this is a way for me to get back to writing. I edit past chapters and slowly it eases me back to my style of writing. I will finish up this one and then work on Sacred and the rest of the load.
However, you will find me tapering off from editing and getting back into writing soon enough. So until I get enough banked chapters, I will be posting once a week. When during that week? No idea. But I will aim for a week at a time, once I get banked chapters. Banked chapters mean they are back from betas and I have done my part as well. Right now, there are not many. And they are for stories that are for my first fans.
Just a reminder, the writing contest is up and waiting for your reading pleasure. (Click the little banner above to go there if you haven’t had a chance yet!) The other fandom featured for those that are not in the know is Moonlight. Please still give them a read, others have and find the stories very enjoyable. No real knowledge of the fandom is needed, it just gives an extra umph. And for those of you reviewing and reading,
So here is the chapter for those that want to jump right in:
And for those that want to start from the beginning:
Writing Contest is due on Thursday. If you need an extension email us and we will grant one. I will probably be busy all weekend, so it’s safe to say I won’t get to the banners until next week at the earliest.
Also, for those that have not done so, the voting is still open. You can choose more than 1 choice. For those who are on their mobile devices, it is the pinned post on the top of the group. And the results are still changing. I am paying attention, and that is why you are getting this chapter in particular. It was voted 3rd for being wanted. Also, there is another poll open for an opinion of you guys. I want to know what you think on something.
Now you can enjoy the chapter. As always the banner on top (which will take you to the main page for this story) or any other banners take you to their subjects for you.
First I want to say a very heartfelt thank you to our armed forces and veterans. Thank you for making sure I have the freedom to write what I want, to follow my passion.
Second, I know I am late, but Happy Birthday to the Marines.
Third, I thought this was a perfect day for another chapter of Tired Wings are Falling. I mean we have two WWII soldiers in the story. It fits?
Fourth, I am hoping this will be something enjoyable to do after the week we Americans have had. So many people are freaking out, but I wish to inform those that don’t know…
The President of the United States of America is not the end all of our Government. May I remind you:
Our federal government has three parts. They are theExecutive,(President and about 5,000,000 workers)Legislative(Senate and House of Representatives) andJudicial(Supreme Court and lower Courts).
ThePresident of the United Statesadministers theExecutiveBranch of our government. He enforces the laws that the LegislativeBranch (Congress) makes. The President is elected by United States citizens, 18 years of age and older, who vote in the presidential elections in their states. These votes are tallied by states and form the Electoral College system. States have the number of electoral votes which equal the number of senators and representatives they have. It is possible to have the most popular votes throughout the nation and NOT win the electoral vote of the Electoral College.
TheLegislativepart of our government is called Congress. Congress makes our laws. Congress is divided into 2 parts. One part is called the Senate. There are 100Senators–2 from each of our states. Another part is called the House of Representatives. Representatives meet together to discuss ideas and decide if these ideas (bills) should become laws. There are435 Representatives. The number of representatives each state gets is determined by its population. Some states have just 2 representatives. Others have as many as 40. Both senators and representatives are elected by the eligible voters in their states.
TheJudicialpart of our federal government includes theSupreme Courtand9 Justices. They are special judges who interpret laws according to the Constitution. These justices only hear cases that pertain to issues related to the Constitution. They are the highest court in our country. The federal judicial system also has lower courts located in each state to hear cases involving federal issues.
All three parts of our federal government have their main headquarters in the city of Washington D.C.
I hope this waylays some fears I am seeing and hearing from others. For Americans, we are taught this in our Government classes, and for those that are young enough, we had Schoolhouse Rock:
It is for a kid, but still, it works. (The Bill one was the one that stuck in my mind the most, but the fact that I remembered they had one for this from over 30 years ago is kinda amazing to me!)
So calm down. Stop attacking people on social media and in person. There are checks and balances to our system, and they do work. Mostly.
I don’t want a debate, I won’t answer anyone who starts an argument over this. I am just sending this out there to reassure people, that our President is NOT our King or any ruler like one. He is one man versus the other 2 branches. He can veto, but even the Supreme Court can overrule him.
Now I hope I calmed someone down, and if not, go read this chapter. I am trying to get where I can write again, its been kinda hard with my wifi adapter going out on my constantly, as well as my computer sometimes thinking I have 2 harddrives.

Enjoy your weekend. I will be updating the Food Blog with more recipes added to the new menu. Please remember all the old favorites are still there. The search engine works awesomely, and I have used it a few times to get recipes that I have added. I am also be getting some more family recipes soon from my family, my grandmother would like them to be added so that anyone can come in and use them.
I will be doing a post with the winners of the contest as soon as my ladies send me the information. Don’t forget the Christmas Contest….
First off, I wish to thank those of you who commented on my last post. Depression is not to be taken lightly. Not to be a joke. It literally turns your body and mind against you to where you feel there is nothing good left. While I am saddened by others having this, at the same time I comforted by the thought there are others who really understand it.
Thank you.
Now, I have some chapters of Tea Shoppe, both the Alice and the Twilighted version. For those that are wondering, Peter is Hatter. I have had this question pop up a couple times, but I figured I would answer it. Yes, in my fic, Peter is British. Why? Because I wanted to see how this story worked if it was published in the Twilight world. I was originally going to see about publishing it, but I don’t know if anyone would be interested, and frankly, I don’t write like this anymore.
So I hope this helps distract everyone from the stress of yesterday. Myself? I am hoping my computer allows me to continue to work, it likes to turn off the Wifi adapter, and sometimes acts too stupid to fix it. I hate restarting the dang thing since it sometimes thinks that I have too many hard drives and that it cannot find one of them. I only have one, but yeah… Makes me frightened to turn off the stupid thing. The only happy thing is that I have everything backed up on a cloud, as well as here.
Also, Thanks to 4Padfoot, Tea Shoppe (the original one in Alice) now has a character page with stats and so on. You can find it here:
(Yes, I stole the banner from Dying)
In Addition, we added an Affiliate Sites button to the side for those who host their own sites that we know, or who are actually affiliated with this site. Click it to find out what we have!!!!
I have been overhauling the Kittyinaz’s Food Blog. It has a new menu system, and I am working to add all the recipes we have collected to it. It looks completely new, and I am very impressed with how it is turning out. I never expected it to ever have as many recipes as it does, as well as being a go to. I am hoping to get it all sorted out for the holidays for you to use. I am working on the desserts, and boy, are there tons of them!!! The menu is set up like a food menu at a restaurant, to make it easier to find things. And of course, the search field is at the bottom of the page in case you want to use that instead. I am working to change the fonts from Yellow that was easier to read on the old theme to black on this one, but if you have any issues, message me and I will go in to switch the recipe for you earlier.
Reminders:
The Christmas contest is live!!! I am looking forward to the entries!!!
The Amazon link is also here. The link is: http://www.amazon.com/?_encoding=UTF8&tag=kittyinaz-20 The kittyinaz-20 at the end should be in the address field when you pull up Amazon. After that, anything you do will give credit, even if you don’t buy. It might make it where the next person comes in and looks and buys the item.
I will be doing a page for you guys to see what all is going on with the monies we get from donations and the Amazon referrals.
Yep, it is that chapter of Clocks. Late, but then…
One – There is a movie playing in the middle. It was supposed to be a gif, but nobody would use it (WordPress and FB gave me issues). Then it played too fast. I adjusted timing. It is still fast. All I can think is that movies are faster than gifs.
Two – As many of you know, I am often sick. I don’t work and this is often because of all the crap I deal with. Lately, it seems to be hitting me harder, but thank God that I am not in the middle of the worst of the depression. Most of the time we know what will set it off, and do try as hard as we can to make sure I don’t have that happening. But sometimes, it just comes, and I feel exhausted all the time. My body is rebelling against me, and I often want to curl up in bed and rock myself.
The fun part? No one knows what is wrong with me. I need my own House, MD. The best anyone has figured out is that it may be many problems going on, and they play off each other. If my insomnia acts up, I get sick. If my tummy doesn’t like anything I eat, the insomnia ends up being worse, and I get sick. If my back starts hurting and spasming, all the above happens.
The good news? The pills (Bio – X4) do work. I am NOWHERE close to what made me lose my job because of the constant pain and the inability to leave the house. I don’t think I can take that again. There are side effects to it, however, none of them are bad for me. They might cause others to hate them, but for me? Nothing. Nowhere close to what I was dealing with. It’s mostly the pure exhaustion that is wiping me out. I want to sleep, and my mind laughs evilly at me.
I may only sleep 4-5 hours, but hey, it is sooo much better than the none or 1 hour I had before. (I am taking something from Target called Olly Restful Sleep. It has melatonin plus something else to help quiet the brain.) I am trying to be better, though last week was a fail on all accounts. And I found out what happens if I get off the pills and everything.
So I have this week’s chapter ready, and of course, the ladies in my group were leaked all sorts of stuff and have been reading it as I write this. I am sorry there are not more pics, but frustration has gotten the better of me.
I will be back to working on the timeline of In The End this week. Also, I have a very awesome lady, named MissPharao who went through In The End and corrected all those German translations for me. I have to correct a banner still, and then upload all the corrected chapters to all the places. I will do this, but later. I really want to get to writing this stuff out.
I just wanted to tell you guys what is going on, why I am falling behind on obligations and so on. I really wish my health would listen to me, but then, if it did, I would probably be still working. I also wanted to let those out there that suffer, there are others going through it. I am not trying to get sympathy, I am just telling you what is going on. Frankly, I don’t want it. I am needing the anger to get me up. The more I get up and deal with things, the more I will win over this. Obviously, there are times I give up. (last week) However, I am now happier to be here working, helping others out.
Also, please don’t forget to read and vote for the Writing contest entries!!!! As well as there is the new one ready for you to enter.
It truly is amazing the stuff you can find on the internet. I searched Alexander Skarsgard leprechaun and the picture above is what popped up. I think it is fitting for today. Sorry I missed posting last week, but Daylight Savings in the USA screwed me up. Losing one hour completely wrecked my week. I…
Can someone please explain to me why I am seeing more snow in March than I did in the entire months of December and January???? I should be getting ready for spring, not worrying about shoveling 8 inches of snow. The only way snow in March is acceptable is if it this is part of…
Hello lovelies. I cannot guarantee I will be back to publishing weekly, but I will try. My dear beta, kleannhouse, is in high demand trying to juggle the stories of three writers. She is amazing and she makes me laugh with all of her comments on my stories. This one especially. I started this story…
