Yep!! I am off the ban and back in Texas.  BUT.   I am also moving furniture so I can have an office.  Well I was moving furniture until we found out that I pulled a tendon on my knee.  That major one that makes you leg move, yeah.. that one.  It kind of hurts.. ALOT!

The funny thing?  I did it doing the Couch Potato to 5K.  Which is fine!!!  Even my bone Dr. said it was great.  AS long as you don’t pull up, and as long as you listen to your body.  His words, Muscles sore good.  Joints sore BAD!!!!  I did this last week, and yes I moved furniture around the house too.  But I REALLY want my office.  REALLY, REALLY!

So what have I been doing since I am sedatory again?  Umm trying to deal with the pain.  Right now, per the Dr.’s orders, the brace that keeps my knee stable is off, and I am on the computer.  Bad thing?  The computer is butted up to the wall, and I can’t move it much.  (Another reason for the office to be done soon!!!)

For those that wished me Happy Birthday, THANKS!!! It made my day awesome.  Specially Sharon and the Banner she made for it!!!  It was really special since Sharon shares the b-day with me.

I am also going back to journal all the stories, to make sure it is easy for me to pick them up.  And OI will be editing any content still in my folders.  I am starting with You’re.  Give me time, I have a lot to journal, including mentions of what I need to do to it to turn into other stuff, for the sequels and such.  I have a new story that is also ready to go, a new beta to start up on Tin Man and a story that will take some time since it is very angsty.   Not normal for me, no, but it has been a story in my head for over 15 years.  It deserves to be written.

Also, There are contests galore happening over on the Facebook page.  Banner contests for this month and next for stories, and Robin has a contest for book covers for those stories in the media area.  She has, as the most awesome web Admin ever, made all my stories available for your choice of formats, to download and be able to read in other formats in case you want it.

Next month will go back to the interviews, and then every other month will be a new contest.  I am trying to make our Facebook page more interactive.  Kelly has done an awesome job organizing our photos.  If you can think of some ideas, please let us know!

Just for information, I am writing MamaKitty’s fic when I am done journaling and so on. Some stories will be worked on afterwords, but some are looking to be as epic as the one I am working on.  Epics stories:  Tin Man, Revelations (Which is a series but epic..) Best.  Best may become its own series, but I need to talk with everyone involved with it.  Blood of Innocents has the capacity to become epic, and when I say epic, I am thinking over 50 chapters…

So be patient, I have many things going on, including nasty drugs for my knee that is messing with me, but as I finish a journal, I will be editing and so on, so I will be handing off to the Betas.  You’re is finished.  The new E/S is finished.  those two will be coming.  If it is a story I have published, then you will get the updates.  if it is one I was working on, then you won’t.  So anything new will be given as complete by the time you are seeing it.  Those others, well I am updating them with a chapter at least.

As always, we need Betas.  If you wish to be one, we have a process and you just have to get hold of Meridian.  We are NOT allowing you guys to go solo and flounder.  Those days are by gones.  we have a excellent set of betas and we look forward to having them work with the new ones to understand processes.  But don’t forget the bennies, access to the whole site, and so on.

Also. the season for shopping may be over, but please click on the link to amazon if you buy anything.  It really helps me pay for stuff, like the journals.  Well Not really yet, but it will!!!  It costs you not a dime, but the money you send my way, will help Marty out.

See you guys soon, hopefully my office may get done, the moving, the decorations shouldn’t surprise too many of you, I am using my favorite artist Ansel Adams, and Owls.  Shocking right?  I am going to love the room once it is done!!!

As always, many, many thanks to the Betas who keep this all together so that I can do what needs to be done.   I really appreciate each and every one of you!

Enjoy!!
