And this means… a new Harry Potter chapter! (And I just noticed that the reflection doesn’t move……)
The reason for the Gif is: sorry I didn’t get this out last night, but I went to see the new Avengers. It was awesome!!! I was in the movie theater (which was an awesome crowd, they were so into it all. The Star Wars trailer let us know how much into they were, people were wooping and cheering with it!) when I got the alert it was ready, but I got home late, and I think I was burning to finish the chapter of Sacred. I did and then it was past midnight. Life was moving fast for me today.
Today I had the next chapter (For those keeping track, yep Chapter 9) in me, and pounded that thing out in a couple of hours, with dog interruptions. Murphy has understood the writing part yet. Connor is the writing dog. I seem to write every time he comes and lies at my feet. When I come ot a part I need to gather my thoughts, I pet him and they tumble out and there I go. Murphy is the I want something to eat, something to do, I need something!!!! Connor tries to guard me, but often he looks to me as, ‘Why did we get him? We could have left him outside.’ Don’t get me wrong, they play like crazy and close. But Murphy is all wanting out, now he knows that we won’t leave him out there. I truly can’t wait until we can get the dog door with the chip that will only let them out, not the cat. (And yes that is Connor sleeping on Murphy. they are very close…)
I am about to start chapter 10, and I have a new character who started out as a side, but my muse just turned and laughed at me. I tried to cast another guy as Alexi, but ended up with Joshua Jackson. Let me tell you, there is a reason I haven’t used this eye candy for awhile. I secretly rooted for him in Dawson’s Creek. I watched Fringe just for him. Mr. Kittyinaz got me to watch the Mighty Ducks because he found my secret rooting out. Bastard. I managed to escape some Disney franchise and he dragged me into it. And I have a bad feeling he might creep into I Never…Did. Why? Well….
Gyllene mentioned she was introduced to One Note because of me. I am using it alongside with the new story, and was building character profiles as things happen, and one of the things I was building was a wall of pictures with the relationships to each other. I chose these two pics, and they made me blink a few times with the similar features. Very few of my characters crossover stories, but I think Joshua may become one of them.
And yes, I use One Note. I have been using it for awhile to keep track of my pages, and what I need to do, since it syncs automatically across all my devices. I still write in my journals, since the manual writing makes me brief, and not writing the story in One Note. But now, all notes are in One Note. One of the big reasons is that it is like a white board, you post what you want, stick pictures on it, and it is as big as you need it to be per pages. And another? If you paste notes from the internet, it also adds the webpage for you to go back to that moment. *fist pumps*. So needed that.
I also do it so I can take pictures of my story notes, and put them on there for the betas to read the notes and make sure what I wrote out is still kinda following the idea. kinda. It allows MissRissa81 to make her notes and sync to the notebooks for it. And so forth. It is a way for my betas to keep up with me electronically, and since we are worldwide literally, it helps!!!
One Note is free, and I prefer it just because I am a Microsoft user for many years and it is more intuitive for me to use. Shoot I have tested beta versions of office. I forgot until the last time I booted my laptop and it reminded me to download the full version for free, and thanks for all the testing I did on Office 2007. Ouch. But since they are not forcing me to upgrade, I am kinda scared to. That version is much more smarter than my desktop Office 365! Though they did listen when I suggested for you to have a grey background on 365. (I know I must not be the only one but it was only a couple of weeks after I sent in the request that I got it!) I rather have black, but ah well.
I know I rambled everywhere. I have to admit, no one will see me tomorrow. It is my day off, and maybe Monday. We will find out Monday. LotR update is this Monday, so it maybe late, sorry. But I needed a rest, so badly after this past week of working on that dang database. It’s why I turned to writing last night and today. So much more relaxing and feeling accomplished.
There is chapter one teased in my Facebook Group of Sacred. Click above to go to the group. And it looks like this one will be entered into being edited when I am done with the database. I am going to keep up with this one, the ideas are flowing. Only when I am writing, Muses!
Don’t forget to put in your nominations. Per 4Padfoot:
If you don’t have a entry for that section please just put ‘I don’t read this group’ it will be the easiest for me to sort then then you can enter the ones that you do read for.
So put those nominations in and I hope that helps!
So enjoy the chapter for tonight. And I will enjoy working on my story. C-ya on the flip side.
