I know.. you guys are all excited for another Sunday Post.  Please note I am doing this very early (for me.  I have a new sleeping rhythm).

What is going on in my world?  My muse for I Never…Did is being a very big loudmouth.  I had plans.  I was going to get the next chapter of Best out to Kelpie, then work on that interview, then work on the stories.  I have a lot to accomplish.  And what happens?  You guys fed the muse.  Your reviews took what I had and gave my muse a boost, and I am going in a new direction than I planned for I Never Did.  Why?  Well, I thought about it, and it makes more sense for me to go this way.  It’s very interesting the twists and turns have taken it.

Why are you guys to blame?  Remember I said long ago, that while I write for myself and my betas, you guys can affect what happens with reviews?  Yeah.  That.  Already you have moved ITE up to being finished next writing period.  And now I have I Never Did being written.  I had other plans, but I read a really nice review.  It motivated me.  And you guys have already two chapters in the bank while I am going to be writing more.  And on top of that, one of the pages I follow for TB information had sent out their Video of the Week, and they threw in another one.  Love Don’t Die.  And it fired that muse right up!

Just remember, I Never Did was supposed to be one of those fics I write when my other stuff is just not coming to me.  It does NOT fall under the I-will-finish-it-before-moving-on group.  It is one that as long as Meridian and I have time, we will publish.  It just so happens I feel guilty about not being done with my writing list and You’re is ending this week.  IT won’t happen often, but I never thought my muse would come up with ALL these stories!!

Moving on…

Now I will admit I have a list I am keeping of people to honor in these Sunday posts, and as my group exposes more of their talents, I am adding them to the list!  Feel free to share your extra talents, because lets admit it, you guys are a group of very talented individuals and need to have your efforts applauded.  This is why I have made these Sundays happen.  And who is the person being honored this week?

Magsmacdonald

She is one of my betas, and one of the first ones.  Her story that she betas will be finished this writing jag, but my life is so much richer since meeting this awesome woman.  She is one of the ladies who made my rant on Awards come true.  She also is a freaking awesome author too.  On top of this, she betas for other ladies while keeping this hectic schedule, and she is the leader of a Girl Scout troop!  I never could do all this.  She is always willing to help others.  She unselfishly jumps in and helps whenever someone asks.  I have no idea how she does it, and she works!

She also puts up with me, which ain’t easy.  From what I hear, I am unusual as a writer.  I write out what I guess is a rough draft.  Then I go back and edit it. (Those Final counts, yeah that is the second time through.)  then I hand it off to the Betas.  They have my full permission to work on the stuff I am doing, and they can edit it and do what is needed to make it as clean as they can make it.  In fact I have a game I play.  I tell them they can publish once a week, and publishing weeks start on Wednesdays.  They come back and tell me (And the Facebook group) when they do this, so if I am sleeping (and this happens a lot since my betas come from all over the world), I can write up the posts.  Or they can, if I am sick.  The game?  I go through and try to find the changes.  Not hard.  Especially after I gave a hint one time I can catch them by formatting…

Ok, you are asking what this matters, right?  The thing is, I don’t care what they change, as long as it is still my work.  We no longer toss the new betas into the deep end and hope they swim.  Now they get mentors and we are quite organized.   I have Meridian who is in charge of the betas, and Bertie Bott has stepped up to help her out.  4Padfoot handles my webpage for me.  missrissa81 is my Continuity Beta.  Since she somehow keeps all my stories in order in her head and can help any of us with plot points. Gyllene is 4Padfoot ‘s minion.  LOL!  Though she is more than welcome to do anything, she seems to be able to help me a lot on Photoshop.  And she is the reason we have a freaking awesome new Song Lists Banner that the two of us worked on.  I did the putting together of logos from bands on my iTunes.  They are not even close to being all of them.  Then I was stuck.  She came through and did the Music thing over it all and made it look awesome.

Mags is one of the people who made all this possible.  She stepped up when I was floundering, took over her story and soon asked me awesome questions to make the story even better.  While she was awesome and I counted myself so lucky to have her, it was not until the You Want Blood Awards came about that I really got to know her.  And can she make me laugh.  I love working with her, and love it when she is online. So hop over to her site.  Read her freaking awesome stories.  (I am personally in love with Make A Wish!).  Tell her I sent you.

Ok this week the videos! This week is hard since I am having some sort of error with YouTube.  I can’t watch half of the videos this week.  Grrrrr  So… Funny Videos this time.

First off, I am a huge David Tennant fan.  And I love Top Gear.  So this cracks me up, specially after my hubby showed me the actual show with this one on it.  I thought you guys may want a laugh.
