Yeah… I didn’t like it much when I got up to go to the gym. But hey, it has to come so we can get to the weekend faster. Now… In my honest opinion, the weekend can just not end, but I saw that cartoon when Christmas didn’t end and I learned my lesson.
Hey!! Don’t judge!
lol.
I am running back and forth from the kitchen and here. I came from the gym and started dinner, which is my own sauce that I made up one day and it a fan favorite. The bad thing is that I am bad about being patient, so I learned to go into another room and work on something, checking on it for this stage. (Cooking down the broth before the sauce is added.)
Which leads me to reminding you guys that there is a Kittyinaz’s Group Food Blog that is being updated at least once a week. They are planning some awesome stuff, and my sauce recipe is there. And there is a YUMMY as heck Sweet potato casserole that has a 5 star rating from all who taste it. Shoot, last year, I only got one serving, my parents ate the rest.
Also, there are contests that are either in the voting stage:
Or in the submitting stage:
Go over and look them over!
In Addition, you will be getting a post a day for the next 10 days. I am announcing the start of the Christmas Writing Contest!
As some of you may remember, I am leaving this year for Tucson, AZ for a couple months. I leave the day before Thanksgiving, and will be back in January some time. Last time I went there, I wrote All I Want, and I plan to write it’s sequel. As well as many other things.
So I am planning to start the contest Thanksgiving, that way you guys can start reading the contest pieces. I am going to be announcing this as much as possible, and ask that people spread the contest also.
This year, I decided on prompts. There are 10 of them. These are what are going to be revealed each day, with the Facebook Group getting them a day early. I will tell you one of them has inspired me, then I went, I already wrote something close to it. The last prompt is a wide range of them, but I am hoping this will help you guys come up with ideas.
Today’s prompt:
I hope to see entries!!! I will be working on them as they come in, to make it where I am not burdened down on the week I am trying to leave. The entries need to be in by midnight November 21st, CST. Once all the prompts are in, (or if 4Padfoot comes up with an idea) we will showcase the page.
I overworked her I think.
I am off to check dinner, and hopefully be able to finish up the last chapter of the written Clocks for betaing. Dying to start again is in my hands, and I am looking it over. This weekend was a wash on doing anything but the Christmas Contest.
And I am not referencing World of Warcraft…. You guys seriously rock the boat!
So for those that don’t know me, or caught on with the symbols and such on the site. I love owls. Truly. And I can point to you the time I liked them was when I read the Belgariad by David Eddings. Since then, I have been fascinated by them. (And Hummingbirds, but owls are neat in an everyday thing, while hummingbirds are a sit and watch type thing.)
One of the awesome authors I have made friends with sent me the above gif, and I wanted to share him with you.
The winner is What If, however, the other story, Dying to Start Again started to pick up speed at the end.
Now here is the bad news. This is the last What If chapter Beta’d. And there are only 2 more in the queue. Yeah I know. I am REALLY trying to control the muse, but she is not paying much attention to me. I was lucky to get a bunch of chapters edited for Clocks yesterday. I am hoping I can finish the chapters that are done so I can move onto another story and closer to finishing the chapters that were already written.
Yes, I know that there are now other stories now in the queue. Like Some Sacred Place in Time. That one is up to 34 chapters right now. And maybe.. just maybe half way done. Not for sure. Which reminds me I need to give the teaser for this week on the Facebook Group.
I also worked on the sequel to the Mummy. One half chapter before she quit that one and jumped somewhere else. Oi Vey.
We will see if she will work on the last chapters tonight. This weekend, I am not allowing her to work, it will be a banner weekend. Plus I have my nephew’s 3rd bday to go to. So we will be working on the banners for the stories.
And the Charmed new story will be also going out also. I’m working it now, and once I am done, I need 4padfoot and her magic to happen also.
For those that like the Twilight/LotR story, I am happy to say a discussion in the beta chat has inspired me to go beyond normal in that one. Thanks so much to the betas for that fun chat!! And no, there is no spoof like I did with ED. It was an honest discussion and it sparked ideas that immediately got researched and approved on.
Cause this writer needs to learn how to corral my muse(s) into order. Or learn to lasso them. Or something!!!!!
Seriously. In the last week, I have worked on the following stories. Not all having complete chapters, but I have worked on them:
Breathe The Name of Your Savior (Twilight/NCIS)
The Sun Holds the Moon (Twilight/LOtR)
Some Sacred Place in Time (TB – And the most consistent for getting chapters – TG!)
Love Speaks in Silence (VD/Twilight (sequel to You’re)
Blood of Innocence (Inuyasha)
You Get Lighter (Mummy/Twilight, sequel to Light up the Path)
Oh My GOOOODDDDDDD!!!!! You have no idea how much it drives me nuts!!! I want to work on something and finish. Instead I am jumping around, and if I don’t play her games, when and where she wants, there is nothing. I have partial chapters to prove it. Saturday was the worst!!!
So in punishment, she had to deal with bio’s this morning for the Original Fiction. I hate Bios. They are so helpful, but seriously, I hate them. I am filling out the information I am aware of, and then ask my wonderful, awesome, wouldn’t know what to do without her CB, if she can make sure I didn’t forget anything. When she has time. She has already assured me that there was no birthdays talked about yet, TG.
And face it, I will get out Revelations every other week. Hopefully this weekend I can work on some banners. I want to get that one all caught up, all across the board. I still need to catch up What If with banners for the chapters that were before I learned how to do them. And replace some KStew with Leighton. I think I missed one somewhere.
Which reminds me….
What If made Featured Story of the Week over on TWCS Library!!! Woo Hoo!!!! I will be adding it to the Awards page. I think that is the first award for that one!
I am stoked, and it is the thing I so needed right now!!! SO yeah What If!!! You Go!!!
I am so going to try to work on Clocks. I want to get some more chapters out to Betas, so that when I leave for Tucson, you guys get some chapters to read. And that is coming up soon! I looked on my calendar and in two weeks starts the preps. Connor is going in for shots…. The following month he becomes an it. And Stormy will hopefully get the same thing soon too. She is getting close. I am only waiting on my Vet’s rec of 6 months…. the 25th this month will be that time. Then she will be fixed.. hopefully…
First we need to get Connor to his vet’s visit to find out how expensive he will be. Dogs are not cheap!
So watch this site for hopefully some updated. I am trying to work (see above) but unless someone can tell me how to get the muse or muses to stick on point, I am jumping around. And since she won’t work with me on editing.. I’m at loose ends.
If I am feeling up to it, I can see in my stats (thanks to a nifty add-on that 4Padfoot put on the site) the pretty map down below. Yeah. That thing used to sit as the first thing I can see when I dropped into the dashboard of my site, and now I gotta go looking for it, since I also like to see the stats per day also. But it shows me I have Europe, The Americas (ignore the island that is white.. it is not worth your time!) Australia, Most of Asia, and maybe half of Africa. So I am on my way to dominating the world.
Kinda.
I do have a chapter for today, and I will be posting it further down…
But before we get to that, I will like to take a moment to show you guys what I am looking at for the challenge:
Harry Potter:
How many review would be generated if every follower wrote one review?
How about this:
??
Or this:
Can you see what I am talking about? This one small change may take 30 seconds (and I timed myself on the iPad which I hate since I type one finger at a time!) to say, this is intriguing. It doesn’t have to be long. Just something that you say as you hit follow. On any site.
So will you take up this challenge? All those people that read my posts, and we will see if anyone will. I have one so far who has accepted.
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…
