This is the newest chapter for Best Is Yet to Come. After this will be all brand new chapters. As I do now, Click the pic for the chapter.
This story is going to be different than normal. See all I do is write the chapter, then MissRon80 adds the change from cardboard characters to fleshed out beings. Since I am normally the one who does this (and I can spend a LONG time doing this!!) This will make this story easier to write.
However, to keep current with what is going on, I will need to read her chapter, then write mine, let her know, she will do her magic, then post. I go back in and add the links and these posts and then add to FanFiction. And repeat as needed.
Normally, I try to write ahead, but with me wanting to write with her in mind, I think this will be the easiest.
Please leave a review. It inspires the two of us. We love this story, but I will admit, sitting in bed yesterday dealing with insurance companies over the damages Mother Nature gave us the night before in a scary hail storm with a touchdown of a minor tornado behind the house (we got it confirmed yesterday with out neighbors and seeing the remains of the trees and stuff), getting reviews made me happier, and REALLY wanting to get back to writing. Instead I ended up with a migraine last night, and a rant to my husband this morning complaining about the weather (it was 80 something yesterday and 64 was the high today) and the heater being on, me not able to write due to the medicine I have to take to make another allergy attack from the whatever kicks out when the heater kicks on. It was bad. I sent it to MissRon80 later when we were discussing the chapter, and she was laughing because my husband carefully texted me that he loves me… a lot… and will be stopping on the way home to get me ice cream.
The reviews I got today inspired me to get up, as well as MissRon80’s chapter made me go HELL YES!! But, I had to wait until my hubby is home so if I fall asleep at the computer, he can wake me. The meds are that strong… The need to write and edit is stronger. 🙂
So, today, missron80 pings me in Facebook Messenger to tell me she is done with the newest edited chapter of The Best is Yet To Come. (Click on picture to go to chapter).
I go out and I am blown away. She didn’t Beta, she worked diligently and made what I wrote go with canon, adding details she had messaged me about and asked all week long. As she tells me, I made the dress, but she added all those tassels, beads and such. To me, that was freaking amazing. Those Tassels, beads and such added to the story making it so much better. I asked if she wanted to continue this way and she said sure.
My response? Is to make her my collaborator on the story. If you are going to pour that much excellent work into my poor little story, by God, you are going to be recognized. I gave her permission to publish it as co-author as long as she names me.
I swear she has stressed about this story more than I have, and it has ignited my love for it again. And she is chomping to get to the new chapter.
Yes this is a redo of the chapter, but there are OVER 1,500 words added and content changed all to the better. Read… She is awesome!
And this is not to say my other Beta’s are not the same. They all are, and they help out, but they help make the grammatical errors and that the story stays in place where it needs to be. They encourage me and help me with any details I need or wonder about. They are the first to jump in conversations either over the group, in person or in our private message forum.
What missron80 has done is actually work with my idea and redid whole portions of it, telling me constantly that she won’t be offended if I took it out. Instead I applauded her efforts, and this is the only way I can express my thrilled expression. This story is complex already and I have a lot on my plate. This makes it where it will be a story I can type out my ideas, and she can reign me in and make it all work without me having to do that.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the details (4 hours to research something that led to nothing today is my proof that I offer) but to have a story where someone else is helping me remember? I can do that. I never understood how collaborations could work… But I can do this…
Read and enjoy. I am off to add this to FanFiction…
No, it is not the start of a fic, but it should have been!!!
Missron80, has finished the first chapter of The Best is Yet to Come. She has gracisouly worked on this, and I am thrilled about it. I know I say that, but you have to realize, that until I get these things on ‘paper’ they stay in my head and mess with me. Well, not mess with me, but its a great reason, right?
This started out as a dream. It was the first dream sequence I wrote more than a chapter to, but still didn’t finish the dream. It doesn’t end until further in the episodes, and where it goes from there, well, lets just say I am taking Once Upon a Time and turning it on it’s ear like Alice and Hatter. 🙂
So read and enjoy, only Chapter 1 is updated…so far.
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…
