For those of you that follow my Facebook Group, you got to read this earlier. I am hoping that the links will work, we have had a slight issue with the links lately.
If it doesn’t let us know and someone will look into it.
I will be out of town for this weekend, and hopefully, it help rejuvenate me since the place I am going is the place I have finished and wrote entire stories in. Though it won’t be long and there is a wedding involved.
For now, here is the next chapter of Some Sacred Place in Time.
Please remember, this is NOT Beta’d (unless a beta goes in and works on it, and if so, Please note on there who and that it is done!!!). Please review or even hit the like button. Reviews are what started to inspire me to get back to this!!!
Yep, that is right, we have a chapter of Sacred ready for you to go, even through technology has been fighting me every step of the way.
Seriously, I am literally pulling my hair at my outlook (the office version) since it will not connect me with my email, that is hosted by Microsoft. But it will hold the Gmail account on it. This all changed on 10/12/2016 so I am blaming the massive updates I got to Windows 10 AND Office 365.
Yes, I am confused also.
Our wonderful, awesome Robin has tried to wave her magic wand on my computer, but nothing has occurred besides it is very afraid of messing up again. So we are telling on it. so there.
I have received two entries so far for the October contest, I am just waiting to see if any more come in. And I am glad I am only hosting and making banners. Cause I really don’t know who I would vote for. They are both awesome.
As for me, I am slowly working on stuff. I have another chapter of Tired Wings up on my screen, and knowing I need to sit down to work on the OF. I may end up doing something like timing posts and so on. It does take me actually longer to edit and post a chapter than it does for me to write it.
I am going back to Sundays off. I cannot be on the computer in this office all week. I may get other days ‘off’ but most of the time, I am stressing, thinking about getting back on it, so even if I am not online, or in the office, I am thinking about it. Sundays I can relax, catch up on reading, and most importantly, not burn out.
Cause I am getting close. I need to take some time off, but haven’t come up with a good enough reason for myself. But I will be structuring other things to make sure I have some breaks from writing or editing, to allow myself to relax more. The weather is finally cooling off that we actually reach the 70’s at night! LOL… This Friday is going to be awesome since we will be at 74! Love cold fronts!!! Soon I can open windows and let fresh air cool the house off instead of the AC. YEAH!!!!
I am also planning to pick up my photoshop lessons. Set an alarm and so on. This way I can work on it, as well as other things. I am basically easing into life away from the computer, and hopefully, it will make productivity the same as when I am in AZ. Since when I am there, I can be out running around and somehow write massively.
So I am off to relax for a little bit, Hopefully, find something to eat so I can get some energy to come back and work. Enjoy the chapter!
Yes, I had other chapters I could have done, but I wanted another chapter of Sacred done for you guys since I need to edit so many of them. There was alot of back and forth’s. One time of me erasing all of tj6james6 hard work for a couple of words change. Yeah, I try to forget that one.
But, I have it done, banners done and so forth.
You can run off to read…. But…
Have you voted yet in Bertie Bott’s contest today? If not, click the link, and vote. I participated and am excited to let you know which one is mine hopefully this weekend. If allowed. I think. LOL.
And have you worked on your submission for the writing contest for this month? Outlaws and Angels. There is no minimum, no maximum. You can do a poem, a haiku or a story. Just put your pen to paper, fingers to the keyboard, crayon on the wall (only if it is your house.) Whatever it takes! (and don’t forget to pick up your participation banner if you did submit!)
Also, if you are a blogger, have you sent me a link, banner and so forth? I will be working on some of those tonight. I am not only doing it for Robin’s site, but for my own site, so if you want your blog advertised for free on my site, do it now. Later on, I don’t know if I will be doing blogs once it is running, so I won’t have the chance I do now. Above are some of the banners done for the site…
I am currently working on doing some chapters, but I will admit Sacred took alot of that time when I could be editing to get ready for you guys, but I hope you like it!
I’ve been telling people for awhile to go watch the video for Sacred for over a month. The reason for this… is that last yesterday I published the first written chapter of this story. And as usual, I leaked it to the Facebook Group.
Why? Because they go the extra little to be a member, and also since they are the one cheering me on when I am down, I like to give them thanks. Seriously, right now the ladies have been trying to figure gifs for me to separate into seasons of True Blood for Alex. (out of a couple hundred we are down to four. Yes… FOUR!) Which that started out because of Chapter 1 of Sacred. I was looking for specific gifs, and found it too hard to find what I am looking for since I had all the gifs for Alex jumbled together.
And for those that know me… That is a huge no-no! I’ve been sorting pics into more folders as time has gone by. Alex’s regular pics are separated now into headshots, upper body and full body. Leighton Meester is the same. Allan Hyde will be next since his are starting to bug me also. Also Damon’s are pretty big files also. And for me, if I can’t place my hands on something quickly, it is time to organize.
I do so much organizing in fact when my mom wants her office to be organized she asks me to come in. I come in while she is working, observing how her current office works, and then last weekend M and I went up with her and redid her office. Again. Yes, I did in fact, did that last year, but circumstances change as they often do, and it caused a need for her to face her door now. Which of course disrupts her entire workplace so she wanted another one just as efficient as the past one. Luckily, this time ,we just had to reorganize it, not the outer offices. Which would have been a lost cause. And she purposely doesn’t allow me into her bosses office, who is an engineer. In other words, he has LAYERS of paper hazardly scattered over every surface including the floor. OMG. My hands twitch at the mess.
At least, before I came in she stayed late to file in her office before I moved a single thing.
Because of the need to organize, you may notice some changes to the main page. I cleaned up the current chapter banners to make them match. I also moved some stories around on the bottom, to allow for the missing one, as well as adding all the new banners. 4Padfoot is more than awesome at all this, but sometimes, RL just gets in the way and we forget that something needs to be updated. Oops. So I sat down and went through it all, added new betas, updated what betas are doing what now. I left the older betas there since they did help me out when I needed it, and hey free advertising for them!
Now we don’t see anything wrong with the Main Page, but feel free to tell us if you notice something wrong. Since 4Padfoot is working on the site this weekend. And let us know about the Goodies page. We already know links are broken there, but please tell us what you see so we can make sure nothing is missed. Anything at all you notice on the site that is not working, needs updated and so on. We try, but hey life happens.
Also, if you haven’t noticed this past week I have become very active online. I had been tired, trying to spend time with the family, and then trying to sleep normally. I was feeling drained. The I bought some probiotics that have other stuff in them, as well as talking to M about how I can’t do what I have been doing since I feel worn out.
The result?
I now sleep when he leaves for work until 1-2pm in the afternoon, which is right around 8 hours. I get alot of work done during those times, there is no one awake here, and even the pets are sleeping mostly. Also in conjunction to all of this, I am taking the pills. Talk about energy boost!! They make it where you get energy from what you eat from digesting your food better. I also make sure I eat three times a day, and rarely snack anymore.
Now the pills I am taking are expensive, and are a specific brand and they don’t work for everyone. However, I was slumping towards becoming as sick as I was when I was working. I figured since all the side effects are what I am suffering now, what could it hurt? For me, this works awesomely. It could have a negative side effect on my anti-depressants, but the boost of energy makes me a happy person often. So it works out for me.
How does this affect you guys? This past week, I worked on Sacred Chapter (finished) LOTR chapter (sent to beta and the chapter is set up all ready to go) and Edge Chapter (sent to the beta and returned, I just need to make banners for it.) I also am going through all the sites I publish in and updating them with either banners or uploading stories to them. I also worked on the site itself extensively and updated banners for it. I smooshed all the Alice One Shots into one slider. I also made a banner for my one Twilight OS story. I also made the completed page for easier finding of what is done and when.
Today I am finishing up the other sites, then working on banners for the aforementioned stories and the writing challenge. I will be publishing some of the Revelations chapters as well. Tomorrow? I will not be working on the sites or anything Fanfiction. It will be time to read, to catch up on other things and spend time with family. And if I get bored, then I can come in and play games. But I need to take a break.
What am I aiming for? To make it where I can write all those stories you guys keep asking for. I WANT to finish stuff, but I need time without having people asking for updates. Sacred has 30 chapters written to it already. I will not be updating this every week until I run out of other stuff to update. I will dribble it out, then when I do have only it left, I will publish each week. That way I can have at least 30 weeks to write new stuff for you guys.
So, go on to read, and we will see what all I will be publishing on Monday and what can be published for you sooner.
Also, when I go to make banners for the chapters, I try to find a theme behind them. For instance, ED was Roads, Edge is Dirt Roads. Crossing the Line is Trains, LOTR is Middle Earth, Crossing the Fine Line was Space, and so on. Surfergirl11 inspired me in Sacred with her banner, but when I went to make the banners for the chapters, I couldn’t replicate her work. So I changed the banner and picked Fire and Water (aka Lava and water). My OCD makes me want everything to match. So here is her original banner, which I give credits to on the homepage of the story. Which also contains a link to her other banners she has out for adoption. They are amazing!
First off, I did a review on the Non-canon Awards. It is for an oldie, but goodie. I am diving into the completed stories on Fanfiction.net to go back to the stories that introduced this universe to me. While I am not reading them all, (some had sequels that were never finished and so on) I am reading some of them and will be reviewing them. I figured they deserved some love too!
The first one was…. *Drum roll* is:
Click on the banner to be taken to the review. And yes, I make banners for the stories I review if I feel inspired or they don’t have one. Otherwise, I try to use their banners. Since I only found this on Fanfiction.net, I did their banner size for them. (It works… I promise!)
The next good news?
I worked on the next chapter of The Sun Holds the Moon! I have one in reserve still (since I like to make sure that I don’t write myself into a hole in this one) but Chapter 6 is done and the beta is notified. Now… I do have to remind you that a lot of work goes into the Lord of the Ring stories, fact checking as much as possible. Yes, I have taken liberties, but there is a lot I want to remain the same. So once I am done, I hand it to the beta, who goes through and fact checks things also. But it is done on my side!
Then… I finished another story edit last night. I have to go through and make a ton of banners since it is a new story. Though I will warn you… You really need to watch this video. It is the prologue to the story, and I will be making the page for it.
Yes. Sacred is about to become a live story for you to read!!!! Well, I mean it will have a chapter to read along with the beautiful video 4Padfoot made for it! The video is important to the story. Without it, some things will not make sense. And later it repeats for another person…. All I will say is it is a dream….
In addition, I wanted to highlight a story from my completed file…
The first one is a One Shot for the TB Fandom. It is based on a song – Austin by Blake Shelton. I have heard it a few times, but for some reason, this time it clicked and this story came to be. I will say it is due to Gyllene that I published it. She loved it, so I dedicate it to her…
Description: One Shot – All Human Sookie leaves, and almost a year later, makes a call that changes everything.
Don’t forget that the Writing contest ends tomorrow at midnight CST. Thanks!!!
First of all, this is Monday, so there is another review of a story on the Non-Canon Awards!
Let’s Die on Halloween is a one shot, but it is a necessary one shot for you to read the next installment. Give the review a chance, and then click on the banner in the review to read this fabulous writer. And maybe, if enough of us let her know how much we love it, she will continue the series! (No worries, she ends the last story without a Kittyinaz deal. You wonder, but the problem in that story is always finished.)
.
.

And now, we have the cheering up part… I hope!!! As I mentioned, I am working on a new story. 4Padfoot has been cheering me on along with Royal Ember. 4Padfoot has been privy to my ideas on this one, and I asked her very very nicely, (with chapter bribes also!) if she would help me make a prologue for the story in video format. She talked to me about what I was looking for, and then she had errands to do.
I am off the computer or more importantly, internet, so I get a message from her, saying that she has something for me. I came online, and here it is! The prologue to the story.
Here it is, I hope you enjoy it…
For now, I need to work on the database. The You Want Bloods nomination round is opening on Friday. Are you ready? I for sure am not!!! Just a reminder, if anyone wants to help me fill in the database to make it easier, I would appreciate it!!!! The spreadsheet is in the Facebook groups TB/SVM Fanfiction and my own. I will also be happy to send you a copy. Remember, it is not copying your stories, it is adding them to my rec pages which get alot of traffic, though they are horribly out of date.
The information we are looking for? Name of Story, Location, Description, Rating, Author name, Fandom, Pairing(s), is it complete, a one shot, and if so the date of completion, is it part of series? The name of the series, and where all do you post? the location is YOUR preferred location for your readers to go to, and will be the primary link on the stories.
I am after the TB/SVM ones first since I am going to be using them first. But all the fandoms I write/read in are going to be done. So if you are a writer, and would like your stories to be added to the rec pages, please contact me. Shoot, you can email them to KittyinazsBetas@gmail.com Anything, even a mention of where I could find the dates of the completed stories instead of clicking everywhere on your site, would be a great help.
I am off to work on the database, working on the stuff people have sent me, (this is why I am asking for the authors to help, since I won’t duplicate what they have done already) and I will be moving onto EricIzMine’s.
So enjoy the video chapter. Later this week my group, Kittyinaz’s Facebook group, will get the first teaser. I also ask, very nicely, for you to leave reviews on the You tube side of the video, letting 4Padfoot how awesome she is. While there, subscribe to her. She does videos often for the group of us. Also leave a note on Mavrosal’s work. Reviews are like gold, and while I will not ask for them often for me, I will not hesitate to ask you for them for other’s work.
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…
