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.
Yes, I got so cold last night my fingers hurt. And my jaw. UGH.
I got through Chapter 17 for the changes. I am going to pull up all the sites, then get to work again. I want this done before I am out of it. Especially since I will be lucky to get my laptop, much less this computer.
Also, food for thought (since I am hearing a whole bunch of lyrics lately to songs I have listened to since I was a wee one) The Immigrant Song by Led Zepplin makes me think of Eric:
Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow.
The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming!
On we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will be the western shore.
Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
How soft your fields so green, can whisper tales of gore,
Of how we calmed the tides of war. We are your overlords.
On we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will be the western shore.
So now you’d better stop and rebuild all your ruins,
For peace and trust can win the day despite of all your losing.
Yeah. I was laughing last night to You Can’t Always Get What You Want by Rolling Stones. This lyric just cracked me up:
And I went down to the demonstration
To get my fair share of abuse
What can I say? My iTunes is on shuffle and it decided that I wanted Classic Rock along with everything else. And to think I was making banners and so on while it was playing made it more funny to all of a sudden to pay attention to the lyrics I have been singing the entire time.
Of course, that lead to my mom finding out I thought Bad Moon Rising was actually Bathroom on the Right. When you never hear the name of the song, it is amazing what you hear instead….
Anywho. Back to work for me. And if you don’t know these songs… What the heck? You need some lessons in classic rock. They shaped my early and teen years. Especially the teen years, since I was woken up by Time (by Pink Floyd think Dark Side of the Moon. Listen to the beginning, and you can see how I would sit straight up from a deep sleep when my dad played that on Saturday mornings!)
And Missy Stormy is trying to hide, behind my sheer curtains. Cats aren’t always smart. She thinks she is hidden, but not quite. oops. I said her name now she is wanting cuddles before she lies on her bed while I am working with Photoshop. LMAO now she is sitting there, staring at the screen I work Photoshop on and meowing at me, like, “Mom, get to work!! I want to watch the stuff move around!”
OMG!!! I have been running myself ragged. Really ragged to get stuff done.
See I have a project that I had been working on. It slowly took over everything since I was on a time limit. And I finally finished last week. In fact, I started this post and then I left.
I ended up I pushing myself so hard, I was to the point that I was only working on it unless I was sick. And even then, I tried to work.
Workaholics Anonymous is a place I need to visit I think.
I did drop everything, and I apologize for it. However, I am still on a ‘vacation’. In other words, trying to convince myself that don’t need to be up and working. I am actually feeling guilty not to be on the computer working myself to death.
But here is the happy side of things, in a month or so, you will see the completed project. Betas need to work over what I did, as well as I need to make banners and so forth. BUT IT IS COMPLETE! Meaning, no sequels, no waiting for chapters to be written.
I am also reading some old works of my own, (Though I should be working on the 115+ emails on my inbox that are updates! And yes, Royal Ember, I know you are one of them!!!!) Among them so far are IND, (Which I started to write a chapter but was continuously interrupted so I had to stop.) and I just finished You’re. Yes, I am trying to get in the mood to work on stories I have out there. I am ignoring the muse who is trying to be sly and hint on a new story. I want to finish these stories more than you can ever imagine. I just have so much on my plate in RL and in the Fanfiction world.
I do have to give the following warning (Thanks to Meridian who reminded me on a day I needed it!):
Now, I am putting out a call for a beta who like Once Upon A Time. Someone I admire had asked me if I know anyone who will beta for him, and when I say he is awesome, I really mean it. If you would like it, PM me on facebook (I have as my nickname Kittyinaz so you can find me that way) or message me off the group talk.
Also, if you haven’t noticed, the Food Blog is being revived with some new blood. tj6james6 as well as MissAliceUnsub have taken the reigns on it and are busy working with it and discussing ideas. If you have suggestions or anything at all, stop by and let the ladies know what you are thinking, or even just to say hi!
I am also odder than most, Spring and Fall is my busy times, I work harder than most ever think during the times. I am rereading things to get back into the mood to write, as well as thinking of what I need to do for the OF. I have to get into it and work the bios before I can go back to writing. I was already asking myself questions.
Along with that, I want to write on some of the other stories, Hp, LOTR and so forth. Just give me some time, now that I realize that I can do something, but I won’t do the editing in the small amount of time again. Holy Cow that almost broke me!
I will admit, that I was thinking of doing a contest, but instead, will direct you to Bertie Bott’s Spooktacular contest. However. I am doing one for November. It will be posted at the beginning of Christmas season. I am leaving the day before Thanksgiving to head to my inlaws, and I will be on restricted internet. I also am unsure how Photoshop will react on the laptop I am going to be using, so I will be doing the banners before I leave. The theme this year? Christmas. I will make it easy for you guys.
If you have been following me for awhile, you know when I go on vacation, so do my lovely ladies who help out. It’s only fair, and since the holidays are such a hard time to be trying to work, I am hoping this will make it easier for everyone. Just read and vote on the stories you like.
Now, I am going to relax. I have made some new banners, playing around with an idea I got off the MacBeth movie poster. See:
They are adoptable, I just been lazy and not put them into the site yet under the adopatable banners. Well, I should admit the NCIS one is an idea for me, but won’t be used, so I can let it go. Or if someone wants the idea of it but with other people, please remember that you can ask for changes to be in them.
I’m always up for trying stuff. And right now, I am all happy, I just got my stats from Grammarly. It is something that makes me happy to see where I do good, and wince on the bad stuff. But I am trying to imporve.
Anyone who would like to come and test the new chat pages, please do. We are working on it, but since it worked before for 4Padfoot and I, we cannot test the pages. So please stop by and tell us what you think please!
Well our very own 4Padfoot made a change to the background. And one I highly approve of!!! I think I may stay on the first page longer than normal.
We are about 6 hours until the end of the contest. Please, do read and at least reviews! These Authors are awesome and they deserve to be acknowledged for it!
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…
