I have been working on the banners (while reading these awesome stories!!! Wow you guys outdid yourselves!!!) but came upon a stumbling block.
I fixed it for one story which I am finally getting to read now, but the other is unable for me to paste into WordPress. If you submitted a story to me, please check your inboxes for an email. I need your help to be able to post your story for the contest.
For you guys, My hubby and I came to a compromise, and I have been in the office today and yesterday working on stories. Unfortunately, I was having a huge issue with my Malware and Word. They were not allowing me to open Word and I spent last night happy I had a laptop so that I can still work and at the same time work on my desktop.
Right now I am working to get the last of the banners done.
But I will give you a hint for the next contest since I have betas asking already…..
If you follow me personally on Facebook, I was a very sick person this week.
For some reason, I get cold like symptoms when I have allergy attacks. And per everything, I am guessing I am getting sinus infections which is the only thing that makes sense. Plus I was having other things, so I was in bed being drugged into sleeping. It was so bad I was taking 3 Benadryl along with Sinex. And it was barely working…
Today is the first day I have felt like a human. I was kinda excited to go sit in my comfy chair, and maybe write something since I am still very foggy in the brain section to be able to catch my own mistakes and add things correctly when I am that bad. And would you know my laptop kept shutting down continuously to the point I had to look up how to get into Safe Mode. Seems there are three of them, and of course, I needed the second one to run McAfee. It’s running right now while I sit here and write this on the desktop.
Though it did allow me to have time to watch Assasin’s Creed. And quite a bit of Marvel shows on NetFlix. I am not sure about Iron Fist though, it just kinda bugs me for some reason, and no, I have not started Luke Cage since I am still in the middle of Jessica Jones. These are things I never really have time for since I am trying to write.
All entries that have been received just got an email sent saying I received them. If you sent an entry in and didn’t get a confirmation email, please contact us. If you asked for an extension, and I have forgotten (which is sooo freaking likely with my drugged up head) Let me know. I am going to be online for a little bit working on banners for the contest.
And for chapters from me? I am trying to wrap up some ideas floating in my mind, and I will be releasing them hopefully next week spread out. Like they used to be… It seems to work better for me and for you guys. I can plan better and not just do a huge long list of updates. It will have to be next week since I am still recovering and need to get these banners done…
I am waiting on an entry from someone who submitted an extension, so there is still time, you just need to email me.
For now, I am off to write more chapters of Dying since I was feeling bad this morning and now am literally surrounded by animals. And me being me, I can’t move the 5lb cat (aka Stormy) on my legs, nor the 10 lb cat (Tucker) half on my shoulder, the other half on the back of my chair. (Tucker also likes to hit me with his tail if he thinks I am getting up. Typing is ok, but not much else. He was around when I started writing on a laptop in a chair much like right now…)
Connor is half on the ottoman and the other half on the couch. Who knows where Murphy is. He runs in and out of the room.
Who am I to tell them they need to get up because Mommy wants a shower or to go into the office for doing all the work to publish chapters?
Especially when I can feel the purring they are doing…
So, sorry for no new updates, but hey, I am writing new chapters!
Well, I am trying to get used to having the house, as well as the work we are putting into it.
M and I talk about each and everything. Mainly I am the idea person, I tell him what I want, and he makes it happen. Or tells me I am off my rocker.
Or tells me I am off my rocker.
Either way, it is more than our old ways of just doing to keep up stuff. With it being ours, we are making changes, trimming up things and even talking about how to mow the grass. To the EXCELLENT recommendation for the Troy Built Mower, thanks. It took awhile to convince him, but he is much happier with it than the one he wanted.
Yes, we both have mowed grass. I even did it with a riding one when I was younger. But we have LOTS of little things that we need to watch for, trees, stumps and so on. We are also trying to reclaim some of our yard back from when the yard people neglected it. I also severely cut back one rose bush, while we look at the other climbing one trying to figure out what the heck happened with it. Gone nuts is the least of it.
Then there is the keeping up the house as well as buying the stuff to redo the office.
It’s busy, but we want to get as much as we can done now, while it is cool, so that we can maintain when it is hotter. And do the things inside the house.
What this means is that time management has been failing me, however, the muse is loving all this work.
I am writing on You’re sequel and Edge. In fact, I am taking a break to get my mind in gear before I write a new chapter of Edge.
Other stories have been getting chapters as well as we work. My laptop is for writing only since I am comfy, as well as this allow me in the living room in the evenings when we come in from whatever we did that day.
Plus it seems to like to rain here. I don’t mind as long as the weather stays in the 60’s. Since that seems to be our ‘winter’. But tomorrow is supposed to be in the 80’s and it rained heavily today, so that will mean humidity. I think I will be cleaning inside tomorrow.
But I wanted to let you know that I am still alive and that the muse is busy. While she is willing to work with me, I am trying to write as much as possible. Which means not as much work for the betas. We will see if life gets into a groove we can work with.
Off to write.
And for those who are members of the Group, there is another chapter of You’re’s sequel teased out.
(the great thing about being home alone is that I can have headphones on and sing whenever I like…)
I am just now sitting down to my computer in the office for the first time since we signed the papers for the house. You know, the room that I do most of my work in.
The Laptop is awesome for writing, but not for editing. Though it has transferred a lot of my words and names from the desktop, there are still some arguments that we have. And Grammarly is NOT on the laptop. So while I can write away on that one, it’s not yet set up for editing. When I need it to be, it will be. Right now, I want it to be for writing and playing games.
So for the house. We are looking into a few things, but soon should be moving the office furniture out of this room, and getting ready to rip it apart. I am looking forward to not freezing my feet in the winter (when it is actually cold) or wearing nothing to keep cool. Pier Beam houses are awesome for flood areas but suck on insulation for the old ones. But we are going to fix that, and save us some money by spending it. Seems to be an ongoing theme lately. <sighs>
But I am here, I will see what I can edit, in between working through the piles of paper on my desk. Seriously, every single sheet of paper since the closing was laying on my desk, along with anything M found when he was looking for something else. Like all the Flex account stuff, the statements, and the actual closing papers. No wonder he shied away from me going into the office when he was home!!!
So we will see what all I can send off to the Betas. I will tell you for those of you who are Tea Shoppers, the new beta has done chapters far in advance of where I stopped. And for those that have been with me as Alice fans, I am writing new stuff. When I have time!
Per our wonderful Site Admin, I have been asked to tell you the following:
Feb 2 from 8 to 10 mountain time bluehost is doing server maintanence. There will be 30 minutes of total site down time while they reboot their servers.
We wanted to make sure you guys are aware of what is going on.
I am hoping that tomorrow will allow me back to normal, but I may need a day or two, to figure out the mess on my desk. It’s kinda scary.
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…
