That is the bulk of the ones I know are coming out. I believe we have Tin Man making a show tonight or tomorrow. I am so excited to be able to give you guys lots to read for this long weekend coming up.

I have been having issues with my computer all day. The chapter has been ready, but I could not post this… Stupid computer!
For those who are wondering, there is over 1,100 words added to this chapter. Thanks so much to Alicia for your hard work!!! PLEASE go over and click to read her stories!!!
Also, one of my other Betas started a story that she credits to me, which I deny. But please give a look at her too! It’s a Damon/Bella story and I am eager for more! According to her, she has done a crash course on Vampire Diaries due to me. LMAO!
Enjoy the chapter. I am off to edit more and try to get ahead of this story so I can get where I am writing. Oh to be able to write!! Such a joy!
Sorry for no links.. But we are lucky to get this out and have the normal link for the picture!!!

Yep another chapter of You’re! I also added a character list for you guys too (that has a teaser in it for the newly written chapter!) And yes, you heard it, I wrote a new chapter for this!! You will have to wait until this catches up for new chapters. But they are being written!!
I also went through all the chapters to add the buttons to them, as well as the theme for You’re (Water and location). I also replaced pictures of Bella so they are all showing the same person.
In addition, I am doing a change on how the Beta’s and I go about our work. In the background, I have been editing chapters and sending them to Betas starting on Wednesdays. But, this has made me unable to write. I need a break like everyone, and I was getting to the point I was working everyday, OR editing. I was burning myself out from the computer, but my obsession was not letting me rest, wanting to write! My editing is going back through the story and adding words to make it flow better. I leave the grammar and punctuation to the Betas, unless I find it, then I try to correct, but it is not why I am editing.
Starting this week, I am editing more than one chapter, but the betas will only press publish after Wednesdays. They will notify me, and I will do my part, but I will only edit when I don’t have a muse pushing me. This will also lower my stress down, since I really do worry about updating you guys.
What does this mean for you? More regular chapters, but until I get this all organized, and allowing my muses to write, I will be behind in posting for a little bit. Give me some time, and I am trying! ED and ITE are the only ones on the rotation thingie, and I will probably run out of edited chapters for them before I can settle into this. But I cannot do what I was doing anymore. Nothing was being written and for stories like What If and When I Pretend, I could never get ahead. Now I can do this.
So enjoy this chapter… I am off to do one of the stories… And no, the edited version will not show up on this story until Wednesdays at the very soonest.

Yep another Chapter of You’re is edited and updated. Chapter 7 is ready for you to read back over. Just warning you it is a fluff chapter but some important things happen. But not as many changes as the other chapters.
I am still plugging away at working so don’t think this is the last you will hear from me today!
Enjoy!

I got some great news on this post!
First, Chapter 6 of You’re is edited. It now twice the size of the original. As I have said, if you haven’t been keeping up with the edits, well I am not changing the story, but I am enhancing it!
Also, Erullisse, a fabulous writer has decided to gift with me with an awesome Banner. Yep the one above. So officially, You’re is a Bannered story!! And she is going to attempt ED next. I am freaking excited! If you have not read her story, you are missing out on a real gem.
I would like to remind you that I have a Facebook group. I am going to try to link it here, but if not, that Facebook box on the side? Yeah, that one. Well, it has a link to the group in the description of it. You are more than welcome to join. We hold votes for the Banners, and it was there it was decided on the new Bella. I also keep them updated on what I am working on and so on. I have even been told I give teasers. No idea what they are talking about.
Enjoy!

My awesome Beta jumped right on it and fixed it up for you guys. Also, if you are not part of my group on Facebook, then you missed the conversation that involved us picking a new Bella. Meet Leighton Meester. How did I pick her? Out of a line up. Really. I typed in Brunette Actresses and looked through them. I believe she was in Gossip Girl.
I have had issues. LOL! I couldn’t concentrate on a story if my life depended on it. So I went off to Photoshop Elements, wanting to make some banners. Needless to say frustration levels reached epic highs when I managed to outline the freaking things, even get them on layers, and could not manipulate their placements. Gah!
Then today, after spending the remainder of yesterday reading MakesMyHeadSpin until 2am, I decided today to try GIMP. It seemed to be easier than Elements from everything I read. Instead, I managed to get the scissors to work, and not move the picture at all. Not on it’s own layer, nada. So I decided to work on something else.
And you get this. Sorry it has taken so long, but I really was burning out from the pace I am setting myself. I found myself working from the time I get up until I went to bed. Not bad, I thought no problem since I worked then came home to write. Yeah…. Learned my lesson. So I am taking my Beta’s advice and working on what I can when I can. Take some time out to do other things. No matter how bad I feel when everyone says, please update ASAP. Yeah, I need to work with my puppy, and to clean and do other things.
SO starting tomorrow, I will be making an effort to get into a habit to get healthy, (Walking and working with the dog. Which may make me not be so irritated with him during the day when he is trying to get my attention while I am trying to write.) along with some other things. This will help me get my thoughts in order since I used to think a lot when I was a runner… LOL. I was making up stories back when I was in 6th grade running miles for races. Ever run miles? You seem to think a lot. Or least I did. And while I never did cross country, I was trained as one for long distance. And in Dickinson, there was a yellow house I absolutely hated in 8th grade. Dreamed of painting it at least another color. Then I wondered, if the coach would call it, the house that used to be yellow? And what if we painted it every color??? Told you long runs made for weird thoughts.
Enjoy the chapter.
