Award Nominations/Winning

It’s Friday!

by Kittyinaz | Jun 12, 2015 | Award Nominations/Winning, Kittyinaz Writing Challenges, Such a Heavenly View, Twilight/Harry Potter, Update

And yes, I am updating on time for Harry Potter.

However…. There is good and bad news. (more…)

Good morning!!!

by Kittyinaz | Jun 8, 2015 | Non-Canon Awards TB/SVM, Pets

Ok.. I have been missing online since Friday. That is because we have a new addition to the Kittyinaz family.

It is way too small to determine if it is male or female for sure. M made the executive motion to her it a she, since that is his guess what it is. I was going to name her Smokey, but Stormy has been coming off my tongue after spending a couple days with her.

She is adorable, and you should see her with Connor. His head is bigger than her. And he is Papa Connor. He is watching over her, as well as being shocked when she comes up and bites him. He looks so shocked that you guys would fall over laughing. And he is keeping a healthy distance from her paws. Now, when I say that, remember the size difference, and you will laugh at how funny it is and keeping a safe distance is lifting his head out of her range. At least he thinks so, she can jump!

The first couple of days of owning any pet is very important to the bonds that they make. I am spending as much time as possible with her, and you can tell the difference. On the first night, she spent time with both M and I. Since that night, she has come to sleep by or on me each night. Since she is no bigger than my palm, well you get the idea.

Even though this is far from my first rodeo, she managed to get me all worried by not drinking. I slowly gave her 2% milk, then 1% then water. My mom laughed and said she would have been fine, but over 24 hrs without water worried me! And then was kitty litter training. I tried the professionals instructions, but when I did my version of them, it worked. Boo-ya! Follow my own instincts!

So it has been a very tired time. I swear. Anyone who tries to tell me pets are not children. Well you never get as involved with them as I do. Cause getting up in the middle of the night, check. Worrying about them? check. Trying to remember when you last got a full night of sleep? Check. Playing and attacking you when you are trying to read, check. And double check. Even a triple check. She likes the taste of the iPad I think.

Ok. For the stuff you came about, (BTW, thanks for letting me blabber on the kitten!). New review was:

And yes, someone who knows her, tell her the banner is hers. As I normally do if the banner they have is not working to use as a link to their story. I need to do a few reviews. You guys rock in letting me know it is appreciated. I have alot of catching up to do.

For stories. This week will start me editing the other stuff, after I work on the novel. I am hoping to get a few things done, but no promises. Remember, new Kitten. Right now she is crying pitifully in the bedroom, as I give Connor and Murphy some time with mommy in the office. They are taking turns on being at my feet. Luckily they are curious more than anything right now.

I have two more chapters of Dying to Start to do, then Clocks. and then Best, before I start editing Sacred. No sex, at all, and I am close to chapter 30. This is slow moving, but I am trying to move it faster!

Hope to see you guys later with updates on chapters. All my plans were blown out by getting the kitten this past weekend, (She is 6 weeks old, but outside, so I was glad to have her!) so where I planned to work all weekend to be ready for her next weekend, well. Yeah.

Just to let you guys know, the week of June 21-28 will be me on vacation. My Mother in Law is coming into Houston for training. She is taking the whole week off to spend time with us, so I am not sure how much I will be online during that time. And of course, when I am on vacation, I tell my beta’s they are too.

C-ya guys later, I need to try to get things done before noon my time, so I can get the kitten out of the room, and in here so I can have some peace from her meowing. (Of course then I will have a kitten climbing up my leg.. but one thing at a time!)

This past week….

by Kittyinaz | May 29, 2015 | Award Nominations/Winning, My Thoughts

OMG… It was that kind of week.

It’s all I can say, but my ladies in the Beta group know what happened, and lets just say… O….M…..G!!!!!!!!

Needless to say, my mind was no where in the right place to write, or do anything for fiction. I may have killed everyone off and stuck my tongue out at the screen. Since none of the Void (my name for the internet from You’ve Got Mail) was responsible for the bad week, well I stayed far away.

Gyllene and a few others sent me the following good news, which did help me laugh in the middle of all of it. (If you click on the banner it will take you to the nominations separated out by the authors)

All-Time Favorite True Blood Fanfic – In The Shadow Of The Oak
Favorite Work-In-Progress Fanfic – In The Shadow Of The Oak

To all these wonderful ladies who take their time out of their busy schedules to listen to me, look over my stuff or being there when I feel that FML is the best way to describe my life right now. Thank you. I am honored to be nominated, and never, ever, EVER Expected to have my Mummy Crossover get any accolades. I did it because I dreamed it up, and it is aweing me that you guys think enough of it!

The writing contest is ending this weekend. Please feel free to send them in ahead of the time. If you need to look over the pic or the rules, well the pic is below, and you can click on it to get to the rules. I do have a plan for next month, and will be working with my betas this weekend to hammer out details. We will see the results of the contests, the turnout on both sides to determine how often to hold it. I like the monthly ones, but I will say that when the Area 5 Bloody Pen holds their contests, I will take a back seat.

For now, I will be looking over the Fanfiction stuff for this weekend. Friday-Sunday (Which I say Sunday, but often I am chased off the computer!) is Fanfiction time. So we will see what I get up to. I have a huge checklist for a new story, so I will be working on that tomorrow. I want to be artistic right now.

Have a great weekend if nothing else. I am off to work! And thanks again for all those spoke up and nominated me! Truly an honor. Thanks.

Tuesday

by Kittyinaz | May 26, 2015 | Award Nominations/Winning, Brotherhood of Aos Sí, Orginal Story, The Sun Holds The Moon, Twilight/Lord Of The Ring Crossover, Update

Ok… We are officially off track this week.

Give me a break please?

This week will be weird for me, since I am going to be switching over to the novel. M (aka Mr. Kittyinaz, but he hates to be Kitty anything, so he wanted to be known as M. I was going with PF, but he gave me the look for that one.) is thrilled to death I am going to work on my novel. He is giving everyone a stern eye to back off, and let me work on this. He has this idea it will allow him to retire. Not quite dear. But I will allow you the dream.

Before I get into anything else, I wish to say. THANK YOU!!!!!!

I am so freaking honored to have these two stories nominated, much less EVER expected to place in these contests!!! This encourages me to get back to what I love.. Writing. And thanks so much to 4Padfoot for all her hard work.

So what does this mean for you guys? It means my betas have chapters, I just didn’t finish up Dying to Start or any of the others, but I will work on them on the weekends. I wanted to finish things, but time was escaping and with everything going on, I needed to just work. I have my white board all cleaned off, ready for me to plot out ideas, the one note pages ready, and I will be going through to make up the bios for my characters and so forth. I am NOT leaving any fandoms.

What I do need is some help on the database. I was using my favorites on FanFiction.net, and if someone would like to help out, I will be happy to let you know where I stopped. They are out there for anyone to see anyways. There is no fear about duplicates since, I have programs that make short work of them. Just frankly, I was doing all the work on the Fanfiction site, and while MissAliceUnsub was kind enough to help on the blogs, it is ALOT of work!!! And to be truthful, a month of working on it is to much. I have other things you guys like.

And to be absolutely truthful, the people who support me have submitted their information to me. (If you haven’t well… you can ask me for the sheet and I will send it to you.) But after this past week, I kinda feel like there is no reason for me to break my back and put off my readers who showed so much support for me. I do so much, and even my friends are asking why.

As it is, I am looking for some positive reinforcement for the Reviews & Interviews I do on the Non-Canon Awards. You guys have until the current crop is done. If I don’t hear anything, then I am going to be thinking about telling the ladies over there I won’t be doing it anymore. Here is the one I did for this week: Back and Forth

The things that will continue are the contests I host. They make me feel good when I can help someone get their leg up on the wonderful feeling of writing and others liking it. It truly is awesome, and I wish to continue to give that chance to the writers who are stumbling with writers block, or those that want to start. I support more than TB/SVM fandoms.

For those that were Pre-readers before on my Original Fiction, check with Rissa on Facebook and she will organize all that. You guys will see things being published as I finish things. You are more than welcome to look through the information I supply.

As many of the authors probably saw, I am working on my emails. I and down to 88 unread updates. And none of those are for more than one story. Yikes. I am also trying to be better and leaving reviews. I lost track of the reblogs, and decided to restart today. Sorry. My inbox is scaring me and my OCD is freaking out. Not a good combo.

So I have my tea, a Connor on my feet. A murphy sleeping, and who knows where Tucker is. I am also making plans for the ball of fur coming my way.

Here is the chapter for today. I know it should be Tin Man, but I am off by a day all week. Hope you enjoy…

See you guys later.

Oh MY!!!!

by Kittyinaz | May 23, 2015 | Award Nominations/Winning, My Thoughts

I just have to say.. THANK YOU!!!!!

This is the most reviews I have ever gotten on a chapter of Heavenly, and believe me, the muse is sitting up and taking notice. She is muttering to me about making a plan to work on the novel for Monday-Thursday and leaving the weekend to write on Fanfiction.

See what power you readers have? With your reviews you inspire the writers. The more you leave reviews, the more likely we are to turn our attention to the story. When you reread (and I am guilty of this too!!!) and leave reviews, especially on a story that has a sequel planned, you make me pay attention to the story and where my muse starts whispering, ‘maybe we should go back and look at that one.’

Likes on this site also send me emails. This is something I do, I hit like on the stories if I am caught up int he action going on. Or my iPad is being pain and not allowing me to leave a review. But the like buttons work no matter what.

So please, keep up with what you are doing!!! It is amazing and exciting to wake up, expecting that you may have got 4 reviews, and instead had more. There is one more chapter to be published, but maybe now I will go back and see if I can write a few more.

Plus, just a hint, if you really want me to work on a story, get your friends and you to do a bunch of reviews. You have to entice the muses people. They live on praises, and our praises only go so far.

Now, I know I reblogged it just a couple of minutes ago, but please, make your voices heard. 4Padfoot has opened the polls for 24 hours, and the previous one information is gone. So this is your chance. Tell your friends. There is one chance, and you have up to three time in each category to decide on. Lets not let this opportunity pass you or the rest of us by. I voted…did you?
