It’s my rendition of the Saturday Evening Post. And I spent most of the day either in bed trying to sleep, or taking meds. Sometimes I HATE insomnia. Ok.. I always hate it. Specially when I had been doing pretty good, one day can ruin it all and I end up spending more time trying to feel good, when it feels like I am getting something. But normally I am not. Ah well.
Today’s Offering: The Mummy/Twilight.

Just a reminder of the tentative Schedule that we are working on per the schedule we have posted in our chats:
Sunday – None (But I am off this day along with all of you!)
Monday – All I Want
Tuesday – None
Wednesday – I Never…Did Posting all the chapters previous to this day on the other sites.…
Thursday – Wisdom, Justice and Love
Friday – Heavenly on Kittyinaz, Cross The Line on AoA
Saturday – The Mummy, or Clocks
This is tentative. Meaning, if I am not feeling good, or the betas are not feeling good, their family comes first and so on happens, it is able to be skipped. We try to stick to it, knowing how much you guys like to read your favorites on the days you normally get it, but the holidays are coming up. That means more Betas doing other things and that I might actually be busy. ::author pauses for gasps of shock:: Yes. This is the time of year I go visiting and do holiday stuff too.
I will warn you the weeks of Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years are all considered holidays by me, and I enforce them on the betas. So don’t expect anything those weeks. They all have lives and since we all do this for free, I want them to enjoy that time. A lot of them write also. So basically, I am spelling this out, so you guys know to give us a break. Last year at this time I was in AZ, and I wrote All I Want in those weeks. Just saying. Good things can happen. Just we dont’ want to have to do it.
Ok.
General information as always.
Kill Bill. Entries are due at midnight on the 30th. You guys asked this from me, and I am willing to give it a go. Last time there were two entries. If no more are entered, I will be retiring Kill Bill.
Amazon, As always, the link is to make it easier to click it to go straight there. If you make the page your favorite when you arrive, you will always have link giving me credit. Thanks for all the clicks, it is helping!!
Reblog page. Yes I reblog everything I can. Sometimes, I forget and delete on my iPad. For some reason, on the iPad it hides the reblog box behind the banners on most pages, but not all of them. So I try!
Other than that, I think I will be going to rest. I know Bertie Bott is trying to get to Cross the Line over in Anthem of Angels, but she isn’t feeling too well. I swear, I sometimes think we do spread our germs through viruses on the computer!! We often all get sick together!
Many huge thanks to Bertie Bott for betaing this even though she was sick. I told her that her health comes first! But she ignored me. I understand that. I sneak onto the computer when I am sick too. Shhhh it’s a secret! I get bored!
Murphy is gaining weight. He is no longer skeleton dog. We are giving him the medicine for his allergies to the flea bites, his poor nose was a mess of blisters, and they are going away. We are giving him the stuff for his mange, and he is getting fur. Slowly, but hey it has been two weeks. We are dealing with the potty training. That is a mess. I think I rather have babies with their diapers. But we are slowly getting there.
Ok reminders: (remember to click the banner to be taken to the sites!)
Kill Bill is this month. Either you can do the whole Kill Bill from Tb/SVM or you can do any story with the mention of the words Kill Bill in them.
Amazon, I really can do with all the help possible. I am posting the link often to help you guys out if you think of it!
Reblog page. It is slow and then there are busy days. If you want an idea of who I follow and when they post, that is a great place to see them.
And lastly, but not by far, I have a new team member!
This is Lisha. We have been working to learn Photoshop, and she is doing great. Her first pieces were like a month of me doing them! So please welcome her. She is aiming to help us out with the Banners, as well as The Anthem of the Angels site. I can’t wait to see what she can do!
Not much for today, but I am tired. A cold front came through and all I want to do is crawl into bed. I even blow dried my hair cause going to bed with wet hair was just not something I wanted to deal with. No it doesn’t make you sick, but I don’t like my hair being cold. Don’t ask…
So have fun, enjoy the chapter! The next mummy chapter will be Saturday. I am hoping that I can get another chapter done for the Mummy, I just finished chapter 3 today.
And yes you have another new chapter ready for you!
I am up early, we have a puppy who is much more playful, but he is still having some issues. I can’t wait until the weekend and the chance to maybe…just maybe…sleep in. I think I have forgotten what even 6 hours of sleep is like. Anyone who tells me that pets are not children, well, I am not seeing the difference. Maybe they get past it faster?
I also have a Connor who is thrilled his new buddy is playing now. And a missing Morgan who got out before all this started and not home. As well as a Tucker (MamaKitty’s Cat) who is pissed at everyone, but loving on me. Seems he is just used to me bringing in strays. Wonder what that says about me?
Ok. Reminders.
Amazon, remember this costs nothing to you guys, and often helps me out in ways you have no idea. I am getting $10-$20 a month from it. Not much, but every cent helps.
Kittyinaz’s Relobg page. I am using this just to reblog the WordPress stuff. There is a way to get one posting that has all the daily postings in it. I know cause I have a page for that. Go to My blogs, and go to Kityinaz’s reblog page, and click on it. Change it from immediately to daily. That’s it.
Kill Bill is this month!! And yes, I made the banner! If you want more information, please click on the banner above to be taken to the page.
I’m off to work on the end of Chapter 2 of The Mummy. I almost finished it last night, but I had to put murphy away and listen to him cry, he doesn’t settle down until much later. Tonight MamaKitty is buying him a crate for her room, so that will be easier.
I just read Bertie Bott’s note and even though I reblogged it on my Blog page, I have to say something here also.
This is unreal people!!!
As I mentioned on my post on the Kittyinaz Reblog, and before on this site, we do not get paid for this! Not a penny! I give a link for Amazon, that gives me a little amount of money. But it is something you can do to help out, while normally shopping on Amazon. It doesn’t cost YOU a penny. But this is not a direct result of me writing, and Bertie does not even do that.
The only thing authors would like in return for spending the hours we do on our work is a kind word, and often people don’t even do that! I don’t know of how many times I had to teach myself to look at hits on the page, instead of reviews to really tell what fans like. Even then, I found writing for myself the better way to go, since I am not disappointed in fan reactions.
But to have people being openly rude, well. That is unacceptable. Real Life is more important than posting stories that often don’t get a tenth of the reaction that we put into the stories. I have told my ladies over and over again that RL comes first. Our first commitment is to our real life, our families.
For instance, I have Murphy in the house right now. He needs a lot of time and effort. He is a sick puppy, and we rescued him from the elements, and he has soo much working against him. So I am trying to make sure he is ok, and my stories can wait until he is better. You guys luck out, Since it is best if I stay in one place, to get him to sleep. But I spent over an hour this morning with him, cleaning up from him being sick. You are trying to tell me you are more important than him? I’m sorry in my life, he will stay here for a long time, and half the time I have no idea who you guys are!
For Bertie, she is a mom of two and has her own furry child. You expecting her to drop her family for writing is wrong on so many ways.
Readers think they are entitled, and often we rant and rave on the more pushy ones. But I am so ashamed that an author has come to this point of saying something because of the reactions. If you are not careful, she may decide to quit. Why would she or I or any author want to write with abuse being stacked on us?
So next time, READ the author note in it’s entirety before you say anything, and also think, would you say that to us if we were in front of you? How would you like if you gave of your free time and someone harassed you for not being faster, not showing up more often and so forth. You wouldn’t take would you? Think on that…
This is MY thoughts on this, not Bertie’s. So don’t go off on a tear on this, if you want to, then do it at me. Not her.
I have to admit, I have had the chapter published for a long time (again the ladies in the group knew) I got busy with Murphy and forgot to post this afternoon like I wanted.
So yes. the new chapter of All I Want is ready! Click on the banner above.
Also, First chapter has been sent and returned for The Mummy Crossover. I am working on the second chapter right now. the day picked for that to be published will be Saturday, and so will Clocks when I get to it. So now we will have Saturday Posts.
The schedule (That is NOT written in stone!!!!!!!!)
Sunday – Sunday Post, day off for all betas and me.
Monday – All I Want
Tuesday – None
Wednesdays – I Never Did, Week starts for posting so all old week stuff is published on other sites.
Thursdays – Wisdom, Justice and Love
Friday – Heavenly (When it starts) and Cross The Line on AoA
Saturday Mummy Crossover, and Clocks (When it Starts)
So you can see things will be getting busy for posts. But then… you guys are not going to complain right?
Yes. That’s right. We actually have a post for Sunday!!!! And I thought that Gif was the perfect way to announce it.
First thing first. This month is the Kill Bill contest!!! Please have your entries in by midnight 11/30/2014! For more information, please click here.
So here is what is happening. I am writing this on Saturday, (like normal) and I am going outside to check on our possible new puppy. See Mr. Kittyinaz thought he had found a dog, but when he tried to look closer, the dog ran away. We let Connor out, but go out with him to watch over in case the dog comes back. I was playing with Connor, and laughing at him being silly, when Mr. Kittyinaz looks shocked and said there is the dog. I turned around, and this puppy came out form under our house. OMG. I never wanted to cry for a dog before that moment. Not for how they look. He had no collar mark, which means he didn’t have a collar on much. He has floppy ear, but most of his fur was gone, as well being covered in fleas.
I have and probably have cried for my own pets, but my heart went to this young puppy. We fed him, and then my hubby made me go inside. And pointed out we have no money for him. But even with this, he left to go looking for a vet to take him.
I ended up having to deal with night issues with the puppy. But today, Sunday, we went to the vet. He has become allergic to fleas from the many bites. He has a form of mange, that is very treatable, and will go away. It is NOT contagious, so he was brought inside, and given a bath.
The vet gave him a pill to kill the fleas on him in 24 hours, and he has medicine to get rid of the rest. He has not heartworms, but he does have others. He has already been given a treatment for that. He right now is running around the house, and Connor is with him every step of the way. Looks like we have a new member of the family!! While right now he is not looking the best, in a month, he should be a brand new puppy. MamaKitty has named her new puppy, Murphy.
What else is going on? Well. I spent a day and finished all the linking for Anthem of the Angels, and yesterday spent the day finishing my bios. I also made some banners for the stories that need them.
I have pulled up right now the first chapter of the Mummy crossover. That will be finished, the banner made and hopefully sent all off to the Beta this week.. I have a bunch more chapters to ready, then I can get back to writing. The first thing I am writing, is the end of my novel. I need to get that done, and then we can move on from there.
Don’t forget the new site that is only for me to reblog the stuff I used to. This site is only for that. All Posts, nothing more….
so.. On with the normal events:
Last week was Charissa, so if you didn’t see that, go back and look. This Week is Falling Star!
Falling Star is so freaking awesome. The first time I remember interacting with her is when we met about Ellie Wolf. She made a story banner for Points of Authority. Back then, I was amazed anyone would make me a banner.
Fast forward to this year. Me and a couple of the ladies received Elements, a version of Photoshop that is much cheaper. I had mine for year, but was unable to make it work. I finally figured it out, and Falling came out with some banners. Then when we were amazed with what she had done. She stepped up and made tutorials for us. She is where all those animated banners have come from.
She also is one of the admins for the Non Canon Awards. They decided to spread beyond the Twilight universe. And let’s face it. the SVM/TB universe is mostly made of non canon stories! We were made for them! They asked me to review and interview different authors. She made me an awesome signature, that made me use them instead.
All in all, my banners would not be where they are without her. 4padfoot and Gyllene started me off, and they were beyond patient, but she took us a step farther, and made it possible for all of us to learn. Thanks Falling!
This is one of my favorite parts. Kittyinaz, you get to go on YouTube and find videos for us. Soo hard. NOT!
Since for some reason I cannot leave a message, please leave one for these awesome people!
Starting off with Hook!

I am off to work, or watch the new puppy, or who knows!!! See you later this week!
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…
