Good Afternoon Everyone!

Good Afternoon Everyone!

Life has been interesting and getting better.

The sad news: Stormy is still listed among the missing.  I hope she found someone new and is living in the lap of luxury.

Now all good news.

Well after this bit of business due to the GDPR.    When you log onto Kittyinaz.com, there will be a message on the bottom of the screen about the GDPR.  It will also allow you to determine what cookies you share if you click on the settings link.  If for some reason you wish to unsubscribe to the site (Insert shocks of horror and so forth) this is a link to a video on YouTube on how to unsubscribe or you can click Here for step by step instructions if that is what rocks your boat.   I will miss you if you decide to no longer follow me and will be happy if you miss my stories and want to subscribe again.

Ok, now good news.  I have two new kittens.  And I will say two is the way to go in the future.  Loving is all done as normal, but they play with each other ALOT.

Connor has seemed to have attracted Smokey, who is the tortoise shelled kitten.  She was born around my birthday this year. She ADORES him and he is lost and always looking for M and me to rescue him.  He has started to calm down and is allowing her to sleep with him the few times she has wanted to.

Bobbie, who is the orange tabby with unusual markings, has decided that he is my cat.  He wakes me up each morning wanting me to love on him (apparently sleeping is just too long of a time without love!).  Since he is sneaky and does this before my brain connects with NOT doing it, he gets lots of love.  He follows me from room to room. Often with Smokey following him like a train of ducks.  He was born 3 months later than Smokey, but is now to the point that he doesn’t look like he is younger than her.

They have made it where my depression is not governing my life as strongly.  I am up and about and cleaning my house each day, or close enough.  Hard to quilt while they try to climb up on me while I am working.  But the pure laughter that they cause as they do Kitten things.

I was not able to work on writing, until Thursday night.  That night I got to work on All I want’s sequel.  The scene jumped in my head and has truly inspired me.  Now to make it where I finish these quilts, work on Boat seats and write all at once!

Hopefully, in a few months will start the reno on the house.  THAT will be quite interesting.

For now, I wanted to let you know I haven’t forgotten anyone.  My desktop had decided to stop working, telling me there is no Harddrive.  I was like… okkkkkkk.   But this weekend was dedicated to cleaning out the office to allow my mom to pack up her belongings so I can move into the room more.  All that will be left is her computer and the stuff needed with it NOW.  We have been doing this to each and every room, which is making it interesting for me to start arranging things the way I want it.  It won’t be done all the way until at least they move out.  They have done much for us, including selling us this house.  It may need work, but it is livable and will be awesome when we are done with it.

That is it for the heads up on what is going on.  I have to make a baby quilt and keep trucking as I finish them.  I will be posting pics as I go.  And we have a page somewhere for where I am showing the ones I have finished so far.  Just need to find where we put it!  Thanks for your patience as I move on to something to help bring in money for the renovations and so on.  Once life settles again, I hope to be able to set a better schedule for things.  But since I just got a schedule started for cleaning and so on this week and not having to drag my butt outta bed to make myself do it, I may need some time.

Update

Update

I have the results of the contest and am waiting for the ladies in the group to do their own voting.  IF you are a member of the Kittyinaz’s Facebook Group, please head to the group and put your vote in for your choice!!!

While I am waiting, I am updating the banners in Photoshop with the places and I made new Ribbons for the contest:

I did this since the old ones were bothering me with the nice ones I made for the Kittyinaz’s Facebook Groups.  Notice that we only go 1-3rd place with Runner up now inserted for more if there are enough entries.  It will be used for 4th place, or more depending on the entries.  For Instance, this contest gets one Runner Up.  Also, the colors of the ribbons will make it easier for you guys to see who won what.  The middle is just me sayign which contest it is for.

I have been working on Chapter 10 of the Tired Wings.  I spent last weekend prepping for my next quilt, though this weekend I may be working on something someone is paying me for.  Of course, paying gets priority over my wants.  I have some more quilts to make for others, but I will be working towards making some to sell.  I’m setting up a page here on the site to showcase the ones I already made.  Once I am ready, I will be making an Etsy page, but I will also sell from this site since it is part of the theme we have.  But this will not be for awhile, since I only played, and will be dealing with that in the future.  I have all these neat toys, and I want to play with them!!!

So hopefully tonight I will finish up Chapter 10, so I can work on the next ones and get it off to the Beta.  Then I will be turning my attention to Sacred so I can get that one ready for you guys.  Hopefully, after that (or even during!!) I will feel up to writing.  I will admit, my muse is chuckling along with the chapters and they are getting MAJOR edits.  This chapter was originally 2,630 words.  It is safe to say I exceeded 1K words added to the chapter.  I am close to the end, so we will see if there are any more to be added.

I think I forgot to put it in here, but I did get a story written to me for my bday…

She has told me she has plans to continue it and I am looking forward to it if she gets the time!  I am not sure if I like the banner yet, so do not be surprised if it changes.  But seriously, go read it, and let her know what you think!! I am so much looking forward to reading more of it!

I am off to finish up the chapter and the names on the banners.  See you hopefully about this time tomorrow.  I make no promises, cause I really understand how people here in Houston are getting sick.  Yesterday the heater was on in the night for us, and today the AC had to be kicked on cause it was heading into the middle 70’s inside the house.  Our weather is rocketing from one extreme to another.  From what I understand, it is going on in the US in other places.  It sounds funny, but I wish it would just stay cold.  Summer is coming soon enough and it will probably be a scorcher again.

Have a great day/night!!!

Writing Contest

Writing Contest

Just a heads up, I have all the submissions for the contest.  I am going to be working on the banners and posting the chapters this weekend.  Robin is on vacation, so I am unsure if I will be posting before she gets back or not.  There are some parts she does, so I might be trying to figure out what she does.  (It shouldn’t be that hard…).

But I wanted to let you know things are being done, and there are reasons for the delays.  As you know, I am more than happy to grant extensions, since I, of all the people out there, know how capricious Muses can be!

And just a heads up for those wondering, I finished up the rough draft of I Never Did Chapter 24.  What that means, is now for every chapter I write, I will be going back to editing a chapter.  Hopefully, that means you will have a chapter of I Never Did until it is done.  Nothing guaranteed, but with me being five chapters ahead, I feel better about editing the chapters I have.

Have a great weekend!

Sorry I Am Running Late!

Sorry I Am Running Late!

No cutesy pun in the name, sorry.

But I do have a chapter for you!!!

But first, the boring stuff.

Writing Contest is due on Thursday.  If you need an extension email us and we will grant one.  I will probably be busy all weekend, so it’s safe to say I won’t get to the banners until next week at the earliest.

Also, for those that have not done so, the voting is still open.  You can choose more than 1 choice. For those who are on their mobile devices, it is the pinned post on the top of the group.  And the results are still changing.  I am paying attention, and that is why you are getting this chapter in particular.  It was voted 3rd for being wanted.  Also, there is another poll open for an opinion of you guys. I want to know what you think on something.

Now you can enjoy the chapter.  As always the banner on top (which will take you to the main page for this story) or any other banners take you to their subjects for you.

Let me know what you think!

Yep, Still Alive

First off, thanks for the likes and so on, on my one shot.

Second, I finally finished the Fire series prequels.  And they are kinda huge.

Seriously.

The first one is 12K and the second one is less (don’t remember) but the third one?  Seventeen THOUSAND words.   And all are in the Rough Draft stages.  When you think of 1-2K chapters I normally add about a thousand words, you get where I come from saying uh ohhhh.

The prequels take place directly after Avengers, touches on Iron Man 3 with changes to the storyline of it, changes the heck out of Winter Soldier and accompanying Shield episodes then touches on Thor Dark World.  All before coming to Ultron.  During the process of these 3 one shots, it wipes out Civil War, with the last of it being taken care of during the actual story.

It has been a work of love, and frustration.  I hate battle scenes since I always feel like they are inadequate.  It was hard to bring the entire cast into this story, but I think I did as well as I can with players not fully of my design.

Now I am off to start editing it and the other stories that I have written but not edited.  The stories that follow are all having a chapter(s) for me to edit and send to betas:

Both have tons of chapters for me to edit.  Beta is more than ready to go on it.  lol

Need to go back over the story, and edit it.  I am tackling this one from now on alone, so it may take a bit to make sure I have a grasp on it.

Need to edit chapters written.

You will be seeing a post on this in the next week or so.  I have some chapters to give to you guys once I go over the changes.

Edit the multiple Chapters I have written for it

Edit chapters I have written for it.

Edit the chapters written for it.

Edit the chapters written for it.

Beta has chatper, will post soon.

Need to write more for it….

Beta has last chapter I have written.

Need to post what I have… Soon!

Edit what I have.  Which is like 30+ chapters.  *Wincing*

Need to post on this one.

Need to post and edit the last on this one.

Got a Beta on this one!!! Time to edit!

And the lastest one that I need to start editing.

So you can see.  There is plenty for me to do.  AND I need to write more for you guys as well!   But at least you have some stories to look forward to, and Fire Series is done until Inifnity Wars.  Just so I can mess with it.  I am waiting on the sequels for Tired Wings for Thor 2.

I am off to work, also all the banners?  They are links to the stories if you want to refresh yourself.

Kittyinaz.

 

 

 

Still Alive…

Still Alive…

Barely, but still alive.

I finished the first prequel two days ago and it is 12K for a rough draft.  I am expecting it will be about 15K at least when I get to editing it.  It’s a monster of a one shot, but we are not allowing it to be other than that.

For one thing, my muse is driving me to write.  Not able to really sleep, or do anything but write this prequel.  I dream about it when I get some sleep, and falling asleep is nothing but time for my muse to present scenario after scenario to me.  Which would be fine, if I could remember the lines!  I remember the gist of it.  That’s all.

I WANT to work on any of the stories, to edit, to write, to do anything!  But instead, my muse is being a bitch of a taskmaster.  So I am working on it, hoping to finish it, and to then start on editing it.  My beta is very ready to get to work on it.  But then, any of my betas are ready to work on their stories.

I know… You guys are waiting for anything, and I have plenty to edit and write.   But the sad thing?  Is that the Fire Series is just beginning.  Luckily I may get a break so I can work on some of the others stories that have nothing to do with the Fire Series.  But we will see.

But I wanted to let you guys know I am alive.  And to also remind you of the current Writing Challenge…
