Edited You’re All I Am Asking For

Damon 2

I figure it will be easier to say it that way maybe?  Click on the picture above for the edited Chapter.

Just so everyone is aware, when I posted You’re All I Am Asking For, pics were added, but no editing was done.  I wrote, added pics and posted.  Now, Stialia 25 and I are going by chapter by chapter, adding and she is editing them.

She also gives me hints of what she thinks I should add, and I try.  So if you read it here, when I pop these updates up, you may want to glance back through.

Now off to post it to FanFiction, then I am working on an In The End chapter for my beta and I to discuss where the story is going.  Once I get that done I will go back to getting chapters ready.

New Chapter of In The End!

Eric on closed circuit tv

Yep you heard it here first!!! There is a new chapter of In The End up!! Click the pic for the link…. (And my new picture to stare at…. LOL!)

My awesome as always Beta, Faeregina, has worked her magic on this!  I was excited to read it and I’m the writer!  Sad huh?  But I am always looking forward to what she does with my work.  She understand this story so much it aint funny.  Which she should since it was started because of her and the hours we spent talking.

And by some weird twist of fate, I managed to get excited, run through the house on socked feet (Hardwood floors.  Really Hard wood floors…) trying to get to the TV and record Sherlock, and not break anything.  Remember folks, I broke my leg in two places, sprained my other foot, and tore all the tendons in the foot on the same leg that was broken by falling two freaking steps.  I broke my big toe (And the nail) the day before my gall bladder surgery kicking Marty (which meant no aspirin no nothing for the pain.).  Me falling and breaking things would not surprise anyone.

This trip was caused by who?  By my very own Faeregina who hooked me on Sherlock (And Once Upon a Time).  She told me we could talk after Sherlock and I ran out of the room to record it.  I didn’t get her message saying oops, I meant Elementary, until I came back from a frantic search.

Did I learn a lesson?  Heck no!!! And now I am off to put this chappie on FanFiction.  I just wanted to give you a laugh.. that’s all.

New Chapter for Best Is Yet to Come

Killian 35

This is the newest chapter for Best Is Yet to Come.  After this will be all brand new chapters. As I do now, Click the pic for the chapter.

This story is going to be different than normal.  See all I do is write the chapter, then MissRon80 adds the change from cardboard characters to fleshed out beings.  Since I am normally the one who does this (and I can spend a LONG time doing this!!) This will make this story easier to write.

However, to keep current with what is going on, I will need to read her chapter, then write mine, let her know, she will do her magic, then post.  I go back in and add the links and these posts and then add to FanFiction.  And repeat as needed.

Normally, I try to write ahead, but with me wanting to write with her in mind, I think this will be the easiest.

Please leave a review.  It inspires the two of us.  We love this story, but I will admit, sitting in bed yesterday dealing with insurance companies over the damages Mother Nature gave us the night before in a scary hail storm with a touchdown of a minor tornado behind the house (we got it confirmed yesterday with out neighbors and seeing the remains of the trees and stuff), getting reviews made me happier, and REALLY wanting to get back to writing.  Instead I ended up with a migraine last night, and a rant to my husband this morning complaining about the weather (it was 80 something yesterday and 64 was the high today) and the heater being on, me not able to write due to the medicine I have to take to make another allergy attack from the whatever kicks out when the heater kicks on.   It was bad.  I sent it to MissRon80 later when we were discussing the chapter, and she was laughing because my husband carefully texted me that he loves me… a lot… and will be stopping on the way home to get me ice cream.

The reviews I got today inspired me to get up, as well as MissRon80’s chapter made me go HELL YES!! But, I had to wait until my hubby is home so if I fall asleep at the computer, he can wake me.  The meds are that strong… The need to write and edit is stronger. 🙂

Update for Best is Yet to Come

Killian 42

So, today, missron80 pings me in Facebook Messenger to tell me she is done with the newest edited chapter of The Best is Yet To Come. (Click on picture to go to chapter).

I go out and I am blown away.  She didn’t Beta, she worked diligently and made what I wrote go with canon, adding details she had messaged me about and asked all week long.  As she tells me, I made the dress, but she added all those tassels, beads and such.  To me, that was freaking amazing.  Those Tassels, beads and such added to the story making it so much better.  I asked if she wanted to continue this way and she said sure.

My response?  Is to make her my collaborator on the story.  If you are going to pour that much excellent work into my poor little story, by God, you are going to be recognized.  I gave her permission to publish it as co-author as long as she names me.

I swear she has stressed about this story more than I have, and it has ignited my love for it again.  And she is chomping to get to the new chapter.

Yes this is a redo of the chapter, but there are OVER 1,500 words added and content changed all to the better.  Read… She is awesome!

And this is not to say my other Beta’s are not the same.  They all are, and they help out, but they help make the grammatical errors and that the story stays in place where it needs to be.  They encourage me and help me with any details I need or wonder about.  They are the first to jump in conversations either over the group, in person or in our private message forum.

What missron80 has done is actually work with my idea and redid whole portions of it, telling me constantly that she won’t be offended if I took it out.  Instead I applauded her efforts, and this is the only way I can express my thrilled expression.  This story is complex already and I have a lot on my plate.  This makes it where it will be a story I can type out my ideas, and she can reign me in and make it all work without me having to do that.

Don’t get me wrong, I love the details (4 hours to research something that led to nothing today is my proof that I offer) but to have a story where someone else is helping me remember?  I can do that.  I never understood how collaborations could work… But I can do this…

Read and enjoy.  I am off to add this to FanFiction…
