For myself, I am hoping these past year(s) have been better than mine.
Here is the bad stuff:
I hate to tell you guys, but we lost Connor during the first month of lockdown. He was having trouble breathing, and when we could find someplace to take him, we found out there was a large growth in his stomach and no guarantee that he will get better. We couldn’t do that to him. That hit harder than anything and to be frank, I lost a lot of inspiration for a very long time to do anything.
I also lost a co-worker, not due to Covid, but something else. That led to a dark time that we are all just pulling ourselves out of at work.
Then after we surface for air, only to have my Aunt pass away. Her funeral was less than a week ago. And I am going to go get tested tomorrow to see if I have the same thing, since it is genetic, and I have some of the symptoms.
We had other things, like AC’s going out and having to replace it completely. Traverse needing a huge repair and so on.
Real Life has sucked. But then it has for all of us.
During this time I actually finished Revelations (Alice and Hatter) and was ready to go on to the final section as I promised everyone back in the beginning. Only for me to be unable to find those chapters.
On the other hand, I found chapters of I Never Did and some of the other stories.
Silver Linings. Right now I grab onto them for my sanity.
What I want to do now, is get everything out to you guys. And if the betas can get to them, then they can fix them, otherwise, you guys get to see exactly why I call these ladies wizards with my work. But life is too short for me to put off something I love so much for time to do other things. I still have to work PT since I need to pay for the traverse’s major repairs and for the new AC. Also, if the price of lumber will ever go down, the renovations my home needs so badly.
I do now have an office that is separate from the sewing room. I have a new keyboard that is a little difficult to use since it is Ergonomic.
So Chapters will be coming out in whatever order I find. I do plan to actually work on making new chapters for What If, since I started that one very depressed. It was getting better but it has that stigma for me and I think you guys would like to read that one to the end. Well, if you like it.
Well, I am off to see what I find first that I have done but was waiting on me to send off to someone to beta. And please be gentle with me. There is a reason I have betas.
For those that follow me on Fanfiction.net, you noticed a chapter got published for Crossing the Fine Line.
It’s one of my stories that are not really known, and I figured since my muse is shaking her head sadly at this, I would bring it to the light again. And there is a reason.
So if you want to reread the story in full, here is the link to the page:
And if you just want to read the chapter that I just published for some reason, here it is.
Leave some love to remind my muse why we like to write, cause she has been fighting me hard on getting back to work.
Just to let you guys know, The website will be down on October 18-20th. We are moving the site to a different set up that will make it easier for us since this theme is n not keeping up with updates.
Sorry for the inconvenience, but hopefully this move will solve a bunch of headaches for us on the backend that we have been dealing with.
I am going to try to get these chapters out so I can write more and not feel guilty about leaving you guys hanging.
There is news though.
The site is going to have a renovation to it. Ms. Robin and I talked today. And I paid for the new site layout, so once she has time, she will be moving the site to the new theme. We will try to coordinate things since I do work now and part of being Assistant Manager was that I worked every other Saturday.
I am trying to get time to myself, but with that title comes responsibilities. Like last week, I needed to finish a quick quilt top for us to display. Once I get it quilted I will take a pic of it and show it to you guys. It was gorgeous! I have to still get some things down, but I will pic one week to work and so on. I have finally gotten it into people’s minds that I have a life besides making quilts. It is my hobby but writing is my passion.
So without much more to say, here is the chapter.
Enjoy!!!

PS, 4PAdfoot wanted me to remind you guys there is a donation button. IT is for year long, and it goes ONLY to the site maintenance. I will be donating to it myself next week. I never realized that she has been paying close to $60 a month for this site!
A story was written. It was shockingly well received, and the author started to think of more.
She thought about this idea so much she had dreams and it rolled around her head as she continued to think up new stories. She gained some friends, who supported her completely and she finally voiced the idea, to have everyone shocked then say it was awesome.
With this support, the author went and realized everything tied together, though no one else could fully understand it, they supported her and she made a prophecy to help guide others to begin to see the possibilities.
And she started world building on a huge grand scale, thrilled to be able to loosen the bounds of her imagination, to dream of whatever she wanted.
Then things happened as they do. Life got in the way, friends fell on the wayside, and the author was convinced of writing to publish it for money. While this frightened her, she agreed and started working towards it, scratching ideas and trying to work it out to be stories that others would like.
Life got in the way as well as the doubts from the author and these ideas fell to the side. Trying to change stories to not give away things, made it where the author fought against her subconscious, and ended up stressing her out, and working to the point that her ideas stalemated and nothing worked.
She went and learned something new, quilting. It helped relax her (though she kinda overdid it as normal) and it ended up leading her to this point. No one is to blame for this, cause who would know it would cause stress to the point that the words would not flow anymore. It took a while but some realizations have come forth.
I have a job, but I don’t need it.
I can quilt and make stuff, but while it is fun, I long to write.
So late the other night while insomnia was working its wiles on me, I thought, ‘why not do what I originally planned? Why not write a world built on ideas that others started and that I turn to be my own? If it gets somehow seen and wanted for publishing, then I can deal with that then.’
Right now? I want to have fun, write my ideas down, and see if the rest of the world wants to read it.
What does this mean?
I am back.
I am changing back one story to be back to Damon and Bella since that is what it is written for, and it will make sense hopefully to others then. Though the ideas will stay. Which to be honest, I ended up seeing them as Bella and Damon, and when I changed it, the story got lost.
I am going to start with whatever I feel like, but secretly hopefully, I will finish Tea Shoppe also since I need to talk to the beta for that one and see what we are doing. But I will say this, I seem to be falling in love with Damon again, so I am starting on that sequel you guys were waiting on. The one that got sidetracked when I tried to remove the back story from.
And for all of you guys who wrote reviews, you are the ones who inspired this. You are the ones who made me realize that writing what I want was better than writing nothing. And I hope you enjoy me being back.
And now for the Prophecy…..
I will translate for those who cannot later…. Have fun deciphering it. I will tell you now, that some of these events have already happened…
