To all the writers of the Kittyinaz Writing Challenge, Angels through the Fire!
This contest was a huge success, not only in the large amount of entries, but also in the huge amount of people who came to read, and vote. The responses of the public was amazing! Writers, please visit your stories to read the reviews, and readers, thank you again for leaving reviews for these wonderful people who put out their work for you to read. I have the winners below, and the banners and names have been added to all the stories in the contest. Thank you again for your participation. Writers can claim the participation banner above, and are free to post their stories on their sites, and grab the angels to be used.
This month does not have a contest, since I will be gone for the Vegas trip with Bertie Bott to meet Ian and the rest of the Vampire Diaries Cast. I have no idea who I am more excited to meet, my Friend, or one of the men who inspire me to write, not only with his acting, but his day to day actions also.
So the next contest, since so many have asked for it, is a Kill Bill. The only thing I will list in addition to our other rules, is to add the penname you wish to have on the banner when the contest is completed. It will speed up the process to finish them up.
The entries will be due by midnight on September 30, 2014 CST. Please write your entries in, including how you would will Bill to die… especially in this dismal TB season.
Now. enjoy the day, I am off to spend time with my hubs.
Yes.. the writing contest is ending tonight. And as I mentioned last time, the IP addresses are redone every night, so if you have some favorites, go ahead and get those votes still in. You can make a difference!!
I am stuck in a dream.. It is an odd one, and I have been teasing it as I write it, so we will be off for awhile. Here is the Banner that Bertie Bott made me:
Mr. Kittyinaz got his trip postponed to next Saturday, his Visa was not back, and you kinda need that. He will be gone until about the time I will be coming back from my trip, so I have been spending time with him a lot. But since I sleep when He works, I have been getting online later and writing. I am sorry, but RL comes first.
I am off to write some more, and make sure teasers are posted for the stories that the group is keeping up with in the group threads. They are the ones who determine what gets teased.
So vote, and I will let you know after we get the results, and have time to alter the Banners to reflect the places. Remember, if you contributed, to grab your participation Banner, and be on the lookout for those announcements. I have no idea who did what, so if you want your names on the stories, you will have to tell me for them to put on the Banners. And they are yours!
Yes I know I have been missing. I had a migraine. And its hot here, so I was in a dark cool room, with my puppy and thinking hateful thoughts.
Also… One of the greatest comedians and actors passed away this week. I remember Mork and Mindy. It was one of the first shows I was allowed to watch, and he cracked me up. I remember seeing Good Morning Vietnam, loving his performance in it.
It was not until much later that I ever saw one of his comedic specials. And I couldn’t stop laughing. I cried.
From there, I watched his movies, though I did skip the one One Hour Photo and I watched scenes from Insomnia. But I thought he was a great actor for being able to play roles so far from his normal. Yes, his part as the Genie is one of my favorites, it was pure Robin Williams, and I loved Hook. In fact a lot of it, is hidden in Best, since I came up with the idea of Hook in Once Upon a Time being Peter Pan from that movie. I have the music downloaded, so it probably affects me since it is part of the songs I listen to at night.
Good Will Hunting affected me a lot. I was often thought of an outsider, and hid me being smart. I was no where as smart of Matt Damon’s character, but I could emphasize with him.
The man was a genius. He will be greatly mourned. And at the same time, he brings home something clear. Depression is not easy to get out from under. This man who brought so much laughter to others, and that most had described as a happy person, suffered. I suffer under it, and it is an insidious beast that I have to fight against. My writing, and even you guys make it easy to help, but I will admit, there are times I want to give up, and then I list to myself all the good things and then work to get it beyond it. I am not suicidal, but there are times that getting out of bed seems too hard.
So get help. It is not the end all solution of everything. I have help and I fight it. Robin Williams had checked himself in to get help. But remember there are reasons to get up. Reasons to go on. And if you need a list, contact someone.
Here is the next chapter of AIW, and I will try to get back on schedule here, Mr Kittyinaz is going to be out of the country starting Saturday so I will be available more, but I have been taking it easy to spend time with him before he is gone for 3 weeks in China.
If you can’t tell from the banner, here are some warning for this chapter:
Lemon Warning
As you may have heard, I won the Kelpie’s contest. The story will be broken in more chapters, and more detailed. I will tell you more on it, but if you want to read it, click the banner below, it is the one I made for it. Thank you to all who voted for it, and your reward is that I am planning to expand on it.
The Angels Through the Fire contest is closing Friday, and I will tell that 1st and second is one vote apart, as is 3rd and 4th. Now here is a secret. The IP address’s reset every day. So, If you had one you liked, you can vote on it again. The ballet is on the side, so give a vote for your favorite. Obviously, the voting is close.
Yes. It is Wednesday, and I have a chapter of IND ready to go. I wrote one more, and in the middle of writing another. Unfortunately, Mr. Kittyinaz (God that sounds weird, but I won’t give you the name the ladies know him by) is going to China for 3 weeks, and we have been running around like chickens with our heads cut off trying to get his passport ready before he leaves in one week. So not much is getting done since it is disrupting my sleep schedule and he was not aware it was still easy to make me go back to the non sleep again. Ah well. Live and let learn.
Thanks for all the responses to the contest!!! It has blown me away, and I am hoping the authors are reading all the comments, and even the likes that people are leaving behind. I thank you all for the responses!!! It makes me smile, hoping this helps any new writers to come forward and grace us with your imaginations!
I am planning after this another contest in September, and it will be a unique one. I am going to alternate them out. I was going to do something else, but this month, with all that is going on in my RL, there is not much time for me. So instead, I will be doing what I can, and not letting my health escape me. the gym will be next week, since there was just no way to start it up this week with all the hoops we have jumped through to get his passport.
I hope you enjoy this chapter, and I will try to get one ready for you guys next week.
Don’t forget Kelpie’s contest, and there is a new writing contest hosted by Gyllene. Please look to the posts below this one to find the links to go there. I am off to go curl up somewhere and try not to hate this headache to the point I give in and only get a few hours sleep. Damn you Sleep!!!
