Since I am so late today, (I woke with BAD charlie horse cramps in my legs and toes) I am going to give you two of them. And in fact, I may just do two at a time anyways.
Today’s prompts:
Also, there is a Prompt contest going on over at the SVM/TB Fanfic Exchange.
Timeline:
Submit prompts: Between now and 30th October.
Claim a prompt: 1st November
Challenge ends: 18th December
Stories will be posted: 20th December
Voting for your favorite: 27th December
Winners announced: 1st January 2016
The prompts can be either written or a banner. I plan to hand over a couple banners I have done, that way there are some pictures. I broke my brain doing these prompts, so I don’t want to do that one!
I won’t be able to enter this one since I will be busy getting ready to leave, as well as being gone in AZ for most of the time. But I fully intend to give some prompts out!
Also, good news for anyone who reads Best, one huge chapter was finished and sent off to the other author that works on it with me. And when I finish here, I will be going off to work on the next. These ones are a little harder since I have to watch the episodes, write what I see going on, then add in Killian and Emma’s thoughts. At least now they are on screen together now!
Slowly but surely I am working through my list. After Best is Sacred, and I will be writing at night while editing during the day. I have 30+ chapters, so we should be good for that one.
Yeah… I didn’t like it much when I got up to go to the gym. But hey, it has to come so we can get to the weekend faster. Now… In my honest opinion, the weekend can just not end, but I saw that cartoon when Christmas didn’t end and I learned my lesson.
Hey!! Don’t judge!
lol.
I am running back and forth from the kitchen and here. I came from the gym and started dinner, which is my own sauce that I made up one day and it a fan favorite. The bad thing is that I am bad about being patient, so I learned to go into another room and work on something, checking on it for this stage. (Cooking down the broth before the sauce is added.)
Which leads me to reminding you guys that there is a Kittyinaz’s Group Food Blog that is being updated at least once a week. They are planning some awesome stuff, and my sauce recipe is there. And there is a YUMMY as heck Sweet potato casserole that has a 5 star rating from all who taste it. Shoot, last year, I only got one serving, my parents ate the rest.
Also, there are contests that are either in the voting stage:
Or in the submitting stage:
Go over and look them over!
In Addition, you will be getting a post a day for the next 10 days. I am announcing the start of the Christmas Writing Contest!
As some of you may remember, I am leaving this year for Tucson, AZ for a couple months. I leave the day before Thanksgiving, and will be back in January some time. Last time I went there, I wrote All I Want, and I plan to write it’s sequel. As well as many other things.
So I am planning to start the contest Thanksgiving, that way you guys can start reading the contest pieces. I am going to be announcing this as much as possible, and ask that people spread the contest also.
This year, I decided on prompts. There are 10 of them. These are what are going to be revealed each day, with the Facebook Group getting them a day early. I will tell you one of them has inspired me, then I went, I already wrote something close to it. The last prompt is a wide range of them, but I am hoping this will help you guys come up with ideas.
Today’s prompt:
I hope to see entries!!! I will be working on them as they come in, to make it where I am not burdened down on the week I am trying to leave. The entries need to be in by midnight November 21st, CST. Once all the prompts are in, (or if 4Padfoot comes up with an idea) we will showcase the page.
I overworked her I think.
I am off to check dinner, and hopefully be able to finish up the last chapter of the written Clocks for betaing. Dying to start again is in my hands, and I am looking it over. This weekend was a wash on doing anything but the Christmas Contest.
And I am not referencing World of Warcraft…. You guys seriously rock the boat!
So for those that don’t know me, or caught on with the symbols and such on the site. I love owls. Truly. And I can point to you the time I liked them was when I read the Belgariad by David Eddings. Since then, I have been fascinated by them. (And Hummingbirds, but owls are neat in an everyday thing, while hummingbirds are a sit and watch type thing.)
One of the awesome authors I have made friends with sent me the above gif, and I wanted to share him with you.
The winner is What If, however, the other story, Dying to Start Again started to pick up speed at the end.
Now here is the bad news. This is the last What If chapter Beta’d. And there are only 2 more in the queue. Yeah I know. I am REALLY trying to control the muse, but she is not paying much attention to me. I was lucky to get a bunch of chapters edited for Clocks yesterday. I am hoping I can finish the chapters that are done so I can move onto another story and closer to finishing the chapters that were already written.
Yes, I know that there are now other stories now in the queue. Like Some Sacred Place in Time. That one is up to 34 chapters right now. And maybe.. just maybe half way done. Not for sure. Which reminds me I need to give the teaser for this week on the Facebook Group.
I also worked on the sequel to the Mummy. One half chapter before she quit that one and jumped somewhere else. Oi Vey.
We will see if she will work on the last chapters tonight. This weekend, I am not allowing her to work, it will be a banner weekend. Plus I have my nephew’s 3rd bday to go to. So we will be working on the banners for the stories.
And the Charmed new story will be also going out also. I’m working it now, and once I am done, I need 4padfoot and her magic to happen also.
For those that like the Twilight/LotR story, I am happy to say a discussion in the beta chat has inspired me to go beyond normal in that one. Thanks so much to the betas for that fun chat!! And no, there is no spoof like I did with ED. It was an honest discussion and it sparked ideas that immediately got researched and approved on.
So, I spent yesterday moving Alice and Hatter to BiT (Better in Texas) and Fanfiction Affliction. Loaded it and finished, even with the linking in BiT. Then I was remembering my beta (MKnue) told me had chapters for this story done. I went out and bam! They are done!!!
But here is the deal. I will be making banners for these chapters, so I can move them all over to BIT and the other sites all prettied up.
Fanfiction still has the majority of the chapters, and will until we catch this one up. Once that is done, Outtake is being yanked, and Fanfiction will only have edited chapters. (no lemons. WE can’t have those nasty things on our site!!!!!)
I will try to publish one day a week the chapters. Not sure what days it will be published. Still sorting things out. I need to get back to editing this week, and Clocks is almost out of the trouble area, and it will go much faster. I don’t have that one finished, but you guys wanted what I had. I then need to work on editing Best, then Sacred then Blood. All the chapter we have published on Fanfiction for this one had been edited by me.
The links on the chapter do not work yet. I need to go in and find the shortlinks and so on. Sorry.
Basically, I was not ready to be up Monday. And have paid for it, sleeping most days including that one away. But…I feel better….
Sorry. No idea why Holy Grail/Spamalot is in my head, but you guys will probably find many puns in here for those that like it. :winces:
But why am I posting? Because I am here to fulfill a promise. Yep. We will be forming a government based on a lady in the lake giving me the…. Wait. Nope. Wrong one…
Yeah.. See why? :Snickers:
Yes, I have a chapter of What If ready for you.
And my Muse decided to show who is boss when I am drugged. I have 2 chapters written of a story that I refused to write. I’m kinda grumpy over it. She took advantage of the fact I was drugged!!!! I don’t know what to call it. To be honest…
Here is the banner (yeah, you should have seen me looking at the lyrics for Carnival of Rust and stupidly going… Can’t use that… Bertie used it. And that sounds stupid. And that doesn’t even put to mind anything to do with the plot. Is that even spelled right?) Hope someone will enjoy this. If you are interested, the prologue is up in the Facebook Group. Use the banner above to be taken to the group. (just to be extra sneaky)
I am trying to be good, but I often sound like the Black Knight, in insisting it is only a scratch… But my betas (yeah even the new ones, and the ladies who joined us over on the Food Blog!) have long caught on to my little idiosyncracies. So I will be checking the other sites to see if they are caught up. Then back to bed for me. And hopefully maybe some work done on the laptop, but it all depends on how I am feeling.
I am shooting for full recovery from the drugs soon. And hopefully, my body can figure out the middle between no sleep and too much sleep. I just want to be kinda normal. kinda…
As for my tooth? Yeah, that sucker is on Aleve now. I’m back to being able to drink through a straw so I am enjoying the hell out of my SodaStream drink. Yeah, I am weird I can’t drink soda unless out of a straw or once in a while, an 18 ounce or whatever bottle. Sensitive teeth.
And the pets?
Stormy is ruling the house. Literally. Family begs me to get back in the office since she will come in here and just sleep with me. Or play with Tucker. Whichever, It is better than her running along the backs of chairs, down a chair then across the chairs to start her track again. She also has decided to like my dad’s water. No matter what flavours he puts into it. She sleeps in the bedroom on M or beside me. Depends on her mood.
Connor is well… Connor. He begs to be in the room so he can’t be blamed for Murphy tearing up stuff. It is a surefire way to know something is torn apart. He also, if in the room, will sleep the entire night between M and me. We need a bigger bed. Coming next month will start us getting him ready for the trip. He will enjoy that, since he will have new dogs to play with, and maybe, just maybe he can play with mom and dad without M butting in. (Well he won’t have Murphy since he is staying here with his owners, but there are two other dogs, one of them a golden….)
Murphy? He likes my rugs in the bathroom. We have to keep the bathroom door open to allow the AC to run correctly. Don’t ask, it works is all I know. He also prefers to sleep on the floor in our room, on an Avengers blanket we bought for Connor. If we open our door at night, nothing happens, but we get little room on the bed. We may need to look to buying a king so we have room! But Murphy thinks he sleeps on the bed, but he gets down each time. He also is bad with his paws, going so far to hit me Monday on my jaw that was operated on. He is still a work in progress. We are still teaching him that jumping up and not landing on anyone is ok. But the other is not.
That is everything on my side. I am going to get this off. I appreciate you guys still reading these things.

An addiction to Candy Crush
Right now, I am experiencing pain for the first time, but it’s not too bad. In other words, I should be in bed taking another pill, since what I feel as an ache is to normal people a lot of fucking pain. But I wanted to share some information with you guys.
To entertain me, my hubby made great use of my apple TV. And found Inuyasha on Netflix. And started it. Needless to say, this inspired me for my Inuyasha story. Especially since it is where the anime started. I have been brokenly writing a chapter for it. I say brokenly cause it is in between times that I am sleeping. And it has been driving me.
I also have a chapter of Edge started. When I say the drugs had me all scrambled I really mean it. Don’t worry. No drugs in my system now, and they make sense to me. LOL
I also had emails from my beta of What If saying she had three chapters done. WoOt! I’ll get to those when I am able to sit longer at a computer.
In addition, I had words from my beta for the Charmed crossover, and she is finishing the edits on those chapters. She had sent me some tests to make sure the muse didn’t run away. They were fine, we discussed some alternatives. And now I am waiting for the chapters to fly my way.
For those that are wondering when I am going to read their updates, well I have 330+ emails of updates in my inbox. I couldn’t read at all. So…sorry! Some of them I was saving for a day to settle down and enjoy them in more time, not devouring them to get them out of my inbox. I also have a bunch of things I need to reblog to get out of my inbox. Sorry!
I’m guessing a lot of you enjoyed Crossing the Fine Line. it had to be one of the most labor intensive stories I have done. Only because of the time restraints.
Also, to let you guys know, there WILL be a Christmas themed writing challenge. It will be early, since I will be gone from Nov 25-Jan 25 (Approximate) and I am not sure if my laptop I am taking with me can handle photoshop.
Now I am off to bed. To take those pills before I get a bunch of reactions I am not wanting to deal with. But hey… Ice cream!!!!!!!! (It helps with the swelling)
