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)
Crossing the Fine Line is completely loaded with banners and pics. It is loaded on the following sites also:
FanFiction (Edited)
FictionPad
A03
TWCS
BetterInTexas
Fanfiction Affliction
Needless to say, I am tired. I already took all my meds since I am on a ban from doing liquids and food as of a hour and a half. There is nothing like being told you can’t do something to make you want to do it. I guess that tells a lot about me. lol
Please read and let me know what you think. If there are any posts before Monday, I can’t testify if I am under the influence or not.
Now here is the fun part, 4Padfoot is in control of the site.
If you find any issues, let her know and she will try to fix for you. Otherwise, well I would be sending them to her too.
Now I am off to read my paperwork, make sure I have everything, then bed. C-ya later!
Yes, I got so cold last night my fingers hurt. And my jaw. UGH.
I got through Chapter 17 for the changes. I am going to pull up all the sites, then get to work again. I want this done before I am out of it. Especially since I will be lucky to get my laptop, much less this computer.
Also, food for thought (since I am hearing a whole bunch of lyrics lately to songs I have listened to since I was a wee one) The Immigrant Song by Led Zepplin makes me think of Eric:
Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow.
The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming!
On we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will be the western shore.
Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
How soft your fields so green, can whisper tales of gore,
Of how we calmed the tides of war. We are your overlords.
On we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will be the western shore.
So now you’d better stop and rebuild all your ruins,
For peace and trust can win the day despite of all your losing.
Yeah. I was laughing last night to You Can’t Always Get What You Want by Rolling Stones. This lyric just cracked me up:
And I went down to the demonstration
To get my fair share of abuse
What can I say? My iTunes is on shuffle and it decided that I wanted Classic Rock along with everything else. And to think I was making banners and so on while it was playing made it more funny to all of a sudden to pay attention to the lyrics I have been singing the entire time.
Of course, that lead to my mom finding out I thought Bad Moon Rising was actually Bathroom on the Right. When you never hear the name of the song, it is amazing what you hear instead….
Anywho. Back to work for me. And if you don’t know these songs… What the heck? You need some lessons in classic rock. They shaped my early and teen years. Especially the teen years, since I was woken up by Time (by Pink Floyd think Dark Side of the Moon. Listen to the beginning, and you can see how I would sit straight up from a deep sleep when my dad played that on Saturday mornings!)
And Missy Stormy is trying to hide, behind my sheer curtains. Cats aren’t always smart. She thinks she is hidden, but not quite. oops. I said her name now she is wanting cuddles before she lies on her bed while I am working with Photoshop. LMAO now she is sitting there, staring at the screen I work Photoshop on and meowing at me, like, “Mom, get to work!! I want to watch the stuff move around!”
Everyone, I am finally caught up on all the other sites in posting. I just finished Chapter 9 here. The links are active.
How can you tell if I have posted the chapter? There will be a banner up top, as well the links below for the next chapter. Since all Chapters are published, you can actually read a chapter before I am working on it.
I am updating 6 sites all at once. Better In Texas, FanFiction, FictionPad, A03, Fanfiction Affliction, and here. I am also making the banners for the top of the page, as well as looking through the chapter to get an idea of who needs to be on the banner, as well as pics needed for the chapter.
So be patient, and I will post when I am completed with the entire story. You can keep track of where I am also through Fanfiction. I will post the chapter I am working on there, since no pictures are needed for that one.
The way I am doing them: open the chapter, Paste over to Fanfiction. Make banner and any character banners if needed. Then add them to chapter, link it up and publish. Then post to the sites above.
And please… Leave a review!!! I am seeing some pop-up, and I will be reading them. If they have questions, I will wait until I am done.
Sorry!!! But I had to!!! I already had a great alibi, my story was not done until after the submission date. In fact due to the awesomeness of my new beta, we ended up taking to the very last day, but she came through and busted out this story.
So I was not given a lot to go on. And my brain wanted E/S/G. So I sat here for a week or two (not sure it is all a blur in my head) telling my family I was hating not knowing what to write about. I listened to music, I looked at millions of pics. Anything to find inspiration to write this fic.
And then one night, I was listening to Between the Raindrops by Lifehouse, and the beginning hit me. And I went with it. NO idea what it would become, I let the muse have the reins and just sat down to enjoy the ride.
Then I got nervous and told my betas. My pre-readers Royal Ember and 4Padfoot stepped up to read it. And they encouraged me to keep on it. That it was brand new idea to the fandom. MissRissa81 was there checking it out, and making sure I wasn’t skipping anything as I wrote. And they pushed me to finish it. They wanted to know what was going to happen.
I never wanted a 27 chapter story. I wanted something short, that way I could get it written, edited and beta’d before it was due. But did my muse listen? No.
But I did celebrate the day I finished the writing. Then the next day, I got on the story to edit it. Many things are added to the editing process. Jason was given more time in the story to cover some blanks. I fixed the second lemon to be better. And over a couple thousand words were added. And I ran it all through Grammarly. I learned some things from doing it. I do recommend it to new authors, or authors like me who don’t understand things. In addition, it gave me a huge boost when it started to send me the results each week of my work. Seems I use more vocabulary than 98% of it’s users. Go me!!! And I write a lot more.
At first, we had time, and I was doing the chapters here where the Beta will correct to make sure they were done. Then I got sick. Yeah, no fun and the pressure was on me and I just felt terrible. As soon as I could, I was in here in the office, on the laptop, anywhere to finish editing and posting for my beta. I got done, and I went off to relax. My beta was all set to work on the chapters, and then her internet went down.
She stayed up to I think 3 or 4 in the morning my time, to finish betaing the chapters. I was right there with her, blearily blinking my eyes, but as she finished a chapter, I would strip it from anything that is my normal practice on posting and send the watered down chapters (not the content, just no title, no previous, and so on that I do) to the Queen of Area Five.
And she was awesome throughout this thing. I told her where I was and she pushed out my submission as far as she could so I could finish.
I have to say I liked the result. There is a little Doctor Who for anyone who watches it (10th doctor!!). If you ever are curious, that episode is how Lucifer escaped. There is Asimov in there. There is many examples of what shapes me to who I am in this fic. The muse dipped deeply in my subconscious for this one, and I was quite amused on how it came out. I never got to use the InuYoukai that I found.
I own NONE of the pictures I used for this fic. As often as I could, I used the artist’s copyright in the banner and left any signs they made it there. Unfortunately, since I was going so freaking fast, I didn’t get the links to the original pics. If anyone wants them, I can try to find them for you.
Now, I am still working on linking all of this, as well as adding the pictures, making banners (for both the chapters and the characters.) Since I will be out as of Wednesday, I am going to be posting this all at once everywhere. So as I work, this story will be added to until it is done here.
Here is the main page, and you can start there. If you don’t mind, leave a review. This story was so outside my normal, I want to hear your thoughts on it. It is finished, and posted over on the Fanfic Exchange. I will be working REALLY hard to post this here and the other places.
Hope you enjoy this, especially Natsgrl1. I pushed myself to make sure it is a story worthy of your awesome talents!!
And Huge thanks to Queen of Area 5, for not only working with me, but for writing my own story!!!! I loved it!!!
So, I went to the dentist thinking I was going to get a filling, and probably a crown for a tooth. I knew something had been up with the tooth, so no biggie.
Only to find out that the tooth is REALLY bad, and that I was rushed to the Ortho ASAP. In fact, they had told me that they will be extracting the tooth that day. He had cleaned out what he could, slapped a temp on it, as well as shooting me full of whatever it is they numb you with.
See, I think I mentioned at some point, that I have a weird thing with pain. If I can fall asleep, it is like my body resets itself to accept that level of pain and I don’t feel it.
It is still there. My blood pressure can tell you as well as my stomach, which is where I carry stress at. However, I don’t feel it.
My dentist knew this, so he shot me up on Wednesday to make it where I can get to sleep and not feel it. He also prescribed antibiotics, as well as 12 VERY good painkillers. Since I get sick if I take meds for pain and not need them, it is safe for me to have these fun things.
I went to the Ortho, only to find out it was a consult.
I get the thing removed on Wednesday. And they are putting me out since I have a small mouth, lots of teeth, as well as VERY deep roots. They are worried they are around my sinuses.
Yeah…
Since then, I am sleeping a lot, trying not to take the pills, saving them for when I feel I will be needing them. And today I ate and I am feeling not so good.
How does this affect you guys?
Some chapters I wanted to post are not going to be posted. I also may have to put off that project being published for you guys. Sorry.
On the other hand, I started to write the sequel to You’re, however, while I know exactly where I am going with the story, I just don’t have Damon’s voice right. Ugh.
But a little birdie has been sniping away at me to reread ED, and I started it. In between everything else going on. And I am hearing Godric, Eric, Bella, and Sookie.
So I will probably get to that. No promises. The muse does everything, and I still have bios to get back to on the OF. I am going through a period of self-doubting so I will be working on things I feel empowered about.
Now, as for how all this will work out after surgery? No idea. The Surgeons told me the way they will attack this tooth since there is the issue of all the above issues, as well as I have a strong jaw bone. As the surgeon said, strong bones, deep roots are all something that is awesome for keeping teeth. But for removing them? Bad news.
They are going to try a method that may lessen the pain for me afterward. However, if my wisdom and the other teeth are any guide, (yes they actually removed teeth on one side to make sure I didn’t damage the other teeth. Why not the other side I have no earthly idea.) I will be in pain.
Now, I am good with pain. Except when it affects my ears for some reason. And depending on what is going on as well. M might override me, which he is thinking of doing now when I am telling him I am not feeling so good. If he does, then I am not sure what would happen in a Vicoden haze if I wrote.
It could be the best stuff I ever wrote.
Or it could be the worst.
I guess we may find out.
Now some good news. Thankfully I completed my submission for the Fanfic exchange before the project. And I got my gift today in return. Go HERE for it. It’s pretty awesome!!!!
For my story, well you will have to wait for the authors to be announced to find out. Plus there are tons of great stories so far!
I will see you on the opposite side. I am off to settle, and see what all I have to watch on the Apple TV. Hopefully, there is Vampire Diaries on Netflix or on one of the channels. If nothing else I can get out the Blu-rays, but to be honest, I am being lazy and wanting to hold up my hand and hit a few buttons on a remote to do all I want.
I don’t give in much (you may doubt me, but I truly hate staying in bed when I am sick. I was raised to stay in bed if you are sick. So this is out of my league of what I normally do.) But when I do, I want to hide from everything.
And, M is encouraging me to. To the point, I may get that iPhone 6s sooner if my stupid phone will just allow me to swipe once to answer the freaking phone. Grrrrrrrrrrr….. But no aggravation is to be allowed, since no one knows if it is stress or pain making me sick.
I have not forgotten anyone, I have work I want to be doing, as well as writing. I am getting to where I can write, though I have some stories to edit. But, I got to move with my flighty as hell muse. Otherwise, I am not happy with the story that I write.
I will admit, I will be rereading All I Want. I know where I want to go with that one, but since I wrote that one a couple of years ago, I want to make sure I remember it.
See you guys soon, and I will be on the Facebook Group more often, since I can easily get there from many sources.
OMG!!! I have been running myself ragged. Really ragged to get stuff done.
See I have a project that I had been working on. It slowly took over everything since I was on a time limit. And I finally finished last week. In fact, I started this post and then I left.
I ended up I pushing myself so hard, I was to the point that I was only working on it unless I was sick. And even then, I tried to work.
Workaholics Anonymous is a place I need to visit I think.
I did drop everything, and I apologize for it. However, I am still on a ‘vacation’. In other words, trying to convince myself that don’t need to be up and working. I am actually feeling guilty not to be on the computer working myself to death.
But here is the happy side of things, in a month or so, you will see the completed project. Betas need to work over what I did, as well as I need to make banners and so forth. BUT IT IS COMPLETE! Meaning, no sequels, no waiting for chapters to be written.
I am also reading some old works of my own, (Though I should be working on the 115+ emails on my inbox that are updates! And yes, Royal Ember, I know you are one of them!!!!) Among them so far are IND, (Which I started to write a chapter but was continuously interrupted so I had to stop.) and I just finished You’re. Yes, I am trying to get in the mood to work on stories I have out there. I am ignoring the muse who is trying to be sly and hint on a new story. I want to finish these stories more than you can ever imagine. I just have so much on my plate in RL and in the Fanfiction world.
I do have to give the following warning (Thanks to Meridian who reminded me on a day I needed it!):
Now, I am putting out a call for a beta who like Once Upon A Time. Someone I admire had asked me if I know anyone who will beta for him, and when I say he is awesome, I really mean it. If you would like it, PM me on facebook (I have as my nickname Kittyinaz so you can find me that way) or message me off the group talk.
Also, if you haven’t noticed, the Food Blog is being revived with some new blood. tj6james6 as well as MissAliceUnsub have taken the reigns on it and are busy working with it and discussing ideas. If you have suggestions or anything at all, stop by and let the ladies know what you are thinking, or even just to say hi!
I am also odder than most, Spring and Fall is my busy times, I work harder than most ever think during the times. I am rereading things to get back into the mood to write, as well as thinking of what I need to do for the OF. I have to get into it and work the bios before I can go back to writing. I was already asking myself questions.
Along with that, I want to write on some of the other stories, Hp, LOTR and so forth. Just give me some time, now that I realize that I can do something, but I won’t do the editing in the small amount of time again. Holy Cow that almost broke me!
I will admit, that I was thinking of doing a contest, but instead, will direct you to Bertie Bott’s Spooktacular contest. However. I am doing one for November. It will be posted at the beginning of Christmas season. I am leaving the day before Thanksgiving to head to my inlaws, and I will be on restricted internet. I also am unsure how Photoshop will react on the laptop I am going to be using, so I will be doing the banners before I leave. The theme this year? Christmas. I will make it easy for you guys.
If you have been following me for awhile, you know when I go on vacation, so do my lovely ladies who help out. It’s only fair, and since the holidays are such a hard time to be trying to work, I am hoping this will make it easier for everyone. Just read and vote on the stories you like.
Now, I am going to relax. I have made some new banners, playing around with an idea I got off the MacBeth movie poster. See:
They are adoptable, I just been lazy and not put them into the site yet under the adopatable banners. Well, I should admit the NCIS one is an idea for me, but won’t be used, so I can let it go. Or if someone wants the idea of it but with other people, please remember that you can ask for changes to be in them.
I’m always up for trying stuff. And right now, I am all happy, I just got my stats from Grammarly. It is something that makes me happy to see where I do good, and wince on the bad stuff. But I am trying to imporve.
I know I didn’t add many pics to the chapter, and I am sorry. I figured you would rather me post the chapter than put it off to make the character banners for the newcomers. We all know what Elrond and Gandalf look like, right?
Well, my body forced me to take a day off yesterday, and I really didn’t have time for it. So I am not doing anything but the task I have to finish. Sorry if anyone asks a question, I will answer it when I am done.
I am really sorry! But in the end, you will thoroughly enjoy what I am working on when you find out. I promise. Well, at least I hope so.
Also, I posted the Banner contest for those that want to enter it for the group. 1st place is the banner of the month for the group, and 2nd place is the banner of the month for the Facebook Page. (Yes, there is a difference and I have both.) Deadline? August 30. Voting will be on August 31. The theme is Fall.
I know. I suck. I do have a chapter to post on the LOTR/Twilight story that I meant to post last week. I do!!!
Just last week was more than I anticipated. I was so overwhelmed by the time I would be home, I was just wanting down time. But then I have that Time sensitive project I am working on. So no downtime for me.
Which is messing with me more than I can explain. Then there is the whole OCD thing I have going, and the fact I need to make up the stuff around the project.. UGH!
Then I was all, this week I am going back to the gym. Yep. This is the week. I am tired of being tired all the time, and maybe this will help me sleep. At the least, I will lose some weight, now that I am mostly back to eating 3 times a day. mostly. I mess up sometimes and only realize at night that I ate only 1 meal all day. Oops.
Except, it wiped me completely out. Like I had to stop to grab something to eat or I was going to pass out. I had to sit down for a bit when I got home to take a shower. All that made me more determined to do the following:
Keep going to the gym. I hate feeling that weak!
Make sure I eat.
Ugh!
I am hoping that I will be able to get a lot done today on the project, so I can get back to our regularly scheduled programs. Nothing would make me happier than to get back to writing. And working on that damned original fiction. I have a lot more back work to do, but it will be worth it in the end.
I also want to finish up Clocks, (I am on the last ‘fixer’ chapter!) since I am so close to going back to already worked over stuff. I just need to check it all, then let the beta know I am done with that one.
Some Sacred Place In Time Banner
I am also ready to work more on Sacred when I feel the inclination to write. I have some prereaders who will placated with the project, are still looking at me, tapping their feet and looking pointedly at their watches. I left them on a kinda cliffhanger. Not really, but they seem to think so.
I still have Best to work on and Blood’s chapter I had not been aware was out there. And I am currently reading some fanfiction in that universe. So it is getting me back in the framework. I need to write up some reviews so that when 4Padfoot’s idea is ready, we will have some stuff waiting to be used over there. Shucks, I have to reread some favorites.
All this so I can be reset back to how I was when I first started to write. Alot of work isn’t it? I prefer to write. More than anything else. Though not under the time limit I had, but I can successfully say I CAN write a story under a month. Not that I want to again, since I had to depend alot on my CB, Rissa, more than I like to. It’s not fair to her.
I don’t know if I mentioned, but Mamakitty likes to draw. I gave her my bamboo tablet, and then she got an iPad. She realized that if she just got the right pen, she can draw on it also. The first try was not so good, but I ended up with a Pen that is just like one you would use. She went on to get a Bamboo one. Well, I have been playing with mine, and found a program for writing notes. It erases the fact my hand rests on the tablet, and reacts to the sensitivity of the pen itself. You have different pen types to try, and I found that the fountain pen is the best pen for my style of writing. Which cracks me up, since I use one of them to draw on glass. But the results look like I actually wrote them.
The bad side to the program? Unlike OneNote, it doesn’t transfer to any other device. its strictly for the iPad. It will convert my handwriting to text, so I am playing with the idea of using it for more than writing my notes to myself on stuff, ideas and so on. We will see. The program is called Notes Plus. If you take notes for work and so on, it is awesome for it. Just we go back to the fact that I like to have a program if I am out and about and am stuck with an idea, I can write it in my phone and see it when I get home on my computer.
So yes, I have a crapload of stuff to do, and I am working on it. I had this project come up and it took over everything, but the hard part is done. I just need to get in gear and get the next part done. I will say having a laptop has been helping, I take it with me into the living room, bedroom and so on to work on. While it is not mine, and I really want one of my own, it works and more importantly, it connects to the internet. So I can write on it, then save, and come in here and take up from there.
What can I say, when technology works, it really is awesome.
I have to mention, Happy Birthday to our leading man, Alexander Skarsgard. The man looks better with aging! He is the same age as me (which is sad, I don’t know how old I am have the time, but I can remember his age. Seriously. That is messed up!)
Ok, I have one review that I did here: (Sorry Katfergie for not getting this done earlier!)
And I have a review for a story out there as well:
I will be posting the contest for banner of the month in the group soon. (like today or tomorrow). The theme? I have no idea… I am running out of ideas it seems when I am overwhelmed.
I will get out the chapter this week. Just give me some time, and when I need to take a break, I will look it over, add the pictures if it needs them. Then I will let you know. I also saw proof with my own little eyes, that Dying is getting close to being done with the beta.
I’m trying, so give me some time, folks. You have no idea how busy RL has been for me. Drama Island has nothing on my family lately. I cannot wait for vacation.
