Guess What Day it is??

james-james-mcavoy-10189972-2560-1707Yep, Wednesday!!! And that means a new chapter of ED is ready for you guys!!!

Many thanks as always to Meridian for being my Beta and trying to keep off the stress on me.  If you want an update on the battle for Brest cancer my mom is fighting, along with everything else going on, please follow me on Facebook.  My group’s link is to the side, feel free to click and ask to become a member.

This is an information dump chapter, and there is a time jump.  But we needed to move the story, and they deserve to have some private time.  Well as private as me babbling it all this chapter.  LMAO!

There was the interview of last month, Godric, and the interview for this month will be posted tomorrow.  I am cleaning, so we will see if anything else gets done.  I will be babysitting Friday.  Yeah Me!!!

Next week, expect Meridian and the betas to post.  the 13th is the big day, and while I have been told to stay home, since she will be out of it from Wednesday until Friday, I will be climbing the walls.  So I really won’t care.

I have been working on You’re and the betas are loving the chapters I am getting out.  I am also, since I am so freaking stressed over the information today going to be writing a one shot of Damon/Bella.  Its not part of anything, but just needed to calm down and that is the easiest.

Also, please visit the Food Blog!!! I sent them a bunch of recipes, and I will finish a lot more this week.  I want my dresser to be cleaned off.  WAY too busy on it for me.  I am also going to make that Chicken & Rice I promised tomorrow with step by step with pictures directions.  And if I can get more cream cheese, I will make pumpkin Cheesecake bars.  I just make them, so I will have to write down how to make that one.  So join the blog to be notified when these hit the postings!

Final thing, the ladies that make up my freaking awesome betas are … well I used freaking awesome.  So Use whatever you like, cause they have been there each step of the way for me.  Please visit their sites.  MissRon80 Has some great rants going on, Meridian has her own series up and going, TheWriteAshley has Thirsty, which I beg for more.  Mags has a couple of E/S fics that have me reading and waiting on.  Zabby Perno is a writer of awesome talent, she tackles Primeval, which I am scared of the science.  Sitalia25 has a bunch of crossovers.  They are a bunch of busy ladies that I highly recommend reading.  I have, and I do not regret it at all.  And I feel so humbled to know they volunteered to read my stuff to make it palatable!!!!  Thanks ladies.  If you wish to contact them, they have an email addy for them.  I am not allowed to see it, but they will answer questions on the stories, update planning and any errors.  They are trying to take stress off me, which I highly appreciate it, and each are an expert on their story that they Beta for me.  Someone will get back to you.  Or drop them a line in the Group, they hang out there too.

So enjoy the chapter, And I am going to write my one-shot for meridian to get her grubby fingers on.  She REALLY wants it.

Saturday is here!!

Damon 112

And you know what that means… Time to find the GIF!!!!!   There is a Dancing Niall somewhere in here.  And I am addicted to it already.  It took great strength to rip myself from that awesome gif to write this to give you guys a chance to find him.  So have fun!!!

So what has been up with me?  I got to babysit Miss Riley and Master Evan yesterday.  It was awesome.  Played with Play dough, (However you spell it), put together puzzles that spelled words, and teaches how to spell.  Then we watched Disney Jr.  And some Doctor she loves enough to sing along with them.  Fun Times.  Evan decided nap time was best, and I didn’t complain!

Unfortunately, my allergies, or whatever I have decided I was too active yesterday and came back with a vengeance.  Hey Marty claims that what he has is allergies, so I can too, right?

I finished reading You’re that is posted, I have 2 chapters to read through that is in the drafts in here, then I will be off writing to finishing that book.  Then I HAVE to finish Aos Si this month.  My mom has been to see the surgeon that is going to take care of that nasty Cancer she has.  The 6th is pre-op and the 13th, well lets say I will probably be baking up a storm since that is surgery day.  I have passed on the good wishes to her and it cheers her up.  I have a request that anyone know of a new place to read Supernatural stories or any stories with Jensen Ackles?  She reads LiveJournal, FanFiction and I introduced her to FictionPad.  And AO3.  She knows that there must be more out there, but she is frustrated.  I told her I would ask, but that I am not telling her until she has the surgery.  Something to have her looking forward to.  She is spending 3 days in ICU after the surgery and on drugs.  But after that she will be in my care.  I told her I get to have fun with that.

Seriously, We do appreciate all the support, and my mom is very surprised by my readers.  She cannot believe how much you guys really care and she promised me to start reading some of my fics.  She has withheld, thinking it is like reading my journals.  I shrugged and told if it is so, then by the numbers on my site, thousands read my journals each day.  Why not her?

So have fun on your Saturday, I am going to try to get some work done here.

Happy Halloween – Tea Shoppe is Here!

Andrew-Lee-Potts-1

Trick or treat?

How about a Tea Shoppe treat? That’s right, Bertie Bott here to let you know that chapter 7 of Tea Shoppe is up and waiting for you to read and review. Lots flirty goodness to be had, so enjoy!

I’ll keep this short and sweet by reminding y’all that the Kittyinaz Food Blog has many delicious treats to munch on – yummy. And don’t forget that the betas have their own email address now (kittysbetas@gmail.com) to be used exclusively for any mistakes or story questions you may have. Remember to leave your reviews posted on here for Wendy since she is banned from the beta email and will not have access to them if you should send them there.

Hope everyone has a fantastic – and safe – Halloween no matter how you choose to celebrate it!

It’s Wednesday Again!

And you know what that means:  It’s time for a new chapter of ED!

This is Meridian posting on behalf of our fearless leader Wendy/Kittyinaz who has spent the day with her mom in consultation for Mama Kittyinaz’s surgery.  Unfortunately Wendy hasn’t been well herself, either, so she hasn’t been able to write up the recipe for the chicken and rice mentioned in this chapter (YUM, btw!), but she’ll get to it some time this week.  The food blog addy for that is:  http://kittyinazsfoodblog.wordpress.com/, and the email addy for y’all to send in all your awesome recipes (*hint*) is: Kittyinazfoodblog@gmail.com

Regarding ED:  This story is officially finished – all that’s left is the beta’ing and the posting once a week.  (Trust me, it’s awesome!)  Wendy states that only two chapters of the sequel have been written and we will see about that.  She also says to thank her awesome betas and her amazing Website Whisperer.  I take this to mean that we get to rob everyone’s Halloween hauls, right?  😀

Finally, I’d like to remind everyone that we betas have an email address set up:  kittysbetas@gmail.com.  This is solely to contact the betas directly regarding site issues and potential corrections.  Wendy doesn’t even have access to it (because the betas decided that she really doesn’t need that stress, too), so be sure to leave reviews and story comments below each chapter.

And now, on with this chapter (it’s a sweet one):

Read and Review!

Godric of ITE’s Interview

October Chat

Yep it is that time!   I did Godric’s interview while I was making lasagna.  So I was a very busy bee yesterday on my day off.    Many thanks to Meridian for Betaing, to the WordPress Whisperer, for putting it all together, and to MissRon80 for the Kick Ass Banner for this month’s interview!

It was again fun, and as per the Queen of Betas, had reminded me, no editing, no nothing after I was done.  I handed it off to Rissa, and then went to bed.  My hubby has had a miserable couple of days.  He had been telling me it was all allergies and his asthma kicking in all at once.  I believed him and when he refused me making Homemade Chicken Noodle soup, I thought he was right.

Boy was he wrong, I went to bed once I was done making all the food. (And my fridge is PACKED with food from that one day, luckily they took food to work to share with others.  THANK GOD!!!!!!!!!!!) And this morning woke with my body feeling like a huge Charley’s horse, and my throat hurting so bad I can hardly believe it.  And the drainage!! OMG.  So needless to say, I am out for the count.  And my hubby is getting text messages telling him if he does NOT bring some damn Nyquil, I will be hurting him.

Per a review I got today, I feel I need to explain something.  My mom got diagnosed with breast cancer in what feels like months ago, but has only been a week and a half.  What is worse, is there is intensive family history all on my mom’s side of family, of my older female relatives dying from it that no one ever told me.  So I had been hit twice with information that is shocking.  My mom has cancer in both breasts, and is dead set on surviving this, and will do so.  I fully support her, as she is with me.  Yes, they have begun the testing to see if I may have it cause the form she has, does not show up on a mammogram or ultrasound, nor do you get lumps.  The only way was for a MRI, and they found it by accident.

As for writing, my Betas promptly removed both the sites (WordPress and Facebook) from my care, since my mom is meeting with a surgeon this week and I will be her primary care person while she is here.  This is meaning that until I leave on 13th of December to go to Tucson, I don’t know what times I have to write or anything.  With this understanding, I promptly finished editing ED since so many had asked for it.  Now I am to only write, not edit, anything for awhile.  I am highly stressed out, which is why the food blog is getting so much from me, since it seems when I am stressed, I bake/cook.  ALOT.

So for When I Pretend, or really any stories? Who knows.  I did not plan to have all this dumped on me, and while I know you are upset, it does nothing to upset me right now.  As stressed as I am, I am not the easy going person of norm.  So the plan is that NO story is ever abandoned.  EVER.  And I am only to write, not edit, what I feel like writing to help get the stress out.  If you wish to know more, you can contact the betas at their email, or see if you can catch me in our group.  But you can ask any of the ladies, I really am not into much but trying to find ways to be happy right now, since I am the one who needs to be happy for my mom, due to what’s happening in the house.

Shoot even for this post, I have Connor being a little snit and tearing into everything cause he wants me back in bed.  So enjoy the interview. And anything that is ready to be posted, will be done so by my Betas.

Wendy
