Yep. It’s here. And it has a story! ( I know you are moaning and going to find the pic to click… but hey! My post!)
See I wrote this, and Sitalia25 has been the beta on it all this time. Due to circumstances WAY beyond her control, and then us worried as hell about her, and then she told us to go ahead with it, she is going to concentrate on getting better, (Which I support one hundred percent!!!!!!!!! I rather she came back for the sequels! In prefect health!) She is up to date on the Vampire Diaries and what is going on there and she talks with me a lot.
Then comes all this shit, and Meridian is taking over. Now Meridian is the Queen Beta of all of it, and she does I Never…Did and the Set You Free Trilogy, as well as various one shots and the Interviews. She is also in charge of the Betas which means she overlooks it all. However, she doesn’t know Vampire Diaries. She is getting brought up to date quickly, but she is looking at the story from an outside viewpoint, and came up with all these questions on this chapter. So I went back and added over 2K words to make it make sense.
Then I told my betas that she did the right thing, and if they find issues, ASK!!! Because I am in my own happy little worlds that I see everything. I forget sometimes you guys can’t tell. So I went back and helped clarify it all.
I know you guys have questions about how Jasper and Bella are related, and I will say it will be answered. And it will be answered for Jasper and Bella. Since they are not sure either, since Jasper doesn’t know what happened and how Bella is his family.
Right now I got a couple of reviews about a one shot I had done long ago, and it sparked something. I am off to see what it can be. For this is Friday, and I am writing this ahead of time, cause I am doing stuff tonight (seeing Captain America!), and then tomorrow I will be starting the spring clean of the house. My mom is tired of all the piles of stuff in closets and hidden away everywhere. I hate the smell coming from places, and since smells can make bad reactions, we will be having MamaKitty working on that part.
I will be doing my thing, organizing it all. Knew I never should have done her office.
Going on around the website, Food Blog, Tea Blog, yeah I will try to work on those this weekend. Sundays are my days off and I have found that I need them. No computers, no Facebook, nothing but being with hubs. Who is in the Doghouse right now, but still. Nice. They are often his only days off too, so it works out.
The contest for the Challenges ends 04/10/2014 at Robin’s midnight. I would say mine, but she is in charge of the results. Next weekend is the wedding, so I will be out of here from Friday and be back on Monday. We have out of towners coming also, so it all is going to be fun. I hope!
Sequels, I have been getting requests for them, and they are in the works. I am actually trying to get rid of fics. But as I am going back to one shots, I do read your reviews and think on them, so DON’T give up!
Now I am going to work on what I can before all the people start descending on me. Connor is sleeping at my feet happy to have someone home with him and in a room he thinks is his. Though Mommie cleaned up all the junk and threw away all but the least damaged toys. So he may be moping. Either way, he is quiet and I am going to write.

(Meridian says: Get well soon Sitalia25 – we really miss you, but please don’t worry about beta’ing right now. Your health is WAY more important! But…can I borrow your Vampire Diaries brain? Please?? I won’t hurt it….honest I won’t!! And: Madam Kittyinaz: Your brain is brilliant – no ifs, ands, or buts about it! You’d make a FANTASTIC evil genius! )
Yep, and you got One Shots to read, a surprise One Shot by yours truly, and so much more. So get comfy to read this post, I got some great reading for you to do… and vote on!! Yes folks, its that time of the month again, the Kittyinaz’s Monthly Writing Challenge is now open and ready for you to read the brave souls who stepped forward and wrote for the contest!
What was the Challenge for this month? It was a song, The Next Contestant by Nickelback. The song is on the challenge page, so please do listen to it. What made me choose this? Funny you ask! The reason is that it has been in my head for a one shot for a long time, and since I could not decide completely on the couple for the fic, I thought it would be great to use.
Please remember that the contests are to help inspire others to write, and to also let you know some of the authors out there. This may give them their break (which I would love to hear!), or just give you a new author that has been writing for awhile a shot at a different audience to read them. The names have been withheld, and you are voting on the story itself. There is no maximum words, nor this time a need to stick with one of my stories. It just had to be characters from my stories. Hey, it’s my contest! I had to get my stuff in there somehow!
But, to surprise everyone, I had wanted to enter, to get one of the snazzy banners missron80 makes, instead, I admitted I shouldn’t. So instead, I wrote a One Shot, that Bertie Bott Beta’d since it is her story. I wrote a Tea Shoppe One Shot. It takes place in the future. It’s to assure that no, I have not forgotten the fic, in fact for those that were not aware, it is getting a facelift by Bertie Bott, and Mommy4Thomas (My new Beta, so give her a warm welcome!). They are doing the facelift, then getting Twilighted Tea Shoppe ready for the next chapter. It is NOT forgotten, and this one shot reminded me of all the fun of the cast.
So here is my One Shot: (And yes Missron80 did make me a snazzy banner for it!)
And once the WordPress Whisperer, aka 4Padfoot gets the chance, she will provide a link between that and the challenge page, but I’ll put it on here for all of you guys. You can vote more than once, in fact the voting window is on the side. Tricky and awesome aint she? She also won’t share the results with anyone unless they give her bribes….
She has also made a page for the Meme of the Kittyinaz Facebook group. It’s been thrown around since the beginning, and really taken off, it’s “Shouldn’t you be writing?” It started with Meridian throwing the ones of the Avengers at me all the time, and since then it has exploded to the point that 4Padfoot has made a page for it. Here is the one that started it all and you can click on it to get to the page…that somehow is missing this one…. hmmmmmm…….
Also, don’t forget to visit her page if you are thinking of doing anything on WordPress. She has made her site into a showcase showing all the sites she works on. And I am not ashamed to say I push her for new and exciting things as I see possibilities.
There is the Food Blog, which is not having a Bi-weekly menu from me, sorry guys, I was so sick the last couple of weeks, I never made the food from the last time, so I bought what I needed fresh and am redoing it. There are some changes, but really, it’s a reuse of the previous week. Sorry for those that read that!
The Tea Blog? The same thing, too sick to write. I can’t even write fully on my E/B story. In fact I spent the whole day trying to get iTunes to recognize my phone, then once I got that working, my Office wouldn’t work. Many, many, MANY restarts later, I am not messing with anything. It all works, including a new printer, and I aint touching anything. Not tonight.
Tomorrow is another posting week, so we will be posting to the sites the one shot above, and the chapter of You’re. Since the Beta for You’re is sick, Meridian has stepped forward to work on it. She is a saint, and is stepping to work on it until the end, then Sitalia25 will be back to Beta the rest of the trilogy. So expect the updates on that to start up, she is asking questions, and I am answering them since she is not a follower of TVD.
There is the awards going on… and
Go vote. There are tons of people on both that deserve it!!
So pull up a chair, get comfy, and click on their banner for the One Shots for the March 31, 2014 Challenge. Have fun!
Yes!!! Thanks to Meridian. She wanted to beta the chapter to make sure our Beta in charge of the story is resting easily and NOT tempted to work. We’re nice that way. (Yes, Alicia, This is meant to make sure you get better!!! Health is WAYYY more important than stories.)
The Crossover site? Yep it is being worked on, and I have already submitted stuff so they can play with the way they want to set it up. I am really excited about this!
So please read, and don’t forget to look over the Amazon page, it really does help me out when you just click the link and make sure that Kittyinaz-20 is there when you appear on Amazon. Kindle books, it all helps! I know you may forget about it, but when things help the site out financially, it makes more things available. Like maybe music videos and playlists and such.
Also, the Foodblog has a bi-weekly entry from me about what I shop for. And if there are any new recipes on there, I post about them later.
Tea Blog. I’ve been too sick to eat, much less drink tea, but I got a bunch of new teas in. Ask the ladies in the Kittyinaz’s Facebook group, I can talk all day with you about teas.
The writing challenge for this month is over soon, so get over to the Facebook group and listen to the prompt this time. Then get them submitted!! I am not allowed to play, but you guys get to.. and get some awesome banners out of it!!!
Enjoy the chapter!! And remember, the chapter won’t go out to the other sites until next week…..
This week, I took my office, that looked like below, and transformed it into something neat (See more pics below.) My mom is working on her side of the room. She already switched the desks around and is now seeing where she wants everything.
Yes, I went and repainted the entire room (times two, some spots three times, including the ceiling.) then scrubbed the freaking floor, (Actually scrubbed with dawn and hot water) cause we were going to patch up a spot on the ceiling, which we did, then my hubby bought the stuff to make it repopcorn, since the other popcorn was put up with glue. Industrial type. But the damn stuff exploded everywhere, and when he painted the ceiling to prep it for it, I told him no. But we had to clean the damn stuff off the floor, and instead we ended up being able to remove DECADES of paint on the wooden floors. Thank god for Steam cleaners, cause it removed the Dawn from the floor. However… it worked!!!
Thursday (Cause Wednesday was spent getting the paint and supplies, and prepping the room.) was spent crawling around the floor, painting the trim, then when I got back to the beginning, instead of having to wait like I was told, it was completely dry. So I applied a second coat. I also had to make a false bead on the floor cause the idiots had covered up the original to the house from 1920’s wood floors with, yep you guessed it, carpet. Only to rip it out, but not fix the trim. So yes, there is carpet still under the trim. Along with all those years of paint. Now we had decided NOT to redo the room, since I was going to be spending so much on furniture, and all we thought it needed was a coat of paint. ::Bangs head on desk:: As you can see, not true. The prepping of the room should have warned us, since we spent the time sanding off sharp edges to the texture on the wall and filling oh so many holes. I was thrilled when my hubby came home and decided after checking the trim himself, to tape off the room and paint. Yes!! We may actually get done by Friday!!!!
And… I was disappointed to say the least. I am not scared of color. My bedroom is what they call navy suede. the ‘suede’ parts look like you rubbed your hand the wrong way and there are so many shades of blue in that room, it isn’t funny. The ceiling is painted another color of blue, one of the shades that came from the suede effect, with bright white trim on the crown molding. The ceiling looks MUCH higher than it really is, as well as gives a floating feeling. Which works, since it was our first ceiling to put in ourselves, and Marty has one of the boards flipped, which later gives us a wavy look to that section. Hey, live and learn! But the reason I am saying this, is to give you an example of how I am. And I was disappointed in the color of the room. I was shooting for soft dove gray. 2 shades darker. I got a soft gray. Real soft, like almost white over the blue that was there before (faded denim). I went to bed, upset. We had also tried to remove the popcorn ceiling and nothing was going our way.
Friday morning, (After my hubs had been up to after 1am and got up 3am to go to work) I was woken by cleaning elves. I told them not to bother with that room and my own, and went back to bed. Bad headache, though the window was open. All I can say is fumes. Came in the room, and it was better, but the smudges on the ceiling were still the color I wanted, and the walls were not. So I coated them again. Better.
Hubs came home, (and he had left my flowers on the dresser since my desk was under a pile in the living room). And instead of going out, he showed how much he knew me by bringing me what I call outlet plates. To paint, so they will match. He knows me so well. He also tested the walls, and took off the tape around the room, and climbed up to tape off the walls for the ceiling. He painted. We ate take out from Mickey D’s me not wanting to go out in the madness of Valentines Day. This, to me, was a better present.
The following morning, we got up, and went to Ikea. Spent almost all day there. I got my furniture. Lost my drivers license and Ikea Card, Hubby backtracked through the showroom and found license. Hero!!! Went downstairs, and started to pick up things to buy (Hubby had found a puppet owl which yes, is on my bookcase right now.) My mom was picking her side of the room, and I had mine all picked out. Fought with an employee who told me that they won’t restock in the middle of the day my bookshelves. Then was vindicated when he showed they had 25 in stock and made him search for them. We got home last night after stopping for dinner, and Marty started building, having me hand him parts since my CDO (OCD to normal folks, but it ain’t my fault you can’t put the letters in order!) has me excelling in this. He put together a sofa table, (That doubles for me as a storage place and a table behind me) 2 bookcases and my desk. Which took the longest. Then he put together my mom’s desk. It was past midnight when everything was finished.
Today, Connor woke us up, and I started to bring things into the room. He replaced all the electrical work, and once everything was in here, he took off his electrician’s hat to put on his IT hat to put the computers together. Then I brought in the books and fixed up my area, and tested my computer. Then I took a nap. My headache from the paint still there, and I pushed myself so my ankle AND knee were telling me how bad I was. When I got up, I found he had completed the covers, put up the curtains, and put the glass back on the lights on the fan. But it doesn’t stop there!! My mom came home, and he helped her to rearrange her furniture to her liking.
Finally, we are done. Both of us. Later (Tomorrow) I will take a picture of the room for those that care and have it up on the Facebook Page. It looks so different, as you can tell from the preliminary pics.
But why am I sorry?? Chapter 18 AND 19 of You’re posted while I was out. Meridian has since posted 18 to our different sites, but 19 is still here and waiting for the next Wednesday. Just a hint, the Beta for that one likes posting on Fridays. I didn’t have a computer, since mine was in pieces, and I kinda forgot to ask. Sorry!!!
Other news, Prayers are needed for betas and MamaKitty since they will be in surgery soon. One next week, and the other soon. It was one of the reasons I pushed for this to be all done, since she wanted to go back to Ikea before the surgery to get the last of the stuff. So this way we are all set.
Our awesome WordPress Whisperer has attacked my Tea Blog, and updated it. As well as made it and the Food Blog’s latest posts be seen from the side menu. We are also in the final stages of the interview process for this month’s participation on the Facebook page. Damon of You’re is the winner, and the five questions to be asked is going on until Friday.
Also, for those wondering, I have a couple chapters of You’re left to Edit, then I will be working on a favorite to finish. This one is NOT a one with a sequel, so when it is finished, it will be done. then I will edit the new E/S story I have out, and then edit the story I finished. Seeing a pattern? I am hoping that I will be able to work on writing since I got a lot done when I was out. I also want to get back to MamaKitty’s story so she can read it after her surgery. So much going on!!!
I am going to go post chapters to FictionPad that should have been done Wednesday. I am also going to spend the rest of my supposed day off, reading the 43 emails I have in my inbox. 🙂
Enjoy the chapter!! Click on the Picture at the beginning to get there.
Yes!!! Many huge thanks to kelpieskorner for her awesome Betaing skills, She has gone back and redone all the chapters for Best. We appreciate it! And I even gave you guys a Gif for it!! (And me to stare at until the next post!)
I have already done Chapter 6, sent on to missron80 to work on, but she works while I don’t, which gives me more time for writing, but even I had to wait a couple of weeks to write this current one.. My Co-author is awesome, and this coming chapter is very pivotal, so be patient!!!!!!!
If you haven’t seen already, I have a tea blog that I am writing about my adventures in blending teas. It is fun, plus it reminds me of what I have already done. I found a blend I used at the beginning I had forgotten about. Go check it out, it gets all excited cause 5 people liked it today. It’s a baby site still.
We also have a new lady for the food blog, so expect to see some changes there also. I’m excited about all this wonderful stuff!!! This is all stuff that means more for you my ladies (And guys if there are any!) Happy Times!
I am still working on You’re. I think there is something still going on with the current chapter, but once I have clarification on posting it officially up, I will let you know. Once I am done with this, I may take a break and work on the story I have now, before getting the new story ready for publishing. Remember, I am trying to give you guys completed stories, but I will go back through the stories to see if I have any chapters that are done, but not edited. Who knows? Maybe I will read one, get all inspired and finish it?
I am trying to make sure there is stuff to read for you guys, so be patient!!!
Enjoy the chapter, remember we will not post this to any other site until Wednesday.
It truly is amazing the stuff you can find on the internet. I searched Alexander Skarsgard leprechaun and the picture above is what popped up. I think it is fitting for today. Sorry I missed posting last week, but Daylight Savings in the USA screwed me up. Losing one hour completely wrecked my week. I…
Can someone please explain to me why I am seeing more snow in March than I did in the entire months of December and January???? I should be getting ready for spring, not worrying about shoveling 8 inches of snow. The only way snow in March is acceptable is if it this is part of…
Hello lovelies. I cannot guarantee I will be back to publishing weekly, but I will try. My dear beta, kleannhouse, is in high demand trying to juggle the stories of three writers. She is amazing and she makes me laugh with all of her comments on my stories. This one especially. I started this story…
