Sunday! Are you Ready??!?!?!

I-hope

Yes, I remembered.  Though shhh.. it’s like 2:15 am in the morning, but I will schedule this to go out when I should be up.

Please remember, this is Sunday, my day away from the computer.  I know!! You are shocked!  Wendy?  Away from the computer?  What the heck?!?!?!

Since last Sunday was a success, we are making it permanent.  And then we went one step farther, since it really took me all day to edit 4 pages, something that normally takes me a couple of hours if that, talking with Karen, we decided that Saturday is the day to play on the computer.  No working on stories.  Instead, if I am here, and on the computer, I get to play with my new video making program, or making banners.  Or gif’s that move and stuff.  Or whatever I want, as long as it is not a story.

I spend every day on this thing, but weekends are hard, everyone comes into my office to pull me into discussions that I have to pay attention to.  Or we spend the day out shopping or walking around.  Plus to be blunt, if I only work, and not allowed to play, well it aint good.  Not at all.  Instead, we are being proactive and pushing for me to have days away from the stories.

Other news, we have spruced up the site some.  I was bored with all the writing on the side, so talking to Gyllene, she mentioned that I can replace the Betas names with buttons that once clicked will take the user to their site.  Then I asked about the gifs with names.  We figured out I could do it, and I went to town.  Everyone either chose their own Gifs, or I somehow picked ones they love.  Bertie Bott, Gyllene and 4PadFoot all made their own.

Then, I had more fun.  4Padfoot got online with me, and we played with our programs.  She found an easier way for me to do what I was doing, and can add frames and so on.  If you want to see what I did, click on the button below.  For those that don’t know, Andrew Lee Potts was my first inspiration.

This is what happens when I get bored of things.  I push my envelopes.  Plus this past week was a drama filled week and I just needed to get my mind off of it.   Yeck.

Good news for those that are following my health.  Which seems funny to me, but here we go.  Sleeping 4-6 hours is now normal. Without anything but OC drugs to help out.  Yeah!!! I also finished the one month on the bicycle officially on Friday.  So I am moving on to the Elliptical!!! Also, Hubs went with me to make sure I am using the weights right, and low and behold, he found out real quick why my arms gained muscle so fast.  I was only doing 315 reps on just my biceps and triceps.  Seems my 24 hours have 4 machines of each exercise of different makers.  And yes, I was doing each of those machines… 15 reps x 3 on each machine.  I skipped some cause it made me look sideways at them thinking they are the exact thing I was doing… just named slightly different.  Hi, my name is Wendy Kittyinaz, and I have Blondes in my family tree, and I married a Polish man.  Aforementioned Polish man chuckled, and told me no wonder I was gaining definition on my arms.  :Head desk:

I am doing all this because I decided, life is just too short.  I want to run again, and to do so I am working towards that goal.  I want to feel better, so again, I am working towards it.  Only I can change my life, and no one else can do it for me.  It takes me an hour-hour and a half to work through it all, and I am proud of myself.  I am eating healthier, and I am learning slowly how to do other things.  But writing is my main focus, and after I get these lovely stories done, I will be working on my Original Fiction so I can start pushing it out there and see if I can work on getting it published.  Well, let me correct that statement.  I AM getting it published, just if it will be myself doing it or a publishing company will be the part I am still deciding on.

Angel through the Fire 4 Bella_edited-2

Also, the writing contest.  It is open to anyone who wishes to enter.  Sitalia25 asked me for an Angel, and I added Bella per her request. So now Bella is open for anyone to write on now. Just to clarify a question that has been asked many times in the chat, they have to be a character in one of my stories.  What you do with them, is up to you.  No, they don’t have to BE the character in the story.  For instance Mommy4Thomas wrote one for Damon, and she did her own Damon.  MissRon80 did her own take on Godric.  It is all up to the writers.  You just have to use a character from a story.  If you have an idea, but don’t see an Angel for it yet, contact me on Facebook, or email the ladies.  I will be happy to make one, and you owe me a story.  That’s it.  For more information, please click on the Bella Banner above.   (Remember, you will be consulted on the pic, and the color of the wings and other stuff!)

Now for the fun part!

This weeks person I am going to honor?  Kelpie!!!

Kelpie

This woman amazes me constantly.  I was first introduced through her interviews on authors I read.  I found her, was impressed with the get to know feature on her site.  Then there is the Skarsporn Sundays.  Such a treat!!!  I went through her site, and she also writes!!!   I even found a fellow writer who writes kinda like me and has many stories in her head all the time.  She and I speak a lot on how stories seem to but themselves into our muses and we are stuck writing down ideas or even chapters.

Then, there was the offer when I mentioned I needed a beta for my Once Upon a Time fic, The Best is yet to Come.  She told me she would, and soon had the story being handled.  One thing I have learned, don’t ever beta your own work.  Though there were two of us working on the fic, there were still errors.  It happens.  We were far more concerned with the story plot than making sure we followed all the rules.  Missron80 tried, but hey.. I rather have the story.

Then there was a difference of opinion, and MissRon80 was no longer working with me.  Kelpie stepped forward to work as my co-author on it.  Holy cow. We are set to write one chapter a month, and we have stuck with that.  But she pushes me all the time for the next chapter.  She watches it with me… she instituted Wednesday with Colin pics.  Yes.  I love Captain Hook!  Look, when 4Padfoot was playing around, she made me the pic below.  And I found someone who loved him just as much!  Not only does she love it, she enables me by sending out (me) pics every Wednesday.  I look upon them as my reward for posting .

Captan Hook!

In addition, we were talking about warning buttons.  And she made me some when I fell in love with hers.

Are they not awesome??? LMAO!  Now to remember to use them!

She is a busy mother, and she still has the time to write, she encourages me to go to the gym with her own antics (And I have a look alike David Tenant there to drool over…)   She brings a quick wit, and has no problems talking over anything.  She has helped me with my new role as the interviewer of TB/SVM for the non-canon awards.  She makes her own banners, and is willing to jump in and help any of us out on the group.

So.. Thanks Kelpie!! I appreciate you!!!

Videos.

Hmm here is a surprise.  I made one.  I had NO idea what I was doing, and somehow I mashed the right buttons and made something.  No one was more surprised than me!!! After I did it, 4Padfoot helped me out and showed me some tricks, telling me to play to figure out what I want to do.  I have the computer, I have the program, and hopefully I can make some videos for my stories.  Hey.  I am doing my banners!! Gyllene and 4Padfoot now are not bothered to make the easy stuff anymore.  I ask them for the hard stuff now.  LMAO!

So here is my first ever video.

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0PcOcM_4oI?rel=0]

It is Damon, Whataya Want From Me. Click and leave me your opinion.

Next up, well I am keeping with the Damon theme, and will put back 4Padfoots tribute to him to inspire me…

Let’s get READY to RUMBLEEEEE

true-blood-eric-northman-quotes-17

According to sources, catchy titles is the way to get attention around here.  I’m trying it, but I can’t see why. I am also told that Neat Gif’s so it too.  So I chose the gif to go with the video theme tonight.

What is going on in the world of Kittyinaz.  I have been working on those Interviews and reviews.  I am still on Meridian, and will be reviewing her stories until I am done there then move on to the next author on the list.

I am also working on my database of stories for us to update the Rec list.  I was going to use sites like An Teaspoon and an Open Mind, but their way of posting things made it so difficult to get the information I needed it was not worth it.  Dokuga is working fine, and so forth, so when I can, I will get everything updated.  Right now, I am only adding the outside sites, and what is on my site already.  When I am done, I will make the forms and such, then go into FanFiction and add the newbies.

I am also working on editing.  The only two stories that will be written on is IND and Heavenly (Harry Potter Fic).  I am trying to reread Chamber of secrets since my story starts off in there and manages to starts fixing stuff all over the place.  It’s interesting to my group who has had a sneak peak in each chapter.  WE started a suitor thread in there, and they have managed to add Dobby into the loop.  Not too sure, but I have said I would add anyone with a request and a second…

All I Want, my version of fixing the mess is with the Beta for the first Chapter.  Once I am done with that I will be moving on to the next one and so on.  Remember Weekly Updates start for me on Wednesdays.  And then the following Wednesdays, the stories are going to be added to the other sites.  FanFiction is going to be eased out the door.  They are getting stupid there.

I have been kept updated by Mistress Jessica on what is going on in TB, and so far, I am so not feeling it.  Quite blankly, it sucks.  How sad is it I am glad I write FanFiction and can my little shipper heart to happier worlds.  But I will say, that both the show and books like to screw over the majority of their fans.  However, it makes that we are now one of the few fandoms that the main pairing that is written about is considered Non-canon!  Hey.. I try to look for silver linings.

I am very tired today but I have finished week 2 of the couch potato to 5k.  I am, per doctors orders having to do the first month on the bicycle.  When I complete week 4, I will be moving on to the elliptical and will be working to be running 20 minutes every other day.  I am also working on weights for the upper body, and let me tell you.  While NOT being sore from the Couch potato to 5k part, the weights are kicking my ass.  But I will persevere and I will be at this time next year a totally different person.

My sleeping issues are still there but I am slowly bringing them under control.  I have a sleeping monitor device through my iPhone and funnily enough, working out does not affect me that way.  There is no difference between working out and not.  However, there is a difference if I write or not.  So again, my brain rules my body.  Anyone shocked?  I’m not.

Ok.  So you know how people complain on writers block?  I complain on editing.  I can write anytime, but I cannot Edit anytime.  But I will work through it and hopefully repetition will get it in the right set up in my mind..

I will do the person of the week again starting next week. The bullshit that is True Blood has sapped my happiness.

But I will do videos on the hope it cheers all of us up.

The first one is a FanFiction made one by TwistedWhiteWolf

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZMPRCl5kgQ?rel=0]

I have read this, and I love it.  I am hoping that you guys will read it, and will encourage her to finish writing the series… She gave me Alex as Caius…  And inspired Points of Authority and it’s more in-depth counterpart, Wisdom, Justice and Love.

Ok.  That made it where I thought of the theme for today.  Alexander Skarsgard.  He was missing today in action, so we will do videos that have him in them!

The next one is Sookie & eric – Ho hey

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fk0pfKD3qEE?rel=0]

the next one is Eric & Sookie (True Blood) Stay

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtTNd4OgAo0?rel=0]

The next one is Eric & Sookie I See You

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKKak5SfEUU]

The last one is a happier song.  It’s Let’s Go Straight to Number One

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKahk0fPIKU]

Are you ready for Sunday?

Happy Father's dayHappy Father’s Day to any Dad’s reading this!  I am not sure who all is following this anymore, so I figure I will give it, since Dad’s do so much for us all.

Today is the first father’s day that I only have one dad.  More than some, I know, but since both of my dad’s have been around me my whole life, I never known to have only one.  I lost my granddad’s early in life, or didn’t know them.  So I had one of those for most of my life, and he passed away a year ago.  Well a year and a half ago.  But he had been gone much longer than that.

So all in all, a bittersweet Father’s Day.  Luckily, my dad, my stepdad, understands. He laughed yesterday when I stole someone thing he wanted to buy out of his hands and bought it for him.  Hey, it’s guaranteed to be something he wanted right?

I am sorry I haven’t been keeping up with the Sunday posts, but let’s face it.  Life Sucks for me lately.  But I am tired of being down, so let’s try to cheer up!

News:  Ok for those that are not aware (aka not in the group) I have been teasing chapters of a story Royal Ember inspired.  It is not connected to her story, in fact not the same story at all, but her story sparked my muses to making me dream of it, so she gets credit!  It is a Harry Potter/Twilight crossover, and so far my group is loving it.  My Beta will be Bertie Bott, who is a potterhead to help me not make newbie mistakes.

Where I am in writing, I going to finish up the plotline that is pushing me to write Heavenly (The new story) and finish another crossover, then I will edit.  I am struggling with the other two, so I want to get you guys the stories that are all set, and then I won’t feel like the world is pushing me.  So there will be 3 new stories coming to you.  Heavenly is going to break my no new stories posting until they are done, cause it will be epic.  I will need cheerleading.

What If is the story I am working on, that is giving me fits, and I will edit the chapters I have on it.  Then I will try to finish it after I am done editing everything.  I want it gone, I was in a bad place when I wrote it and I am trying to actively not go there with everything going on around me.  I want it done, and I am working to give you guys a suitable ending for it.  I will not cop out with it, but I will tell you I will be changing it up to make it possible to write it.

You guys will be getting a new E/S/G, I have had up the video that inspired the story, and it’s called All I Want.  Mknue will be the beta on that one.  It is my fix for the fuckery.  It starts at the end of Season 6.

The second new story based on my Points of Authority one shot in Twilight.  This will be done in sections, The first being Wisdom.  The fic is called Wisdom, Justice and Love. It is being beta’d by Bertie Bott.

The last I will finally reveal.  It is a Mummy/Twilight crossover.  Don’t ask why, but everyone who has read it, has been excited about it.  It too will be done in three segments.  Unlike Wisdom, there is no structure and no guarantee the length of the chapters.  This one has no beta.

I will be editing what I have of What If, and that beta is Magsmacdonald.

When done editing, I am hoping to finish up What if, and write more on I never… did.  You gusy are so excited for the story, as well as I am, that I want to keep it going.  I will be finishing In The End (ITE) and will be starting Edge.  I want to make sure you guys have plenty to read.

10380272_10154314964465604_3758709218573470828_n

Ok.  Who is up to be recognized?  Meridian!!! This lady is freaking AWESOME!!! She is the Queen of my Betas for a reason.  She is one of 4 betas who sync with my brain so well that its kinda scary!  She is also the one who after seeing all the stuff I was working on before, told me I was insane and took off my hands the updating of all my fics on the sites, but for Fiction Pad.  She also is the one who decides who will be betas, and partners them up with people, and doing all that stuff.  She wants me to write.  Seems she likes my brain or something.  She also listens to me rant, me throw ideas and when I am doing nothing but brainstorming.

But most importantly?  She jumps on board with me doing projects, and she is also the one who tells me.. slow down.  She looks after me personally, and often listens to me when I ramble.  She supports my efforts in Photoshopping, even if she doesn’t like it.  She is one of those prized friends that we all need.  One that is honest, and sticks by you no matter what.  She tells you the truths you don’t want to hear when you need to, to support you when you need it and just there.  Odd that I have never met her, but she is truly one of the few people I tell everything to.  Even when she calls me a murderer on a story I am writing.  LMAO

She also writes, and it is I who found her first.  I found her by Anticipating, and bugged the shit out of her on Ao3.We talked, and then she shocked me by loving my stories, and then offered to beta the now Set you Free Trilogy.  Holy shit!! This awesome writer wanted to work with me?  Since then it has been a ride and a half.  I’m still amazed that she loves my stories.

Then there is the fact she is the muse whisperer.  She encourages the muses, and I think she whispers to them too much, but I love it. She is also the one when I said I wanted to write something Original, she jumped in.

So go read her stuff.  It is awesome, and I will be featuring her as my first author, cause well, she was the first one to turn it in!! So look for the interview, and the reviews of her story to be posted soon.

Music_edited-7 Christi-1

Videos!!!  Yes I will be doing these again, even though I still cannot leave a message on You Tube for the amazing artists to know they are being featured.

I think I will do videos who inspired Stories…

The first one is In The End Sookie and Eric.  The name helps with the story.  In The End.  Don’t ask how, I can’t tell you, but it was watching this that started the wheels started to turn.

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dD7tVJcLr7M]

The Next one is Can We start again.. That inspired All I Want.

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Lag35lcorg?rel=0]

The What If questions inspired me to make my own What if on it all.  My fix for the fuckery of True Blood.  So much will be fixed per me…

This is the video that inspired me to write more on I Never…Did:

Eric + Sookie – Love don’t die

This is one of the videos that helped with my first fic.  Alice and Hatter.

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfEZwPnuI_k]

Yes I am addicted to this pairing to this day, and I look forward to finishing the fics up!

The next video is one of the biggest motivating videos, and the song is stuck in my head…

 [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkVMZtdL7Ik]

Alice/Hatter You Said You Would Die for Me.

That’s it for today.  Next week I will include more….

See you soon!

Wendy

12 Years ago, at this time, I was celebrating…..

14631_100301726663441_7776175_n

Yes, 12 years ago, I married my husband who is the most wonderful man in the world. (if I could find my wedding pics online, I would show you guys!)

My wedding was not one that people would think was awesome, but it does show that I do naturally think that not only is the glass half full, but I can honestly say, it is full.  My wedding would be what most consider a disaster.  I would have legitimate reason to tell you the horror story and you would feel for me.  But instead, I laughed.  I laughed to hard I cried when I was walking up the aisle. I laughed all through the ceremony.

I bet you are thinking, that there is no way a wedding can be that bad.  Well.  Judge for yourself.  I got to the church, and thought we were trying to do an early wedding and it was windy, it was also Houston, TX and Hot and humid.  Everyone was in suits and so forth.  I was excited, and went up to my mom and asked if I can finally see the bouquet.  The look on her face was one of horror.  See, everyone had their flowers, all fake.  But I wanted real ones.  So they had to be picked up the day of.  And it was forgotten.

Charlie, a friend of my brother’s, and one I consider a brother to me, volunteered to get them.  He left, and we waited to for the ceremony to start once he got back.  All standing around outside.  My to be husband, was parked in the shade of the church, in a running vehicle.  While I was walking around in a wedding gown.  I also had the fun of the best man hugging me, knocking out my veil.  Let me tell you, he had no idea how to put in a comb, and tried to shove it directly in my head.  My ladies rescued me, and helped me put it back in.

Two hours later, Charlie comes back, and hands me the bouquet, saying that he loved me enough that he passed up girls in bikinis on the side of the road, not once, but twice.

We lined up to walk down the aisle, and the prior night, we had decided to do the traditional walk, AFTER the rehearsal.  We practiced it at my aunts house that had all the bride’s party.  The following day, my brother and my cousin Amanda walked up the aisle.  And even after telling each other which foot to lead off on, they seemed to have a slight issue of knowing which foot was the right one.  That started me laughing.  I got myself ready, and my dad and I talked as we waited for the music to turn.  I told him not to worry about the foot, because with my dress, no one could see my feet.

The other concern is that the gazebo we were to be married in, the same one that my dad and mom got married in again at, had three steps.  All my ladies had strapless dresses, and Amanda was nicknamed Grace for her habit of tripping.  She did fine, as did the rest of the ladies.

But me.  First we had stutter steps as my dad tried to sync our steps.  This started me laughing.  I had a friend of the family singing while I walked up, and as we go up the stairs, I trip.  And barely caught myself.  My dad was confused no idea what to do.  So I laughed harder.

My maid of honor was Marty’s sister.  Her name was also Amanda.  She had tissues ready with each lady having backups.  I cry at weddings.  Have since I was a baby.  So their expectation of me crying at my own wedding was well founded.  They had no idea what to do with me laughing.  I tried soooo hard to stop.  But my brother, Best man who is a best friend to Marty and I, and Sessel who is a awesome friend to both of us were who I was staring at.  NONE of those men can hide their amusement at my predicament.  So I laughed through out the whole wedding.  The pastor who married us, was highly amused, knowing my family in Texas very well.

If I can find it, I will post the picture of my husband lifting up my veil and making faces at me when I told him to be careful, not knowing why.  The rest of the guests cracked up knowing why I said that.  Smiles were huge on everyone’s face, but the crowning moment?  The Pastor asked everyone to pray for ‘the blessing of Martin and Marty.”  Not able to help myself, I whispered yelled (Amazing how those carry so well when you don’t mean to isn’t it) “Wendy!”  Dammit.  I wanted to be blessed too!

The story I found was told the following day at church services.  Kevin, our pastor, remarked, he had never seen a happier bride when everything goes according to plan.  To have what would cause most brides to melt down, and instead I laughed the whole time, was something he found amazing.

And it never ended that day.  I wanted a Texas style BBQ for my wedding reception.  I wanted everyone comfortable, to have the memory of having fun more than the ceremony and all that.  We went home, and EVERYONE changed.  It was soo hot!  Then Marty and I went through the line of food first, sat down inside to eat, then went outside to drink some more.  Only to be ragged on since they couldn’t have fun with us.

However, to this day… That wedding has been one that many people tried to reproduce.  EVERYONE had fun.  They tell the story, and how the following day, I went with the family to Galveston, and burned so badly I couldn’t sleep.  The ride home was miserable.  However, I remember the fun we had, the unique wedding I had, and how everyone enjoyed it.  Once we started.  LOL!

Lesson learned, “It is all up to the people involved if the events are pleasant.”  My wedding on paper was a failure.  But in reality, it adds to the stories.

And no one had forgotten the brides flowers ever since that.  They even designate someone to pick them up.  Hey, we may mess up stuff, but we do learn quickly.

So news…

testEric-Northman-ITE_edited-3byRobin

The interview for Eric from In The End is up.  Finally.  Many huge thanks to Meridian who beta’d the thing for me.  missrissa81 who made sure we didn’t spill any secrets (Or me mix up who I was interviewing), and 4Padfoot  for putting it all together.  Sorry it was so late, life and I have had our odds.

I finished the chapters for I Never Did, and I will be doing the chapter for Best, then editing the chapters for IND when I am done.  then back to work finishing up some of the others.  Now don’t get me wrong, IND is by no means finished.

Thirsty-for-Your-Love

This week Ashley aka Bertie Bott is my star of the Week.  This lady is freaking awesome.  She not only writes, mothers, manages her business, take care of her family, she is also one of the main Betas in my group.  She is the Mentor.  You know how I tell you guys that Betas are not thrown in the deep end anymore?  She is the reason why.

On top of this, the same weekend I figured out Photoshop, she and I got together and learned how to do stuff.  She makes a lot of banners for the ladies, and she is also a big supporter of Crossover Haven. She had made it possible for me to get to meet Ian in September.  But my biggest lookforward?  To meet the woman!!   She is gracious, and a huge supporter of mine.  she also writes some awesome stories!  She bounces ideas off me, and I am thrilled to know, and to see what those ideas come out in her words.  Let me tell you, knowing what is going to happen doesn’t make a ounce of difference.  I am still surprised each and every time.

Thanks Ashley!!!!

I actually had a day I could do the whole post, but I still cannot leave a message for the artists of these videos to know.  Please leave a message for these awesome artists!

Sunday!!!!

Robin made kittyinaz Resized

I know.. you guys are all excited for another Sunday Post.  Please note I am doing this very early (for me.  I have a new sleeping rhythm).

What is going on in my world?  My muse for I Never…Did is being a very big loudmouth.  I had plans.  I was going to get the next chapter of Best out to Kelpie, then work on that interview, then work on the stories.  I have a lot to accomplish.  And what happens?  You guys fed the muse.  Your reviews took what I had and gave my muse a boost, and I am going in a new direction than I planned for I Never Did.  Why?  Well, I thought about it, and it makes more sense for me to go this way.  It’s very interesting the twists and turns have taken it.

Why are you guys to blame?  Remember I said long ago, that while I write for myself and my betas, you guys can affect what happens with reviews?  Yeah.  That.  Already you have moved ITE up to being finished next writing period.  And now I have I Never Did being written.  I had other plans, but I read a really nice review.  It motivated me.  And you guys have already two chapters in the bank while I am going to be writing more.  And on top of that, one of the pages I follow for TB information had sent out their Video of the Week, and they threw in another one.  Love Don’t Die.  And it fired that muse right up!

Just remember, I Never Did was supposed to be one of those fics I write when my other stuff is just not coming to me.  It does NOT fall under the I-will-finish-it-before-moving-on group.  It is one that as long as Meridian and I have time, we will publish.  It just so happens I feel guilty about not being done with my writing list and You’re is ending this week.  IT won’t happen often, but I never thought my muse would come up with ALL these stories!!

Moving on…

Now I will admit I have a list I am keeping of people to honor in these Sunday posts, and as my group exposes more of their talents, I am adding them to the list!  Feel free to share your extra talents, because lets admit it, you guys are a group of very talented individuals and need to have your efforts applauded.  This is why I have made these Sundays happen.  And who is the person being honored this week?

Magsmacdonald

She is one of my betas, and one of the first ones.  Her story that she betas will be finished this writing jag, but my life is so much richer since meeting this awesome woman.  She is one of the ladies who made my rant on Awards come true.  She also is a freaking awesome author too.  On top of this, she betas for other ladies while keeping this hectic schedule, and she is the leader of a Girl Scout troop!  I never could do all this.  She is always willing to help others.  She unselfishly jumps in and helps whenever someone asks.  I have no idea how she does it, and she works!

She also puts up with me, which ain’t easy.  From what I hear, I am unusual as a writer.  I write out what I guess is a rough draft.  Then I go back and edit it. (Those Final counts, yeah that is the second time through.)  then I hand it off to the Betas.  They have my full permission to work on the stuff I am doing, and they can edit it and do what is needed to make it as clean as they can make it.  In fact I have a game I play.  I tell them they can publish once a week, and publishing weeks start on Wednesdays.  They come back and tell me (And the Facebook group) when they do this, so if I am sleeping (and this happens a lot since my betas come from all over the world), I can write up the posts.  Or they can, if I am sick.  The game?  I go through and try to find the changes.  Not hard.  Especially after I gave a hint one time I can catch them by formatting…

Ok, you are asking what this matters, right?  The thing is, I don’t care what they change, as long as it is still my work.  We no longer toss the new betas into the deep end and hope they swim.  Now they get mentors and we are quite organized.   I have Meridian who is in charge of the betas, and Bertie Bott has stepped up to help her out.  4Padfoot handles my webpage for me.  missrissa81 is my Continuity Beta.  Since she somehow keeps all my stories in order in her head and can help any of us with plot points. Gyllene is 4Padfoot ‘s minion.  LOL!  Though she is more than welcome to do anything, she seems to be able to help me a lot on Photoshop.  And she is the reason we have a freaking awesome new Song Lists Banner that the two of us worked on.  I did the putting together of logos from bands on my iTunes.  They are not even close to being all of them.  Then I was stuck.  She came through and did the Music thing over it all and made it look awesome.

Mags is one of the people who made all this possible.  She stepped up when I was floundering, took over her story and soon asked me awesome questions to make the story even better.  While she was awesome and I counted myself so lucky to have her, it was not until the You Want Blood Awards came about that I really got to know her.  And can she make me laugh.  I love working with her, and love it when she is online. So hop over to her site.  Read her freaking awesome stories.  (I am personally in love with Make A Wish!).  Tell her I sent you.

Ok this week the videos! This week is hard since I am having some sort of error with YouTube.  I can’t watch half of the videos this week.  Grrrrr  So… Funny Videos this time.

First off, I am a huge David Tennant fan.  And I love Top Gear.  So this cracks me up, specially after my hubby showed me the actual show with this one on it.  I thought you guys may want a laugh.
