for blogging every day, and then I sit down to write and *poof*. Ideas disappear. Too much in my head. Brain isn't working and I have to edit so posting this and going back to editing Dark Illusions: The Next Chapter - Extended Edition. So freakin tired so that's adding to it. Have a great …
Finally got to write
Yesterday when I was trying to write, nearly every few letters the laptop would freeze and act up, then that cycle would repeat. I'm not sure what was going on with it so I finally called it quit after a few tries. I didn't want to risk the computer crashing but I also kept getting …
Toasting my lil bottums
We've had a steady warm streak here. It's toasty. Some of the Shih Tzus are a little sick in the mornings because it's pretty stuffy. The featured image is the picture that I took yesterday while Lucy came to hang with me and Mila. Mila was just in front of Lucy. I tried having the …
Random chat
I have a lovely headache that is not going away, even with Aleve. That's usually my last resort because I learned last year or so that if I allow the headache to reach a certain point in a pain way, and I do nothing as I used to prefer, that it'll develop into a migraine. …
Too busy
Trying to deal with something, so don't have time to type anything up. Here's the word count for today. Today's word count for War of the Lycaen Started today at - 47,313 Ended today at - 48,549 Total word count for today - 1,236
I pretty much have no clue
where this is going. I didn't plan for this one bit. Kylarra and Sean are doing their own thing. Although Sean pointing out that she may have the ability to tap into the ability to have visions? May just turn this back to a path I know. That path I formulated and understand. This one …
Hmm, didn’t expect that
Didn't expect things to turn out the way they had. There are (and were) many angles that I'd written out and considered. But now that I'm actually writing the storyline and where Kylarra is headed, I'm a little surprised at her choices. Goes to show that not even the writer knows where their storyline will …
Man oh man
Big bombshell dropped at the end of the story today. Words were flowing fairly well and the story is too. It's getting intense though. I'm curious to see what's going to come from that big ol' drop of information. Julian and Kat's relationship will be tested at this point. Big time. But I think they'll …
Officially halfway through
And I'm enjoying using the laptop on battery for the first time in a long time. I was gifted a new battery since mine had reached critical level from my lovely editor. Love her and I super duper appreciate it. Early birthday gift in many ways. My birthday is August 15th. First day so I …
Quarter of the way in
Finally got some sleep last night, though not much better than the previous. Though I could NOT fall asleep before freaking Midnight. I was wide awake, unable to sleep, and then my arm started bugging me, lol. Story is going very good. I'm a quarter of the way in. It's time we're going to get …
Words are going strong again
Back in action [with my word count]. Actually I'm surprised I did so many. It really didn't feel like it. Below I have some fun pictures I've been taking over the weekend, and a video of the baby junco who has been a joy to watch. He is just adorable and been enjoying the heat …
Almost forgot
This is why I do these before I edit. I almost forgot! lol I get so dang into the editing (or book cover making), then suddenly all day has passed by. Well, not that bad, but it can so easily get that bad. So not talkie about the story. But I did want to share …
Verrick’s revenge
So in fact we find out that Verrick's bite is . . . nasty. In my head I saw the after effects, but until I began to write, there was no guarantee on how it would turn out. Today we find out that we don't want Verrick to bite us in his beastly form! It's …
Final read going well so far.
Finished Mila's blanket this afternoon. Here are some pictures of it. I'm currently washing it so she can use it tonight. The pictures don't look as fluffy because it's pre-wash. I ended up doing a simple shell border (made from 5 dc). I ended up with just over 12 inches left of that gray. Instead …
Starting final read through of DITB – Extended Edition & online connections – some thoughts
In just a bit I will be doing a final read through of Dark Illusions: The Beginning - Extended Edition. Not too much to do but skim at this point since I don't have anything really to change. It's more of a double-check round to see if I have certain scenes the way I want …
Oh, she got herself in trouble
So admittedly he should've expected that reaction. One doesn't prod a redhead for long and expect them to remain casual complacent beings, more so when they are known for having a temper and being protective of their mate. And even more when one knows who their parents are. But then Luke understood exactly what he …
Just what lurks within?
Kylarra is being poked, she is being prodded, and now the effects are taking place. The reaction Luke had the other day to one of her reactions was interesting. He seemed a bit . . . dare we say . . . scared? Whhyyyyy? Has he figured out what she's becoming? Or did he possibly underestimate …
The Queen is back
Now they're gonna have their hands full. Not only has Mila made Kat feel better and given her what Kat truly needed (earth's energy - magic, love, whatever you'd like to call it), but I think this is gonna make Kat feel better than she has in a while. So . . . ya know. Look …
Loss, upheaval, loss.
It's amazing how many losses one can go through. Every single year I've suffered a huge loss since 2015. 2017 was emotionally nutso and the energies too. It was exhausting. I was hoping 2018 would be better. We are now at May and I'm just tired of all the changes and exhausting losses that keep …
Julian was paying close attention
I shouldn't be surprised, really. As casual as Julian can be, he's still a business man so for him, he takes in everything someone says, processes it, and will come to a conclusion in the same time it takes others just to finally hear everything said. His brain is designed to do that with great …
