Writing Update

 
Two great things happened writing wise this week!

ChicGalleria   Is doing a promo give away - signed copy, etc.

Spinetinglers  Did a great review on Beyond My Imagination - The Fantasy Short Story Collection.  Once its officially on the Site, Ill post a link.

Ive been pushing to try to finish up CB2 by the the beginning of Oct.  Life has been mostly work, writing, and keepig up w/ FaceBook, Twitter and here of course.  Im also on livejournal.  Must keep my name out there.  Hah!  Gawd that sounds funny.

Follow me at:

Twitter

FaceBook

LiveJournal

I  still try to get on WoW when I can, but, its a bit on the 'back burner' w/ turning my mind set around, and focusing on my writing.  My acct actually got hacked about a Month ago, so, once they got em' back in stock, both the hubby and I got Authenticators.

Getting a craving for Chinese food.  Heh!

Ciao for now!

This and That

 
Not a whole bunch of news, but, thought Id post Something seeing as its been a few days. 

Been alot more consistant w/ CB 2 the last couple of weeks - think there was some fear / confidence stuff going on.  Working past that (the feedback I get from the 1st book def helps w/ that) and so the 2nd installment is really coming along.  I think Oct. is when itll be rdy to submit or self publish, whatever I decide. 

Im not sure if having a book out there already would help or hurt w/ getting an agent etc.  Not that Ive been known to do things the easy way, anyway.  Heh! 

Hubby and I are starting to think about what we want to do to the Condo, and trying to get a plan to actually Save the money for it.  I think a tankless heat pump, heater, whatever its called, would be the best bet.  We know we want all new windows at some point, and I really, really want to replace the patio door.  (the screen doesnt really work on it, so sucks for gettting 'fresh' air.

We plan on catching Harry Potter tomorrow night, obviously 'Fandangoing' the tickets.  hehe  Should have tried to reread the book b/f hand but ...  ah well.  Seeing as Im off tomorrow, really need to think about getting my hair cut.  Heh!

Give Away for CB or Big Things in Little Packages:
just be 75th person to follow me on Twitter.

Here and There

 
Not too much news at this end.  Although its still not my own masterpiece,  Hah!  I have a new design for CreatorBornOnline.  A little nicer on the eyes at least - well, I think at least. 

Been actually able to lower my WoW game play time and focus on 'real-life' stuff.  Mainly Creator Born 2, and logging into Here, Facebook, and Twitter. 

I found out Youtube has alot of Dr. Katz clips - loved that show!!!  Extremely clever and funny.  Theres a DVD of the entire series, that will absolutely be on my BDay and or Christamas list.  Heh! 

Contest still going on - Follow me on Twitter, and send me a direct msg w/ contact info ect, and get a free signed copy or either Creator Born or the T.S. Autobiography.

Check in out!

6/4 = One of Those Days

OK, Car story for yall;

Got to my car after work last night, started Her, and got a half-hearted try from the girl and then 'click, click, click'.  I got outa the car, and walked around the car (dont ask me why)  anyway, when I got to the back, Voila!  the trunk for some stupid reason was open.  So apparently the trunk light being on can drain the battery.  Yeah ...  Nice employee offered to assist, but neither one of us had jumper crap.  Yes Im taking car of that) Hubby rushes to rescue, but couldnt get a connection.  Did I mention its drizzling through all of this??  We have roadside assist, through our insurance, so we had someone jump us that way.  Yay! Car started.  After asking me (begging me) at least 2 times to Keep car running once I parked - wait for it - I turn off the car.  Realizing as soon as I did that Im an RTard, I start it up again.  'click, click, click,  (sighs)  Daddy in law adv that issue might be w/ the car being 5 years old, and w/ me draining the battery completely, I might just need a new one.  We have a regular charger and are going to try that through the day tomorrow, since Im off.

The hubby drove me in today and obviously picking me out tonight.  If by a miracle he gets it going b/f picking me up, were taking Her for a Very Very long drive through the country.  Hah!

Whew - how was your Thursday???

The Fun Never Ends ...

 

Hhmmm lets see ...

The hubbys car finally gave up the ghost, so to speak.  Hes now the proud owner of a car note.  Heh!  Its a PT Cruiser - kinda funny b/c the next day we heard about Chrysler going under.  Ive been in it a couple times, and it seeems OK.  Im just glad he has a reliable car. 

Ashtma is under control finally.  The cough etc was sooo distracting.  It kept me from doing much of anything.  If I wasnt at work, I was at home, and even had to miss a couple days of that.  I didnt want to go out incase of an attack - awkward to start coughing and hacking while in a full restaurant or shopping or in a movie.  Ppl wouldnt know its ashtma and just assume Im crud ridden, and get annoyed and wonder why I wasnt at home if Im sick ...

My printer is outa ink.  Meh!  Means a unwanted trip to Staples or OfficeMax.

Oh!

Chocolate (Thai movie)= Amazing!!!
Jeje Yanin is incredible.
Im like watching it like nearly eveyday since we bought it.

Keep in mind:

cough, gag, puke

  • I'm feeling:
Been dealing w/ a nasty cough for the last 3 weeks or so, so thats my excuse for not posting alot.  :)  Combine it w/ a bit of nausea, muscle weakness, headaches - you know, the basic flu-like crap.  It seems like the whole entire world is one big germ, right now.  lol  Not that its funny, but, seriously, whats going on???  I was on antibiotics for like 10 days, which didnt do much, and Im worried about going back to Patient First.  I mean, who knows who might be there infected w/ what?!  Gah! 

Did end up having a good weekend, though.  The Ravencon convention was in Richmond, and I had a table. Saturday was fine, about what I expected, but Sunday was slow.  Very slow.  lol  Ah well.  Made a couple connections, and did have a few sales, interest etc. on Saturday.  So, never a loss cause.  Besides, it was located like 10 min away, literally, so ...     

Yet again, needing to say that Im still almost rdy to print out rough draft of CB 2.  Im still really wanting to have it finsihed for Oct.  Would be wonderful to take copies home w/ me at Thanksgiving. 

Im storygirl70 on Twitter, if anyone wants to follow.
20th follower will get a signed copy of either Creator Born or the T.S. autobiography.  (depending what youre interested in)

Primal Scream Time

 
Maybe Im cranky, b/c Im hungry, (lowered calories, in hopes of losing weight for the Summer - Heh!) but having a really aggravating week.  Agitated, grumpy, and overall plain ol' frustrated. 

Work is demanding, home life is demanding.  Gawd, WoW is becoming demanding.  lol Theres nothing that isnt making me feel overloaded atm. 

Anyway, just needed to vent.  Im taking a couple days off in May, so hopefully that will rejuvenate me, again.

A learning Curve

I hate when you think youre prepared for something - you believe youre rdy - then have an epic fail, b/c what was actually required, wasnt what you anticipated.  (sighs)

All I can do I guess, is take it as a learning exp, and move on.  Hopefully learn from it, and move on.  I know I can press on, and look for other oportunities, but .. meh.  I swear, I havent done anything the easy way in my life, I dont think.

Ok, had no idea what to expect w/ The Watchmen, and Im still scratching my head, w/ what it is I actually saw.  The msg seems kinda Liberal to me, though.   Although they did kinda make the guy out to be like an Al Gore, and made him kinda like a Terrorist, so .... maybe its good ??  muahaha  Yes, I watch and love my Fox News Channel

Oh - figured out the short story thing from Lulu - so I can do them as a separate download only thingy.  Will update the Site for it - Ok w/ the T.S. Site, but really, really miss the one for my writing w/ all the fluttering faeries.  The one I use for my writing Now, is not impressive in the least.  Contents there, but in no way pretty.  Will try to get the stuff I need to possibly FTP the 1st Site I had  from my old comp - think the files are still there.  Will just need to hope bravenet will place nice w/ them hehe
And please, from either Site, and this blog, you can reg to be updated when I post a new entry.  Com'on you cant get enough of me, you know it!  hahaha
Peace, Love and Happiness

Happenings

Wow - crazy snowing  goodness!  Good news, I got to take off on Monday, grumpy causing news is that Im replacing the hours.  Dont want to lose the OT hours Im putting in.  Silly me forgot to get pics, and of course now everything is melting.  Bleh.  That is a good thing, though.  Wont complain if we get some gorgeous Spring weather out there.

Had a great supper out w/ Tizzrah, and her hubby last Sat.  Thanks guys!  Quite enjoyed.    Its always nice to hang out, and catch up w/ the awesome fluffies that own them.   hehe

Got my copy of my Short Story Collection in the mail.  (I ordered one as a 'proof' to take another look at it.  Although I 'approved' it, I really didnt like the formatting at all - the print was too small.  I shouldnt have let it pass, but, at the time, I didnt know how to correct it. All that crap is done at my end.  And w/o any real marketing, I wasnt worried about a zillion copies going out b/f I felt it was finished.  lol

My DVR messed up, and I now no longer have Mary Poppins, or The Wizard of Oz saved.  (Cries)  We also had the WoW episode of Soutpark saved too.  Ugh!

Anyway, lunch is almost over.

Ciao!!
