  1. I can't wait for the holiday season to be over so I can have time to write again! On the other hand, overtime rocks

      It IS a dilemma. Money vs. creativity. Both bring personal reward. I think, with money, comes freedom to be creative.

      It's a balancing act, that's all. It'll swing one way for a while, then veer to the other side suddenly and without warning, and sooner or later you find it all fairly well evens out if you play it right. Or so I've found. Does depend rather heavily on the "with practice, everything improves" theory, though.

  2. Review Replies chapter 14: midnightsscream ~ thanks for the review. the plot was rather worrisome wasn't it? I wanted to show that Inuyasha and Sesshomaru could fall victim to things like that, but that their relationship had progressed to a point where it wouldn't break them. And as for Inukimi, don't discredit her as a generic bad guy yet. She's difficult, but I will drop a hint that she really is doing this because she thinks its the best thing for Sesshomaru... you'll have to keep reading to find out why! username-classified ~ rofl... ROFL... damn you are lucky I know you irl. part of me wants to smack you because I think you might have scared away my reviewers, and part of me gets a kick out of reading your review... especially the 'maid' part. Thanks for acknowledging that I am trying to keep them sociably/politically responsible in this story. It is so unfortunately true that not everything can be dropped after some good sex! Thanks everyone!
  3. Yes! Finished nanowrimo! *victory dance*!!!!!

  5. I am starting to go all ADHD with my writing... I have six documents open at once x_x maybe I should stop for the day before I start getting confused

  6. <3 rammstein!!! Sex Yeah! ~ Marina and the Diamonds
  7. @Cuzosu haha omg. yeah I think we all do that. The funny thing is when I am writing I like the idea of making my readers have that reaction , and then when I'm a reader I forget about that. @Cuzosu and that sucks about your step sister, but you are right it's not your problem, and there's nothing 'insensitive' about creating a boundary with someone who you can't trust
  8. Raymy, I am lucky to have reviewers, and I am grateful that people take the time to click on the review button and leave me something. But I want to point out that telling an author "hey, I am really looking forward to your next update" or "omg I can't wait for your next update" is completely different than someone taking a threatening tone and saying "you better hurry up if you want to keep your readers." Believe me I read stories all the time where I get to the end of a chapter and say "MORE, MORE" like a deranged fiction gobbling zombie. *that's just me when I read* .... as for calling my girls angel babies, I heard that through a support group I joined because I was really struggling with it. I like calling them angel babies, brings me some comfort. And as for not being able to relate to my fertility issues, I am glad that you can't. I wish that I could make it so that no one ever had to go through what I did.
  9. Ah well good luck with staying awake! And congrats to your aunt. Adoption is a great option, glad she was able to finally adopt I know a lot of people who had to wait for a long time to adopt, but I fully support it. My husband and his siblings were all adopted.
  10. I just crashed and slept like a baby after I got done ranting! Now that I actually slept I feel a little silly that I let the review get to me so bad. I've seen, and dealt with so much worse before. So I'm just going to blame it on being way overtired . As for my cousin: I'm kicking him out. There isn't a darn thing I can do for him, and I know it. His father legally can't dump him until he turns 18, so until then he's going to have to sleep on his dad's couch. I feel bad about it, but I have to do what's right for me, and I have given him every opportunity and chance I could to help him. He's going to be 18 next month so he's going to have to grow up sometime...
  11. So here I was, content, sleepy, about the hit the hay, and I decided "oh why not I'll just check to see if I have any new reviews, 9 times out of 10 thats a no. But heck yeah, I'm going to dream." And what do you know... I got a review: One that just blew my "bitch please" meter into overdrive. The fastest, easiest way to piss me the capital F off is to tell me that I am not working fast enough for your liking. It's not even a flame! At least those I laugh at. "Omjeeeez its taken nearly 3 months to get this far? Get to the action already... I'm starting to forget what this is about the story is moving at a snail's pace. You better hurry if you want to keep your readers active!" - le reviewer Ok punk, you really want to know why I don't update this story all that often? I have a life outside of my writing. Sometimes... most of the time... I wish I didn't. I have spent the last three months being jerked around from full time to part time hours, getting a promotion (which I still haven't received proper compensation for yet). Then being used as a fucking pawn to get someone else fired, and working harder then most of my coworkers (sans pregnant ones) are expected to because if I don't work hard I'll get written up, but if they get written up they'll call ethics on my boss so he doesn't even bother trying to write them up. Oh and not to mention half of my co workers are pregnant, which sucks oh so bad because I am the mommy of two angel babies. My daughters both died, because I am unable to carry a child full term. So every goddamn day when I go into work and people ask me "hey why aren't you pregnant yet?" or make jokes about something being in the water I want to cry... not just cry, but fall into a deep dark pit of darkness and never crawl out again. And it gets better: Since June I've had my cousin, who is 17 living with me. He has issues with girls because his mother abused him, and he takes the 'yolo' phrase to an extreme. Found out that he is creepy as heck. He sits at the base of my bedroom door and listens in when my husband and I are home. I caught him trying to watch us have sex! I freaked out and confided in one of my friends about this situation. I thought she'd understand because she has some weird roommates too, but no... all she said was "well it's a good thing you lost your babies, because you are clearly not ready to be a mother". (omfg wtf!) And my drunkard of an uncle (cousin's father) sits around and blames me that his son doesn't do anything. "Why don't you make him get a job?" the jerk-wad whines! News flash! You live in the same fucking house! I pay you rent to live here. I could just stop paying your boozed up ass so that I don't go broke and insane from having a 17 year old who eats all of my food, and breaks everything... and I mean EVERYTHING in my house. He's your son, you be the parent! Omg, you really expect me to be in the mood to write a fucking pwp fic with shit like this going on in my life? Saying that writing is my best slagging friend! I write like a madwoman every damn day. I divide my before work and after work time into writing for nanowrimo, and writing originals or fanfics... and yes I am ahead of the target goal for nano even though I've written on other things! If I haven't updated a fic don't be so fucking dumb as to tell me that I'm crawling at a snails pace. I don't fucking write on command asshole, especially not for someone who is going to be rude. I'll even tell you a secret: I was just about to write more on that fic, but the second I read your glib little comment I got a little defiant. Now the mood is gone and I have to rant because its 2am, my language is diving down to somewhere between "trailer trash" and "sailor", and.... and... *fizzles out*

  14. Review Replies/Author notes Chapter 13 Thank you all so much for taking the time to tell me how you feel and for rating the story!!!! Snow- Thank you <3 I hope you enjoy this chapter! Rayne- Wow! Brilliant?! lol thanks I am very flattered. Viperbites- I knew you were going to say something about Inukimi. You'll get to hate her for just a little while longer, but don't be so quick to write her off as mean spirited. She has reasons for everything that she does, and a lot of what she tells people is lies. Midnightsscream- Thanks for giving the story another chance. I went into it knowing that the multiple pairings would be a turn off for some people, and that has always been in the back of my mind. And I like a broken Sesshomaru Although I would argue to say that as broken as he is in this story he is also quite strong. I hope you all enjoy the coming chapters. Spiel Mit Mir is close to being completed. I estimate 2-3 more chapters will be left. I wrote ahead in October so that I could post while doing nanowrimo! And then for the news! There will be a sequel! Back when the original version was posted I started to work on a sequel called 'Kuss Mich' (kiss me), but only had one or two chapters posted before I lost everything. The plan from the beginning of rewriting Spiel Mit Mir, was to make it sequel friendly. Thank you all again! Read, Review, Rate! I love to hear from people.
  15. cinnamon buns, sex, money, and election day... what do all these have in common? They are the only things I will skip out on an extra hour of sleep for :P Woke up early and voted!

  16. It depends on what I am writing. I like to do both. Free association writing feels really good, cathartic (my favorite word). Planning writing can be just as satisfying, but for me at least the free association writing tends to lead to the planning. A lot of my stuff originals and fanfictions started off as my imagination bleeding all over whatever I could get my hands on to write with, then as I wanted to develop them into more serious works they started getting more planned. My fanfiction Spiel Mir Mir (Inuyasha) is a planned fic, whereas the first chapter of my fanfic Training (Inuyasha) was free association writing. My creative switch is always pressed to overdrive, so I feel satisfied with writing no matter which route I take.
  17. I agree whole heartedly Gold. I have a bi/yaoi fic in which the majority of my reviews are complaining that the girls are still a part of it, even though I have made it perfectly clear from the beginning that the characters are bisexual. I personally do not believe that females have an inherent bitchiness, or any of that bull shit. I believe that our society teaches girls to hate girls. All you have to do is turn on any reality television program, hell the radio, anything (!) to be slammed with subtle sexist nonsense promoting the idea that all girls are bitches and underhanded. And unfortunately a lot of us don't think about it because we haven't been taught to question what we see, hear, and read. And it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy when girls do buy into it because they think that it is "what every girl does". Maybe my views are just a little shaped by my education: psychology and gender studies, but I cant tell you how many times in the real world I have heard a girl say to me "That's the reason I'm never friends with girls, their all bitches." Wow... kinda pisses me off, partially because I feel insulted that they would say that when I am a girl. Hello! Do you listen to anything that you say?! I also get mad that they so easily put themselves down without a second thought... without even f*cking realizing that they are destroying themselves. (and people wonder why clinical depression is so much higher in females than males?) In fanfics where aspects of the society are amplified the "all girls are bitches" card gets pulled really often. Now saying this I still love the reviews, and I am not going to budge from my decision to write however the heck I want to write the story (as far as that goes anyways, if someone was to tell me my plot had developed a black hole I'd listen). But the strange truth is for those of us who know to look for the sexism, we are still products of the environment around us. The best we can do is try to teach others to look at the accepted belief of what women are, challenge it, and have the humility to realize that we hold stereotypes too. Really really trying to practice nonjudgmental thinking!!!!
  18. I agree with BronxWench. Spanking can be used to discipline a child, and taken to far it can become abuse. I would also like to point out that it could be abuse even if done mildly depending on who the child is and what their history is. For instance using spanking as a discipline for a child that has previously been abused or neglected will always be abuse because of their past circumstances.
  19. Ty Clumsy for helping us all out. Hope things are going well for you. I forgot to look at this thread for a while. What do I need to do for this? I've never done this before.
  20. Today is brought to you by the letter "F"... frustrating!!!!!

      Thanks BW. I got lucky, and only lost power for 4 hours. My parents still haven't had their power return, but at least we are all safe. Hope you and yours are all well too.

  21. Yay nano! It's my first time attempting it too. Good luck!
