  1. I have a terrible, very bad, no good idea...Oh, who am I kidding, I’m so writing this bitch. *evil grin*

      You mean you really are??? Oh, yes!!! *jumps up and down* Best news all year!

      Hehe, it’s about to get dark up in here.

  2. So I guess my lucky streak continues… I just got offered a contract to publish Falling for Him!!! Off to celebrate with a bottle of wine! 

  3. Laundry is a job that is never done, unless you were to have the whole family go naked for a day. I've decided that when the kids leave I'm instituting a naked day once a week just so I'll for once in my life know what it feels like to actually be done with my laundry.

      I definitely say go for the "scar them for life" scenario. It'll cut down on them bringing home laundry, or, eventually, grandkids. :D

      Because I'd end up the only one embarrassed/scarred since they are all male and not that shy about being nude around each other, they may not like me seeing them but I think I'd enjoy it even less on both accounts. :P

    4. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      Oh, well. Then I guess every day is Laundry Day for a while yet.

  4. Ever feel like you don’t have a clue what you’re doing?

      @Desiderius Price If you were with my kids today, you’d be thinking fondly about cats yourself, trust me.

      In my next life, I want to be a gay man with an allergy to diapers.

      Cats aren’t all they’re cracked up to be when you have 5 -_-

      And here I thought I was mad with only 3….

  5. So Torquere Press is going to publish Loving Sarajevo, who'd have thunk it? So giddy still that I feel like I'm drunk!

      ... Is that why it's been hidden...? *cries* I was in the middle of reading it! Oh, well... gonna go and buy it; congrats!!

  6. Well tomorrow is our 17 year anniversary, can't believe we've been married that long! They're taking me to the cabin for a surprise. I'm not sure if I should be excited or scared...

      If, when you get to the cabin, there's a book bound in human skin and deadites, the answer is scared.

      Unfortunately our weekend was cut short due to a work emergency but my surprise was nice. They'd planted 30 lilac bushes around the property, I'm very pleased... Oh and thanks everyone.

  7. I have, after much thought, decided to set my writing aside and focus more on my family. Thanks for putting up with me this long, it's been fun. See ya!

      I admit, I was on the phone with the dentist office when I read this and they almost got a 'Nooooo!" XD good one, CL.

  8. So I’m not going to be around much for the next month or so (not that I’ve been particularly present of late anyway) because I’m moving to GERMANY!!! So you kids play nice while I’m gone and hopefully the German internet company won’t take the whole 3 weeks it says it will to hook up my service. Auf Wiedersehen!

      But… @BronxWench that’s how a move is supposed to go, and sort it out “later”.  :devil:

      The daft bugger has learned that not doing it my way just means twice as much work for him, and crappy dinners for a month. :D

    4. Desiderius Price

      Desiderius Price

      My parents will *still* search for boxes for something based on the room the item was in from a house that was moved out of 25 years ago!  So, yeah, I know how it goes.

  9. Someone care to remind me of why I spent 5 hours cooking today? Really all that time and they devoured it in under 20 minutes and headed back to their rooms. Next year we're having take away.

      Well we don't celebrate Thanks Giving, and nor does anyone else on earth. lol

      It was sort of a Thanksgiving dinner but yesterday was actually a Bosnian holiday and the kids were off school so it was a mash up of the two holidays.

  10. It’s official, our first over 70 degree day as it is currently 73 degrees out! There are buds on the trees and it’s time to break out the summer clothes! Woohoo! (Nah, I’m not excited or anything like that. :D )

      I’m not sure.  All I know, is that the ground here is so saturated that we’re certainly going to be going into flood warnings quickly if the rain keeps up.

    3. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      I’m seeing wind Wednesday, and cold, but then rain over the weekend. Gah...

      Must be nice… *grumbles* :P

  11. Arguing about where to go for summer vacation, I want a beach...I shall get a beach!

      Looks great! Hope you have a good time then :)

  12. So my 3 new works in progress are sort of strange, one has a cyborg unicorn, one has plausible MPREG with the strangest shifter species ever and the other has a resurrecting superhero... I probably won't post any of them because I don't want to be committed.

      KoKoa, you're welcome, too! We can have our own crazy party. I have lots of wine.

    4. CL Mustafic

      CL Mustafic

      Yay wine just when I can drink again! I'm on my way since my crazy is well documented.

  13. Well, Backdoor Politics just hit the 50k word mark. I guess that means I should start winding it down. I love when I get to the last third of the story, it's my favorite part!

      I don't know, I did manage to write something that made dafdes cringe so there's still time. Thought I was writing the last chapter today but the characters wouldn't cooperate so now there will be 20 chaps...

    4. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      Ooohhh... that IS hard to do! But I'm not easy to scare off, either, so don't expect me to walk away.

  14. I totally intended on writing a Halloween story but then Tahn put a plunny in my head and I ended up writing a Backdoor Politics short story. *shakes fist at Tahn* Maybe I’ll get to that Halloween story today. *sigh*

      lol, I will, I promise… but Backdoor Politics is one of the best stories I ever read. I can’t help screaming over this. Seriously :) Even if it is gone midnight here, and I am knackered, and my bed is covered in crap… *sighs* It can wait. The crap, I mean. It’s like, a page long. It’s either this, or some old nineteenth century ghost story that I’ve been keeping on my kindle. Or another few pages of an Anne Bronte novel. I’m going for this before bed. *nods* It will finish my holiday off nicely.

    4. Desiderius Price

      Desiderius Price

      I base my oneshots in my universe because with as much stuff as it covers, there’s a lot of little points that are great fodder for a oneshot.  (Though I do have to be careful, Dale’s Game is the result of last year’s holiday fic.)

  15. Okay so it's official - I'm sick of winter!! I want the sun, no, I demand that the sun return right F-ing now! *stomps foot*

      The blizzard is hitting us now. I'm housing my brother and sis-in-law's apartment flooded so now they're with us. Sis has to work in the morning because she's a nurse. So yeah... where the hell did that Christmas weather go...?

      BronxWench

      27.6 freaking inches of snow. I'd like to order a flamethrower, please?

  16. Signed a contract to publish Backdoor Politics. The story will be coming down in about 22 hours so if you’re in the process of reading it, you better get your read on.

      It’s amazing work, and you deserve it to be published :) I feel very honoured I was able to read it while you were writing :hug:

      Thanks guys. I’m super excited because I figured there was no chance for this one to get published but guess I was wrong. :D

  17. Some days I really miss the old Shout Box. I used to get great title help in there from the users. Now I’m stuck trying to title my own stupid books. :bash:

      @CloverReef Me too. Having to click the box to open it is apparently too hard for me also. lol

      I usually leave the chatbox open in another tab, sometimes with the sound notification on (this depends on the how-much-I-want-to-be-interrupted factor).

    4. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      I miss the shoutbox, and the staff chat, too.

  18. So, just signed a contract for Loving Sarajevo! I’m pretty excited and really looking forward to the end of 2016 because 2017 is going to be awesome. The tentative release date for Falling for Him is April 2, mark your calendars! :P

  19. So I think I just finished my NaNo novel... *falls on couch and passes out for the last 10 days of NaNoWrMo*

      It can take a few weeks. I usually throw myself into a new project and pretend I'm nt checking my email three thousand times a day.

  21. How can you not still love a man that stops to pick you wildflowers every time he's out just because he knows they'll make you smile?

    1. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      Oh, how sweet! I'd love that myself.

      My problem is distinguishing between wildflowers and poison ivy...

    3. CL Mustafic

      CL Mustafic

      Well after almost 20 years of him bringing me wildflowers I think I'd forgive him if he accidentally brought me poison ivy once...Good thing I know what it looks like tho

  22. It's finished! I just finished the epilogue for Backdoor Politics! Now onto something probably best left unwritten...

    1. ChrissyQuinn

      ChrissyQuinn

      Are you going to write an Mpreg story? :P

    2. CL Mustafic

  23. I've just been informed that I am not J K Rowling or George R R Martin. Whew, that really cleared things up for me. I was confused there for a moment.

    1. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      That's good, because having people hunting you down for the next book is apparently very scary. NOT that I'm stalking GRR or anything...

    2. DemonGoddess

      nope, b/c you have to get in line for that one Bronxie...he's got HORDES after him

      I'm personally spending my time perfecting a resurrection spell in case he dares to die without finishing the damned thing.

  24. My 10 yr old son just burst into tears when I broke the news to him that Trump had won. I didn’t understand how invested in this race he was until I asked him why he was so upset. Well you see, my kids are Muslims and he was afraid Trump was going to block him from going back to the place he was born to visit his Grandma and Grandpa (which of course he can’t since we are all American citizens with the passports to prove it). This election has far reaching effects and I don’t think anyone will escape at least a little of the fallout.

    1. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      Please hug him tightly from me. I swear, I have tears in my eyes as I type this. What a price we’re all paying…  :cry:

    2. pippychick

      pippychick

      Oh… poor kid :(

      Tell him he has to go back, because when you’re all there, I’m going to be sending you your box of things, and he might get to have some of the sweets ;)

  25. Of course my first round of edits from the publisher would come just when I've decided to dedicate my time to finishing my WIPs. Guess that's a valid excuse at least for why they're not getting done, right?

    1. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      Oh, hells, yes.

      And feel free to read through the comments, have a glass or two of wine, whimper a lot, and growl at me. :D

    2. pippychick

      pippychick

      Damn, I can only imagine... pro editors would find fault with anything. I bet they're worse than me. *hugs* Don't let them rip your soul out. Keep the bits you love most if you can :)
