New phones always fall on the first day. It’s a universal law. It’s motherfriggin science. If you got a new phone and it didn’t drop the first day, then you’re a witch and you need to stop cheating because it’s not fair. 

I was never a fan of procedural dramas, but I used to not mind them as something mindless to watch. Now I can’t even watch them! Whole time I’m watching Lie To Me, I’m going “OMG how is this Lightman dude not in prison! That’s assault! That’s a felony!” 
Maybe I’m watching too much Lockup. 

It’s Friday!  Maybe I’ll get a bit of work done on the story?

I have cover art!  
NineStar Press is republishing my Witch’s Apprentice series, and Ghost’s Sight, the first book, has cover art. I’m really excited, and I can’t wait for the release date!

Jefferey dragon prints: 7777!

So, what does a person have to do around here to lose their virginity?

I’m not sure what I did right this time, but I managed to publish the first chapter of one of my stories “Of Light and Shadow” – very happy

Wow… these settees looked a hell of a lot smaller in the shop. Now I have to rearrange again. Already did it twice before they got here. Can’t move for settees. Send help!
Plus side. I have two happy dogs, who tried them out first. I swear the greyhound was there almost before the blokes put them down.
 

Just a moment left to being in hot water!

Oh, my… Tormund and Clegane are going to fight! Like, actually, really fight!
Wow… *types faster*

Oil Boiler Replacement in progress …

OMG! OMG! OMG!  Mind totally blown!!
I just watched the movie “Soldier’s Girl” and I am like totally excited!!!

Writing, sleep, or housework?
*sighs*
And by housework, I do mean moving all of *her* shit out of the way. Because it’s getting on my nerves.

It’s been an adventure these last couple of weeks!!  I realize that Fan-Fic doesn’t have to (and usually doesn’t) follow the original script put forth by their chosen author.
However, in my situation with Tolkien, there are so many gaps which create an exceptionally fertile ground to go whatever direction I choose, especially when the main character is Thranduil.
Not to mention that I’m incorporating some ancient ‘original works’ of mine into this entire storyline.  I should call it “The Saga of Thranduil”  LOL  I need my head examined!!
When I hit my wall in the story and started working on another one, I actually created more work for myself.  The new one I started was supposed to be a OneShot PWP that ended up being a 6 Chapter back-story on the 3 chapters I had already written.
The extra work comes in because now I need to rewrite a few sections in the first story to incorporate this new back-story because I absolutely love the direction the back-story took!

lol.. ran across this forgotten gem in one of my files.
“Appreciating something doesn’t imply I’m sexually attracted, or should we ask your Christmas tree?”
 

So far, today’s been successful.   Four chapters done on the sequel to Dale’s Game, and some progress to chapter 22 of the Repair Guy.

I thought I’d be working on the repair guy today.  Instead, my mind's chewing on the sequel to "Dale’s Game” … at least i’ve got two chapters written so far.  Next up, naughty priests
 

I’ve finally caught up at least a little on my reading, and I’ve done my archive work, so now I’m gonna let myself write forthe rest of the evening, because Brienne is jumping up and down inside my head right now, and she’s all: “Thirty chapters! It’s my turn now! Write me!”
Gods, these three are demanding. To them, I swear I am just some weird version of Podrick with a pen… but it’s fun, all the same. Brienne’s pov or not, she’s got a surprise coming. The boys have something in mind, don’t they? Haha…  

Not a weekend, yet.

Sending out a big thanks to everyone who offered suggestions about my writer’s block last week!  The main problem I was having was that the story was going in the wrong direction and I couldn’t figure out how to get it back on track.
The answer thanks to all of you was basically simple!  Just run with it!  Go with the flow in my head just to get it!  Then go back with the edit and rewrite once it was out of my system.
I chose not to delete the ‘wayward’ sections, but rather copy/paste to another document and file in a folder called ‘Snippets’ because I can use them later on in another story.
So once again!!  Thank You!  Thank You!  Thanks You!

Well, first time for everything.  Here's to the first non-Original story I've done in a long time and first I've posted on here...

I am back from my travels. I wasn’t sure we’d get off at all, since my mother had a gallstone attack (requiring an ambulance and hospital admission in the hours before we were due to set off), but happily they eventually gave her the all clear. Do NOT get me started on my aunt, who swanned off to the pub while I went in the ambulance, despite the fact that it was quite serious at that point. And we weren’t even packed. So when we were home, I got zero sleep. But… I got there, and I got to see some good dancers, listened to some great singers, and I got dressed up as a pirate for Whitby Abbey to see a shortish play based on Dracula, and lots of people took pictures of me, which means I probably did it right (or alternatively, very wrong). Internet evidence to the contrary should be kept to yourselves, please. I visited some castles. I stared at the sea, in the rain, in the hours before dawn, because I’m kind of weird like that, and because I hadn’t even had chance to look at the sea all week until that last morning when it was raining. But mostly because I’m a smoker, and it was either stare at the sea or just stand about outside the hotel looking at the wet road. I chose the sea.
I might be back at work on Monday. I really can’t recall if booked the day off. I’ll need to find out before then.
