I am currently working on the second to the last flash for October. This is the Wednesday flashes as I had already finished the Friday ones. Soon, October will be scheduled completely and in the bag.
For November, all my Friday flashes are done and scheduled. I need to finish my OMS story for posting for the challenge in November on A03 and then I will move on to my OMS Wednesday flashes for November. There are four Wednesdays in November.
Whew. Once that is all done, which I hope is this week, I will have everything written for October and November and so can than move on to updating another story on AO3. December stuff can wait just a bit.
I did manage to update The Space in My Bed. When I do update it will probably be Stranded 3, but we shall see.
In other news, the Insurance did pay us for the garage door, so now we have to order the door and wait until that comes in before we can get it installed. We’ve been told it can take a month! It’s never easy! But the insurance paying was good news.

Aw yeah! This is all good news! So glad the insurance is paying for the door. What a relief!
As for the flashes? Dude lookit you go! That’s so awesome your so far ahead and I cannot wait to read them. Like truly. They’re the highlight of my week.
Really loved the last update and looking forward to more on Stranded. You write the best stuff. Hands down. Woo woo!

Well, I write all this stuff so far in advance because I think waiting until the last minute scrambles my brain even more! LOL. I will say some of the flashes will be shorter than others, but at least they will be done, and I hope, will make the last three months of the year memorable!

You’ve never done this before, have you? First, two flashes a week, right? Never before?
And second, never so far ahead and getting so much further ahead? I mean, you may ALWAYS do that, and just didn’t tell us. But wow. It makes my hair blow in the wind to read your rambles here. Like, not just writing flashes and updates, but taking time to write us here, too. That just seriously SERIOUSLY blows me away, Iv. Seriously. I am taking off my hat and bowing to you in my spirit. I have this little hat with a feather. It’s like 1 of 3 muskateerettes – ish.
And no pressure, at all…I mean no added pressure, that somewhere on something you said an OM might show up soon. No pressure though. I mean, just in case you…forgot. haha
I’ve been very good. You can look over santa’s shoulder and check the list and check it twice. I’m on the nice list. I mean, I don’t work and I don’t go out the door except for trash and laundry. I mean, how much trouble can I cause that way? (yeah, all right, it IS still me, and nobody would be surprised I still can…but not nearly as much as the old days. Like 8 months ago! haha)

Nope I have definitely never done two flashes a week for multiple months, this many themed flashes, certainly not the 25 days of December flashes, and never ever this far in advance. That is something I definitely started in 2019 and it offers me some semblance of sanity, really. Because it means I don’t have to go, oh crap, what do I write for Friday. You may remember earlier this year I was begging people for ideas. I don’t seem to be having that trouble too much anymore.
Now that being said, I don’t think I will be able to keep up that crazy, frenetic pace in 2020, so will likely go back to weekly Friday flashes in January. Or February if I take January off from flashes, which is a possibility. We shall see.
Ah, yes, I did say that. Okay. once done with the OMS and flashes through November, I will get that chapter of OM done before Stranded 3.

NO NO NO NO. Not BEFORE Stranded 3. I love that one too. And definitely MORE people love S3 than OM. I just meant, maybe after S3 and, I think you said, Nine Lives and one other – or was that Space? Maybe OM 3rd or 4th in line. I’m greedy, sure. But not THAT selfish over all your other readers.
And can I just throw in….I think you write more because you’re happier. Or you seem happier. Except about the dam thieves/garage door caper. And that would piss anyone off.
But I think as a whole, you seem happier this year. I could be wrong. But you know me and my “feelings.” I just “feel” like I get vibes from you that you’re a bit happier, and therefore the creativity is flashing out your fingertips like those things in the movie where someone touches those …can’t think of the name right now…but it has like electricity running all over it and you touch it and your hair stands straight up on end and lightning shoots out of your fingertips.
Or, if that doesn’t work, since you obviously have an evil streak (((ducking))), like The Emperor on the movie whose name must not be spoken.

Now see the emperor is definitely a reference I can understand! ha ha. Now, to be fair, for that franchise we shall not name, those first three (the real first three, not the ones added as the prequels) were the only ones I could tolerate and were fun. I still love Luke. He was always my favorite over Han. By I digress.
Before/after, my whims, your whims. I did mention Nine Lives but in the context of finishing it off as well as The Ties That Bind and Didn’t We at some point this year. Anyway, somewhere along there, both Stranded 3 and OM will get updated. For sure. I keep my update promises! For the most part. Er…lately! 😀
I think I have made peace with my dying fandom and if someone has to keep it going with everyone else abandoning it for Good Omens and Bond and whatever the hell else, it might as well be me. I love Spock and Kirk. Loved them all my damn life. Love AOS Spock and Kirk like they are what I need to breathe. And I will never give them up. You can pry Star Trek out of my skeletal hands!
So yes, I will keep writing like a maniac, in other words.
And the garage thing sucks and my credit card debt sucks, but this too shall pass! I believe it. ❤

I feel EXACTLY the same about that other movie – parts 4-5-6 (as they became known). Tolerated what became 1-2-3, barely tolerating what is now 7-8 and the coming 9, which I will watch once. I’ve watched 4-5-6 a zillion times each, have owned multiple copies of each. I’ve watched 1-2-3 maybe twice each, and the newest two exactly…..once. That tells you everything.

I had a comment typed out and never hit post comment! Ughh! Trying to rewrite what I said.
Your update /writing schedule always amazes me and it definitely makes me happy. It makes my day. Looking forward to seeing it all! Thank you, thank you! ❤
In response to j above, I enjoyed the first three SW movies. Of course the first to be released to theaters, way more than the others.
Saw the first released SW with friends, that loved Star Trek and Sci-Fi, in Manhattan on opening day at the first screening. We were amazed at it that day and stayed in our seats to watch it again. The following movies with their childish comical characters lost it for me… Of course, my first allegiance and love was for Star Trek. I discovered Trek after it initially aired, but before it came back in syndication. My first exposure to Trek was the James Blish novelizations! It was love at first “sight”!! And the relationship between Spock and Kirk was always my favorite part of it ! Once again thank you, thank you for sharing your stories! 😉 ❤

Firstly, yes the original 3 star wars movies are best. The prequels follow and then the dreaded new ones. I have found some entertaining parts of the new ones but overall I’m not a fan of the new ones. I did quite enjoy Rogue One. Not so much Solo
Secondly, I haven’t jumped ship for Good Omens LOL I do like the show, but honestly I’ve only read one fic in the fandom and only b/c a friend wrote it and I’ve loved her previous fics from other fandoms. I have read a few Bond fics in the past lol
I’m trying to keep up in writing and updating but RL and yeah, I did start on the next chapter of Another Place and Time so I do feel good about that and I’ve thought of an idea for Christmas and possibly halloween 🙂
Thirdly, YAY for insurance paying for your door! yay! Hopefully it won’t take a month. Fingers crossed everything works in your favor for it to come sooner 🙂
In awe as usual about your updating abilities! Can’t wait to read them all!
Hope you, M, and Luna have a wonderful week!

See I am the opposite on Rogue One and Solo. I thought Solo was okay but I thought Rogue One was badly acted and incredibly dreary. I do agree the last three SW movies (or however many there are…eh)
That’s almost all I see on Tumblr these days. GO. And the show is okay but not worthy of fan fic…TO ME. My personal opinion, only of course.
I hope you do feel inspired to get back to writing. It keeps me partially sane.
Right now we have the money and the approval from the HOA but none of the garage door companies will call us back to order the damn door. So frustrating!
