Not sure what June will bring for flashes. I am thinking not every day and not necessarily every MWF. Just when the mood strikes. There will definitely be some. No dout.
I finished One More Night on Friday and my next plan is to finish Cosmic Love. I won’t be posting any more of it here, I intend to finish it on AO3. Sorry about that, but the ongoing flashes that make one story isn’t working for me right now. I want to return to flashes of the nature where it’s one and done, at least for a little while.
Once Cosmic Love is finished, I’ll return, hopefully, to updating my WIPS on AO3. To be honest I’ve lost the mojo a bit for I Dream of Jim and I might decide to delete it and give it up. I haven’t decided for sure but that’s my thought right now. I know that might be disappointing but I feel it’s just not working for me. We will see.
A certain someone has requested a song fic and my plan is to get that going in June too. Shouldn’t very long.
The family, those of us who matter ha ha, are taking a trip to remember my mother, after the service later in June. I’ll be gone for a few days in the middle of the month.
I still plan on posting flashes for Christmas in July, never fear, for those who eagerly look forward to those.

That all sounds good and reasonable. Of course whatever you posted would make me happy.
Especially more Christmas. 🙂 we do love us some Christmas and it’s fun in July!
Still keeping y’all in my thoughts. Much love to you and yours

Heck – there ain’t nuthin’ you plan that I don’t eagerly look forward to.
And seriously, I think I speak for everyone here that all those times we told you to take special care of yourself and we’d be here patiently waiting for when you’re ready for whatever is exactly what we want you to do. (OK, I admit I’m personally stretching the truth a little since I’m ALWAYS the impatient one. But frankly, that’s your fault for writing so much I love. I blame you 1701%.)
Thanks for telling us about the genie thing – I gotta go download it before you delete it. I was very very much enjoying it and don’t want to lose it.
I’d like to be a fly on the wall to know who of the family “matters” and is going on that trip. And isn’t it awesome that so much has opened up so you’re free to do that? I can just about make a list of the top 3 places you’ll be going as soon as possible.
And add to that, I bet the Hollywood Bowl is another one!

Yeah I can imagine you can guess. Ma loved to go to casinos. We aren’t going to Vegas, yet, not at this point, so it’s one of the tribal ones in our area. We’re going right after our restrictions are lifted, though the casino is open now. I’m not sure if the tribal elders will lift the restrictions with the state or not as they can basically do what they want as a sovereign nation, but we will see.
We probably won’t return to the Hollywood Bowl until next summer. They have reopened and we are looking forward to returning but…baby steps I think. 🙂
I haven’t 100% decided to delete I Dream yet, but right now I am not sure what to do with it, so we will see.

While I can certainly understand losing steam on a project, I’m, not so secretly, hoping you’ll be able to finish I Dream of Jim eventually, even if only an outline. Perhaps you could just mark the story as permanently unfinished and that way it will still be available to read on AO3? Though I’ll certainly be downloading it now just in case.
I’m glad to hear that you’ll be able to have some nice family time coming up and will hopefully get the chance to decompress, hopefully the weather will cooperate 🙂

I’ve been told readers don’t like it left up as “incomplete” and most would rather have it deleted. So we will see. I won’t delete it for now on the off chance inspiration hits. I even watched clips of old episodes but that sure was a different time! LOL

I seem to have subscribed to responses for this on a different email than I usually do… so I almost didn’t see it.
Whatever way you want to do your writing is good for me. I’m always greedy for more, but I fully understand that you can’t post flashes or updates 365 days a year… although that would be welcome. Lol!!
As to I Dream of Jim, maybe instead of deleting, just mark it as permanently incomplete. Idk!
Hope you have a nice family time whatever it entails. As always, take care of yourself and do what feels right. ❤️💚😘🖖

I’ve been told readers don’t like it left up as “incomplete” and most would rather have it deleted. But for now I will leave it up and see what happens. I actually have a partial AU someone else wrote and deleted. She got up to chapter 6 and I loved it and then she just decided not to continue it. Jim was supernatural and someone had just tried to kill him. Now when I look at it though I just feel sad that it was never completed. So it’s kind of a mixed bag.

I think the problem Ive seen is – they just abandon it and 1. Say they’re going to pick it back up by a certain date, and then years later, it’s not been touched again. Or 2. It doesn’t say it’s abandoned until the last chapter – so you’ve wasted all that time reading the rest of it, not knowing it’s abandoned.
I think in this case, If you put a note at the very beginning of chapter 1 that it is incomplete and may never be – that way people have the personal choice to read or not. But they haven’t been deceived in ANY way.
What do you think of that idea? And then, later, if you see that, no, you’re NEVER going to finish it, then delete it.

Okay I have added an author’s note indicating it’s on hiatus and may never be completed.

I can’t wait to see how Cosmic Love finishes. We’ve all been enjoying it so much.
I Dream of Jim is cute. I’d be sad to see it go but if the mojo is lost, its lost. It happens. Maybe it’ll come back another time.
I’m sure it’ll be a lovely trip to remember your mother. ❤
I can't wait for the flashes in July!
Big hugs for a good weekend!

They sure were, but that show sure made it look like a lot of fun, lol. Especially that episode with the “mod party”.
I agree with J, I’d just list it as incomplete, pending further inspiration. Then you’re covered either way 😉
