Ramblings, Week of May 21, 2018

Currently I am working on off Archive stuff. The 100 Words and The Sight.

Next up on Archive stories is Where My Demons Hide. I’m delaying working on it for a number of reasons, but the most relevant here is that I want to take Jim to a very dark place next and I’m not really sure how well that will go over with readers. I really can’t get the idea of what I want to do out of my head, so I am torn. I suppose I could write it and then “delete it” and consider it as a “deleted scene” like they do in movies (for example the scene where Amanda and Sarek welcome baby Spock, or Amanda tells Sarek she’s not happy with his response to Spock’s bullying, or the part where Sam leaves and Jim tells Frank he doesn’t want Sam to leave and Frank says what Jim wants is nothing because he is nothing).

Anyway, that’s where I am at, so…right now it’s stalled.

I updated a lot lately on there anyway so it’s cool. It’s time to let others shine on there with their updates.

Not sure when I will have chapter 3 of The Sight up but the next part of 100 Words is up tomorrow, Tuesday.

I took Friday off of work, so I have a 4 day weekend for Memorial Day Weekend. I am greatly looking forward to it.

This week we will finally see The Avengers. We never saw the original Deadpool so that’s not on our agenda and none of us is eager to see Solo, so that may push us next into whatever comes out in June after this. We shall see.

End of Weekish Ramblings, 05/10/2018

You get a very very very pretty Chris Picture today!

Last rambling update for the week, I promise!

Got The Experiment update done and up. I am a little insanely in love with this Jim. Chapter update was almost 3,000 words. Go me!

I thought I might have to wait to post an update to My Devotion but I am moving right along with writing it so I anticipate getting it up tomorrow. Just hit the 60,000 word mark which is super exciting for someone who is not a long writer like me! This one might surpass Going Boldly as my longest.

Tomorrow is the next part of my 100 Words story here on the blog.

Sunday is a Mother’s Day BBQ here for us. Saturday I expect to chill but I may do some work on the holiday story just to keep plugging along with it. Hard to believe it’s approaching the middle of May already. It will be summer before you know it. We’re dropping down into the 70s for the next week or so which is extremely welcome May weather for us.

Thank you for those of you who continue to support my stories by reading them. I wouldn’t be doing it anymore, probably, if it wasn’t for you, and I thank you most sincerely.

Ramblings, May 06, 2018

There are only two more posts for the 100 Words story and I’m considering just posting them here today and being done with it so it can get posted to the archive. Any opinions?

I have started my one and only holiday story for 2018 and have a good start on it. I think I am going to forgo chaptering it and it will be a one-shot. It will be ready in plenty of time for posting in December. I needed to take some pressure off myself. Wasn’t sure that I was going to write any this year but I decided if I did one and wrote it well before December I could be okay with it.

As I said last week next up is Unbonded, Nine Lives and The Experiment.

Last week’s doctor’s appointment went well. Weatherwise we are in the 80s which s fairly typical for May. Hope everyone has a good week.

Mid-Week Rambles May 02, 2018

So I started a new story, Nine Lives, which will no doubt fill those who think I shouldn’t write anything new with the proper outrage. But I wanted to have something a little fun to write for myself, though there will be elements of angst. It’s still me. Honestly it’s another idea that sort of became more than I intended when I first thought about it while lying awake at night.

I still intend to update All I Ever Wanted this week. Not sure if I will get to Unbonded until next week. I also hope to finish my ongoing 100 words story PDQ.

On the personal front I bought a new coffeemaker. There was nothing wrong with my Keuring, honestly, but this one is a Hamilton Beach coffeemaker that can brew a carafe of coffee or a k-cup, both. I loved that idea. I’ve been eyeing it for a bit and finally broke down and got it from QVC because I could spread the payments out between 3 months. I just received it last night. Now I can make pots of coffees for us or for guests or whatever or just a single couple if it’s only me. Plus I’ll probably use less k-cups, which are bad for the environment.

Went and saw A Quiet Place last night. Pretty damn disturbing to be honest. I don’t know which of you has heard about this movie but it is intense and not good for the faint of heart. I heard there is going to be a sequel and I think I may have to skip that.

The last few days have been cool here and yesterday, on May 01, we had some rain. It was shocking. Funny thing is it’s supposed to be 85 Friday. Thus is the enigma of California.

Speaking of Friday I have a follow-up Doctor’s appointment I do not want to go to. Sigh. And he wants me to have some tests. Ordinary tests for those my age but still. I hate tests and doctors. I haven’t made any of those appointments yet so I will have to lie a bit Friday and say I did and then I will make them later.

Don’t even ask me when I last went to the dentist. You don’t want to know! LOL.

Ramblings, April 30,2018

So Saturday went off to the two-year-old’s birthday party at Shakey’s. Traffic was horrendous because of an accident so even though we left more than two hours early we were about five minutes late! We did get to meet my three month old grand niece, too. What a sweetheart. Another group of family members were an hour late because of the traffic and we only had the space reserved for an hour and a half. Oops.

Despite the ridiculous speed of the weekend, I did manage to get You’re in My Veins updated. Right after that, of course, AO3 had a meltdown and was down for a while. Sigh. Oh well.

On the agenda this week is Young and Beautiful, All I Ever Wanted, and Unbonded. That’s definitely enough.

I will have new updates to 100 words coming up on the weekend. I am working toward the conclusion of that soon and then after that I don’t know what I will have for the blog. We shall see.

More Ramblings, April 25, 2018

Went and saw Rampage last night with a group of friends. This is the one with Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson. I have to say I found it quite entertaining. But I really like him. He’s really nice to look at and very funny and charming. He had some great lines in this too. Like, “of course the wolf flies”. LOL.

This weekend is my great niece’s second birthday party which will be held at a Shakey’s Pizza. It’s two hours away, which is too far, really, but you do what you gotta do.

On the very upside I think during weigh in tomorrow at WW I will have lost 18 pounds. Go me.

As I indicated earlier, I updated Didn’t We Almost Have it All on Monday. Check it out if you didn’t get a chance because it’s pretty intense. On Tuesday, I updated You are the Light That’s Leading Me. My goal now for the rest of this week is to maybe get this one finally done. It would be nice to have one of the ones I started in 2016 concluded.

I’ll be honest. Once I finish my WIPs I am considering not writing anymore. I haven’t made up my mind 100% but that’s where I am leaning. No need to worry, I have plenty still going for now but recent events have been discouraging and I just don’t know that I have it in me to keep at this for any length of time. We will see how it goes.

Sort of Weekly Ramblings, April 23, 2018

So last week I was gone most of the week but I still managed to update Where My Demons Hide and Anything. Not bad.

This week my concentration is on two, Didn’t We Almost Have it All and You are the Light That’s Leading Me. I think I am almost at the end of You are the Light. We shall see but that’s how I am feeling.

I don’t know if I will update anything else, I’d like to play it by ear. There may be more or a one shot or just about anything, really. Maybe nothing but those above I mentioned.

As for the 100 words continuation, I have the next four parts written and scheduled and all I can say is that things will begin to look up for our Captain soon! Once it’s all finished, I will likely post it on the archive as a one-shot but you all got to see it here first.

I just managed to pass another birthday. Time marches on as they say.

I have no other trips planned until the end of June. However, M is going to visit family for a week and a half in earlier June, so that’s a week and a half by myself.

I did take the Friday before Memorial Day off just to have a four day weekend.

Anyway, that’s neither here or there I guess.

Thanks for checking me out.

A Bit of Rambling, April 19, 2018

Okay so I am back from several days in Las Vegas celebrating April birthdays in our group. There are a lot. It was way too much socializing for me, to be honest. But there were some highlights as well.

As is fairly normal in Vegas I ate too much. I had great plans to do well on my diet but they didn’t end up working out, alas.

Next up in updating is Anything but I haven’t started it so I don’t know that it will go up today. Unless I write really fast. Which sometimes I do. But I am also catching up at work.

I have more socializing to do this weekend as well as blood tests for the doctor (oh what fun).

I’m behind on pretty much everything so bear with me while I catch up. I do have the next 100 words scheduled for tomorrow.
