Personal

A Break

Tomorrow I will have a flash fic up.

So…I have some news.

I’m stuck. I stare at every one of my works in progress and I have nothing. I should be updating My Devotion next but I can’t even make myself open the file. I did open Dating a Vulcan. Managed to force out like two paragraphs and went…no.

I don’t feel like working on anything.

You’d think these two would inspire anyone.

But I presently have nothing.

And so…I’m taking some time off, hoping I return to being inspired to continue my stories. Right now, I am seriously burned out.

Ramblings of the Week, June 26, 2017

Another busy week for me.

Tonight is the Queen + Adam Lambert Concert at the Hollywood Bowl

Tomorrow we are going to see Cars 3.

Then Friday is a birthday party dinner for a relative. Then of course after that comes the 4th of July thing. The 4th decided to be on a Tuesday this year and my company decided only to give us that day off even though M has Monday the 3rd off and so does a couple of our friends. And they all work in the same industry as I do. Nuts!

One of the cities around us does their fireworks on the 3rd. I have no idea why, they just always have. This is where M’s cousin lives so that Monday night, we will be headed over to her place to BBQ and watch the works from her driveway on a hill.

Then more family and fireworks on the actual 4th! Too much! HA HA

I am supposed to be updating What Happened to Spock next and I hope to get to it soon but I’d actually also like to update You’re in My Veins. I plan to, hopefully, conclude Forever I Am With You by the end of July.

And nothing is better on a Monday than a pretty picture of Chris

Pictures from My Trip

So here we go. You must understand that I took hundreds so this is just a small sampling.

Let me start with the boxer shorts I bought. This was on the back end, M was quite amused. Boxer

Next up are just random pictures from the trip. We went on a lake one day for fishing. No, I didn’t fish and nothing was caught. We went to a place in Idaho called Bear World where you got to feed bread to bears who follow your truck. We also went to Old Faithful, Grand Prismatic Springs, and Grand Teton. Enjoy!

Grand Prismatic Hot Springs (these kill people, I am reading a book on deaths and accidents at Yellowstone and Hot Springs deaths (basically you are boiled and burned to death, out number bear attacks by far)

It’s harder to get pictures of Old Faithful erupting than you might think! Plus it drenched us where we were. Soaked!

One of my favorite areas was called West Thumb. Beautiful. As you can see with those pictures. It’s filled with beautiful, colorful hot springs like the one above. Humans cannot withstand them. In that book I mentioned West Thumb happened to an area with frequent accidents and deaths. They used to allow fishing in the area but the lake there itself has lots of these spring and they burned fisherman. Remember, Yellowstone is a super volcano. This pool above that is beautiful and blue? Is called Black Pool. Many years ago it used to be black but the thermal elements of Yellowstone’s volcano made it so hot that all the life that used to live in the Black Pool were killed off and now it looks like this (Ranger told us)

I Have Returned

Yes I am back. I am so exhausted I don’t have time to post anything else yet, but will get up a post later this week. I hope to update something too but not sure what or when.

You can have one picture for now.

Ramblings of the Week, June 05, 2017

So Friday night we went to see Wonder Woman and I loved it. Chris Pine was so swoon worthy. Seriously “OMG adorable”.

Chris-Pine-Wonder-Woman

Have to drive myself into work all week. Normally the SO and I carpool but he has a class all week that’s later than my hours. Not my favorite thing to do but it is what it is.

Tuesday we will probably see Pirates.

I’ll get done this week what I will get done. Saturday has to be taken up with preparations as we leave at 5:00 am on Sunday. We don’t get back until the evening of June 18th. Supposed to be a little rainy. I’ll do my best to get some good pictures of the area.

And that’s it for me for now.

Just Some Stuff

So I got a chapter of For the First Time in My Life I was Happy and a chapter of Where My Demons Hide done this week. That’s likely it for this week as I have some other commitments and I am feeling rather lazy. I anticipate the other two stories that are due to be updated will make it next week just before I leave. I “may” get a second chapter of Unbonded up as well but we shall see. No guarantees.

Tomorrow I am going to be seeing Wonder Woman. I can’t wait to see Chris in it. In recent movie happenings, I’ve seen Guardians of the Galaxy 2, King Arthur, and Snatched. I expect to see Pirates of the Caribbean this next coming Tuesday. After that there will a slight pause while I am way.

My trip comes in about 10 days. *Bites nails*. I hate flying. I’ll be glad when we land on the ground. I will be even gladder when we land in LA a week later! HA. I won’t be bringing my laptop with me on this trip either, so that’s both a relief and a conundrum.

Tomorrow’s flash fic is pretty short! But it will still be up.

Since I am a little overwhelmed with preparing for my trip and getting a couple more updates done, I will likely post old one-shots for the next two Fridays, June 09, and Friday, June 16. Flash Fics will resume from me June 23.

I think that’s about all I have to say right now. Have a great weekend.

A Little Break for the Soul

Next up on what will Ivan update is Anything. And then probably my Cinderella story, When I Fall in Love. But I’ll be honest and say I don’t know when either of these will be updated. I am taking a bit of a break. I’ve been trying to take weekends off more and I still intend to do that that but I also think I need a few more days after that. I’m a little burned out, not necessarily from writing but from posting on there. I don’t want it to become like that other archive for me and a break must be had.

Anyway, so I wanted to make that clear on here. I am not quitting or anything. Just taking a wee sabbatical. I don’t anticipate it being for too long.

In the meantime, enjoy some scenery and have a great weekend.
