My favorite season is arriving in the stores!
Coming up this week a new chapter of Our So-Called Life, another chapter of The Fling, another chapter of Orchestral Maneuvers, another chapter of Stranded 3, and of course the Friday Flash.
Will there be a Wednesday Flash? Only the Shadow Knows…
Friday night I did my first workout at the gym. Looking forward to more.
Did update My Devotion. I still love that story so I’ll be continuing it for a while.
I haven’t written a word on Chapter 9 of I Will Follow You. I know what I want to do though, so that’s next because I need to get it scheduled for Wednesday.
After that, for this week, I am doing Didn’t We Almost Have it All and Orchestral Maneuvers. If I have the strength or time after those, The Space in My Bed.
That’s enough, I think.
I know I have other stories to update but I will get to those when I can! Promise.
Speaking of Didn’t We, what do you think of this picture of Chris for it? Yum right
Other than writing, just plugging along with writing, I’ve got work. Don’t know yet about a movie yet. It’s hot and ugly so it’s hard to be motivated to do much of anything else! Even go the movies and there’s not much out I want to see. And there’s lots to watch at home. I am sooo lazy!
So my brother from Kansas visited us recently. Originally both he and his wife were coming, but his wife’s mother was close to passing away, so she stayed behind. My brother came, visited with mom, and will be going back today. His wife’s mother did pass away on Tuesday. She was 91 and had dementia for a number of years.
I fasted on Wednesday after indulging far too many days in a row. During the celebrating for Mom I indulged in a bottle of wine. Back to reality now and watching it.
Today is, of course, the first day of August. There’s a flash on Friday (I don’t actually remember what it is I wrote right now!). And of course Chapter 8 of I Will Follow You was up yesterday. With only two to go, hopefully things will get better for Jim!
Spreadsheet-wise My Devotion is up next but we’ll see when I get to it. Probably not until next week. But I did update Transfer Request, The Sight, and The Mysterious One this week. I might finish I Will Follow You first or even get more done on Stranded 3.
Not much going on this weekend that I know of, which is the way I like it. Supposed to be toasty though.
Hope everyone enjoys
Work’s been absolutely crazy today so I’ve hardly had a breather, but I did manage to finally update Transfer Request. Woooh.
Next up will be The Sight and The Mysterious One. So we’ll see when I can get those up.
The Eighth chapter of I Will Follow You Into the Dark is up on Wednesday and as you know I have begun to post the earlier chapters on AO3. With only chapter 9 and 10 to go after that I anticipate it being done Mid-August.
Going out to dinner for Mom’s 93rd birthday today! I wonder how many of us will make it that far. She has outlived all her siblings and of course her husband.
I spent yesterday getting the next chapter of I Will Follow You Into the Dark ready for posting on Wednesday. Not sure how many more chapters there will be, but I think just a few. I am up to 7 so I am thinking maybe 10. Then it will get posted to AO3.
This week’s flash is a Pinto one (one of you has already read it) related to The Thought of You is Consuming Me.
Next up is the next chapter of Nine Lives. I’ll be working on that. When last we saw the boys, Jim had punched Stonn.
Then probably my Pinto story, Orchestral Maneuvers.
I’m hoping to get started on my September flashes soon too.
This coming weekend is my mother’s 93rd birthday. We are doing a barbecue on Sunday and going out to a restaurant on Monday. Saturday, we are helping M’s cousin move. Ugh. So that’s a full weekend for sure.
Tonight we are going to see the super ridiculous looking, Stuber. Not my choice. But yeah.
And that’s about it!
There’s my princess. And do I mean it. Since Crazy died in November of last year, we were briefly worried we might have to get another cat to be Luna’s companion. Nope. You’ve never seen a cat more happy to be the only cat. She loves it. And has become so spoiled, you wouldn’t believe it.
I’m behind a bit because I oozed laziness over the weekend when I should have been writing the next chapter of I Will Follow You into the Dark. I will have it up tomorrow morning come hell or high water (reference to Chris).
Off to see Spider-Man tonight.
Yesterday it was a million degrees. No really. 108 here where I work. About 10 degrees less where I live. I baked. Summer is here, alas. Hope yours is mild where you are.
After some conversation with a friend, I may keep the blog going after all. Not decided completely yet, but it’s a possibility. So stay tuned.
Last day of April already and soon we will be into the fifth month of the year.
Last night I fully intended to finish, when I got home from work, a flash fic I had been working on earlier in the day. I even sent it home to myself. Instead, I went up and got in bed and fell asleep. When I finally woke up, I took a shower, and then played a world building game for the rest of the time and never did turn to that fic.
I’ll work on it today at lunch but doubt it will get done. It’s going in the May 17th slot that I originally had another fic in. That flash is either getting moved to June or becoming its own fic because it’s definitely becoming a beast! HA. JJ’s idea was just too inspiring.
I’m seeing Captain Marvel tonight. I didn’t want to see it all that much but everyone else in our movie group did.
Tomorrow is Walk at Lunch Day at work and if you participate you get a free shirt or bag or something, so I think I am going to do that. I walk every day now anyway.
I thought about doing another update on My Devotion this week, but I don’t think I will after all.
That’s it for now!
A few weeks ago I posted a picture of some barren trees in my neighborhood.
Here they are a few weeks later
Same bunch of trees. Isn’t nature awesome?
This week I am finagling a few things flash ficywise and also working on My Devotion and Didn’t We Almost Have it All.
I didn’t get any writing done this weekend. Just too busy with other things.
This coming Saturday I am having to go to yet another social event. You know the old time tupperware parties? or Princess House? Or any of those? Well, nowadays, they sell wine at one of those. It’s a Wine Party. You try different wines and if you want to buy them you do. It’s a new thing, I guess. Anyway I am going to that on Saturday afternoon into evening. Sigh.
That’s about all I have going right now.! Nice week weatherwise.
Oh and the birthday party was a success!
So, as you know I did two updates for All I Ever Wanted yesterday. That was in anticipation of spending much of the rest of the week on flash fics through May.
I have May 3, 10, 24th, and 31st done now. I am about to tackle the one for May 17th, which is based on a suggestion JJ sent to me. Once again, thanks everyone for the suggestions they are extremely helpful. The 17th will be longer than typical and will be multiple parts. That’s why I got the flash done for the 24th and 31st as those were short! (And update: Yippee! All May flashes are now done. And Part 2 of the long flash will debut in June. Go me!)
This weekend, Saturday, my great niece Quinn turns 3 and so we are off to BFE for her birthday celebration. Her parents live like 2 hours away from us in good traffic at a place called Redlands. Her birthday is at some kiddie play gym thing where you have to wear socks inside and no shoes. We only have to be there a couple of hours but since it takes 2 to get there and 2 to get back, it’s a long ass day.
Tonight we are seeing Shazam. Looks cute so that should be fun. And that’s pretty much it for news here.
Spirk (with a small dose of Pinto)
