Got another chapter of Overtures up

Got another chapter of Overtures up

And it’s about time, too. My writing has been soooo sluggish lately. I know I need to do it, I know I want to do it, but I can’t get myself to do it. Overtures has been primary in my thoughts, but The White Winds needs updating. Not to mention the places where I RP and the plot synopses I want to do for IR Central. I’ve been doing a lot of betareading lately, some of which has been difficult…

A new addition to the household

A new addition to the household

cross posted from my lj.   Well, Boy #1 is now officially 12, and as a birthday gift, we bought him a larger fish tank. The size has doubled, from 10 gallons to 20, and it has upgraded fluorescent lights, so he can have aquatic plants – something he’s been agitating for. The fish seem to have come through spending a night or so in a big red bowl, and with the clean rocks and the nice gravel, the tank…

Found a new fic archive

Found a new fic archive

Found a new place to host my fics. It’s called FicWad. I had heard of it a few weeks ago, and had pestered the admins to put up Thunderbirds categories in both TV and movies. They finally did the other day, and boy! There was an onslaught of fics! Hobbeth, andrewjameswilliams, chibimax and I all put stuff up within a 48 hour period. There are now 25 fics in the TV section and three or four in the Movie! I…

The Valentine story is up

The Valentine story is up

It’s entitled We’ll Always Have Paris, and I’ve added it to my story listings here. Quiller put hers up this afternoon and I thought I’d follow suit. I hope it’s well received. We’ll see.   Not much more to tell. The family has gone to the Grand Prix at church; the boys barely got their cars done with lots of help from their Dad and sister. Boy #1’s has a chance at a design prize, he made a snake. Boy #2’s? Well,…

Finally got another chapter done!

Finally got another chapter done!

Chapter 20 of The White Winds went up today. Not a long one by any means, but it’s there. And I feel like I should work and finish this story up. Maybe get a chapter or two of Overtures done along the way, but focus on one story to complete it. Like I did with Masquerade. I had a bit of an epiphany on the ending of the Masquerade story arc, but I don’t know if it will work. Hopefully I’ll…

I am frustrated, angry, and hurt….

I am frustrated, angry, and hurt….

I don’t know how to say this. The other day as I accessed Thunderbirds World through my bookmark, I noticed a “Hmm. We can’t find that page” notice from MSN Groups. I emailed MSN Groups tech support twice to find out what was the problem. I finally got a response today. This is part of it: **Please be informed that the said Group, “ThunderbirdsWorld,” is no longer available. I am sorry to hear about this though I cannot determine more…

Haven’t felt this in a while

Haven’t felt this in a while

Right now my feet are doing the “neuropathy dance” for the first time in, well, months. I figure it’s either a new front coming through as it’s supposed to rain tomorrow, or it’s hormones, or it’s both. I doubt it’s my blood glucose because it’s been pretty good over the past couple of days. Of course, the real test will be on Monday, when I see Dr. E. for my hemoglobin A1C test. A little later I’ll have my hubby rub my…

An interesting ten days

An interesting ten days

Well, the Hubby is getting better, if you don’t count his cold. Two of the cats, Tika and Cotton, have been to see the vet (finally!) and now have been dewormed and given shots for their itchy skin (and flea treatment, as well). Boy #2 has been busy. He won his second basketball game 16-10 and was very happy. He also got a special t-shirt for scoring Advanced on the state achievement test last spring (one of five in his school to…

An unusual and quiet day

An unusual and quiet day

The Hubby broke a tooth some time ago, and late last week, another piece broke off, making it difficult for him to talk. The remaining sharp edge bothered his tongue and the inside of his cheek. So yesterday I tracked down a dentist who was taking new patients (ended up being an out-of-insurance-plan doctor as we only have three on our list right now, one of whom does only braces, the second of whom is not taking new patients, and the…

Block is gone, I hope

Block is gone, I hope

Updated The White Winds in the wee hours of the morning this morning. I now have ideas on where and how to go on with it. Same for Overtures. However, there’s only a week left to get my Valentine’s challenge fic done. So that’s my next task. It’s going to be a Kyrano fic, and I have a title. Now to write it. The kids have a four day weekend, the Hubby has a two day weekend (MLK holiday). Basketball starts…
