Long Time, No Writing

Long Time, No Writing...

Oh my goodness! It truly has been a while since I last wrote on this blog, roughly 2 years. In fact writing in general had ceased entirely. Due to notoriously having been known to write extravagantly long, three dear ladies on my Facebook wall decided to bring to my attention about my recent very, very, very longggg status the other day, citing that I ought to start a blog as that status was way too long. Well, I suddenly recalled I had this blog long forgotten. Took a while to log in due to not recalling my password.

I suppose the reason I decrease and later stopped entirely writing on here was due to my then ever increasing responsibilities in my mother's care and everything else in my life before my mother's passing later. Plus, my original laptop up and entirely died on me, and then there were subsequent other used computers, but weren't too successful in keeping alive for long. Thus, began my long absentee period of writing, and I SURE missed it. It's what kept me afloat during my mother's failing health. Mind you, I had only discovered true writing back in 2005, that is creating stories. I did write a little in the past, mainly on and off journaling. But THIS, where my muse had kicked in on constant overdrive creating and creating stories after stories was something ELSE, both EXHILARATING and INTOXICATING. I LOVED it. I felt alive once the flow began to speed up. As though I finally found something I was possibly good at.

And so last night just after midnight, that urge to write kicked in to briefly explain as to my absence here and overall writing. Only, it turned out to be quite the EPIC writing detailing some of what had happen during my dark period of my life when my mother took ill and everything was just spiraling out of control despite my efforts at keeping afloat and keeping some kind of normalcy with my family even if it was still celebrating New Year's Eve a couple of days after my mother's passing - just privately with my small family as my mother wouldn't have had it any other way.

I was FEELING the words being written down, and my muse would butt in with ideas for stories and and....the UNTHINKABLE happened! What I had written to post on this blog, DISAPPEARED and there was no way to retreat it as I was writing directly onto this blog on my cell. How could I have been so stupid and not change over to my laptop when I suddenly began to write more than just a couple of paragraphs. It must have been several pages. I freaked out, wanting to tug at my hair, or thrash that stupid excuse for a smart phone. The tears overwhelming me way pass 2am as this brought back memory of having lost everything on that laptop that died on me. Part of the reason for the beginning of my decline in writing. And to think it happens again on another computer. I still am not truly recovered from those lost and for me to attempt writing last night only to lose it was just about almost to put me over the edge.

But as you can see, I decided to get back on that horse again and start all over once I calmed down and slept. Not quite the same as I wrote last night and mind you truly extensive, but for now, this is the best I could do in the hopes I can once and for all resume back to writing. It's about time I put to use the laptop a dear friend gave me a few months back around my birthday this past January.

Wow, long time no blogging here!

Well, it's been a while, actually a few years to be exactly and I think it is time I revive this blog. I have written a great deal for the DQMW fanfic and I lost a lot of writing from twice computer crashes of which nothing could be saved. Been doing some serious workout and physical therapy to regain my mobility and so far so good that I feel I can run a marathon. Ok, so I'm not 100% but I will get there by the gace of God.
Be back later if the computer is working.

Another Fic Coming Soon....

Yay...I have another fic finished and on it's way for my friend to give it a read through and right away I'm editing another one almost finished, just checking for grammar before I send it off to her as well. Then I'll go to yet another one basically finished. My poor friend will want to kill me for sending her more than one fic in a short period of time. LOL!!!

I Posted My, "More Than Just Friends," fic.

Oh, wow, bad me for not being around here in a very long time. So many things going on of which one is my mother going in an out of the hospital, but at least I have been writing again. I did finish a short fic I finally posted just over a week ago for my birthday call, "More Than Just Friends."
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4030442/1/More_Than_Just_Friends
It's about M&S in the early stages of their relationship realizing they have a special connection and a well meaning town butting in. It's romanitcally sensual and lighthearted. The posting was delayed do to a dear friend being unable to finish editing it and she was the only one who I can trust to be openly honest and respectful of my writing, so of course I waited paitiently till she was able to get back to it.
Well, I posted the fic on my birthday in the hopes it'd lift my spirit. You see, not many people remembered it was my birthday, I'm talking about my friends and family in RL. Now I wish I hadn't as it apparently wasn't well recieved. Although, I must say there are a few that truly did enjoyed it, of which I am gratetful, but I don't know if it is enough to knock myself finishing editing all my other fic. I'm trying to see the positive that at least there are a few that did liked it. I just wonder if perhaps my story was overlooked because perhaps people didn't like me as I thought. Or perhaps it wasn't the type of story most people like to read anymore. Or I guess my writing stye is crappy. Oh, well...we'll see if I post my next fic next month. Not sure of the title, but so far I'm calling it the Birthday Treat or Hppy Birthday Delights. Eh...sounds kind of corny. Perhaps if I get more encouragement, I'll guranteed to post it sooner.

He's Been Found

Some of you may know from the DQ board that my mentally challenged brother has been missing over a month. He's been found a couple of days ago in a hospital far off town. but he is okay.

Opening to "More Than Just Friends"

Here is the opening bit to my DQ fic, "More Than just Friends." Probably still needs editing, but I'm tired and I wanted to post a little of it to let you get an idea of what this story is about before going off to bed. I'm sure you have an idea from the title itself. This forces me to get it posted soon. If I don't don't this, then it will likely take me a long time before I get around to editing it. Here it goes. Let me know what you think.


“Olive, have you seen Sully?” inquired Michaela upon entering the mercantile.

“No, I haven’t seen him since he came in to buy some supplies some days ago for some trip he was going on. I think to do some surveying.”

“Oh. Did he said where and when he was coming back?” Michaela replied uncomfortably.

“No….He didn’t say. All I know I saw him heading south out of town. Knowing him, he’ll be gone for a couple of some days.” Michaela’s heart plummeted. Not really sure why, she tried to put on a smile and act nonchalant about it.

“Well, that’s alright. I just thought he might be able to check on the roof since it appears rain is heading this way. I’ll just have to wait until Matthew comes home tonight.” Disappointedly she sets out to leave when Olive gently grabbed hold of Michaela’s arm forcing her to look at her. And with an understanding knowing smile, she looked directly into Michaela’s eyes.

“Michaela, don’t worry. He’ll be fine and soon enough he’ll be back . Seems to me you really care about him.”

What A Trip!!!

WOW! What a trip. Ever had someone tell you your unedited piece of work sucks. LOL! Hello!!! That is why I mentioned it was still in the editing stage. I mean the idea I let her read it is for her to tell me if it is sounds like a good story not for it's grammar and that was all she was focused on, so I had to tell her than don't read unedited stuff. It was quite hilarious and I was like, is she for real? So I give her another more finished piece and she tells me it's much better, again only focusing on the grammar. I still have no idea what she thinks content wise on either of the story. So I wasted my time showing her my pieces.
And have you ever had someone tell you it's good, it's good but don't tell you why? That kind of review really doesn’t help you. Fine they read it. I am thankful of that and that they took the time to tell me they like it. They could still pin point in very little words what made them like the story. I guess that is why when I give feed back I like to get it and explain why I liked and even don't like a piece. And if I do come a piece I don't particularly like I will still comment and still point out good things. All stories have something good in them. Well, there was one fic I read I really felt was way off stupid. I got the impression they did it on purpose to rouse things up. So I didn't bother commenting.
Anyway, that particular piece of work still has much reworking to be done. I really want to post something soon so I should concentrate on the story that is close to finish, “Just More Than Friends.” I’m actually kind of excited about this one. I just hope my proof reader has time to look over it when she gets back from vacation and let me have it. HAHAHA!!!Mmm...I generally don't like snippets as to me that is such a tease. But I'm going to let you see a little of it just to be able to force myself to put it out, so as like a commitment that I better deliver the rest. HAHAHA!!!

Hectic Day and Writing

After a hectic day of 3 appointments to dash to, then going to my mother to change her dressing on her foot, I finally made it home to do a little more editing. Okay, for a long while I was stuck with part 3 of my Sunday series. So off I go to write some none DQ fic that started out as a true account of events that happened to me today as a way to vent myself, and next thing I knew, I start to exaggerate a little, then embellishing till out right lies. At the end I'm laughing because of my crazy exaggeration, so today didn't seem all that hectic.
Okay, I go back to my part 3 Sunday Series, just editing hoping to be inspire. That's when suddenly at the end, like a light bulb it hit me to tie it all up. I knew what I wanted; it was how I was going to be achieving it that got me stuck. But I got it now, and I should have that part done tomorrow than off to editing for any inconsistencies and grammatical errors. I wish I can catch it all in one editing session, but I have to go over it a few times to catch my mistakes. I just need a proof reader I suppose. (sigh)
