Holy Moly I have my chapter up on time.

10/31/2014

Once again I was able to cut and paste right into my website so I avoided the hour of formatting that I normally would have to do, and as you can see this chapter is really really short so pretty much everything went quicker. I think Weebly heard my distant screaming and moaning and took pity on me.

This chapter is short and sweet. It's too bad this wasn't a scary chapter in honour of Halloween but it's not. It's actually the love chapter. Happy Halloween to everyone. I always say I'm going to dress up but then when it comes right down to it, I can never be bothered to get a costume. *sigh.

Well NaNoWriMo starts tomorrow. I'd give my right arm to be able to lock myself up and write for 30 days, I bet I could get almost all of book 2 finished in that time if I really pushed. But of course, babies need to be tended and husbands need to be fed and bills need to be paid so no cloistered writing for me this year. Maybe next year. (but I'm guessing still no.) Everyone who is partaking in NaNoWriMo, good luck to you all and I hope the creative juices are flowing.

It's up finally, only a few days late. I had to do a lot of revision to this chapter since it is my least favorite and I'm never really happy with it. As you all know I have a hard time with the emotional cry fests and this is no exception. This chapter does however explain a lot about where Davn came from and why he is what he is.

On a side note, I've been watching a lot of Disney/Pixar movies lately and do you know what they all have? Can you guess? I'll give you a hint.

It's frowned upon, and I have two of them.

Yes that's right, they all have prologues. Frozen has two, UP has one, Tarzan has one, Hotel Transylvania, Tangled, etc. etc. the list goes on. The much maligned prologue is everywhere in Disney Land. I don't feel so bad anymore. ha ha ha to everyone who thinks prologues shouldn't exist. Go tell it to Disney.

I almost feel back on schedule. Almost. Just a tiny bit. I should have chapter 42 up on time on Friday. I was spurred to action this morning to get going on this when I saw my stats numbers from Saturday. A whopping 275 people visited my site woohoo! That's the most so far in a single day. It may not seem like much to some but to me it means I am continuing to grow and gain new readers, so I am very pleased.

What I am not so pleased about is my stagnant progress in getting published. It seems to be one delay after another and I would love it if I had an assistant that could just do it all for me. Any volunteers? No? Rats.

Well I shall see you all, and a few new faces, on Friday. In the meantime I am going to go watch an episode or two of Friends. Gads, that show is hilarious. I'd forgotten how funny it was, and how many quotes I use from it still to this day. It's a classic.

"It's not all that common, it doesn't happen to every guy, and it is a big deal!"

I KNEW IT!"

I'm officially extremely annoyed

With the new changes Weebly has made to their site, posting every Friday has become such a chore that once again I am a week late. Why, Why WHY? Aaaargh. When frustrated talk like a pirate. I will do it today, I promise. It's on my growing list of stuff that needs to get done, but I will do it, no matter what.

On top of an additional hour of formatting, the auto save didn't work a few days ago when I was doing a blog post. I had a whole blurb written, a revue of some movies I'd seen, a little about Gone Girl and some funny quotes from this week's episode of Downton Abbey. It was quite funny, and it didn't save. SO I lost it all when the breaker blew while the guys were working on the new furnace. All gone, just like that. Yet another hour of my life wasted. That seems to be happening a lot these days. I tried so hard to recreate the magic, but I couldn't. Sigh.

It's things like that that really bring me down. Pouring time and energy into something that gets ruined due to chance or stupidity, really hurts my morale. So, I had to take a bit of a break. A few days to let the anger dissipate. But as I said I will get back to it today and post the next chapter, I bet people are dying to know what happens to Astral at the bottom of the cliff....

I will also try and get this week's chapter up as well, if not on time Friday then soon after.

What a Week

You know you're getting old when it takes 3 days to recover from one all nighter. We had a bon fire and watched the sun come up and then, I don't really remember much after that. Something about real life and being exhausted all the time. It's a good thing birthdays only come once a year.

So, I didn't get my chapter up on Friday, my bad. I did try and get it up on Tuesday but for some reason Weebly has started doing what Facebook does and messed around with their code for no good reason. My website worked just fine, but they just had to go and "fix" a bunch of stuff and now I can't paste new content into my website. Now, I have to cut and paste it from Notepad to get rid of the embedded formatting code and then reformat it once it's on my site. Can you say total pain in my ass? It adds a good hour or two to my weekly posting schedule and I'm not impressed. Then, just because I wasn't annoyed enough already I was just sentences away from being done this week's chapter when 'the Kid' pushed my on/off button on my computer and I lost it all. Yep, had to start all over. Felt like punching the wall. So I have posted last week's chapter today, there will not be a new posting tomorrow. I am just going to be a week behind schedule. I am formatted out for a few days. Tough titty, you'll just have to wait.

P.S Weebly! Stop fucking with my shit!
