Updates On Me...LOL.

Yes, I still have my bloody  headache and it is driving me completely nuts. But I will get through it eventually with the help of my trusty friends Codeine & Panadol. Okay give me a good twenty minutes for them both to kick in so I can write and it actually makes sense.

I have made it to halfway through my effort for NaNoWriMo - Taking Chances: Lie to Me and reached the 25K mark but I will have to admit defeat and say I don't think I will make the whole 50K this year as I still have so much to do on other projects.

I also finally managed to reach 15K on my Warrior Vamps - Sons of Evenmore: The Crimson Grimoire and still have a further 10 K to write before it is complete. So everyone keep everything crossed that I make it in on time.

On other more exciting news - I have 1 WEEK until Em and I go and see Nickelback and I can get myself a new t-shirt. 3 years is a long time between shows. Now if the Americans could just send me over Theory of a Deadman, Chris Daughtry, Black Veil Brides, Sick Puppies, Linkin Park (and actually do a concert in QLD) then I will e a very happy girl - I think our next concert will be Green Day if we manage to get tickets.

I got the mock up of my cover from MLR for Christmastime at Papa Lee's... as soon as I get the final copy I will put it on display for you right here n this blog  - Lucky it's mine

Inspiration For My Warrior Vamps: Sons of Evenmore - The Crimson Grimoire.

Getting There-

Today I am trying to get back into my writing... I have had a couple of days off due to my migraine and now I am once again running behind and quickly running out of time to get everything done. I am trying to at least reach 10 K on my warrior vamps - Sons of Evenmore: The Crimson Grimoire. I have come to a standstill on my NaNoWriMo story - Taking Chances: Lie to Me.

Why is it when you have so much to get done - everything else seems to want to jump into your path and slow you down? I woke up this morning with the greatest urge to change my blog - I am trying hard to wait until at least after November has ended but it is like an itch I just can't seem to scratch.

On that note I will away and get some more done in my writing for today so that I can at least try and catch up so that I make my deadlines.

PS: I heard from a little bird Embry Carlysle is on the tail end of her Warrior Vamps story (I will tell you the name of it after she has been accepted) - I heard it was almost ready to be sent to the beta reader. I am so happy for her and can't wait to see her name attached to a MLR cover let's all keep our crossables crossed for her submission to be accepted.

Ugh!!! & December Update.

My head feels like it is ready to explode. I have had a full on migraine for two days and today even though I don't feel as bad - my head is still pounding out and incessant rhythm that makes me want to hide under the blankets in a very dark room and growl at anyone who comes near me - Why is it when you have a headache, every one feels the need to talk to you - loudly... very loudly. Everything is so damn bright. So I am going to shut down and try and ride this thing out.

I must say now it isn't looking good to me finishing my NaNoWriMo but I am still going to give it a good go and try and get most of it completed - I am mainly working on my Warrior Vamps - Sons of Evenmore: The Crimson Grimiore and trying to get it done (luckily my awesome editor: Kimberly Brandt has given me the extension for it).

The In-Betweens.

In between doing all the writing that I have to get done during November I'm trying to work out what to blog for the month of December - and I've decided that I'm going to be blogging a month of Christmas and Hanukkah stories... I don't mind if they're years old or they're brand new - if you want to send me an excerpt of a story than I'll happily blog it. Hell, I don't even care if its MM or FF or MF or a multitude of other combinations. 

Email me if you have something I can share.

Can You Believe...

Can you believe how fast this year is flying by? It only feels like yesterday I celebrated Christmas and  now it is only 48 days away... I am busy trying to get my 2012 commitments finished because next year I have specific things I want to get done and out in 2013. But I will tell you what they are on Jan 1st.

My poor cat Droogie has had a woeful year as well - his latest incident happened when I was at GRL. A neighbours dog bit him on the head and no one even realised - when I got home it was the first thing I saw as half his face was swollen... Two weeks later he is almost back to normal and following me around in case I leave again.

Em is back at work and working hard - she has been working late nearly every day to help get some drilling done for her dad. Don't ask me because I don't know - If I act like I'm interested then I would probably have to help, (there's a method to my madness).

Exciting news is in about eight days Embry Carlysle is going to submit her first story (Warrior Vamps) for publication to MLRPress so I have all my crossables crossed for her. I know she is a tad nervous so can you all keep your fingers crossed as well.

This year I have met so many interesting people for the first time - some I have know over the net some not. And some people have given me as well as many other people plot bunnies (yes Jared I'm talking about you). next year I hope my friends list grows because there are so many interesting people I have still yet to meet.

Just Subbed...

Just a quick note - I just subbed my Australia Day story: Bush Bashin' to MLRPress. I am damn tired I can tell you as I wrote about 6K all up yesterday on all my different projects. I have to write a blurb for AD:BB and I don't want to as I suck at blurbs... but it has to be done and as my mum says, "Suck it up, Princess, and get the job done."

Now I can concentrate on the NaNoWriMo and the Warrior Vamps - Come on December - LOL. Once November is passed I won't be quite so hectic.
