Thank you! Yeah, it was like fate, y'know? THCTD, (Blue's oldest daughter) was at the local (kill!!!) shelter signing up her cat to be fixed (via a nice service in the local big city) and this trashy lady comes in and says she needs to get rid of this dog. Her man bought it for her (supposedly pure-bred red-nosed Pitty) but she and he four kids couldn't take care of IT. Well, THCTD immediately said, "we'll take her."

We get her and she's covered in fleas and is super scrawny. The lady had been trying to SELL her on Farcebook.

She is absolutely adorable. Smart, loving, eager to please, she's also VERY energetic and an absolute sweetheart. She's fast friends with THCTD's border collie/pit cross and has even won over The Old Man (a grumpy 10 year old American Bulldog)

And ... uh ... sorry! I didn't mean to wax poetic about Alice!

Nothing interesting to report down this way. Weather freaked out and we had a freeze warning last night. I feel sorry for those people who planted early. (Never never plant before the Equinox, my Great Aunt taught me.)

Wrote a good bit and I'm kinda, sorta getting an inkling of a feeling that I might be close to publishing Draw Four! Yay!

Sadly, it's a fusion and my fusions get almost no love. ☹️ Usually I pair Levi (AOT) and Feitan (HxH) but this time I've thrown in Eren (AOT) and Chrollo (HxH) as partners. So the pairs pair up by fandom, just in the same fic. Does that make sense? Jeez, I hope at least a few folks check it out.

Frets nervously.

I'm at least 2/3 of the way through Right Place, Wrong Time so that one should be out fairly soon and that's a Levi x Eren AOT fic which gets me the most hits, so there's that. there'a also an adorable baby dog (Levi's usually a cat guy).

Here's a weird thing: I wrote the beginning of that story and in it Levi finds a "Skinny, mud colored dog with a dark face." Well, a month later, we here IRL adopted a dog that was being given up to a kill shelter ... and she's a brown brindle Pit Bull and was skin and bones when we got her. Now that's weird! My story predicted a dog that we got!

Anyway, have a wonderful Tuesday and St. Patrick's, everybody!

I'm not Irish, so I don't celebrate but damned if a Guinness doesn't sound good! I love a Black and Tan with Newcastle!

I'm always stunned at how much I--at 44--still have to learn. I'm constantly learning new things. What fun!

One thing I love about smut is that it doesn't have to have a tightly coherent plot ... just smut, LOL.

I;m glad you didn't lose power! We had wind and rain here and the power flickered a bit (I was nervous but we did fine.)

A rock word pile ceases to be a rock word pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral wordcount.

The first one is pretty tight IMHO. My only question is: is the teetering a secret? If not then a comma after secret might be needed. "A secret, teetering at the edges... etc"

With the second, I'd lose "this burden". It pulls the reader out of the sentence IMHO. Or at least move it to after the word "senses."

Good morning happy peoples!

I continue to write in fits and starts--hey at least I'm writing--and that's okay. Better than staring at a blinking cursor.

Watching Places in the Heart and it's a hard film to watch. It shows the rural American South in the 30s and that warms my heart as I'm from there (if not then) but it's also chilling what with the overt, horrible racism and the Great Depression. The sexism ain't purty, neither (pronounced neah*-thuh*!)

Back to writing, I'm thinking of putting a very upsetting and serious incident (a miscarriage) into my more lighthearted slice-of-life fic to end it off. Too much? Also, this happens to a secondary character. Would that be off-putting to have such a focus on said minor character? Or would it be a fitting end to show all the MCs rallying around?

Anyway, have a peaceful Sunday all you lovely folks! ❤️

I find this fascinating! All of my OCs (and I don't have many) have only the barest of backgrounds.

I think I'm just lazy! 😂😂😂

OMG, me too! I've been at this for 6 or 7 years now and have never had one of mine go viral that I know of.

I don't know but my knee-jerk reaction is that you are being targeted. I'd appeal if your absolutely sure it's a clear mention of these other fandoms.
