Happy New Year!!

It's the start of the new. I will admitt, I am drinking this new year. I don't seem to have much new inspiratation for writing, but I have have been doning plently of reading at least. Hoping my writing muse comes back to me soon.....

Hey! I know, It's been a year. I have honestly simply had a horrible case of writer's block that has left me even uninterested in blogging. I have been doing a lot of reading, mostly fanfic. I had of course been keeping up with my day-to-day activities. My daughter is in 5th grade and my son 2ed; I am still homeschooling. Both are in scouts and my daughter is due to start chorus this month. I have also been doing a lot of crochetting. I make blankets, scarves, beanie hats, and stuffed animal/dolls/characters. I sell my things on both ebay and etsy. Etsy store is called CrochetGiftsand Stuff, it is also on my Home Site. Ebay is under stans-charl  check it out. It's what's been keeping me busy during my writer's block.
Hoping my writing comes back soon.

I'm back!  I know I've been gone for several months, but here I am again. I'm hoping to post like I was in the beginning. I'm not really working on my own stories still; I'm still writing the Fanfic. I'm just so in love with the Queer As Folk boys.
The Girl Scout year has ended. It coincides with the public school year. My daughter bridged this year from Brownies to Juniors. She was so excited. Our troop had a busy two years as Brownies. Our entire troop bridged this year with us, which was cool. My son is joining Cub Scouts this fall. He is excited. He's had to go to all the G/S stuff with his sister for the past three years and is excited to have his own thing to do.
Their home-school year has circled around. My daughter is now in 4th and my son in 1st.
We have company this summer. My mother and my niece are staying with us. My niece is happy to be with us, with me. She is basically a mini-me. So our house is full.
I'm hoping to start working on publishing my Blair book. I have to get the 'school' year planned out for my kids first. We work under a very loose plan base, but I do try to plan out what we're doing each month, even if I don't always plan it more indepth every month. Anyway, as soon as I get all of that done, should be in a week, I'm going to start editing on Blair's book. My biggest trouble with hers is that I'm not sure about the title. As of right now it's : In It For Blood. It's a paranormal/horror/mystery type.
So...... that's all I can think to say for now. Hopefully will be posting again this week.

Sorry I've been MIA. Life has been crazy here.
I hate to admit that I have done nothing on any of my normal stories. I have become engrossed in FanFic the past two weeks, both reading and writing it. So I apologize if I stay away again. You can check out my Fanfic at

I'll try to be back on soon!

No Valerie, no Seth. Even my new story has stopped the past two days. Instead, I've gone back to a story I started almost a year ago. I wrote about Harmony more than a year ago, a witch. I started working with one of her sisters, but Serenity stopped about 50 pages in. Suddenly she started talking again. So, we're working together. I'm happy to get back to my witch sisters. I need to be working more with Spencer, but I enjoy the witch sisters. Each of them is getting her own story; going to meet their wonderful love and deal with a struggle.
I'm hoping to work with my most recent story again though. I have really enjoyed working with my female wolf and the two men she's room-mating with. It is a different kind of story for me, but I have been enjoying it.s
Girl Scouts is in full swing and my daughter is happy about it. Homeschooling my children means making sure they are active with other children. We are lucky to have several other children in our neighborhood so they have kids to play with. It has taken some of my time, but I have still managed to get work done.
Okay, I'm going back to Serenity.

Well, I have gotten little done as far as useful writing.
I have been busy with schooling and G/S. Things seem so busy during the school year even though my kids stay home.
I ended up getting away from Spencer again for some reason. Valerie's second story still has gone nowhere and I stopped trying with it for now. I have started with a new idea, but it's taking a little playing with before I can say it will be more than a really good idea. Mainly though, I've been playing with Seth still. We've gotten away from so many sad moments. Now we just pick up random moments in his life with Kat and Valerie and write them out. It's rather fun, learning things about him that will never make it into any story. I do like Seth.
I have done a little reading this past week. I haven't picked up books over the summer, but I finally did this week. I like Laurell K Hamilton's Anita Blake series. Okay, most of it. I do have some issues with a chunk of the series, but I like that last couple. They are more like the first half of the series, more murder mystery. Her latest book came out in June or July and I finally sat down and read it. I enjoyed it.
So that is what's been going on the past couple weeks that I haven't been online. Hopefully my new idea will grab me good soon and the characters start telling me their interesting story. And it will be interesting and different.

So... Valerie kind of stalled out on me. She still wants a little attention, but not enough to keep writing with her. I think she's a little jealous because her friend Seth has been getting some attention. I've written a few tidbits from his point of view, from random moments in his life. I've even got a 7 page piece, though some of it is from Val's view. I like Seth, but I have to be careful with him. He's just emotionally fragile (I guess that would be a decent term) that getting into his head pulls me a little too deep and I feel his sadness, because most of his tidbits are from points when he's upset over something.
I'm back with Spencer for now. I'm having to revise the first 35 pages I had of him. I had originally been writing form third person with him, but like I said in a previous post, I was told his should be first person just like Rina's. So that's what I've been working on today. I'm not really changing what I have, but certain things have to be said differently, and he has his own thoughts he wants to add.
Things have been a little rough, which is why I haven't posted in more than two weeks. School started back, which means my schooling with my kids has picked back up too. My daughter is in Girl Scouts and that has resumed as well, and I work with the girls. I have been trying to write, but spent a lot of time trying to make Val work with me, much to my disappointment.
Well, I'm going to see if I can get a few more pages with Spencer done before heading to bed. Going to be an early bed tonight.
