Does anyone still use livejournal? Or has it all moved over to tumbr? Either way, I’m staying here because I just can’t do something new. I’m old and lazy and curmudgeon-y.

So, this follow up ramble is actually in relation to a ramble I did just as I was finishing “Pet Project” - and doesn’t that feel like it was done a thousand years ago? But in ( Read more... )

First off the snippet . . .

“Granger!”

She was speaking so fast that she was tripping over her words as she paced around the room, her arms swinging wildly as she gestured to make some point that only she was privy to.

“Granger,” he said again, letting his annoyance bled into his voice. Even that was not enough to disrupt her mad ( Read more... )

Loud banging on his door caused him to scowl. For one moment he thought Granger but quickly squashed the tumultuous feelings and thoughts the girl’s name conjured in him. Not Granger. Not Albus or Minerva either as they would have used the Floo connection.

Grumbling under his breath, he went to the door and pulled it open. Miranda Vector stood ( Read more... )

On Tuesday, I will going away into the wilds of the Grand Canyon Parashant National Monument area with a backpack, water, tent and a notebook.  I will not be returning from the wilderness for two weeks.  There will be no computer acces, no cell service, and no work.  Hell, I won't even have toilet.  The plan is to hike, study rock art with the Park ( Read more... )

I know some of you guys watch this space for updates.  So here is the long awaited updated:  I have finally (FINALLY!) sent chapter 35 off to the betas.  It is, as we speak (type?) in their hands. . . or at least in their computer inboxes.

Everyone keep their fingers crossed because this chapter has seriously kicked my ass.

You guys were getting worried?  No need.  Just a bout of writer's block.  I find that if you hit your head against the wall enough times, eventually the bricks give away.  Of course, you end up with one killer headache.  :-)   So, new snippet.  No Rink.  No Hermione but we have Albus POV and Severus.  -C

The plan is to have this next chapter sent off to the betas by next Friday (16 Jan) because I'm moving on Saturday and could potentially be computerless for a few days.  Oh the horror!  And just so you know, I can't wait to spring this next chapter on you guys.  I'm fully expecting it to knock your socks off . . . in an evil and demented sort of ( Read more... )

I’m hoping to send the new chapter off to the betas before Christmas (yes, in two days). However, as it is the holiday season, I’m not expecting the betas to do anything with it until they are done with their own celebrating or they are locked in a back room hiding out from the relatives.  -Caeria

I'm flying to Vegas on Friday for an extra long weekend (it's the National Rodeo Finals, dontcha know).  The goal is to have this next chapter to the betas before I leave.   -C

As his men spread out against the far wall, Auror Dawlish stepped further into the Great Hall until he came to the end of the Ravenclaw table. Climbing up onto one of ( Read more... )

Rink took one look at his second favorite human and disappeared back to the kitchens. Switching out the lemon biscuits on the plate he’d been carrying for double-chocolate chunk, he returned to Hermione’s four-poster bed. It had been his long experience that food cured many ills ( Read more... )
