About to help the Queen

Before I get into the story from today

I wanted to mention that I finalized the paperback files for The Culling Cycle just now. Needed just a few minor adjustments with the interior pages.

Update on Cheyenne

Here is a live shot on how little miss is doing.

[image error]Hard, hard life.

Needless to say, she is tucked under a blanket next to me, and on top of another. That is Kona’s blanket she is on. She is good. I took her shirt off so that’s why she’s tucked in. Her wound is good. Saturday will be ten da...

A little annoyed

Okeydokes so I figured out why the desktop is working so slow. For whatever reason it’s doing it, the desktop has been connecting at the 2.4 band, and it’s only connecting me at 57 mbps or so. Needless to say, that is very slow and sluggish. Not sure why suddenly it’s been doing that. There was a Win 10 update recently that the computer went through so there is a very likely chance that messed everything up.

Either way, I got fed up and just attached my large desktop monitor to the laptop for...

Connections are being placed

Good lordies. I just texted my editor while I’m waiting for this dang desktop to cooperate. It’s taken me an hour almost to get it going.

My web pages are loading like I’m working on good ol’-fashioned freakin land line modem internet. And then trying to get my book to open in Word? It’s downloading from OneDrive. I’ve never once had that happen where I went to open something from my OneDrive and it had to download and take forever. Usually I click and it’s opened. But this desktop today. I s...

So much to track at this point

Little too busy today, but managed to get some writing in, thankfully. As I shared on Instagram last night, this was the main reason why.

Now that she is feeling better, it’s even more work because I’m trying to keep her from jumping up and down on things. And then let’s not start on her love of hopping up on people when she gets excited. I keep having this thought of her jumping and pulling a stitch from getting caught on something. Obviously that’s just a worry because we’ve only had two i...

The Culling Cycle – Chapter One

One

It’s appearance didn’t bother her.

Living in a single-floored ranch house for years, things just randomly appeared. A random sock happened to say hello from under the bed when on the search for another item.

Opening a drawer revealed the battery that’d been missing for ages. A thingmajig popped up on the desk or a pokieproddie under the foot on the one day shoes weren’t there for protection.

That was the thing with houses. Random objects appeared and weren’t thought too much about. More s...

Learning as she studies

I am a huge fan of elephants. Especially babies. So that’s why I’m using that image. No other reason, haha. Baby elephants make me happy!

I mean come on. That’s just cute.

So Mila has been learning while she studies the Queen and King of the Awakened. Not even asking a lot of questions, she is finding that as she watches the way they interact with one another, the things they say, and even how they don’t at times speak, but do speak.

It’s telling her a huge story about the type of people they...

This is from yesterday. Tried, but failed today.

So freaking tired. I’ve been staring at the page for a while and not able to get my brain to move beyond reading the same sentence over and over.

Here is the reason I’m tired.

Cheyenne had her spay yesterday. She was suffering from a false pregnancy every time she went into heat and it was imperative to get it done. A false pregnancy means she would lose the majority of her hair, lose weight (because her body put it into producing milk for her “babies” it thought she had), and get really amo...

Okay so time disappeared

Snug wug baby featured image. Yes, I annoy her. She’s the cute one so I sort of have to.

Not entirely sure where my day went. I got up at a reasonable hour and then poof. Now it’s 4:18 pm, my hands are so cold that I’m struggling to write because it’s NOT warm here though the sun is out. And I do have my wrist warmers on but they aren’t helping.

This morning as I was writing I was inspired to jot up a quick blog. I was trying to get a bunch of things out of my head because I couldn’t focus on...

Well, they have met. Now what?

The featured image entertains me. That was last night. Mila decided to sit in front of me and tell me she wasn’t tired!  I didn’t know until after I clicked that the timing was perfect to closed eyes, haha. Her eyes kept drifting shut over and over again.

Here it is again in case it doesn’t show right on your screen.

And back to the story, Mila and Stefan have approached the King and Queen of the Awakened.

This is where the final series story picks up because I had to rewind the time back to...

Following their gut

Taking a break from working with pizza dough (it’s rising to make homemade pizza tonight) to write this up. Also washing dog blankets and formatting The Culling Cycle for sale. Working on replacing italics in the Nuclear Purge Method that Smashwords recommends. Also dealing with Cheyenne (shih tzu) being sick all night has left me with one brain cell working. Her body has been going through a faux pregnancy after her periods so now it’s top priority to get her spayed. I’m trying to get her we...
