First, thanks again to all for your good wishes. Dad is doing really well and Mom is doing better. So, yay!

I'm back with another installment of Marking Time. This chapter got a wee bit long, so I’ve split it into two. Should be posting the next one very soon. Just have a teeny bit to finish up.

Hope this one is not too heavy handed. I want my ( Read more... )

Well, when I posted the last new chapter of Marking Time back in September, the plan was to write straight through to the end of the story and get it wrapped up by the end of the year. As usual,  Life had other plans.

Found out my Dad had cancer, and my Mom got sick at the same time. Things got challenging for a while. But God has been good to us ( Read more... )

Hope all of you are well and happy and keeping out of trouble (except for the good kind). Life continues to be crazy hectic on this end. Some very good, some pretty bad, but mostly in between.

Did some writing over the recent holiday. I’ve managed to finish another chapter of Marking Time. Under different circumstances, I would ask the excellent pennydrdful  ( Read more... )

Ohmigosh. It’s seasonal_spuffy  time! Methinks I picked a good week to look in on LJ again.

Also, finally posting the next chapter of "Marking Time." I was going to split it into two parts since it’s a long-ish chapter, but I can’t really find a good breaking point.

If you’re still along for the ride…yay! Thank you very much. And I frequently forget to say it, but ( Read more... )

I can’t believe it’s been almost a year since I last posted to my LJ. It’s crazy how the time gets away.

I just did some final tweaking to the latest chapter of Marking Time. Actually had it finished months ago, but it’s been a hard year. Various family crises, friends in need, some personal health issues and mucho home repairs, to name a few.

...just in case you were wondering. Replies to the latest comments, as well as the next fic posting, won't happen until tomorrow night. Had a huge fire to put out at work and didn't get home until very late. I knew I shouldn't have said anything! I always jinx myself! Heh.

Okay, here's the next one up. Unless something unexpected comes up, I should be back tomorrow night with another fic.

Summary: A little “fill-in-the-blanks” Spuffy ficlet set directly post-Lies My Parents Told Me. What might have happened after Buffy closed the door on Giles. A little bit angsty.

I can't believe I'm actually back again just one week after my last post. I know! What's up with that?

I come bearing fic. No, I haven't zoomed through the next chapter of Marking Time. (Ha! As if.) But the other day when I was posting the latest installment, it dawned on me that there are quite a few fics that I have posted elsewhere, but not here ( Read more... )

Mea culpa. Still around, believe it or not. Work and a bazillion other things have kept me preoccupied and away from LJ this year, although that’s nothing new or different. Purna Dad had open-heart surgery, a stay in the hospital and is now on the road to recovery via rehab, albeit with a few speed bumps here and there, but overall he’s doing ( Read more... )

I'm working on the next chapter and just realized I may have made a teeny continuity boo-boo in Marking Time. When I originally wrote about the button-down shirt Giles loaned to Spike, it was black. But somewhere along the way, I got it into my head that it was white. It's possible I've referred to it that way in a later chapter, though I haven't ( Read more... )
