Long time, no post!

I am trying to have a sugar-free Friday. I almost bought a cupcake-- but didn't. Then I almost ate some lemon fudge-- but didn't. Then I tried to satisfy the craving by having mashed banana on top of a cracker spread with cream cheese, which I have to say was surprisingly good. But I still want something sweet, most particularly cake with ( Read more... )

Brit *glomps* I've missed you. I'm just recently coming back this year as well. I've been gone for a whole year due to a lot of complications in my life. They're not done right now but I decided to try to blow past them for now and just move on with my life. I'm in the process of trying to get through all of my messages but I have over 100 of them and that's taken down from 200+. So I'm still one of your Justice readers and I shall be catching up on Dragon Lady and Fighting Stance soon, so I really hope you're still working on them. This is only a quick run down of what's going on with me, I will be posting a full update soon on my page if you want to see more about it. Plus I'm in the brainstorming mode of the story I was telling you about where Berkkie is going to be a bit of a star :D. So yeah, happy belated birthday and don't forget to get the bears I sent you and don't forget about me ever again ;)

Hi, Stallianna! Yes, I think Dragon Lady should be the next thing I post, since it's only one chapter away from being finished. And I forgot about fighting Stance, but I ought to get going on that one too.

Didn't forget about ya, loved the bears!

Yay! Glad you liked the bears and didn't forget about me. That actually gives me motivation to move my story along as well. It's just the conflict I need that's giving me a hard time, but I think I almost have my ideas out.

Gee, I guess I shouldn't tell you that I'm sitting here sucking on a candy cane then, eh? Good to see you back ( ... )

Gimme that candy cane! Actually, I got though Friday without succumbing, but I got into the chocolate stash today. But I also did a major workout at the gym, so maybe I broke even.

600 hits in 24 hours is awesome! Go, you. I just can't get the hang of A03. It was only about two months ago that I realized that all the Dragon Lady chapters I tried to post there last year didn't go up. I somehow repeated the same chapter four times. Not sure how that happened, since I'm no stranger to uploading stuff, particularly in my job.

Anyway, good for you for accepting that challenge and writing something in 75 minutes! I don't think I could do that without getting a cramp in every typing finger. And maybe my brain.

How you can resist the siren call of sugary goodness at all is beyond me, so good on you! Maybe you could experiment a little with different sweet but sugar-free foods? (Do they even exist?)

I've been pretty good! It's crunch time for me until the end of January, but if I can get through it, I'm golden for the next two months. I can't even comprehend it right now... But in general, life has been pretty great these past several months!

Miki, I'm the same. January has a set of deadlines that are stressing me out, but if I can get through this month, February and March should be nice and productive for the writing plans.

I'm glad to hear life has been good for you. I hope it continues that way. I already feel like 2015 is going to be an awesome year for all of us.

I can barely resist that siren call. It's best if I don't have the temptation in the house. I wish I could get my husband to agree to detox with me. I think sugar is my addiction. It used to be shoes. I wish it was still shoes.

Always good to see you back on LJ again after an absence, even though I'm way behind and can't seem to find time to get up to date with Justice. I might try to read Dragon Lady first, if I ever get time for reading...

No, don't read Justice! I'm so behind on that one and I don't know when I;m next going to be able to post a chapter. And even then, I'll still be behind. Go ahead and read Dragon Lady. I write those chapters without a beta-reader, so I should be able to write the final chapter and post it sometime within the next two weeks.

LOL! It'll probably be finished before I find time for reading. The last year, I've been writing so much I don't seem to be leaving myself time for reading. i swore this year I'd slow down and get some reading done, but apparently my brain has other ideas.

I'll wait on Justice then, I haven't started reading June yet anyway, and you have some other shorter completed ones I can read.

Yeah, don't start Justice. Honestly, no one knows better than I do how frustrating it is to be really into a WIP and then it just stops. I think most of the people who have been reading my Fake stories over the years know that when I say I'm going to finish a story it means I will finish the story, but it can't have escaped anyone's notice that I'm making progress at a glacially slow rate.

My own dislike of having to wait is why I am avoiding certain TV series that are of great interest to me (like Downton Abbey, for example) because if I watched the back seasons and then got caught up, I would be frustrated at having to wait each week for a new episode. And at least TV fans get a new episode each week. Future Justice chapters will be happening on a much more random and slow schedule. But I do have a lot of finished Fake stories, and they're all here on my LJ, including some that are not published anywhere else.

Thanks for being willing to read my FAKE stories!
