Brain Went Splat

I am so unfocused and so distracted today- I can't read more than a few minutes of my homework before I'm ready to move on to the next thing. And I'll write maybe a sentence in my novel before I forget what I wanted to say. Actually, I'm lucky if I even get a full sentence down. Needless to say my brain went splat on my desk. I am officially mentally checked out. Like this:

The Links List is Up!

Not everything is there, but I have finally been able to acquire some of the old links that were originally on display, and added a new one in addition "Who vs. Whom". Hopefully this will be of use to people again! Sorry this has been down for so long.

Random Post

I wish I could just do a file upload to my CK blog- it would make things so much easier rather than copy and pasting every little thing (including my personally made comments). Will have to complete this task later though- off to accapella rehearsals I go.

Responsibility Shirked, New Responsibility Aquired

So I completely forgot I had posted that I originally said I would be fixing the links list- the only reason I realized it too was because I had news about my "Changing Kathryn" novel site...and when I was about to post it, well, oops!

Needless to say I did NOT fix the LL. I don't know when I will and since I failed at keeping my promise previously, I won't make another until I've got a specific time set aside for such.

But there is a new responsibility I'm taking on. As I mentioned about my CK blog above, I have a new development taking place. I have purposefully been avoiding posting anything else there for fear of copyright infringement issues- but I think I came up with a new solution for this:

There are some stories (i.e on Amazon) that are online where you as a reader than take a preview look inside. Of course not all the pages are available, and in several cases chapters are omitted. But in my case I don't want readers to be confused since the blog site is purposefully set up for acquiring feed back. Instead I will skip posting certain chapters, but will provide a "previously" type section in between in order to keep the reader up to date on what happened in the prior chapter.

Now I realize this may not work, especially since my chapters are well linked up together, but I want to give this a go since I really do want immediate feedback, but moreover I want people to be entertained rather than having to wait. And more moreover, I don't want the site to go dead and be abandoned. I worked hard on creating it. I want to make it stick for as long as I can, and if that means finding a new solution to work around CRII (my personal abbreviation for copyright infringement issues) then I will do everything I can to find that solution, even if it means not being able to post for awhile longer, as much as that kills me to say.

Well, check back soon and expect a coming update regarding my CKNBS ("Changing Kathryn" Novel Blog Site).

Thanks!

Blog Update: Coming Soon

I'll be scrounging around my blog to continue adding to the favorites list link which was deleted when I changed the look of this blog- I expect that this endeavor won't take too long, so check back tonight!

First Post of the New Year

I have taken my precious time to make a new post- and now I'm finally at it again.

I'm not quite sure what to write at the moment, so...how about a novel update?

I just reached chapter VII (8), and I've already got a plan in mind for how to finish it (the chapter, not the book). I think the trick with this book this time around, in order to make sure I finally get it right, is to work on a single chapter at a time. I have been planning each chapter right before I start writing, finish it, then go on to the next one. I refuse to prepare anything too far in advance- it was perhaps my greatest downfall in the previous makings.

Well that's about it as far as novel work goes. Right now my little 6+ month-old kitten is curled up asleep beside me in "our" bed, my dad's puppy asleep at my feet. Gods I love them both.

In further news, that's actually not news at all: I Hope this new year is treating people well- it's certainly been a rough one as I've heard from many. Take care of yourselves and each other. And try and make 2017 as easy as possible for yourself.

Best and sincerest regards,
Kay R.
