and thank you for your input as an author. I always want to know everything about what people are thinking when they're writing. 


You're welcome, before I started writing I must admit, I heard writers saying, " the character won't stop talking to me" and I was a bit like yeah, yeah, whatever. But it's true, I was writing a story one time and the character just lead me in a totally different direction than I was planning on when I started the chapter and it stumped me, I had to email my beta to ask if she had any ideas for how I could get him back from the point I ended up in. 

Must admit, I tend not to start posting a story until it is fully written, that way I hope the storyline will be tighter and not ramble,( I have 5 full length fics in various stages of completion at the moment), also it means I'm not under any pressure if I get blocked, and my readers will get nice regular updates too.

OK, the father/son story sounds creepy...

But I really like poly stories. The Trip home is a very good story and there are several others that are pretty good.

And I actually know a poly family and it works for them. A married couple, she has a boyfriend and he has a (married) girlfriend. There is a lot of love in that family.

I find I work on whichever Edward is "speaking" to me at the time, that way I don't ever feel like I'm forcing anything.

A friend shared this with me and I am now sharing it with you.


Ever walk into a room with some purpose in mind, only to completely
forget what that purpose was?

Turns out, doors themselves are to blame for these strange memory lapses.
         
Psychologists at the University of Notre Dame have discovered that
passing through a doorway triggers what's known as an "event boundary” in the mind, separating one set of thoughts and memories from the next.

Your brain files away the thoughts you had in the previous room and
prepares a blank slate for the new locale.
     
So it's not ageing,  it's the stupid door!
     
Thank goodness for scientific studies like this!

ok ladies.  I have a caliber question.  How come it is showing up complete in the completed/in progress column but the chapters are not all there.  I think this was previously asked but can't find it. 

Also how do I send books to my ipad mini with caliber? 

Thank you  Miss you all    Hope to be back real soon.  Had a flood from a busted pipe when we had the sub zero temps so trying to get everything back in order from that.

Are there any amazing Alice/Jasper AH stories that I should be made aware of? I guess it's time for me to broaden my horizons and take a break from Edward and Bella. I feel like I need to fill out an online dating questionnaire with all of my preferred reading quirks 

I like Bella and Jasper, but only if it comes with the warning of NO Edward or Alice in the story. I can't handle love triangles. Choosing between an emo old vampire and a teenage werewolf was enough for me. Plus it annoys me that almost every love triangle situation I've read has someone written as the stereotype for a boyfriend or girlfriend that one dates out of boredom and loneliness and it never seems to take into account how it affects each party.

I can relate on the pipe breaking. It is a total mess and a lot of work. I also remember regretting letting my husband toss my rain boots. My feet were so cold cleaning up water.

So are you saying the chapters aren't there or the data is not there? If it's the actual chapters? You will probably need to download it again. Otherwise make sure in the ffdl setup that chapters update always and not just when new. 

Question about the stories you're missing chapters on, were you downloading them while they were WIPS?  If you were... by chance, did you convert them before they were marked completed?  I only ask this because I use Calibre and the FFDL plug in. I have a LOT of WIPS I keep track of (I don't read WIPS anymore) and update as I get the alerts. I made the mistake of converting some WIPS from ePub to Mobi before they were completed, thinking that when I updated them in the Calibre library it would update both the ePub and the Mobi, it doesn't.  So then once I realized this, I had to go back and re-convert each one once they were completed.  Now all the chapters show up. 

I hope that makes sense and that it might help.  Long story short, if you converted to PDF or Mobi before they were marked complete... those will be missing chapters.  Just select the file and push the convert button and it will update it that way and all your chapters should show up then.
