Friends Only Hello everyone I’m making this a friends only site. I’m not posting fanfic, just rambling about my personal life. I’m also making it online friends only- so if you know me in real life I’m kicking you out LOL! I need a place to vent free from possible confrontation. I’m planning on posting a full update within an hour of posting this, so if you don’t see it, comment here and I’ll be happy to add you Witchdragon |

Sorry I've been gone so long- RL has been crazy busy and I've been focusing on my original fiction writing and when I'm here I spend far to much time reading you're guys wonderful stories!! I'm still a house parent for kids in foster care- OMG some of the kids I've had have made me want to tear out my hair! One was so bad for three weeks I couldn't write because I was so upset and frustrated and couldn't think of anything else. Okay so for some exciting news I'm going to self publishing my YA book Phoenix Child this fall. My hubby is painting my cover- I'll post it once it's finished and I get the photo taken. And my editor only has four more chapters to fix. I need to figure out how to format my book for POD and Kindle but my goal is Oct 3 because I'm part of a YA panel mid October. I'm 3/4 of the way through book 2- which is going much faster then the first book. I'm hoping to pop in now and then and read some lovely fics and update every one on my book. I have all for you to thank, without your feed back and support for Gypsy Caravan I wouldn't have even tried to write my own book. So thank you so much!! I'd love it if you guys would come and check out my blog http://alicamckennajohnson.wordpress.co I also have a Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.ph and a Twitter http://twitter.com/#!/alicamj To tempt you over and check out my original fiction I have started several adult books both het and gay romance with metaphysical/paranormal themes. So if you feel inspired or hopefully tempted come check on by. I could really use the support. So what's going on with all of you? I've been gone for months- new stories? RL ups and downs? Original books of your own? Stories or fests I missed and you know I'll love? |

We’ll start with the bad-ish news first, then end on a high note- LOL. I didn't make it into the one bite contest although I'm not surprised I didn't feel my story was that strong, but it was good to put something out there. I'm thinking of extending it- now that I don't have a word limit- and seeing if I can get it published. I got my score sheets from the Florida writing contest and I was right the poor editing killed me. One of the judges gave me tens in every category except mechanics, which I got a one in. The other judge gave me sixes- not great but not bad- and in her comments I could see how I would have scored higher had the grammar not been a problem- it messed up the pacing and dialog for her. So I cried, and pouted, and had a good sulk. Now I’m looking at their comments and seeing how I can improve my story, at least the comments I agree with. J I’m taking a query letter writing class and already sent in a query letter to the critiqued by Susan Ginsberg( an agent) - and I’m going to pitch to her in Nov!!!! Very exciting and I’m sure I will learn a lot. I have three classes I’m looking at taking: one on steampunk, one on writing realistic gay characters, and one on the eleven senses. The one on gay characters and the eleven senses over laps- I totally bombed on taking three at a time, but I’m thinking I might give these two a try as they are so interesting. I only have four chapters of hard copy edits to put into the computer then I’m done with the first book except for sending it to my critique group. So I’m going to do NaNoWriMo and work on book two plus other ideas that are bouncing around in my head. My goal is to get back into the creative flow of writing and out of the editing revision mode. |

| I want to put together a basket for my writers group to encourage more exotic in the erotic and romance books. I am looking for a photography book of lovely men from around the world. I’ve found plenty with white men- I think I have something I want to collect now- but few have men of any color and those that do it’s only one or two men. So does anyone know of a book with sexy naked men that are different races? I’ll even take one with pictures of men and woman. | ||||||

Hello everyone! I’ve missed you all. I’m still off fanfic- trying to get things together, but I miss you too much. So I’m going to try and just socialize. My journal is going to be friends only and posts are going to be RL only. So if you de-friend me I understand. If you want to stay here, that would be great. Hope everything is going well with everyone. Love Witchdragon |

Hugs and kisses to everyone!!! I miss you all so much. How is everything? Jobs, kids, houses, pets, partners? Life is good, I’m needed to watch my spending- I got a speeding ticket- my first ever- it was $211 – sucks. I’ve lost ten pounds- yeah! Work is work- one of my favorite girls left Friday to a foster placement. I’ll miss her. That night I was watching my eight-year-old rage and actually hoping at one point she’d go far enough so I could call the police and be done with it. Not so much fun that. I have done a ton of writing- I have three chapters to show for it and a ton of drafts that needed to be altered. I’m looking at started a writers group with a couple of friends. Did I mention I miss all of you? I hate not knowing how all of you are *squishes*. I’ll post again soon- let me know how things are- you can even link me to rl posts, no porn yet *pouts* Love Witchdragon |

Hello everyone- I just wanted to say I’ll be gone for a while. I’ve tried to cut back on how much I read- as some of you know, but really moderation and hot boys having sex just doesn’t work for me, so I’ve had my son remove the internet from my home computer and I don’t read porn at work- I work with kids and that is just wrong. Anyway you can still email, and I might pop in now and then to post, I’ll miss all of you, but I really need to do this right now. Hugs, kisses and licks to all of you!! Witchdragon |

Okay so it had to eventually happen, but still I'm totally freaked out. Last month one of my girls was throwing a fit and kicking furniture, at bed time. I chose to move her to another room. When I moved her she got a rug burn- which I didn't find out about until two days later because she complained to the school nurse it hurt. School calls CPS, cute cop comes out- he doesn't file a report because one wasn't needed. CPS casework gets into a snit and I'm formally reprimand- a piece of paper was added to my file. Well apparently this is so horrible that a CPS investigator is coming to talk to me. And what the report now reads is that I drug her through he house by one arm- WTF!! I know I didn't do anything wrong, but I am so freaked out. My job isn't a help to my family it supports us completely! And right now I don't have the money to move (we live where I work as part of my job) So while I know it my head it will be fine the rest of me is in full panic mode and I don't know how I'm going to survive until 10:45am tomorrow! Anyway just wanted to vent.
