paynesgrey: 13th doctor - feel free (drwho2)
Rose pink

Not much is going on in life. Just the same real life stuff - consulting with Capgemini, doing things with my family, keeping up the house and the pets, and trying to make some passive income with Poshmark and Pangobooks.

I'm doing some reading too, and I'm almost finished with The Apothecary Diaries Light Novel volume 4. I have some library books that I'm reading, mostly cookbooks, and reading some manga here and there from Hoopla through the library.

I've been doing some outlining for the stories for the fic fests I joined for the summer. Hopefully I can get writing them soon!

Trying to save money as best I can and eliminating eating out as much. We just painted the spare room in the basement which will become Juliet's playroom, and this weekend we'll be moving her in, as well as cleaning and organizing the basement and the garage. It's going to be a hot one this weekend so we'll be staying indoors mostly.

During all of this, there is one thing that brings me absolute joy and that would be my garden. I reactivated my Flickr account so I could post my garden pictures there, and not just on Facebook.

I will have to make sure to water vigorously this weekend as we are going to reach the upper 90s here in the Chicagoland.

Stay cool, everyone.

 It's been awhile... again. It's mostly because my work and family life are so busy I have little time for myself. I'm going to try to MAKE time, if possible, because I really do miss writing, drawing, and enjoying fandom things. I am mostly at Twitter because it's easier to update, but it's not the same as a journal, so I want to get back into Dreamwidth and Wordpress more.

Quick updates:

* I'm still working as a consultant for Subway as a content designer. It's busy and I'm working odd hours nonstop. Thank goodness I still work from home.

* Joe and I had a couple of health scares over the past few months. I had a endometrial biopsy, and he had his neck checked for nodules. I ended up with negative results for the biopsy, and thankfully Joe didn't need the biopsy, though he did get diagnosed with Hashimoto disease, which is an immunodeficiency. He already has vitiligo, so the Doctor says that having one immune deficiency brings on others. We're just both glad it's not cancer.

* Joe's mother died last month and we had the funeral this last Friday. It was super sad. She was in the hospital a lot, had struggled with her mental health for years, and just gave up recently to stop eating and taking care of herself. As a result, she had a heart attack and passed away on February 6th, the day after my husband's birthday. So it's been a rough month. The hardest part was holding my baby girl as she cried during the funeral mass because she couldn't see her grandmother anymore. 

* My best friend got engaged over Christmas and asked me to be her matron of honor. So I'm tasked to figure out where I can take an unvaccinated bride to be and other girls to a drag show, because that's what she wants. Wedding is in September. I also have to start looking for my dress given the color choices. I'm so happy for her. This will be her second marriage and she's definitely marrying a better guy.

* When I'm not catching up with work, I am trying to read more, as well as do some writing and drawing. I'm hoping to finish up another WIPs this year, fanfic and original writing. I'm trying to do a daily drawing exercise, but so far I haven't been very good at keeping up with it.

* I am obsessed with The Untamed. OBSESSED. I watched the show, am starting the anime, and bought the novel to be read soon. I love all the characters, the implied ships, the main ship - OMG, so lovely. For awhile I was just watching one episode a day while I was on my elliptical but I couldn't handle it and binged it within a few days over the weekend. I also finished HIStory 4: Close to You, which is a lovely BL show with so many wonderful tropes and characters. It was a feel good binge watch. I also enjoyed My Love Mix-Up, thought it sorely needs a second season. It was another cute show. I'm back trying to finish Guardian for now as well. I don't even bother with American shows anymore. I just love Viki and Netflix and all their Asian dramas and I'm set! I will say this about US shows, I do plan on catching up with the Marvel shows soon now that most of them will be in one place at Disney+, so there's that.

* I have decided to no longer update at Livejournal. My paid account was coming up and I just didn't feel like I was there enough to justify having a paid account or updating there. I cannot keep up everything so I'm going to just stay here on Dreamwidth. People can find me at Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook and Wordpress if you really want to find me. 

* The kid gave me a cold over the weekend, so I've been struggling with this since Thursday. It sucks. I've been trying to rest and take medicine all day yesterday and today. I have to at least get better before tonight as I have some work today before tomorrow morning's early publish for Subway.com.

* Lastly, I'm really trying to get healthier with my food and exercise habits, but it's been hard. I feel like I'm always starting over. I hope to make exercise a routine and eat less junk. I resigned up with Noom through my work and I renewed my Jillian Michaels fitness app. I just need to find the motivation and stop putting it off. I'm not getting any younger.

* I hope everyone is doing well. I hope to be more active here if possible but work has really been draining lately and it's not going to slow down because Subway is doing a complete redesign of their website that I'll be involved in. So there will be a lot of long work days and after hours work as well. 

Take care, everyone! Hope to see you around more.

paynesgrey: more delicious Reylo (reylo-3)
I've been pretty down lately, but I'm also trying to keep myself busy.

The job searching continues. I haven't had much luck with it. Mostly I deal with recruiters who never get back to me, or I get rejection emails from places I've applied. I just have to keep applying, and I am. I'm devoting a lot of my free time to just job searching. I'm also signed up for a couple of courses to enrich my skills. I just need the time to work on everything.

Being a stay at home mom does not help. Juliet is joined at my hip, needs a lot of attention, and when she's home I'm unable to get anything I want to do done. I though I could save money by taking her out of daycare, but truth be told, I had to put her back in, at least a couple days a week. I told Joe I'd find the money somewhere, even I have to sell crap on Facebook or Poshmark or do odd jobs somewhere. The days she is at daycare is so worth it for my mental health, and now I'm also trying to have her daycare days coincide when Joe has to go into the office, so then I have a day home by myself to work on my things uninterrupted. 

The other hurdle is sleeping. I haven't been sleeping well and it's affecting my mental health as well. I sleep during times when I could be doing something productive and I toss and turn at night or stay up reading manga and feeling sluggish the next day. So I need to get my sleep back on track, and I need to get my workouts back on track too. I've been really avoiding exercising lately. Thankfully, I haven't gained any weight. But still, I know if I was working out more my weight would go down so I'm upset by that. Honestly, I really wish I could start taking power walks or running again like I used to. It really helped me with my anxiety and depression and helped me feel like I was "running away" from it all, just a little bit. With Juliet, who screams and freaks out if I leave even for an hour, it puts tremendous pressure on me and I rather just not deal with it. Still, I might have to do it...

Otherwise, mostly I clean, cook, take care of the kid and dog and husband, try to pay bills, job search, do some writing, reading and try to get some sleep. We had to unclog pipe in the basement where our A/C runs off. That was a nice bill from the plumber. It was leaking on our carpet. So that sucks. We really don't have money for this kind of stuff.

Recently I had to write something for [community profile] unconventionalcourtship and it ended up being like 15K words of Modern-AU Reylo. I am happy how it turned out, but it also drained me because I was hauling ass trying to make the deadline. Next I have to work on [community profile] wipbigbang, which is due in a couple weeks. After that I'm going to work on some short stuff, or look into contests or any other freelancing stuff. I have freelancing requests in the queue so I'm definitely tackling those next.

Tomorrow Joe goes into work and Juliet has daycare, so I have a day to myself, which means job searching, follow ups, and possibly continuing my online courses. So the rest of today I plan on taking it easy, hoping to get a decent amount of sleep so tomorrow I'm refreshed enough to work on some things.

Otherwise, I'm reading a lot of manga, mostly online. I really enjoy Tsubaki-chou Lonely Planet  (May/December relationship between a writer and a poor HS student) and I was all ready to buy the English version and there isn't one, so all they have is scanlations. I've gone back and read it a couple times. Other manga I've enjoyed is Black Bird, L-DK, Blue Sky Complex, and Dame na Watashi ni Koishite Kudasi. 

I hope everyone is doing well and trudging through this year okay. I just really wish something good would happen. I really would feel a lot better if I got a new job and was able to feel more secure about the future.

Take care. 

FREE BOOK!

paynesgrey: Looking out at the world below (marilyn)
 So... in an effort to do a FREE promotion for the Spirits Abound anthology that I did with other writers last year, I ended up setting up a promo for the wrong book. So my novel Unbridled is currently FREE on Amazon kindle now instead.

If you haven't gotten a copy yet, please do so! The Promotion ends this Sunday.

Unbridled by H.K. Rowe

Summary:  Two orphan brothers are taken in by their rich cousins, only to become involved in a dangerous and risque romance with their beautiful daughter. And as each brother falls for her further, dark secrets arise weakening their strong bond.





Spirits Abound will go up FREE tomorrow. And I'll make a post for that too.

Thank you to those who download! DOUBLE TRIPLE THANKS if you manage to leave a review. 

paynesgrey: See me (drwho-12seeme)
This weekend sucked a goat's ass.

Not only did Rapey McPerjury get confirmed to the Supreme Court because why not, fuck us, but I also had shit just go wrong this weekend.

But last night before bed I noticed that my clothes were wet in the closet. WHY? Because our roof is leaking. Because we knew that we had roof damage, had a roofing contractor that dicked us around for two months, and now after firing them and trying to find someone new, we get this downpour rainstorm that soaked right through the roof into my bedroom closet. So last night I got no to little sleep because I was removing stuff from my closet, putting down towels over the carpet, and catching water in a bucket. Then I had to call State Farm and then make a claim. I also looked up another roofer, so fingers crossed this place isn't filled with unprofessional shitbag brodude assholes like the last one.

Not sure how much this is going to cost, but now there is interior damage as well, especially to the drywall. I claimed the carpet too but heaven knows I'm not going to get a chance to replace that! I'll just suck up the water with my carpet shampooer and hope that helps. I'd love new carpet in the whole upstairs but not necessary at this time. The water damaged roof and drywall will have to be replaced though. So fun!  I had to make a new claim with State Farm, so who knows when we'll get our claim check, and who knows how I'm going to pay for the roof. Haha! Ugh.

Then to make things more fun, the toilet we tried fixing this weekend is still running. It works okay and flushes but won't stop running! Joe woke me up in the middle of the early morning to help him shut it off because he couldn't sleep with the noise. So we have to figure that out too. Might have to call a plumber for this one. UGHHHHH.  If we could swing it, I'd opt for a brand new toilet but since we have a roof to fix, probably need a quick fix for now. Or we just don't use the toilet upstairs, which SUCKS, since it's the master bedroom.

I know disasters come in threes so I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop.

It would be lovely if I got a bonus check or a salary increase as promised. Still heard nothing on that. We'll see. At least my boss is letting me work home if I have to this week to deal with the roofers.

To top it off, we're supposed to have Juliet's party this weekend and if we need to spend time on these issues, I won't have time to get my house in order for this party, AND it's supposed to rain heavily on Wednesday again so I'm really nervous about this leak now.  

I just wish it would stop raining. Please Goddess stop raining. At least for a week... Send the rain to California or Montana.

And we saw my mom Saturday and though it was good, she was for whatever reason, an ass to my husband, and he lost it and went off on her at lunch. It was awkward. But I don't really blame him. She hasn't said anything to me about his outburst, and I don't suspect she will since she doesn't confront people nor does she seem to get it when people have issues with her. It's usually always THEIR fault. I'm thinking about talking to her myself if they won't communicate with each other. But I've been so busy with the roof, toilet, child party and other stuff that I haven't had a chance knowing it WILL create drama and I just don't have the patience for that now.

I'm pretty sure the coils I bought for my vape are wrong again. I might just get a new mod because this one is just burning through coils and I might as well spend the money on a new one. Not sure what is going on with it and it's frustrating me because it helps me deal with all this stress, and now it's just becoming another stress.

Oh, and another top off, I got my monthly visitor! Thanks universe! *flips the bird*

We had some high points of the weekend despite all this mess. We did get some more coverage for our house that went into effect Saturday, so I'm kind of hoping the lower deductible and some of these new coverages will help us with our leaky roof. Fingers crossed! 

I got to see my BFF and sister Beth this weekend too. Joe and I got some good errands done around the house and finally donated everything left over from the garage sale to charity. So that stuff is out of the garage! I got my beta work done for another story and had a little time to finish some reading. I did a little editing to my own story for the anthology too. I'm not sure when I'll have time to work on it again but I'll try.

Unfortunately I may have to drop out of the Reylo Charity Anthology. I've had NO time to draw or work on it, and the deadline is coming up. So I'm going to mull it over and see how the week goes, but I might end up sending them an email that I am out and try for next year. I'll finish my comic when I have time and then put it up on deviantart. :/ I might be able to contribute writing but right now I have no ideas because my brain is so on edge. Ugh. Maybe I'll come up with something. *shrug*

BUT at least there was new Doctor Who! OMG! My thoughts:
Spoilers! New season of Doctor Who )

So yeah, that's the gist of my misery. I haven't had any time to write or work on freelancing either. I suck. :(

Take care everyone! Here's hoping your week is better than mine. I have a feeling that this is only the beginning to my woes this week. *crawls back under a rock*

The lovely [livejournal.com profile] nemophilist is having another FREE Book Giveaway for her books A History of Madness and Haze at [livejournal.com profile] self_published.

Haze Summary: 

When Eliza Owens gets a phone call in the middle of the night from a girl she’s never met, she doesn’t know what to think. The girl introduces herself as Paige, and says she used to date Erik Stern, Eliza’s fiancé. What’s more, she has something important to discuss.
The only problem? Paige has been dead for years.

Believing it to be a sick prank, Eliza tries to force it from her mind until Sam, Eliza’s older sister, tells her she met Paige only a few weeks before. And, according to Sam, Paige has nothing nice to say about Erik.

The fight which follows shatters the lives of everyone involved, and Erik disappears without a trace.

Five years later, Erik returns to town after his father’s death. Old wounds quickly resurface, and with them several burning questions. None the least of which is: Who spoke to Eliza and Sam if it wasn’t Paige? And why?

A History of Madness
Summary:

The four remaining fugitives are now spread across the Kingdom. And with the fate of the others unknown to him, Nate Anteros prays for a fast execution.

Yet execution does not come. After a meeting with the King which leaves Nate questioning his sanity, he’s sent to a workcamp in Argon Basin for five years of hard labour. It’s there that Nate learns what became of his friends upon their arrest.

And as his strength returns to him, and he’s plagued by dreams which are much too real to be ignored, Nate decides five years is far too long to wait …

1) Do you enjoy your work?

Yes I do, very much! I'm finally doing something that I enjoy and that is actually what the job description entails.

2) Are you overpaid or underpaid for the work you do (or last did)?

I'm a bit underpaid for my job, but given the perks of this place, I don't mind. Plus it's a smaller company. I know I'd make more downtown Chicago in this position, but I'd rather make a little less and work out in the suburbs for a non-corporate company.

3) What one thing do you dislike most about your work?

The internal marketing meetings with the VP of Marketing. She's a notorious micromanager and a habitual delegator. I feel like she doesn't know much about Marketing.

4) What one thing would make your work life happier or more satisfying?

If they offered dental insurance and paid for the portion of health insurance for dependents. i have to pay full percentage for my daughter's health insurance on each paycheck. I'd probably keep a couple hundred dollars a paycheck if they just paid some of the dependency insurance. And FFS, dental insurance is not that expensive if you have enough employees. I guess at least I have vision insurance and damn good insurance for myself, so I'd see that as the only failing.

5) Do you try to fit into your workplace’s culture? What does that entail?

Well yes, but the culture is pretty simple here. We have a healthy balance of work and family life here. Most people don't involve each other in their personal lives outside of work. We're not "friends" outside of working together and everyone understands how important our families are to each other and that sometimes we need to take off or come in later to manage our kids. I respect that. I don't want to be friends with my coworkers even though I do like them. And everyone gets along well in my department, there's no cattiness, and no drama or cliques. It's professional and we still all have crazy humor and relate to each other generationally so it works.



***

Slow day at work. Not much is expected of me since my boss is gone and our site test went up yesterday. We launched an A/B test on our speedbumpsandhumps.com page and I created the UX and design for our product selector. The developer helped me with JS and some other functions, but most of this is mine. I'm rather proud of it. I hope it's successful. So far since yesterday afternoon we've generated $4K in sales from the test. Not bad! 

I finally sold one of my mom's lighthouse paintings on Letgo that she wants to get rid of (no she didn't paint them, just bought them a long time ago with my stepdad). I meet the guy tonight at Home Depot. I'm going to try to talk to him and see if he'll take the other two for $30 if I hold them for him. I just want them gone, and my mom doesn't seem to care what I get for them.

I'm picking up the Buddha head tomorrow and then we head out to a friend's place after that to check in on him. Joe says he's been very depressed lately and has been shutting people out and very down and I told Joe that I was worried about him, so he's agreed to meet us tomorrow to talk. I hope he's okay. I just want him to know that we're here for him. 

Back to the grind. I have so much writing and graphics to do. I hope I get the motivation to do some of it. Today would be perfect because no kid to grab me or bang on my computer, and I don't have anything pressing to do for work.

But I'm still exhausted. Tonight I might need to do a tarot reading for a guy through Facebook video. Other than that, I really want to just take it easy this weekend.

Have a good one, everyone! Stay cool if you're experiencing this dreadful heat!

I posted MY fanfic assignment on time, but still many people are without Reylo treats for the Valentine's Day Exchange at the More than Love Anthology. I'm going to go through the prompts to see if I can manage anything for someone. Everything is due February 23rd. 

Please feel free to look through the list at AO3 if you can write Reylo for someone. 

Here's the original post at Tumblr.

Stolen from [personal profile] scripsi and [personal profile] lost_spook:

 

List the first five (or so) lines of your last 20 stories (or however many you have altogether. WIPs count). See if there are any patterns.

 1. One Quick Trip (Doctor Who, Eight, Gen) -  Muriel thought she was dreaming. She turned around the room, soaking in the impossibility of it, taking in every detail she could. If this was a dream, then why could she see so much and with so many details? Wouldn’t her vision be hazier?

 

The decor of this room, well, the control room of his spaceship, was a mixture of old-fashioned Earth Victorian melded with alien technological elements. In the corner she saw regular old books on a dusty bookshelf, and next to it a small ornate chair with end tables at either side. 

 

 

paynesgrey: Looking out at the world below (marilyn)
Still desperate! I just had another hefty bill come through for my car, and I'm still paying off medical bills for having my baby and surgery on some complications. 
 
I am open to pretty much everything for the things on this list. Let me know if you have ideas and we can work something out.
 
Things I will be able to do:
 
Graphic design work (1-2 iterations):
- Wallpapers ($3) computer size and lower size
- Banners ($3) No more than 300x400 pixels
- Manips ($5) all sizes
- Book Covers for indie books ($10) - if I need to use my stock imagery account this might include the cost of the stock photo too.
- Logos, icons, other graphics, custom graphics - we can discuss ($3 - $10)
- Indie Publishing package ($100) This includes book cover, beta read, uploading to Amazon, Nook, or any other ebook place. Same goes for a layout for Creative Space too for a physical book.
 
Digital art, fandom or original:
 
- Pastel, Marker or Colored Pencils 8x10 ($25)
- Digital, Photoshop or Illustrator or Sketchbook 8x10 ($30)
- Black and White ink ($15)
- Coloring Book page ($10)
 
Pet Portraits:
 
- Ink ($20)
- Pastel or Colored Pencil ($25)
- Digital, Photoshop ($35)
 
Here are my portfolios to see my work:
 
 
I've done several big bangs, banners, and original award banners for lots of fandom communities. I've got about 15 years of design experience. Most of my professional work is graphic design, prototyping and web design. Painting and drawing is mostly a hobby at this point but I've done it since I could hold a pencil.
I will give a sample sketch to show you before you pay once we discuss subject matter and terms.
 
Keep in mind that I will not ask for payment until after the work is complete. I will be using Paypal only. I would feel super guilty if I got paid even a portion and could not deliver.
 
Please share if you can! Thanks!
 
PS: Another thing that would help out if you haven't bought my book Unbridled. It's at Amazon. 
Even though I don't get royalties until two months later, it would help later.
The e-book is $2.99 and the physical copy is $11.99. If you would like a physical copy signed by me, I can send you one for $10.
 
Thank you very much everyone!


(If I owe you commissions, I'm working on them and will finish them soon!)

paynesgrey: my little Clara (drwho-missyclara)
Well, fandom-stocking reveals are in, and I feel like such a lucky duck at all the goodies I received. I must thank everyone who filled my stocking this year. I am thoroughly happy with the thought that went into the banners, icons and fics for me! People in fandom are pretty amazing and I'm grateful to be apart of it.

I received several little fics that I feel I need to share. I hope you get a chance to read them and enjoy them as I did.

Doctor Who, Missy/Clara drabble by sharpest_asp. I love this little ficlet with a passion! Missy/Clara are my guilty pleasure.

Doctor Who, Love and Kisses by [livejournal.com profile] kiramaru7. River/Doctor is my OTP. Thank you!

Doctor Who, Passing Fancies - a River/Eight ficlet by muccamukk, OMG MY PAIRING. Loved this look at Eight and River crossing paths. Also, EIGHT!!!!!

Doctor Who, No, Miss Oswald, I Expect You to Die by JohnAmendAll, more delicious Clara/Missy. YOU SPOIL ME!

Doctor Who/Star Wars, Taking Relationship Advice from a Master by annariel, This was a HUGE surprise to me, mainly because I did not ask for Star Wars, and someone even went out of their way to notice that I ship Rey/Kylo Ren, and wrote a Missy instructing Kylo Ren about his attraction to Rey, which is GLORIOUS and CLEVER. And I just love this to bits. AHHHHHH! Perfection.

Agent Carter, A Married Man by [livejournal.com profile] yetanothermask, Peggy/Jarvis goodness that I rarely see because he's married, but this is PERFECT, and I just love their chemistry on the show so them pining for each other just makes a lot of sense to me.

Thank you everyone!

-- Also, I did some of my own from Doctor Who, Twilight, Jessica Jones, Inuyasha, and Marvel fandoms.
I updated them at [livejournal.com profile] paynesgrey_fics if you want to take a look.

All of this really cheered me up. I had sort of a bad day yesterday at work, so this really made up for it reading these stockings.
Wheee!
paynesgrey: TOM! (hiddles)
I did it!

Today I released my novel Unbridled!



Please find it here at Amazon Kindle! You can use it for any device that has the Amazon Kindle app or use it on the Amazon Kindle.

I'll be posting more links soon as they come for other websites.

I'd squee more but I'm exhausted. I was at a career fair downtown Chicago most of the day so I'm super tired, but I'll be promoting the book throughout the week, as well as catching up with my other stuff.

Seriously my life has been so much about this book lately my house looks like a disaster. Dishes aren't done, laundry is still not put away, and there's a cup with old coffee on it on my studio desk. Haha, does this mean I've finally truly become an author?

And OOH! I have my first review!

BOOOYAHHH!
