New Cover for an un-named story.

Scribd - archives...

Well. Received an interesting email today from someone on a website - a founder/employee of wattpad. She noticed in previous correspondence from me that I was a member of scribd and that I posted my work on. Well. They've implemented archives - meaning that to read any scribd document offline you would have to have a subscription. The money they gain from these subscriptions supposedly go towards costs of servers and storage. Surely they can gain the much needed money in alternate ways such as advertising? It's not the fact that they've implanted monetization to the site that has infuriated me, it's the fact that they didn't bother to sending existing members an email reporting this change. I have closed my account Down for the moment. There is no point keeping on there seeing as I don't agree with their new agenda.

More soon

I need motivation.

I need some serious motivation. Lately I haven't felt like writing or proofreading. I've been having an off period. I MUST start doing these things again or they'll get swept under the rug and forgotten. And then where will I be - nowhere. Considering thinking of and then subsequently beginning a new story. Sounds like a good idea but for the fact I've not finished any of the other 3 stories I was in the process of writing. I must have around 14 plus pieces of proofreading with which to edit and send back to the recipients. One of the wattpad team are guest blogging on a site and want to use me as an example and quote from me. Sounds great. Maybe it's the kick up the backside I need. Lol. Anyway. Bed is calling to me so goodnight all and will blog more tomorrow hopefully on a worthy subject other than my procrastination.

Birthday has been fantastic!!

Well. I've have a fabulous day indeed. I got some lovely cards, wonderful presents. I've had some cake. I even got a lie in. Was wonderful indeed. The best part - my new shinies. Jewellery you may think but you'd be wrong. My new shinies is an iPad. I love it!!

Anyhow. Will post more later

Neglecting things

Not been in the mood to do much in the way of writing or blogging and such. Even my proofreading is currently on the backburner. I'm finding it difficult to get any enthusiasm to do anything. Guess I'm a mess right now.

Sorry for neglecting any followers - which I don't think I have any anyway.

Will think of a better topic to blog about later.
Amelia

Long time, No post!

I really need to post more regularly. I know that but have been very stressed and busy lately. I know I shouldn't make excuses but I feel bad. Although I don;t think anyone follows my blog or reads it so hey... no-one misses me I reckon.

Anyhow - What's new? Well: I've been catching up on proofreading, adjusting to some tablets that cause drowsiness, going to town and such, reading, watching films... Was my daughters 3rd birthday last sunday - was a hectic day. The last month everything seems to be happening. Hardly any of it good. What can you do but plod on and continue?

Anyhow. I've very tired so going to wrap this up short... I posted on wattpad about dialogue tags... http://www.wattpad.com/565437-dialogue-tags Seems to be helping a lot of people so going to start doing writing tips. Possibly tomorrow or Sunday I'll continue with that. No idea what tomorrow will bring... a lie in would be nice but not confident. lol.

Goodnight all followers
Amelia.

Awfully tired... things to do

I have so many things to do before Me and My little girl go on holiday camping with my parents. Should be a fun experience maybe. I know Inara will love it. :) She loves tents and sleeping bags. We need to get a few things from town today so will be going soon.

Absoloutley shattered to be entirely honest. I want to sleep for a while. My eyes feel insanely heavy today. Guessing sleep is something I could do with. lol.

Will maybe manage to post another update before I go on holiday. Will be out of contact then. :)

Talk soon
Amelia.

Proofreading to be done.

Wow. I managed to do one persons proofing but seems I have 5 or 6 more to go. Will at least try to do another today. Maybe work to do 2 a day at the least. Don't want to overdo things and make myself feel worse. This is the first time in around a week I've actually felt like doing anything other than moping after my dental fiasco.

I'm a busy busy woman at the moment. :) Fun times ahead. I really must start writing again. I must admit though, I do love helping others improve their writing. It's very rewarding. :)

Anyhow.
Best get back to it.
Amelia.

PS - Considering how to get more people interested in my blog.

Wow - So many requests.

Wow. I have quite a few requests now for critiquing and proofreading. I'd best get a move on. My break is coming to an end I think. Painkillers seem to be affecting me less lately so might make a start on it tonight.

Went to town today. Didn't feel brilliant but I at least got out of the house for a little while.

I think I'm going to get myself some dinner, then maybe proofread one or two pieces. Busy night for me tonight.

Long time no blog...

Well. I know it's been a while since I uploaded the blog and I'm sorry for that but I've been resting lately. My gum is feeling sore still but a little better. Fingers crossed it'll heal quickly. I've not been writing much this last week. The codeine messes with me too much for my writings to make sense. I have however been doing a little poetry. Been quite satisfying and relieving.

Hopefully soon I'll be back to my old self.

Might start proofreading again although not sure. Might just take it easy for another day or two.

Talk soon

The Dental Fiasco!!

So. I went to my dentists today to have a tooth extracted. Petrified as I was I went in head high. I waited in the waiting room to be called. After maybe 20 minutes I was called in. I had lots of anesthetic in. 2 syringes worth. Got to go wait for a further 10 minutes before being called back in to begin.

The pain itself was agonizing. I felt everything. Reason being I have a high resistance to anesthetics. So Mr dentist man loosened the tooth as I squeezed my eyes shit tight and endured. Then came the ultimate pain where he tore it from the gum. OUCH!! I groaned in pain as he did this. He said he was proud yada yada considering i was petrified and obviously in pain. Was told I could probably get away with one more day of antibiotics then could stop them.

The anesthetic had worn off 25 minutes after initial application - talk about short lived. :)

Anyhow, it was all done and I was very happy to be able to shut my mouth fully without excrutiating pain. That was until it began to bleed 2 hours after the extraction. I tried everything they told me. Called them, was referred to an emergency line... which was SHUT... That line referred me to NHS direct - So I called and they gave me a bit more advice. Tried it... an hour later still bleeding and me feeling terrible. Called them back again and this time was told: Go to A&E.

MEH - Hospitals... So I had high blood pressure and a slight fever. Still bleeding i was referred to another unit. They looked it over, numbed me up better than my own dentists - so much my tongue and entire right side of my face was paralyzed and proceeded to gouge out the small clot that had formed yet was still weeping. Cleaned it out with mouthwash and then proceeded to poke around in the socket. They then proceeded to fill it with a packing substance to stem the blood flow and then made me bit down on an anesthetic soaked piece of gauze. Yummy. Not... tasted disgusting.

I have to say... I HATE DENTISTS. I haven't had the best experience in the past with them but today has just taken the piss.

Not only do I have to finish the course of manky antibiotics I'm on... I'm now on codeine phosphate and paracetamol for the pain. I have to rest for the next 2-3 days.

All this for a "simple" extraction. FUCK - I'd hate to see a complicated one.

I'm off to rest.
Have a nice evening people.
Amelia.

Extraction imminent

Oh man. I'm petrified. I got very little sleep last night. Between an almost panic attack, feeling deathly ill, screaming cats and a prematurely woken toddler - I slept little. Woke up this morning feeling sick as a dog and scared to death at the impending tooth pulling. I know it's a necessary evil but it's the first one I ever had and... Anaesthetic isn't very effective on me.

I fear it will hurt. A lot. Best go and try to relax. Freaking out is not a viable solution. Lol.

Woah... Feelin' funky!!!

Okay; so those new antibiotics I've been prescribed are making me feel like crap. Feel nauseous, dizzy and so so tired. I have 3 more days to endure of them. I don't relish the idea. Ah well; what can we do but persevere?

I get my tooth pulled out tomorrow. I'm bricking it royally. I'll be shaking like a dog crapping razor blades tomorrow. Not fun. I'm petrified of the dentists. If they still gave general anaesthetic as an option... Just being knocked out... I'd so take that. Ha ha. Instead I have to be awake as they tear a tooth away. Eek.

But things can only get better from then on out. No more pain when I eat. No sudden bolts of lightning when I slightly clench my teeth to swallow - as we do numerous times throughout the day. Sure... I'll be missing a small molar... but I'll be free of the savage agony that's had it's hands on me since over a week ago.

Considering taking a break this evening. Not done any writing lately and for that I should get my hands slapped. But... I've been proofreading for others and some other bits. It's not like i haven't been completely productive. I think even if I wanted to write this evening I couldn't - Fear is too distracting emotionally. I'll not focus and knowing my luck I'll end up writing my characters into a dentist chair and write something horrific that shall give me nightmares this very night. Making tomorrow much much worse.

I best wrap this up - I'm beginning to freak myself out. :)
I'll update tomorrow unless I'm too... distraught?

Amelia.

Dentists... oh joy.

Okay. So as some of you may know I've been suffering for a week or so with intense tooth pains. I saw the dentist at an emergency appointment and was told - 'The root is dying, and is infected.' - So... Where does that leave me? A root canal. Well... That was the plan. But the soonest they could get me in was August the 6th. Well. After the round of anti-biotics not working and having a check up today I queried: 'Can I get in sooner if i request you just take it out?' - he said yes so voila. I'm having my tooth removed Wednesday at 11.55am. I'm scared shitless because I have major resistance against the aneasthetics they use - I feel everything. Not good, not good at all.

So... My plans this week... trying to write with an impending tooth pulling - FANTASTIC... Like I'm going to be able to concentrate.

Been given more anti-biotics so using them. Strong ones apparently - 'No Alcohol Consumption' On the label. They must be good.

Considering starting a book with a friend of short stories. Will see how that fairs out.

I'm tired and cranky and feeling generally mopey so I'm going to post this and maybe go to bed.

Goodnight followers
Amelia.

Sorted my blogging account finally

What with setting up my facebook and twitter I thought I may aswell set up my blogger account. I'll more than likely use it(I hope) and who knows... If I become big(which I hope again but doubt), it may be a much needed tool. :)

Anyhow. I'd write more but unfortunately it seems I have to nip off to do a few things. My little girl just stripped off fully and used the potty.

Ah well. I hope to update soon.
Amelia <3
