One of these days, I’m going to get better about posting regularly. Until then, you’ll have to put up with only seeing a few things a week from me.
I have just posted the latest update to Alayne’s Story over on the WoW-Europe RP forum. This week’s update introduces Brann Bronzebeard and begins to put names to some of the places the characters have heard rumors of. Yes, this kicks off the very lengthy Ulduar storyline.

Latest Update Posted
I’ve just posted the latest update to Alayne’s Story over on the WoW-Europe RP forums. Ordinarily, I’d have thought of a snappy teaser intro to put here but right now, all I can think is “how much longer until I can go back to sleep?”
Exhausted
I have been so exhausted for the past couple of days that I think a coma is in order to get my energy level back up above “zombie” in the evenings.
I’ve been back at work for a week now. I have my good days and my bad but even on better days, I find myself so damned tired by the time I get home that I can barely lift my feet off the ground to walk into the apartment. I haven’t fallen asleep on the bus (yet) but that’s only because I keep my music blasting fairly hard and generally drink a Coke in the afternoon before I leave the office.
It’s the having to “be myself” at work that I was before my brother died that’s draining me so much right now. It didn’t used to take this much energy to be witty, sarcastic, silly, and still pretty damned competent and efficient at my job in the past. That’s always been so easy that I still had plenty of energy left over for raiding or running dungeons in the evenings. Now I’m lucky if I can string together a coherent paragraph in Alayne’s Story after work. I hear my own voice over Ventrilo and I know I sound “off” at home but damned if I can find the energy to inject any kind of emotion in my voice other than the “Jesus Christ I’m tired and I want to go to bed” feeling.
And no, I’m not whining and saying that you guys won’t get an update. You’ll get one this week. And every week after that for the foreseeable future. I’m just so frickin’ tired, though, and I don’t really have any other place to whine about it than here.
Right, enough of that. Bed and then back to the grind tomorrow.
Latest Update Posted
I’ve just posted the latest update to Alayne’s Story over at the WoW-Europe RP forums. This week’s update starts the ramp up to figuring out what’s going on in Ulduar and what it has to do with Silithus and other points of interest.
I’m really looking forward to BlizzCon so I can see if there’s going to be another expansion to WoW and, if so, what the storyline might be like. I’m having trouble focusing on my writing lately (gee, wonder why that would be) and maybe if I can see something cool coming down the road, I can find the enthusiasm to work on this more. Right now, all I really want to do is raid until I fall asleep at the computer as long as my group doesn’t make me want to strangle them with their own entrails.
What a week…
God help me; I never want to go through another week like that again. Ever.
I got absolutely no writing done. I barely had my computer turned on. I spent most of my time with my parents. My brother’s visitation and funeral were beautiful and very well attended. I think there were over 400 people at both. AMR and all of the local volunteer fire houses had their trucks out there to escort him from the funeral home to the cemetery. It was really nice to see just how many friends he had and how well-liked he was.
On top of that, we found out he had a daughter. So, I’m an aunt.
I’m back home myself now. Jet-lagged and tired but home. I’ll go back to work some time this week. I’ll get started on my writing again and will, hopefully, post an update this Friday. However, for now, I’m just really tired and really glad that last week is over. Part of me is still hoping I’ll wake up to find it was just a really vivid (and really bad) dream.
Next Week
There may not be an update at all next week. Last night, I found out that my younger brother died. My husband and I are going to fly back to the US tomorrow morning to be with my family for a while. I probably won’t get any writing done (I just can’t focus on it right now) and I probably will not post an update to the story next week.
Latest Update Posted
I am so glad I have next week off for vacation. I really need to get caught up in my updates. This week’s has just been posted and takes us the rest of the way through the characters’ trip to Sholazar Basin. Hints of events to come are dropped in though only in the most…incomplete…sense. 🙂
Latest Update Posted
I’ve just posted the latest update to Alayne’s Story over on the WoW-Europe RP forums. This week’s update takes the characters into Sholazar and begins building the groundwork for the next major arcs. It’s a longer update than usual because of the length of the scenes.
And now, I am going to go lay back down. This damned virus or whatever it is is horrible.
Horribly behind schedule this week
I am way behind even my revised (five pages) schedule this week. I have not been able to sit up very long or stay off the toilet much. Notice that I’m posting this entry at Godawful O’clock? Guess who’s being kept up all night again by the Stomach Bug from Hell? If you guessed “Alayne” then you’re right! Cookies for you!
At least maybe I’ll get some writing done and get somewhat caught up while I’m trying not to make a mess everywhere.
(Btw, no, I’m not toilet-blogging. The cord on my laptop doesn’t reach that far. Yes, I did test it. Hey, you come get whatever the hell it is I have and then you can judge me).
I hate being sick
I really do. It sucks. I’ve caught some kind of intestinal bug from hell. This means that I will be lucky to crank out five pages this week. I have zero energy; I’m at home right now wondering if I really and truly need intestines.
However, I’m doing good on the quitting smoking front. Over a week since my last. Go me. 🙂
