I want to thank everyone for being so patient and hanging on. This post is to give you a heads up of where I’ve been, what’s going on, and what my plan is. You all know I’ve been very busy this last month with different projects. Here’s the things I’ve been doing:
Writing and recording Chapter 1 Guardians
Setting up GuardiansNovel.com
Editing previous recorded Interviews to put up on TaleChasing soon
Organizing all the volunteers for a BDSM festival next weekend
Scheduling all the security volunteers for said event
Helping with the scheduling of other events at said event
Doing a final edit of my friend’s new book being released at said event - The Forked Tongue
A complete server move for over 25 domains I’m associated with
Planning and beginning the write of Chapter 2 of Guardians
Taking Advice, Tarot, and “other” calls to make a little extra green
Working out like a dog to loose some weight for the event
Whew…I’ve been busy.
Here’s what my next week and change looks like:
Finishing placing a few spots left to fill at the event
Organizing sheets and giving out all my volunteers their final hours for the event
Finishing up the server move
Taking a few extra calls for the cash
Packing for the event
Dying my hair before the event
A small shopping trip to Khols before the event
And then Thursday - Monday running around like mad and hopefully having some fun at THE EVENT!
What am I planning for after the event?
Doing finishing edits on 3 interviews
Putting up the PG Holyfield Interview
Putting up the Mur Lafferty Interview
Putting up the Tee Morris/Philippa Ballantine Interview (I did today)
Putting up the first Chapter of Guardians
Making some cash on phone calls so I can go to DragonCon
Writing and putting up the 2nd Chapter of Guardians
And there you have it….where I been, what I’m doing, where I’m going. So hopefully you can understand why there has been a delay in not only podcast episodes for here…but for Guardians as well. Thank you for your understanding. Peace out
I’ve been doing really well the last few days. TesFest is gearing up and I’ve been doing my volunteer director duties every day now for a few weeks. I’m pretty proud of how it’s coming together. I’ve almost got all the volunteers we need…but not totally yet! Last night I decided (since I was still awake and jazzed about the stuff I was doing) to make a promo for TESFest and I LOVE how it turned out! Listen here!!
I also got another PowerInPractice Episode up.
I’ve gotten all the voices cast for the 1st Chapter and I’m hoping to record it tonight or tomorrow then piece it together. I’m very excited about it all.
I also learned how to make databases and transfer them and whole sites from one server to the other. They haven’t all be flawless transitions but at least 2 of them are ….mostly working. LOL
But hey, I consider myself doing damn fine work considering I’ve been up since yesterday afternoon with a 2 hour nap!
Take that! ::does the Oliva Munn up yours dance::
This book is not comforting; it does not reassure. It does not teach anything a decent person needs to know. It is a book about BDSM, but it will teach you nothing about tying knots, swinging floggers or spanking. It does not comfort, it does not attempt to reach the vanilla public.
This book addresses control, it addresses change. The recreational uses of humiliation, conditioning, psychological torture, hypnotism and interrogation techniques are explored and laid bare, broken into usable steps and understandable, applicable concepts. It is a workshop of ruin, the tools necessary to cement lasting alteration and unforgettable experiences for those few who truly crave them.
From The Forked Tongue:
“This is not a 101 or “BDSM for everyoneâ€. Actually, this is not really for anyone.
Most of the things that are in this book I cannot sanction anyone doing to anyone else. Except, of course, that we do, and we will, and we want to. So here are tools to do them well, to do them ethically, and to enact your own, terrible sacraments. We seek to ascend, so we descend.
I called this book a mixed message, a perverse architecture, and so it is. The keystone of this edifice is inscribed with the heart of all these chapters, these words cut at cross-purpose:
“Here is something you should never do to anyone.
And here is exactly how to do it to someone you care about.â€
(back cover text)
Available as of TES Fest, July 4, and through online book retail
I didn’t origionally like Danity Kane when they came out but I’m totally in love with their latest song. I love the harmony and well they look pretty damn hot in it too.
Enjoy
Yeah Yeah…I know. Bad kimi. I haven’t updated in a long time. But I HAVE been busy and been working, not just hiding in a hole. I’ve been doing a lot of TesFest planning and we are still looking for volunteers so if you want to get into TesFest for free (minus the hotel) hit me up and I’ll schedule for 12 hours of fun filled work among wacky kinky people!
I’m also gearing up to release my first chapter of Guardians as well as the release of the website to host it. www.guardiansnovel.com will be set up soon and I’m hoping for a June 10th release date on Chapter 1.
Other then that, I’m doing ok. The working out is going slow. Obviously it’s not as easy as I wanted it to be but I’m working on it. Trying to get ready for TesFest and then DragonCon on that. Meds are doing ok but I have had some ups and downs on depression and anxiety. Dealing as always. The headaches have been a bit of a bitch though.
We got a new bed cause the other one was pretty much dead so it’s alot like sleeping in the Princess and the Pea. Cool…but a little less comfy. We need one of those HUGE gooose down matresses to cover the bed. That would rock.
Ok….I was going to put in a video from youtube but they are being slow as crap so you’ll have to wait until next time.
I had a really great day! I had so much energy. Sometimes I think I go thru cycles where I need a lot of sleep and then I get a ton of energy for several days. Needing the sleep is good cause it feels good to sleep but bad cause it means I’m asleep and therefore can’t do work. Being awake and having energy kicks ass cause I’m usually go go go and get a lot of stuff done!
So last night I went to lay down and couldn’t sleep. So I got back up, went downstairs and made chocolate covered strawberries. I stayed up more and did email and finished the first chapter of Guardians that I’m going to podcast over at Tale Chasing. I also decided I"m going to run a contest. You can find details here!
I had planned to do a podcast today (which I plan on actually doing tomorrow) but I saved it by recording two other podcasts that aren’t mine! Today was my first Interview of me!! You can hear it here. It’s actually run by one of my old KD/G2 fans. I’m so glad I’m still friends with my old peeps. The second half is NWS as it deals with my alternative lifestyle. So…keep that in mind.
I’m also linking to the first episode of the new show I am apparently a co-host of now. I was talking to a guy who I am on the forums with over at Darker Projects. He asked if anyone was going to DragonCon and I said yes. I think he thinks I know more people then I actually do but…lol. Anyway, he wanted to start his own podcast and had the idea of a geek discussion podcast and asked me to be on. We went from there to me as a co-host. Honestly, I’m happy to do it for a few reasons but I’ll have to tell him that I’m not going to be able to do much more then be on the show and maybe…maybe help with a little linking now and then. I’m so swamped with my work for Daddy, TesFest, my podcast, my novel, my contacts, my working out, DragonCon, etc. that I so don’t have the time. The show is called "Shooting the Bull" So feel free to head over and take a listen. If it goes the way we think…it might be a once a week or one every other week cast. I won’t be putting the episodes in my own blog. So subscribe over there if you care.
But you’d know that if you also read my TaleChasing.com site. Only joking. I know I’ve ignored KD but it wasn’t on purpose. I just didn’t think you all wanted redundant posts and all the cool stuff that’s been happening has been over at TC.
I’m getting really close to releasing my first chapter of my podcast novel, Guardians. I have another interview that should be up by tonight and several more in the can to edit. I have quite a few great casts planned to record and I’m still doing voice overs for people. I also had a great artist create a cover for my book. I’ll post it along with a link to the first chapter when it is up.
I’m getting things set for TesFest. I’m still looking for volunteers to fill a bunch of hours. It looks like I’m going to have my hands full for the event though because I’ll be taking care of Volunteers and helping run Security. I’m not planning on much sleep.
Things seem to be going ok relationship wise. I wish there was more time for talks but everyone around here has their own issues they are dealing with. Such is life.
In prep for >DCon and >TesFest I’m getting serious about weight loss. I’ve worked out regularly this week and hope to make it a habit. I’m also trying to eat correctly. Except for yesterday when I had a mini coke I haven’t been drinking soda and I’ve been staying away from candy. I’m still working on the carbs thing.
I keep people pretty updated on Twitter so if you are missing me come find me there. >KimiDreams is my name.
Has been going on and I’ll post an update soon I promise. But just to give you perspective on exactly how much has changed…these pictures of Sassy, my mom’s “puppy” will help get an idea. The first is from early Feb. The biggest was yesterday.
I hope I don’t jinx myself but I’ve really been enjoying sharing all the cool stuff happening to me rather then spouting misery and depression. So here’s a few new things that are cool in my world.
I finally figured out how to plot and have 3/4th of my scene cards done for my book. The podcast I just released on Tale Chasing documents my process and if I say so myself…it almost sounds like I’m a professional writer detailing their method.
I auditioned for another audio fiction project and received a recurring role. When it goes live I’ll post the link so you can listen.
I got my second email asking if I would be interested in interviewing them and got an ARC to help me prepare it.
I heard back from someone I pitched a proposal to and got a positive response. We’re still working out deets but if it goes through I think it’s a really big honor and am excited to be a part of it.
And Seth Harwood sent me a copy of the SF Chronicle so I can see my comment, name, and site in print!! It’s beautiful. Makes me wonder where I put all those articles from my G2 days. (Thanks again Seth)
I held a Twitter poll today for my coming book and got over 20 responses from people who answered positively about reading/listening to my project. I also got a chat message today from someone very cool checking on me to see if I was writing. The second they spent to see how I was doing was very encouraging and appreciated.
So daddy calls me over and shows me this link (not work safe)….I am decidedly old. My first thought after seeing this girl who is apparently stalking some guy, and thinks she’s going to talk him into being with her by stripping in the video is…she is going to want to kill herself when she’s older.
She’s going to look back on that video, the fact that it’s so popular that it’s got people doing “remixes” of it and transcripts of the damn thing and go “what the flip was on my mind” then plot the ways she can bury her head in the sand. Why do I know? Because I have done things in my past (not anything near like this) but I look back at them and go “I can’t believe I did that…what was I thinking? How hard were people laughing at me because I did it? What must they think of me?? Aaaaahhhhh!!!!!” And this screams those things all over.
But you can’t tell a teenager that. To her and I’m sure other teens…this looks like a brilliant way to proclaim your love or desire for someone. Thank god for the internet (sarcasm). So…I’m old. Just thought I’d tell ya.
And yes…I know I am perpetuating her demise but being another person who’s linking to her…but she should of thought of that before she did the damn thing!
P.S…..I got another recurring role in an upcoming Audio Drama. I’ll post the link when it goes live.
Thank you for your understanding. Peace out
