Realm of the InterNutter

Thoughts, stories and ideas.

Monday, Shopping Expedition and Backup Reads

I need to get stuff and things, and I am very glad I was able to scare up some extra money from my writing to afford it.

Kitty cats gotta eat, and my lovelies don't like going any further than the local Woolies. I also need my own supplies of whatnot.

I have physio tomorrow, but some supplies are verging on nonexistent, so it's two trips for me over different days.

My aim today, apart from the daily tale, is five hundred words into the Promptcast entry and a solid attempt at finishing off a chapter I started yesterday.

That is, presuming I don't melt. Because the gentle rains that have cooled the morning have decided to fuck off and turn the day into a fucking sauna. Huzzah. Not.

Thank grop I washed my hair and have something to help me keep cool today.

Story when I can wrangle the spoons.

Challenge #05068-M319: Establishment of Trust

This small band of human adventurers had a large group of Teufellen that followed them. Some assumed these hellkin were sneaking behind them to hunt them for wrongdoings. But when night came, the two groups came together to eat, play cards, and draw straws as to which group played "bodyguard" the next day. -- BKF

"Dirin?" whispered Bar. "We're being followed."

"You only noticed them now?" murmured Lett. "They've been skirting around us since half-morning." Lett was a Ranger, and didn't hold

Sunday, Stream Shenanigans and Progress.

I'm rewriting another chapter today. Rearranging events so that I can fit more shenanigans in. The aura of Hellkin hatred needs more background radiation. Microaggressions, dogwhistles, chafing. That sort of thing.

And I have to wash the acidic sweat residue and epithelials off my sandals at some point. Which is interesting because I need my sandals to stand and walk.

I will figure something out.

The temperature has risen in the Nerd Cave and it promises to get nastier as time goes

Challenge #05067-M318: Redemption in Progress

They collapsed at the threshold of the building burning with fever of illness. The one being made to pay penance for their arrogance was made to care for this poor, bedraggled, individual, and it was far from easy. But when the fever broke and health began to return, the arrogant one truly understood the benefits of kindness over greed.

Saturday, Promptcast Stream, NaNo Writing and Nonsense

I'm rewriting a chapter this morning. And if the Promptcast is doing Booked For Friday, then moderating that. It's already 27 Celcius in the Nerd Cave [82 in Freedom Units] so I am most likely to flake the fuck out until the day cools off again.

I did finish another chapter so as soon as I am capable, I shall update my Patreon and write my tale.

The weather here hurts.

Challenge #05066-M317: The Marks Remain

An adult kobold in the later half of their life. They met Wraithvine, Bibrid, and the children. "I recognize you. My previous life before this. I was a baby and I rescued your hat. I died when I was a hundred and five, but I never forgot the funny elf with the fluffy cat and warm house that kept the storm out."

Ereshkygal and Shai both have plans for mortal souls. Immortal ones, too,

Friday, Promptcast Meeting, Progress, and Patreon

I was up at 1AM again this morning, so I have at least half a new chapter of ADT done and dusted. The Promptcast crew are meeting today (I think) so I'm keeping an eye open on the Discord.

I have one story to write, and hope to finish the chapter I started before I melt.

The NaNo motivation has me finishing so many chapters in the rewrite. I have trouble remembering to update my Patreon. Sorry about that, but I am

Challenge #05065-M316: Checking In

'Mama Bear' visited the ones who'd saved her from the fire, and she later saved from the falling scaffold. She brought them sweet gifts for their families and the warm kindness she had for those she protected. A killer, after all, could also have a gentle heart for those she cared for.

Bear returned to Frop's district with a large basket of fruit and assorted Havenworlder-friendly treats. She took one look at Frop's expression,

Thursday, Let's Get Shit Done

The weather promises to be nasty, but there is a hope of rain to take the edge of the worst of it. I am aiming to get the story done.

I skipped out on editing ADT yesterday, but I am submitting a potential excerpt for ADT and I was editing that yesterday, so I am counting that for my non-NaNoWriMo.

...which reminds me, I need to get rattling on the work on a closer chapter than the one I submitted for the

Challenge #05064-M315: The Company of Predators

They knelt down and asked Mr. Sunshine to marry them. He placed a hand on their shoulder, gently turned them down, then drugged them so they could get therapy for the torments his targets had inflicted. -- BKF

Mr. Sunshine had seen a lot of things in his time. He had seen depravities from subtle to gross. He had seen victims of his victims fall weeping to the ground in gratitude. He'd seen a lot of them scramble screaming for the safety

Challenge #05063-M314: Change Like...

"I... I can't.. breathe... I'm scared...."/ "It's an asthma attack, they're getting your medicine hold on, calm down, I'm not leaving your side." -- BKF

They told Rinu that ze had a delicate constitution. In the wrong weather, or when encountering the wrong substances, air was a struggle to obtain. Hir life diminished to tents of steam, foul-smelling concoctions, and nasty medicine. Followed closely by equal foulness coming out of hir in the midst of unstoppable, wracking coughs.

As the only heir

Wednesday, Catching Up I Hope

I have: editing this morning, a team meeting later on, a twofer to file, and a shrink sesh in the afternoon, AND a parcel to pick up later in the day.

AND I should do something for Weird Writer Wednesday.

I am BUSY-busy.

Plus the temperature will be soaring to the thirties Celcius [that's late eighties, early nineties in Freedom Units] so it also promises to be a bit of a slog.

I am, naturally, trying my very best.

This isn't

Tuesday, I'm Watching Wildwood!

So for that reason, I caught up on my Patreon yesterday, and am committing to putting in 2K words for Promptcast as my major effort later today.

I'm also declaring a cheat day because it's a day out with the babes. Yes, I will be logging my food. But I shall also encourage my darlings to stop in at Golden Circle Factory Outlet for the cheapest of nomnoms in the cinema.

Best to shave those pennies where and how we can. Because

Challenge #05062-M313: Dread Prophecy

The darkest demons of the world have tried time and again to stop THIS demon from awakening from their enchanted slumber. A King, a loving kiss, a shadow that brings light. Another demon defeated in its attempt to claim the head of a demon who made a pact with the gods, the sleeping one waits for a pure soul to enhance and awaken more light.

Monday, Upcoming PLNs

The AMitA group has backup reads and I am queueing up crew chapters for review by the group. I have finished listening to Neil Newbon reading glorified fanfic the Astarion book endorsed by WotC. As far as fanfic goes - could have used a fact checker and some beta'ing. The author forgot Astarion doesn't have a heartbeat more than once. And may have fluffed the lore/continuity of canon events.

It's fanfic. R. Kingfisher could have painted Astarion purple if they wanted
