Realm of the InterNutter

Thoughts, stories and ideas.

Monday, Writing Group Therapy, Bread, and Shopping

I'm 1/5th of the way through the word count for the promptcast. I may or may not get any unprompted writing done because I am not feeling it today.

Maybe I need a bitty break from the push.

I have been writing in ADT at least once a day and working on fanfic in between. I have a goal to reach with the Promptcast and another week with the Archive. I have the ability to take a break. And I should do that for my own mental health.

I got a real Leyland's tour this week. It's going to be painful because (1) Petrol crisis (2) STILL restocking from running low on everything (3) High potential for Out Of Money Error.

Sticking to the things we need and hoping that I have enough for that.

And I need to co-ordinate stuff for the sullage system so the council. Hooray...

What a lovely day for a burnout.

Challenge #04830-M081: Relative Barbarianism

DRIL: "issuing correction on a previous post of mine, regarding the terror group ISIL. you do not, under any circumstances, "gotta hand it to them" -- Deathshead419

[AN: Obviously not using those organisations for the purposes of FICTION because you just don't mess with that]

You'd think the Elves had learned from the first time they sparked hostility from nomadic people. They're slow to take in lessons from life, as they are slow to do many things. A cultural obsession with perfection

Sunday, Streaming Stuff and PLNs

It's shopping day tomorrow. It's also the day of the backup writing group and I need to make bread.

It's going to be a busy day.

Today is busy in an entirely different direction because I have been blessed with the power of the Mods and I need to use it responsibly as I monitor the chat for the Promptcast.

I mean, I could start bread today, but that also means double bread tomorrow. And starting it on Tuesday means at least

Challenge #04829-M080: Work/Play Balance

A youngster sneaks up behind "Dex" and pokes his side and says "tag, you're it!" and runs off giggling. He and his friends were helping a renovation project the children's hospital had badly needed. -- The New Guy

When is a king not a king? When he's not doing the king's job. Dex, like his father before him, had his sleeves rolled up to help out with something that needed to be done. It was better than sitting in his office and

Saturday, Shit Sorting Session (Extended)

I got shit sorted this morning! I fed the starter, cleaned my humidifier [I didn't know it needed to be cleaned when fed filtered water whatevs] remembered the catbox in the laundry and helped a friend check over a story they were doing for a thing.

I even remembered to email MeMum. Yay.

This is not a direct result of having a "get outta bed" alarm, but rather my brain misfiring and thinking I had one for today. No! I turned that

Challenge #04828-M079: A Final Sacrifice

A God of Light, oddly allied with Mistress Dark for they knew she was not, in fact, a dark god but a god of balance and was of the few truly neutral ones, went to the isle where a dark god dredged from the sea resided. Through sheer effort they stole power away from the dark god through one command. "No longer give children's hearts. Starve the dark one, I will show you how to protect yourselves, properly." -- Anon Guest

Friday, Maybe Audio Today?

It's not looking good, but I can certainly try. I spent most of this morning already pre-occupied with staff business for the Promptcast. As for yesterday's mystery bitey... it was likely a wasp. With government-outlined medical care, the site has stopped hurting and I'm no longer bothered by the dang thing.

I need to figure out what paperwork we need to get Miss Chaos onto the disability pension. Then hunt down that shit.

I also need to get a wriggle on with

Challenge #04827-M078: Know Thy Enemy

Tears fell from the shackles of the young man as he looked up to the so-called “sages.” Fury ignited in his heart as he was flooded with muscle memories of a battle never fought. “No more Samsara cycles. I have my memory, my hatred, their promises…” Like a war-torn soldier, he readied himself. “This time don’t bother praying, I am here to kill your god.” -- Anon Guest

Once in a great while, perhaps every century or so, someone thinks that

Thursday, Recording Today?

It's 11AM and I just got around to sitting down to write this, so my PLN to record some chapters for Adorable might well be up in the air.

I'll see how I go.

My PLNs got disrupted at breakfast with a visit from the Council because my sullage system was blinking. Detour to show them where the hell the sullage sprinklers were.

I'm going to have to give my mower guy care instructions.

And to top it all off, while I

Challenge #04826-M077: Survival Made EZ

We rescued two strangers who'd been badly beaten. We saved them, though when awake, something about them scared us, but we couldn't figure out why. When our world began to change, get cleaner, and we could get food and medicine easier, we found out who they were, when they came to talk to us after.

Wednesday, Proceeding Carefully

Among my usual many other things, I plan to help Miss Chaos recover her MyGov account now that I've done the same for mine. It's a pain in the bum, but it can be done. Huzzah.

The rant shall be done, then unriddling Chaos' account, then the daily tale.

Today's good news is that Tumblr undid a massively unpopular change to their platform. The people spoke in a way that made them listen and the staff rolled that the heck back.

Challenge #04825-M076: Cold Comfort

The god was not angry at Wraithvine and the child, but it was angry. A cold anger of betrayal. It was also angry a child had been used. The cold spurred them on, but while it could, it did not freeze them, and did not make the child AS cold. Its curse would last until its eye was restored, it was restored to where it came from, its betrayers were delt with, and justice was served. Which order? Who knew?

Tuesday, Patreon and Further PLNs

So much to do, so little organisation. I let time slip away from me because stretches, ankle, breakfast, and attempting to unfuck various shit on my desktop.

Which made MeMum mad at me. My bad. I am very foggy today.

Not helped by the fact that I have been dragging my feet about: Re-pitching Adapting again, recording more chapters for Adorable, and getting on with the business of today. Which also includes unfucking Miss Chaos' MyGov stuff.

Might have to actually phone

Challenge #04824-M075: Seems Harmless Enough

Young Ammolite lived with hir human parents, but also with hir fellow kobolds in hir family. The home had been modified to have a very well reinforced tunnel that went from the home to the larger underground warren. The humans were so well integrated in with the warren, then even more new hatchlings treated them as beloved relatives.

There's a million ways to have a family. This one was two Humans and the

Monday, Backup Reads and Shopping

I have bread in the fridge. I have a limited supply of soup on the cooktop because yesterday was a 24-hour Lurgi... and Chaos has been helping herself to the soup.

Hopefully I don't get another Lurgi whilst out shopping. But I have the payola to lay in a supply of other soups just in case.
Huzzah.

It's a bizarre bug. Beloved, Adorable, and I came down with it within 24 hours of each other and we haven't shared the same air
