I didn't get to the map yesterday, so I'm doing the map today. After I publish the daily tale, of course.
Which I wrote before doing today's blog. Whoops.
I'm also doing the thing for WritingWonders and covering stuff about Blorbo From My WIP.
It's fun.
Fingers crossed, I can get to starting Map 16.
Let's have a go.
He changed everything, for her. He went to B'Nar to have his appearance changed, for her. He got a different job to make her happy. He moved away from his home, for her. Then she said he wasn't enough, and left for another. He is going through intense therapy, because of her.
And she thinks she can just waltz back and get him to come back to her?
Her ways need to change, for HIM! -- Anon Guest
Of all the words

At least I wasn't phished in.
This week's Wordpress will be more of Kosh's fanficcy shenanigans, and I can tell you that there are VAST differences between the fanfic and the novel(s).
I suspect there will be fans going down that rabbit hole in depth when it's published. [gotta believe it WILL be published] That's going

On the planet, the men and children disappeared, the CEO's replaced them with AI workers.
On the planet, the AI began to fade away, the workers began to stop working.
The CEO's demanded their people return.
The living, now freed, individuals shouted back "Use your bootstraps!" -- Anon Guest
"Nobody ever handed me anything on a silver platter," said CEO Zalmoxis Morong as he plucked a petit four offered
Read more »Beloved came home in the wee small hours, and I had some aggressively intermittent sleep until like 7AM. By then, the heat was already into the day and I couldn't therefore get the catio cleaned up early.
Blargh.
Fingers crossed, this afternoon will be cool enough to allow me to do that.
If not, tomorrow morning will be the next bet.
Onwards to the Patreon posting and the story of the day.
Let's do this.

The other two humans do the same. Then, on the day of holiday, cook a large meal, carefully prepared, for everyone to enjoy together. -- Anon Guest
It was one of the humans' prettier holidays, they had to admit. The Ships' Human, Dzef, had spent most of hir time printing

"Do what?"
They look to the two vials in one hand, and two more in another.
"You know what."
"I want to know what'll happen."
Looks at the lack of safety gear.
"I WILL call your parentals!"
"Ok, ok..... I'll put the suit on first, sheesh!" -- Anon Guest
"What even are these?" asked Lab Tech Quinn as ze peered at the vials.
"Ordinary household chemicals," said Student Bop. In his favour, he began to shrink a little in
Read more »I've already done the Game Stream, and I'm watching Tale Foundry. I can't do my usual stunt of writing the next story in advance. Because the leads on the vote are tied.
So I shall spend the intervening minutes working on another chapter of A Devil's Tale because I need to have those to keep my Beloved happy. Well. I also want to have those. Because this whole book is fun.
For the second time, DungeonDraft crashed as I was trying to

To the humans, these creatures, Deathworlders like them, are so absolutely adorable it's almost painful! -- Anon Guest
They were called the Quetzaloq, and they were indeed feathered lizards. They met the Humans on a frosty world they were both looking at for resort capability. For an uncomfortable moment, ape met
Read more »I'm still super-tired from Parkrun today, and there is a TTRPG session tonight, followed by another one early in the morning.
I don't know if I can get today's tale out, since I need to catch some sleep. BUT... If not, tomorrow will be a twofer stream.
Wish me luck with that nonsense.
I think I'll need it.

[AN: Hollywood has mislead so many about what asteroid fields are like. So in order to enhance the reality of my imaginary future, I'm turning the obstacle course into a ships' graveyard]
Explaining the Manic Million to non-Humans was always the problem. Anything the Humans

Last time I tried fixing a map, the app crashed. I try again today.
I also aim to feed my starters, summarise a chapter, and tag a week of fic.
There will be Bikkie.
Tomorrow promises to be interesting, as the morning is full of Parkrun and the evening is

It was a common prank. First step was to have the common spell of Frosty Touch. Second step was to have at least one pail of water. The prankers chill the water until it was gelid. Then they picked
Read more »Beloved binged chapters right up to The Kiss(tm). Which means that there's VERY FEW chapters between where she's up to and where I'm writing.
So I really should hustle some more chapters.
BUT I also have to fix a dungeon map, tag a week for the app, summarise a chapter for the pitmad. And find a moment for myself to chill and enjoy stuff.
I'm feeling a little pressed right now.
But I know Beloved understands me and will ease off
Read more »A young goblin has a problem. Way too many of the dreams they have at night tend to come true. Especially the bad dreams. No one listens to a goblin's warnings, though. They end up asking for help. -- Anon Guest
Kosh didn't think much about it. The staff that did most of the work in the Trollhead Tavern had taken the broom from him so he could serve customers and bus tables. Honestly, he was just glad that the clientele didn't
