I'm making progress on my knee exercises. Slow, nonlinear progress, but progress all the same.
Currently enjoying breakfast and waiting for Mayhem to stir himself for the drive towards work.
Soon, the backup reads, the daily shenanigans, and getting the video ready to post because my stupid ass forgot to make it yesterday.
Doing what I can how I can and hoping to heck I have the spoons in order to do it.
...yay

As he looks down at the polished marble he notices something red, bloody footprints. A shiver runs down his spine as he slowly backs away but more crimson footprints appear moving toward his location. Maybe the entity didn’t notice him as he moved around but wherever he goes the footprints follow. Suddenly Kevin begins to giggle and the footprints stopped
I've been awake since 1AM but I haven't made anything unless I was icing my ankle.
On the plus side, I have been working on a potential Halloween story. Powers know what I'm going to do for a cover, but that's a problem for if it gets finished. For all I know, it might be out next year. September is dwindling away, after all.
I am reminding myself to be kind to me. If it gets done, it gets done. If not,

Now Markus is desperate to use his riches to make amends for his ill deeds. But is there really anything he can do to make up for all the bodies he’s helped to poison? -- Deathshead419

And I have to break every two hours to cool my ankle off.
At least I get to noodle around with fiction other than the daily offerings while that's going on.
It's slow, but I'm

Actors are a superstitious and cowardly lot. In a high-pressure environment where their means of continuing life and relative comfort depends entirely on a combination of extreme good fortunes, superstition is a natural reaction. Their practiced skills could fall victim to any little thing. A random
Read more »I have attempted knee stretchies. Or at least knee exercises. I'm sure some of them are going to work. Three to six months, the info says.
Icing my stupid ankle now takes at least half an hour because I have a third axis to chill it down. On the plus side, half an hour to work on various alternate projects.
On the minus side, more opportunity to space out and not do the regular offerings. I'm emotionally lagging on motivation, and pretty

Today, we will go through some of the weather phenomena found there, my own experience, and why it's absolutely essential to listen to your human guides when they tell you to get to shelter when it only looks like a few clouds are overhead.

I have Physio in a few minutes. Then a shopping trip.
When I get back, I'll get on with the palaver of all the things that must be done.
Including a LOT of reading because I have another five-chapter chunk to read for Adorable. Yay.
I need to bother them about file sharing again.
Updates as events warrant.

Everything was very plain, but very well loved. Horses safe in the barn, everyone spending time with the poor farmers, but this relaxing place, cramped as it was, was more peaceful that then strains of "upper crust" society at the Inns of the elite. -- Anon Guest

Which is a lie. I have finished up half a chapter of ADT, I've been working on some fun fiction this morning. And I'm reaching for motivation to start submitting books at people again, but it's the kind of work that makes my bones feel heavy and uuuuuurgh.
If I had an

The aftermath of the fight was to sooth the child, and teach the little thief some restraint, and let them know that, no matter what, they'll never NOT be loved as family.

This morning was a little on the rough side. Awake and productive at 1AM, unable to rest but sleepy by 3AM. Awake at some point after my morning alarm went off.
I'm determined to look after myself. Which can be a little bit of an emotional drag when I'd much

The problem is, they got caught in their own web, and now had to come clean.
Fortunately, people were merciful. No magic use except for healing spells for a month, and having to be on dishes-duty for a month. Could've been a lot worse. -- Anon Guest

Read more »I have a method(tm) for dealing with the ankle interruptions. I'm calling it "drips and drops" and it also deals with the fanficcery I've got running. When I go to ice my ankle, I put drips and drops of thoughts into each WIP I have on the burner.
It worked to get me half a chapter, last Friday. It worked to get several chunks into various fanfics. I have confidence that it can work today.
I've posted the video on Peertube
