Realm of the InterNutter

Thoughts, stories and ideas.

Wednesday, Shopping and Other PLNs

We're almost out of eggs. We're certainly out of bacon. I need flour and things because the kids are tearing through my bread.

So that's part of today's agenda.

I have to think up what I'm ranting about today.

I'm reviewing Archive tales before the time comes to launch on the Leyland's tour. Just so I can get my points in to be sure I have a chance to get read.

And I'm keeping track of my words now to see how firkin much I write on the daily.

Maybe I'll end up writing about how much I surprised myself.

Challenge #04713-L329: Unseen Miracles

A farmer asks Wraithvine and Birbrid to come fishing with him. He needs a few more hands to pull in the nets as he's stocking up for winter. Crops are almost harvested, and he'd need help with that as well. He'd usually have help from his sons, but many have caught very bad colds, and the season for snows is fast approaching. -- Anon Guest

The autumnal weather should have been frightful. There should have been strong winds, threatening storms, and an

Tuesday, Patreon and Writing PLNs

I did my video prep before commencing, and I already did some 1AM writing because I have once again fucked up my sleep schedule.

At least I got a chapter finished. Twenty-six chapters to go.

I got some things to share with my Patrons, yay.

But first, I need to make one more thing to entertain my Patrons with, and that shall be the Podcast prompt. Since I still can't fucking figure out the Archive prompt. There's still time. I will get

Challenge #04712-L328: Guided Experience

Jay and Sunshine looked upon the shocked soldier who had made their first kill on the battlefield.

"The first one is always the loudest in your mind. They get quieter, but never let them go completely silent. Once that happens, you become like us." -- Anon Guest

[AN: War and armies aren't always necessary and do not mesh well with Pax Humanis. This has to happen in association with Greater Deregulation]

They called it a Double Blade Attack. One, the rapier, an

Monday, Shrink Day and Other Things(?)

I have now signed on to a word count tracker, so every word I put down that isn't chat between pals is going to get counted.

I have no idea if there's going to be a read-in today. We have three weeks to work on the prompt in the Archive and I still have no clue what I'm doing with it.

I will either get an idea or not. I can hope that I do.

In the meantime, I have

Challenge #04711-L327: Patience of the Doctor

They called me freak and fled. I realized, it was not prejudice, it was fear. They constantly had bloody noses, and not from being struck. I had no choice, I gently sedated them and checked them. It's good I did, they were not long for this world. Now, they will be able to grow up into an adult. -- Anon Guest

[AN: This prompt was rearranged from being freeform poetry for space reasons.]

Life should never have settled in this place, but

Sunday, Streams and Shenanigans

I am watching the Archive stream, and as soon as the Promptcast one begins, I'll be over there to see how they react to the snippet I managed to get.

I'm evil that way.

I have a video to arrange for tomorrow, the story to write for today, and some very shiny story that I'm basically writing for a friend.

They're throwing art at me. How could I resist?

I shall attempt to focus on the day's tale. And then get on

Challenge #04710-L326: Pray Responsibly

The last, aged priest of a God is searching for an apprentice to take on the scriptures and learn the proper rites before it becomes nothing but a curiosity for scholars rather than a living, breathing practice linking people over millennia. -- Deathshead419

Karkaul, High Priest of the Volcano God, was looking for an orphan, an unwanted child, or one in bad circumstances to take under her wing. The greys of age were already showing on her temples. She needed the time

Saturday, Taking it Easy? Please?

I am aiming to get more hours of free time, today. BUT the other collab work has apparently revived, so I'll be keeping an eye out on that particular channel.

...and I have shiny, shiny fanfics whimpering for my attention.

We'll see how I go.

Shopping, yesterday, wrecked my ankle but good. I needed the cane and extra ice time just to shamble around and finish the rest of my appointed tasks.

At least we have bread now, and the fam are

Challenge #04709-L325: Difficult History

Vholno, son of a traveling bard, always thought he was a normal human boy born to a wandering man. But when patches of green appeared on his skin, his father told him that he was born of a liaison with a dryad. Now Vholno ventures deep into the wilds in search of his mother and what fate awaits the son of the forest. -- Deathshead419

Dad had taught the goat to dance for their traveling

Friday, Mor Rest Pls

I have to go shopping -_-

Which means I have to wear clothes suitable for public view. I have to go place and get thing. BUT there's a couple of hours before I go do that, so I shall attempt to get the offerings out of the way.

It's going to be expensive, this week. On the other hand, I did wait until payday to go and do this.

Fingers crossed, it holds.

I'd like to be able to save again.

Thursday, Attempt at Rest

I'm not good at making time off. Despite my plans to take things easier: I have a video to arrange, reviews to do, and the mandatory offerings.

No pressure.

Only the reviews help my collab partner increase their odds of getting on the stream. The videos increase my odds of people enjoying my stuff and journeying down the rabbit hole about me, and the offerings increase the chances of gaining a vocal fandom.

They're all good things to aim for.

And so

Challenge #04707-L323: Money Makes Me Talk

The Thief Oxisa has been hired to steal the crown jewels of the Kordisce Kingdom. Only, the Kordisce has become a republic and the new government hopes to put those treasures in a museum. Oh well, so long as Oxisa’s fee is paid, she doesn’t care. Caring about politics is a great way for a thief to make a fatal mistake. -- Deathshead419

Everything is money, when you get down to the root of it. Power? Money. Property? Money. Even

Wednesday, Rants and Overreach

I'm getting things done by slow degrees. I'm trying to remain focussed on the things that need doing, but getting distracted by the things I'm having fun doing.

Same old same old.

Remembered the email system with MeMum. Forgor I was driving Mayhem to work this morning.

I'm sure it's stress.

I have the flash fiction to write today, the Archive fic to at least try to concoct, and a rant about something to think up and consequently write.

And I am
