Dear Diary

A 3682-post collection

Sunday, Chocolate Egg Day

I did the "egg salad" gag where I collected all the fun-sized Easter eggs into a bowl for communal snacking.

Mayhem had some. I had a sampler. Miss Chaos has yet to awaken and scoff. So I'm holding back.

The Archive is streaming as I type and the Promptcast will be streaming today. So most of my time will be absorbed in stream stuff.

I may or may not be working on writing while stuff goes on.

Thanks to holidays, we won't be shopping until mid-week, so that promises to be some kind of fun. Keeping track of what we need and where I need to go so I can take the least-cost path through hither and yon.

At least I have some form of income to see us through the crisis era.

Let's see what and when things can get done.

Saturday, Caught Up?

I got the Promptcast story done. I got the Archive thing done for the prompt Hey, Yo, I'm a [BLANK].

Yay.

I have one more day until I have one more prompt to work with for a thing. Yay.

Given the situations happening all over everywhere, my PLNs remain minimalistic for travel, same with shopping. Keep it sane. Keep it in budget. Hope I can get all the shit together and have money.

Hahaha I am so funny sometimes.

I can hope.

Friday, Erastide Looms

As the great Bullwinkle J. Moose once said: This time for sure!

I am going to work on the Archive prompt today.

I have a good idea, I have a decent starting line. I have an immense capacity for self distraction...

And therein lies the rub.

I have PLNs and it's up to me to see them through.

I shall endeavour after I ice my silly sore ankle again.

Thursday, Continuing the Nonse

I owe my Patrons a couple of things, so I shall get on with posting those before I settle down and get on with today's tale.

Also in my agenda - writing the thing for the Archive. But that has extra time to percolate, so my Patrons are likely to see it after the weekend.

And that's okay.

Sometimes, things take time.

I got a solid start on the next chapter of ADT, and debatably have PLNs to stick in an extended

Odinsday, Catching Down

It's April 1 and my PLNs to lock in and focus have been blown to smithereens by a completely forgotten appointment to figure out what the heck was going on with the sullage system. Turns out the aerator wasn't and that's going to cost me close to half a grand.

...yaaaaayyyy...

I'll figure out a way to wrangle that.

I don't have very many plns today other than locking in and getting shit done. Which also includes walking Miss Chaos through the

Tuesday, Patreon and The Sads

Adapting got its fifth rejection this morning.

Sigh.

I'm planning to send it to the Promptcast crew for inspection to see what it needs, or where it could go for a proper audience. I used to believe that this thing was the perfect intro to the Amalgam Universe. It still could be.

I just don't know any more.

So alongside my hope leaving my body, I have stuff to do today. Including locking in and writing the thing for the Promptcast, the

Monday, Round Round Run Around...

Today's PLN:

  • Get Chaos' Centrelink horseshit sorted
  • Get the shopping done
  • Get the story done for today
  • Get the story done for the Promptcast
  • Get the story done for the Archive

I am fully prepared to have only one of those accomplished.

If there's a twofer tomorrow, you'll know I just got exhausted by the first thing on my list. Or maybe the first two.

I shall try my best, regardless.

Centrelink should be open. I am packing my lappy just in

Sunday, Streams and Stories

The Archive's not streaming today because presenter illness. Such fun.

Adapting is off on its last chance to gain an agent before I throw it at the Promptcast to see what it needs.

Even if it needs to be taken out behind the chemical shed.

I used to Believe in that book. Sigh. I've been sitting on it way too long and got too despondent about getting it out into the world. Past me was such a dreamer.

Fuck, I'm still a

Saturday, Embuggerances

At least I got my hair washed. Yay. As for the downside...

Adapting got rejected. Centrelink is shut on the weekends. And Pippi got out into the front room and decided to be a snugglebug all over my freshly-washed hair. It was wound up in alligator clips, but still...

Of all the nonsense, the cat thing is the least irritating.

...just now found out I accidentally missed MeMum's proof of life emails twice. Fuck My Life.

I don't even know how that

Friday, Extended Unfucking

I shall be attempting to do a very fast story today. All so I can hold Chaos' hand and try to get her into the process of getting the disability pension. Which is going to take five-freaking-ever but we WILL get there. So help me.

I'll be getting story done in between helping with the centrelink mess. So far, it's been finding the right links and getting the process done so that we can start the NEXT process.

The current process is

Thursday, Gradual Unbuggering

I think I forgot to advertise the weekly blog, yesterday. I can get onto that today.

Adapting got the boot yesterday, so now I'm flinging that at another agent before I get a rattle on with other business.

Which apparently includes writing this blog entry.

Nevertheless, Adapting is away again and I am hoping for the best. One more round and I throw it at the writing group to see (a) what it needs, (b) where I could put it, and (3)

Wednesday, SNAFU Time

I was planning on a nice peaceful day at home, making posts and writing nonsense. Alas, my main computer [with all the important Patreon stuff on it] decided it was going to deadscreen on me and now I am in a pickle.

I had audio recordings to post on Patreon. I had the Promptcast entry for my sponsors to enjoy. I even had another chapter of A Devil's Tale ready to enthrall.

I can only access some of that via my lappy.

Tuesday, Physio, Bread, and Locking in

I finished a chapter! Huzzah!

Ten of those fuckers remain before I can take an extended holiday from writing on a professional basis. Well. At least writing an entire freaking BOOK.

I need a holiday for sure.

What I really need is for the stress to go away so I can firkin RELAX for a gorram change.

I have physio today. I have bread in progress and the kids on call for helping with that. I have a little less than 2K

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

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
