I skip the Archive event streams, so I'm watching the Promptcast like a hawk.
In betwixt that, I'll be intermittently tapping away on today's tale. Chipping out words one letter at a time. Or something that feels like that.
Fingers crossed, the scuff shall be light to nonexistent. We can hope and pray.
I also have bread on, so I'm listening for the auto alarms. Just the usual juggling nonsense at any given minute. Same ol' same ol'.
Story whenever I can wrangle that noise.
I'm not self-maintaining today. I dunno if it's depression or some other variety of emotional disregulation. I just want to be a slob, today.
With good fortune, I'll be back on an even keel tomorrow.
B'Nar got rejected this morning. Unrelated to the Goblining going on. So that's another downer in my day. Huzzah.
I hope to lock in and get the story done soon, but I'm also wrangling bread, so there's some fun times going. I may or may not have
Read more »I'm still trying to connect to the printer. My varying brute force attempts keep splattering against a brick wall where the tech just decides it doesn't like me.
I'm trying two 'attacks' - manually trying to connect via my compy's Bluetooth capability, and connecting the printer to the WiFi. Neither of them are working, but I'm trying.
Maybe my lovelies will have an answer about that. Maybe I'll have my ongoing pattern of luck with this shit.
So far, it's the latter.
Read more »I can hope I have some time to chillax. The Leyland's tour yesterday did horrible things to my left foot so I am taking things gently and getting around with my support staff.
A literal staff to support me. AKA a broom handle with a tennis ball added to the floor end.
I stayed up last night to finish reading Project Hail Mary and finished the review pretty darn close to midnight. It's a bloody miracle I woke up at my alarm
Read more »I have three locations to visit, this week. I'll be shopping with a calculator to make sure I remain under or at budget.
Not helped by the fact that we need to get a printer in order to complete Miss Chaos' red tape completed. At least I have some savings to take care of that part. Enough to cover it and a bit more.
[Not much of a bit, but a bit nonetheless]
I keep forgetting it's Wednesday and not Monday, which
Read more »I would very much like to finish up the Promptcast thing for the Patrons today. I have five chapters to read, which can also go up on there today. The issue?
I have to get that shit done.
Procrastination is my copilot.
So my PLN is to do the recordings, finish the Promptcast thing, and get today's offerings both done and up. Probably in that order.
Huzzah.
Very soon.
Read more »The Archive will be sharing stories with each other this morning. I have five more chapters to read for Adorable.
...eight more to go on the WIP.
Eep.
I'm not leaving the house until Wednesday and PLN to get a cheap laser printer alongside all the other nonsense we're acquiring that day. We do need to print documents from time to time. And a laser printer promises (so far) to be the least continuing trouble when operating under irregular use. And it
Read more »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
Read more »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.
Read more »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.
Read more »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
Read more »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
Read more »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

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
Read more »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
