Don't expect a lot out of me, today.
I think I might write my tale and take a nap. [And probably play more Dressmaker when I wake up]
I might take a nap and then write the daily tale.
I might write half now and finish it later
I could have a book page from Ingram, but it costs $7USD a month and I don't have that reliable an income yet [Still paper-chasing for the Disability Pension] so that one has to wait. Nevertheless, Not With a Bang is available in all good e-bookstores everywhere Ingram Spark chooses to advertise.
[Shown here: The cover of Not With a Bang featuring a man looking over a ruined flatiron building while the rest of New York is covered in Kudzu]
Look for
Read more »I just have a few more steps before putting Not With a Bang out there. A little bit of "thanks for reading" at the back of the book. Assigning an ISBN, and looking into the print version while I'm there.
Not a lot to do, and I should stop procrastinating on that.
The Promptcast is having an early stream today. I'm also treating my stupid fucking ankle and making some dough that I'll be baking tomorrow.
I never fucking stop, do I?
Read more »The Weird Writer Wednesday is out in the universe. I have completed the Promptcast thing, and sent it off.
I finally got the cover art ready to roll, so now it's a question of working around my various editor program's quirks to get a legible copy into LibreOffice. For example: Copying from Ellipsus directly into LibreOffice will give me GREEN TEXT where the italics are For Some Fucked Up Reason... so I had to copy it into GoogDocs, copy from Googdocs, and

I shall get rattling on today's tale and the Promptcast entry anon.
I'll definitely be treating my stupid fucking ankle today. I have no idea why I didn't do it yesterday other than inconvenience.
I can tell you right now that the pain from skipping treatment is worse than the inconvenience
Read more »I have SO MUCH writing to do today. For the Promptcast newsletter, for the Promptcast, for you, my lovely viewers. And I still have to treat my ankles and work on the dingdang book cover.
...and I plan on trying to enlist the writers on Tumblr later today.
I'm doing my best to get as many words as possible towards that 1 million total.
It's nasty hot, but I also have my post-shopping ice cream to keep me cool enough. And a
Read more »The Promptcast is streaming soon. I shall be moderating as always.
The story will be occurring after that.
My ankle hates me, and treatment takes time away from moderating. Fortunately, I have various means of easing the hatred.
I'm going to have to do a little bit of shopping tomorrow. Nothing huge. Just quality of life things. So therefore nothing overtly expensive.
I am almost-nearly done with the cover. I need to do a bit of precision shading. And then it's title
Read more »The Promptcast has interviews today. If I treat my stupid fucking ankle when the notice goes out, I won't need to treat it again until after the stream is done.
We've figured out a way where I don't need anyone's help to do the hot/cold pack swap. Huzzah?
I shall be working on leaf rendering while treating my stupid fucking ankle. Which will be for roughly ten minute sprints at two hour intervals.
So far, so good.
We did just have
Read more »I only got a few more leaves rendered, yesterday. My ankle firkin hates me. I forgor to write anything for Weird Writer Wednesday, boo and hiss.
And I need to find a handful of minutes to talk to my lovelies about treating my stupid fucking ankle. Because I need help to swap the cold pack and the heat pack out and maybe even refresh the temperature a smidge.
I should go do that now.
Also in my PLNs... finishing that layer of
Read more »I have an appointment, I have shopping to do. I have a water filtration system that needs a joosh and I have to call some people about it. I have an entry for the promptcast that's in need of a once-over. Aaaaannnd I have no time for breakfast. Woo.
It's looking like a very fun day, for interesting definitions of fun. At least some of my time-shaving habits will have me working on my cover art, today, with hopes of having it
Read more »It does indeed take me five-ever to create an art. I have a layer of fuckin' kudzu to finish, a further layer of kudzu to render, and the shadows of Guy Generic's ass to add so his pants have depth.
Huzzah.
I am within a very few days of having this cover ready for publication. The hardest part will be picking a font for the title.
I always go through that journey when the time comes.
And speaking of, I need to

...wheeee...
I did enjoy some birthday sushi and a restaurant-wide humiliation ritual because my lovelies are FIENDS who will absolutely dob the birthday bean into the restaurant staff. I will wreak my revenge eventually.
And there's a creamy chocolate torte in the fridge to vanish slice by slice.
Read more »Hooray, hooray, I'm 54 today.
I have a new story that's due out today. Alas, I have yet to finish the cover art. I hope to do that at some point today or tomorrow. And then, my lovely readers, we are off to the races.
I can do this. If I can get it out IN October, then it's good. I do have to shade Guy Generic's pants, but the primary deal is all the fuckin' kudzu.
I know what it looks

...my sweet Powers, it is full of holes.
My mentee needs to slow the fuck down and take a good solid look at what he's writing while he's writing it. I get frustrated and have to take breaks.
One day, he shall mentor someone who's just like him... MWA-hahahaha. Ahem.
I shall be working on the editing, and the daily tale, and my

BUT... I only have a few more things to add to the cover art in progress and that thing is ready for the title text. Huzzah.
I predict the most troublesome thing will be the fucking rain poncho. I think I know what I'll be doing with adding 'noise' to the concrete lumps. Which means that
