Dear Diary

A 3892-post collection

Sunday, My Glorious Return!

Huzzah! Things have returned to what passes for normal.

Yesterday's story is here if you wish to catch it from here. Honestly, I think the only person who reads my hub site is MeMum. [Hi!]

The Promptcast is reading stories later on today and I am moderating the chat. I also have a story in there. The continuing saga of a Vampire in love and the Healer who has a lot more to deal with than just him.

I think this might be an Ace romance novel. Holding hands. Cuddling. And of course the blood drinking stuff because Vampire.

When I firkin get around to filling it out, of course.

I'm currently working on an additional chapter for ADT. It's going to have 39 more chapters, according to my best math. Jumping from 117 to 156. Fortunately, short chapters.

I might need to think up ways to make the TikTok crowd pick up that thick a book.

But first, I need to finish writing it.

Let's get on with that and today's dose of fiction.

Friday, Teh PLN

I slept the night because melting in the heat of the day. And the heat of the day went on way longer than it needed to be.

So I am up and determined to get the writing done as soon as possible before the heat smacks me in the guts. The weather promises to be milder today, but nocturnalism is gaining appeal as summer looms.

It's going to be nastier weather as time goes by.

Onwards to the storytelling.

Thursday, Nocturnal Nonsense

I was fully awake all night. Which let me get two chapters in and write the tale for today. Huzzah.

I think I shall be out of it for most of the daylight. It seems to be working for me.

I now have the Astarion Audiobook now. I'm listening to it like it's a fanfic with a professional reader. Honestly, I just want to listen to Neil Newbon doing the voice some more :D

And it gives me something to listen to

Wednesday, Fucked-up sleep schedule

Once again, I have not written a Weird Writer Wednesday in advance. I may be writing it today. I depends on how much I will be melting in my office.

The heat's destroyed my appetite, and I need to maintain tempting-yet-healthy victuals or suffer the consequences.

I may yet have to entreat my lovelies to look after me.

My agenda this morning is to edit the Promptcast thing first. Daily tale and Weird Writer Wednesday whenever I can summon the spoons.

I've

Tuesday: A Quick One Before Summer Blast

Summer has hit like a ton of bricks and it likes to do most of its abuse in the middle of the day. So. Before I invest in a fully lychnobitical[1] lifestyle for the season, my main goal is to get the majority of my writing done before I drown in a pool of my own sweat.

Therefore, I'm avoiding most of the big distractions and getting on with getting on with things.

Wish me luck because I'm already in chat

Monday, Shopping, NaNoWriMo, and Economy Bullshit

So. It's November and a lot of Authors are locking in, locking their doors, and aiming to get 3K words per diem... this nerd is merely aiming to get "something" in on the rewrite of ADT per day. If I finish a chapter, I give myself a star.

Day 2 on this, I have one star. Let's go!

Still battling the Morbs and attempting to maintain diet and exercise. A little bit of sugar helps cheer my spirits. Too much is breaking

Sunday, Stream Shenanigans Once More

Today is an Unsuitable Food Day. Because there's "Halloween Salad" on offer and I'm battling depression and fuck it, I want treatos.

Results for this past week of food monitoring indicate that I need more protein and less fat. So I shall be looking for cheaper sources of the stuff with a plan for Summer Biotic Protein Smoothies.

BTW "Halloween Salad" is a lot like "Easter Egg Salad" where all of the treats are in a communal bowl and everyone takes what

Saturday, Stream Stuff and Nonsense

The Promptcast is doing another Booked For Friday. I actually have too much breakfast for breakfast this morning. A trial not helped by the Morbs weighing me down

I might end up throwing my toast to the birds.

Blargh.

I shall try nonetheless.

I finished the storyline of Dressmaker yesterday, so now I am compelled to fill out all the achievements. I also want to do well on the one dress I fucked up, so I will be playing the storyline again.

Friday, Battling the Morbs

The Weight(tm) came over me as I was arranging coffee and pills this morning. I wish I knew what was dragging me down so I could make certain it was going to fuck off.

And this was before I found out that Patrick Stewart has passed on.

I will be seeing to my stupid fucking ankle and doing the daily tale, and a few household tasks... but I'm already fighting gravity while doing it.

I'm trying to get fitter. Curing this

Thursday, On top of things?

I have the Promptcast thing done. I have a schedule to maintain my stupid fucking ankle. I still have creeping Morbs weighing me down but I am convincing myself that getting things done a smidge quicker might give me playing-around time.

Zoning out on distractions is not helping with that agenda.

Trying to get a story done before I need to treat my stupid fucking ankle again. Hopefully, I shall have time to play some Dressmaker.

Let's get on with that.

Wednesday, Physio and other PLNs

I have a Promptcast thing to edit, physio today, and a blog post to at least attempt to arrange. Because of Promptcast shenanigans, I have to move my future appointments around. Small beans in the grand scheme of things.

But now my Wednesdays are fully booked out. I can move the Physio to Tuesdays and not worry too hard.

But today... I will not have time for breakfast until it's closer to lunch.

'Tis the way of things, alas.

One day, I

Tuesday, Moving Forward on Big PLNs

I am stocking up on stuff and things today. I also PLN on finishing off the Promptcast thing, working on rewriting ADT, and the daily tale. Yay.

If I have the spoons, I have to also work on Weird Writer Wednesday, and put in some things for my Patreon patrons.

Yes, I know I have to space things out. No, I'm not sure how I can do that when I also need to traipse around Meatspace for hours and hours. Yes, I

Monday, Bracing For Shopping

I need to get stuff and things, so I shall be braving the exterior and shopping centres during the Halloween/Christmas crush.

Yay.

On top of all my other physical BS, navigating the heat and the crazy crowds is not my number one thing to do. I'll survive it because I have to.

I'll be bitching the entire time and likely need a post-expedition nap, but I can do it.

Today's PLN includes 500 words into my Promptcast entry as well as

Sunday, Stream Stuff and Nonsense

The Promptcast will be launching in a few short hours, and I shall be moderating the chat.

The PLNs today include the moderating, the daily tale, and whatever nonsense I can cook up for Weird Writer Wednesday.

Pondering my recovery and health is looking like it's going to be a process. Including a change of diet and some form of exercise to build up what I can of my body.

(Slight bit peeved that asking for help received minimal effort from Beloved,

Saturday: Clambering Back Up

I can still feel the morbs clinging to my back, but I'm getting back up there.

I brushed my hair for the first time in three days. I did some of my stretchies. I made breakfast. I'm about to take my meds, which I missed yesterday.

This is progress. It is slow and steady.

Progress is not linear but I am feeling better. Today.

I do know something that can help but it's terrible for my weight control - sugar.

The Promptcast
