Pretty sure I'm going to be helping out with getting the mess out of the front room today. So I shall be making a sincere effort to get today's story done before the babes wake up.
I just heard the kitty gate going. It's not looking good for that goal.
Story out whenever I need an extended sit-down, I guess.
Beloved and Adorable were unfucking their soon-to-be ex-residence yesterday. They're back here today to focus on unfucking the garage so we can move out the computer room so we can turn it into a bedroom so that people can move in.
I have ventured the idea that the garage can not only be nerd storage, but also space for spare fridges, freezers, and bulk shelf-stable foodstuffs.
We have a PLN.
It's just the other nonsense that tends to get in the way.

I should have known when some chunks came up to the outside of me. They were not a nice colour.
So now I'm doing all the things to loosen up the clinker and get some lung capacity back and some clear bronchii to breathe as well.
If I wake up at fuckoff at night, I'm taking a dose on the Nebuliser. During

Today, I am seeing the sleep study people to find out what they're saying about my slumber. Amongst many other things.
Patreon. Daily tale. Continuing to try unriddling the house contents, which will include the arrival of a skip into the driveway. All the better to remove the true debris.
And I just got a reminder that I'm due a blood test for the experts. I

There's a PLN to turn the patio into a catio extension so that NannaDorbs will have somewhere to smoke. FTR she rolls her own so I should have few issues with the tobacco.
Yesterday, Beloved and Adorable rolled in,

Good news: We're going to save a bit of money by only supporting one house.
Bad news: It's looking to be UTTER FUCKING CHAOS for two to three months, minimum
Good news: At least I got the firkin sink completely unclogged before anyone else could
It's not very long before the Promptcast has me in the hot seat for an author interview. I have bread waiting to be baked. I have my good self primped and prepped for my online closeup.
I may have fucked up the times in my notifications, but I am not perfect and everyone knows that.
I fear my biggest issue will be staying focussed on the interview. I have removed most of my distractions. There's still the computer and all the other

Huzzah.
I have the double-dough juggling day going on, so whatever I get done counts as a minor miracle.
I'm hoping to at least get a scribbly-sketch of my cover done at some point today. I did half a chapter yesterday and that was an achievement. I don't know if

I have an online Interview with the Promptcast people in TWO DAYS and I have no idea how to sell tf out of that.
I am planning to post something today, tomorrow, and the day of. I don't know what the fuck it is, yet, but I will post something.

Step One: Unearth assets
Step Two: Launch Krita
Step Three: Insert assets
I can do that much, I'm sure. It won't take that long. It's getting started that's the bugger.
Same issue with getting started on today's offerings. Helping people in the write-in is way more

Today's focus, after I post on Patreon, is getting a majority of the story for the Promptcast done and dusted.
Following that, the day's tale.
THEN I do some jiggery-pokery on the next stage of the Ingram move. I can get one short done and then commence the rollout procedure

I'm trying not to let that get under my skin. I dunno how well that's working.
On my agenda:
So here's the dealio...
Meanwhile, I'm going to try the ePub-to-ZIP trick and see if that streamlines what I am calling The Process. Because somewhere between Smashwords and Draft2Digital, the formatting of

I have commenced a process for moving my shit off of Draft2Digital and onto Ingram Spark. The caveat to this is that I need to buy "real" ISBNs for each book.
Given that I have 31 books out already, and I likely have more in me, that's going to cost a bit. Close to $600 dollarydoos. Ouch.
I have three bucks in the bank and a fraction of that in my Paypal. So I'm doing what I can. Shifting files off of
