The instant I'm done with the blog, I'm in the car and off to MeMum's to help with assorted nonsense.
Donations, educations, lunch, and fuel money ahoy. Yay.
Hopefully I get MeMum to stop using the goshdang comment button the entire firkin time.
If I get back in time, I shall be doing the Instant Story then. If not, y'all get a twofer tomorrow.
Chapter count: working on Chapter 267.
Let's get going on the stuff. Yoiks and away!
Tomorrow, I journey to MeMum's to teach her things and help fix stuff. Today, I attempt to focus on assorted nonsense. Tale Foundry is reading stories. I should stream today's tale sometime RSN.
Going out and about without the Lappy is going to be a pain in the bum. Yes, I can manage with the iPad, but I never figured out how to stop doing smart quotes in that thing and going back to amend them into 'dumb' quotes is one extra

I think I shall continue the map I started earlier. Unriddling WTF I should do about the giant squid on the GD map.
...firkin weird-as map details :P
Onwards to doing that thing.
Read more »There's a crack in the monitor of my Lappy, so it really truly had to go get some repairs. I didn't put it in yesterday because the dang forms took up all of my time and I therefore didn't get to test the lappy.
Yay...?
Because the repair people are in New South Wales, it's two business days' transit there, two more back, and whatever added days for the repair.
I'm going to be without my lappy for a week at the
Read more »I have a dental appointment today, and I have to turn up early. That will dictate where the rest of my day goes.
I will have either one or two curses to remove during my following nonsense.
Aunt E has some continuing troubles and curse removal seems like a viable option at this point. Fortunately, I know a few places who sell some decent curse removal stuff.
As for the other curse... my laptop has developed some quirk. The mouse pad has
Read more »I'm going to add a completion counter to the fanficcy variant of A Devil's Tale that I'm posting today. Needs to happen.
So I can have rants or samples ready for the next one after I run out of fic to post. So my readers know how much remains. So anyone coming in knows exactly how far I'll take an idea before a novel takes over.
So I can be fair to the peeps following my silly little story.
And just maybe
Read more »I woke up at Fuckoff AM with yet another fucking cyclone migraine drilling through my left eye orbit. Rather than suffer until the daylight hours, I took some of the Mondo Painkillers and the pain kept me up for another hour or so.
...and most of a page of A Devil's Tale so there's some win in all of this horseshit.
My priorities shall be the offerings for today, followed by whatever I can stand to do thereafter. Not easily anticipating going
Read more »The cyclone headache of yesterday is still being a pain in my anatomy. Some low pressure system on a radius between me and Rockhampton is being a real beast.
So my PLNs are therefore very quiet and hoping the painkillers kick in THIS time.
If I get to any behind-the-curtain stuff, it will be pure bonus. Obviously, head hurty things make writing a problem.
I can try, but I'm not going to force it.
Let's get going with the good stuff. Creating
Read more »I am currently tucking into some egg-shaped chocolate, having already polished off a hot cross bun.
At some point, I will be setting forth with my Beloved to go fetch the landbarge back to our residence.
I owe y'all a twofer because I missed yesterday's offering. And fetching the car is kind of dominating my agenda processing skills.
It's that thing where you have an appointment at 3PM and end up doing nothing until it's time to go do the thing.
Yeah.
Read more »All through March and April I was thinking, "I really gotta shop for Easter. I really gotta shop for Easter. I REALLY gotta shop for Easter."
The shops were shut this morning.
Firkin WHOOPS.
We managed to wing it anyways. Gonna try to not procrastinate holidays from henceforth.
Not helping is the general inclination to just focus on the stuff that's here and now and less expensive to deal with.
Inertia is my copilot, alas.
I still haven't cleaned the catio or
Read more »I didn't tag a week, yesterday, but I did get a chapter summarised, so there is that.
I hope to tag a week, summarise a chapter, and at least draw a dungeon floor map before I play PathFinder with my peeps in the Rainbow Chat Group.
Wish me luck.
I also plan to drip sentences or paragraphs into my working chapter as I go.
Chapter Count: Began working on Chapter 262
Fingers crossed that I get to at least halfway through it
Read more »I'm still dribbling sentences into Chapter 261 where the happy happy fun times begin.
Turns out writing smut is a skill I need to rekindle after years of letting it atrophy. Once I get back into the -haha- swing of things, I'm sure I'll take off into writing two chapters a day again.
Or near enough to it.
I have little idea of WTF I might be doing tonight. Maybe bath snacks and reading to my lovely. Keep it cheap since we
Read more »I'm definitely working on stuff I haven't written before. Scenes I haven't messed with in any other arena. Scary.
So I shall be slowing right down in my chapter production as I go forward. Until I reach other areas in which I am more secure.
Chapter Count: Battling through some steam for Chapter 261
Patreon posts today. Story very soon. Onwards to the rest of it too, I hope.
Let's get some progress on.
Read more »The Tale Foundry backup reads are going on as I write this. I have been variously awake since 1AM this morning. So I am not going to do very much behind the curtain for reasons that should be obvious.
Chapter Count: About to commence Chapter 260
My other plns will involve keeping my Beloved company and maybe playing some games.
Let's get on with things.
Read more »I know I'm not getting read because I got read last week. That's cool. I get to have a little more activity in the reads tomorrow.
I have few plans today than the normal stuff. Do the writing stream, if Toasty isn't online, go take a nap, then post the dang story in the afternoon.
I am a very tired bean right now.
I would like a nap.
