I'm working on Map 16 with some genuine ideas of what the hell I'm doing. My aim is to get a chapter summarised, a week tagged, and some jiggery-pokery done for the dungeon.
I also would dearly love to get another chapter done. Keep ahead of the curve.
We get paid tomorrow. Huzzah. Which means we can breathe a little bit easier until next paycheque.
Tale Foundry's doing the backup readings right now, so my story will be happening whenever I can wrangle the minutes.
I am pretty sure I didn't make The Bikkie on Friday. I'll have to get on with that today.
I have finally managed to create Map 15 for the continuing adventure, and I've made significant progress for the first half of Map 16. Which is two maps instead of just one. I had to do some jiggery-pokery just to get it to the right scale.
Fingers crossed that I don't gain any more ulcers about it.

I kid, I kid.
Of course, I woke up much earlier. Four thirty in the morning to walk in a park with friendos, then brunch.
We did a spot of shopping and now I have all the essentials necessary so that I can have coffee for the month.
Just the important stuff.
Next week, we're all off to the beach on Sunday, so don't expect a lot out of me then.
Onwards to

There's some steps I'm leaving for last on purpose.
On my continuing agenda is getting another week tagged and another chapter summarised as well as the map shenanigans.
I'm getting there. One little baby step at a time.
Read more »I didn't get to the map yesterday, so I'm doing the map today. After I publish the daily tale, of course.
Which I wrote before doing today's blog. Whoops.
I'm also doing the thing for WritingWonders and covering stuff about Blorbo From My WIP.
It's fun.
Fingers crossed, I can get to starting Map 16.
Let's have a go.
Read more »I didn't get much of the output done, yesterday. Mostly because I was dealing with a scammer. That kind of thing fries my brain out.
At least I wasn't phished in.
This week's Wordpress will be more of Kosh's fanficcy shenanigans, and I can tell you that there are VAST differences between the fanfic and the novel(s).
I suspect there will be fans going down that rabbit hole in depth when it's published. [gotta believe it WILL be published] That's going

Blargh.
Fingers crossed, this afternoon will be cool enough to allow me to do that.
If not, tomorrow morning will be the next bet.
Onwards to the Patreon posting and the story of the day.
Let's do this.

So I shall spend the intervening minutes working on another chapter of A Devil's Tale because I need to have those to keep my Beloved happy. Well. I also want to have those. Because this whole book is fun.
For the second time, DungeonDraft crashed as I was trying to

I don't know if I can get today's tale out, since I need to catch some sleep. BUT... If not, tomorrow will be a twofer stream.
Wish me luck with that nonsense.
I think I'll need it.
Read more »I have cleaned the catio before I sat down to write. I am keeping my temptation to play Dyson Sphere Program at bay until I have at least done the mandatory output.
Last time I tried fixing a map, the app crashed. I try again today.
I also aim to feed my starters, summarise a chapter, and tag a week of fic.
There will be Bikkie.
Tomorrow promises to be interesting, as the morning is full of Parkrun and the evening is
Read more »Beloved binged chapters right up to The Kiss(tm). Which means that there's VERY FEW chapters between where she's up to and where I'm writing.
So I really should hustle some more chapters.
BUT I also have to fix a dungeon map, tag a week for the app, summarise a chapter for the pitmad. And find a moment for myself to chill and enjoy stuff.
I'm feeling a little pressed right now.
But I know Beloved understands me and will ease off
Read more »It's taking me longer to write the daily tale. I should work on that.
In my feed this morning, people using AI's to write things are flooding publishers with AI-generated horseshit. People creating garbage product with minimal possible effort and maximum possible profit in mind.
Which means that my efforts to prepare for publishers might yet be moot.
Fucking idiots not wanting to put in the effort... grumble grumble bitch and whine.
Sigh.
Anyway. Considering how slow I am at the summarising,

I have commenced the chapter in which my main protagonists of A Devil's Tale finally lock lips. This is something I've been anticipating for some time.
I can only hope I do it all justice.
Onwards to my PLNs today is to post the Patreon stuff, correct some errors in a dungeon map, try to get the tagging and summarising done, and then

Sigh.
I shall get on with today's tale, do the Tale Foundry reads and then get on with fixing the issues I gave myself. As

So I cancelled the story stream and went for a nap. Not sure it took.
BUT it is the afternoon, so I should probably force it happening.
Gave the starters/harvest product to my Beloved while I napped and she's still about to make a start. Sigh.
I'll focus on the story and then crawl back to bed and hope for
