Friday, Shrink Day and Shopping

I have to focus on getting my output up this morning because I'm out and about in meatspace! Those of you who read the titles of my entries here already know what I'm up to. For those who don't...

I'm seeing my shrink today, and shopping on the way back home. We need cream and I need snackabobs and the fam would love to have pasta sauce.

I'll see what I can get with what I've got.

In Devil's Tale news, I am heading steadily towards chapter 200, and rapidly approaching uncharted territory. I may slow down in my writing. I may speed up. Time is the only thing that would tell about it.

Let's get a wriggle-on.

Thursday, Publishing PLN

I am going to work on the cover art for 2022's Year of Instants. First. After I do the daily tale.

I have stuff getting in the way of other stuff I need to do so wish me luck on that one. I know better than to ask questions with painful answers, so I am just hoping for the best and ready to roll with the worst.

And every time I think about getting the anthology out, I have to fight a

Wednesday, Wordpress and Baby Steps

I'm posting yet another episode of the fanficcy variant of A Devil's Tale so I can concentrate on doing some of my other output today.

My goals today are:

  1. What I accomplished yesterday [tagged a week]
  2. Something else on my list of TTD

My list of Things To Do:

  • Summarise Beauties and the Beastly
  • Prep dungeon stuff
  • Write more book
  • Make the cover for the firkin Anthology
  • And publish the dang thing

UGH

I almost forgot about the anthology fml.

I will

Tuesday, Patreon and PLNs

I got my Patreon stuff out this morning, so I consider myself ahead of the game.

Dipping my toes into getting back to my former workload, today. One task at a time until I've had a sufficiency of creating things for Output(tm).

A PLN not really helped by some friction between my Beloved and I. It's probably long-term petty stuff, but I'm feeling put out about it right at the moment.

So the morbs are back from that nonsense.

Fuck.

Monday, Stream and Slob

I now have a new heat sink and that seems to have solved the slowing issue. The tower's been on since about 3PM yesterday and it's still holding steady at about 70 degrees Celcius. Huzzah.

Immediately after the stream, I am headed to bed for some sleeps. Story will be posted when I achieve consciousness again.

Currently, Discord is blooping at me and I'm going nuts trying to figure out how to mute it again.

Stream soon. Story later. Everything else is

Sunday, Game Night, Unfuck the Tower

Yesterday was a day mostly in meatspace and subsequently flat-out unconscious. Today is a day to get as much done before a certain hour as I can because I need my sleep before Game Night.

The current PLN to fix my compy issues is to replace the coolant tube thing that may be the source of my temperature issues. That's probably not happening today. It might not be happening tomorrow.

As an extra bonus fun time, my compy likes to cut off

Saturday, Latest Entry of All?

It wasn't just the Parkrun, today. It was the Parkrun and taking Friendo Awesome to the hairdressers for a confidence booster and brunch at a place that served Coffee Milkshakes [vital!] and then taking everyone and finally us home.

Then I fell ASLEEP.

I just woke up, I'm doing my work on my laptop and then most likely returning to slumber. If I don't get bitten by the urge to write until midnight.

So without further ado, let's get on with doing

Friday, ALMOST incommunicado

I will admit, I am a dilly daddle dummins. Only this afternoon in the hairdressers did I realise that I could actually do my content work whilst my Beloved is still slumbering in the morning.

All that I miss out on is all the content on YouTube that I want to watch because preserving her rest is tantamount. I must unearth some headphones so I can listen to things and work like I'm used to doing at my desk.

And then maybe

Wednesday, Wordpress and PLNs

It's Sausage Day tomorrow. The day in which all Australians take a day off to make burned offerings to the Beach Gods.

Well. That's what an alien might think.

It's the day that the Whitefellas ruined everything for all the Blackfellas already living here. Or it's the day in which the Gallant and Brave Captain Cook Discovered our wide brown land for the Glory of Britannia. OR it's the day when communication began between an empire and a stone-age civilisation and things

Tuesday, Glasses and Patreon

One of the nose-pieces of my glasses has dropped off and I'm unable to find it. So I have to get my shit together and head on up to the shops to get that fixed.

The bit of metal that a nosepiece fits into? Uncomfortable as all shit.

So after I'm done with this, I don clothing and seek the world outside my hermit cave house.

When I get back, that's when the content will flow.

I have a new tactic that

Monday, Craptastic Computer Shenanigans

So my computer overheats and then nothing works when it does. If it gets above 85 Celcius, then literally everything falls over.

I have to hurry and publish since I managed to procrastinate my way to 77C and only have a few degrees until functionality apocalypse.

My plns include naps and writing more angst devil boi.

I just have to publish right now.

Sunday, Game Night

Where's yesterday's story and why wasn't it out like usual?

Well.

I over-extended myself on Parkrun this week (ow. It still hurts) and needed an extended nap. Added onto that is a cyclone headache thanks to a low pressure system with its centre somewhere near Vanuatu.

Fucking VANUATU!

The low extends closer to Queensland, but HOLY SHIT. Vanuatu. Deesh.

I also had a social engagement in the evening. Hurry though I may, I could not get the word out everywhere.

I'm working

Saturday, Parkrun Tardiness

My Beloved woke me up with a firkin movie night with the girls. Hudson Hawk, which is good taste, but I wanted to SLEEP. Ow...

I did a deliberate run last week and I should not have tried to do it again this time. Ow.

Also, there's a severe low pressure system off of Vanuatu and my face can feel it. OW!

So I shall now commence an attempt at the daily tale before my love and I are offski towards another

Friday, Unfucking and Chill

The catio needs cleaning out, the starters need feeding, and I am the bean to do that because I'm the only bean who does.

BUT because my compy has some heat issues that limit activity to four hours, I'm doing as much as I can in those windows.

With breaks for benevolent stuff to do.

Turning off the streaming obligation has freed me up to chill about doing stuff.

I might even be able to do some pre-publishing prep.

We shall see.
