I'm rewriting a chapter this morning. And if the Promptcast is doing Booked For Friday, then moderating that. It's already 27 Celcius in the Nerd Cave [82 in Freedom Units] so I am most likely to flake the fuck out until the day cools off again.
I did finish another chapter so as soon as I am capable, I shall update my Patreon and write my tale.
The weather here hurts.
I was up at 1AM again this morning, so I have at least half a new chapter of ADT done and dusted. The Promptcast crew are meeting today (I think) so I'm keeping an eye open on the Discord.
I have one story to write, and hope to finish the chapter I started before I melt.
The NaNo motivation has me finishing so many chapters in the rewrite. I have trouble remembering to update my Patreon. Sorry about that, but I am

I skipped out on editing ADT yesterday, but I am submitting a potential excerpt for ADT and I was editing that yesterday, so I am counting that for my non-NaNoWriMo.
...which reminds me, I need to get rattling on the work on a closer chapter than the one I submitted for the

AND I should do something for Weird Writer Wednesday.
I am BUSY-busy.
Plus the temperature will be soaring to the thirties Celcius [that's late eighties, early nineties in Freedom Units] so it also promises to be a bit of a slog.
I am, naturally, trying my very best.
This isn't

I'm also declaring a cheat day because it's a day out with the babes. Yes, I will be logging my food. But I shall also encourage my darlings to stop in at Golden Circle Factory Outlet for the cheapest of nomnoms in the cinema.
Best to shave those pennies where and how we can. Because

I have finished listening to Neil Newbon reading glorified fanfic the Astarion book endorsed by WotC. As far as fanfic goes - could have used a fact checker and some beta'ing. The author forgot Astarion doesn't have a heartbeat more than once. And may have fluffed the lore/continuity of canon events.
It's fanfic. R. Kingfisher could have painted Astarion purple if they wanted

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.

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.

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
Read more »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

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

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

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

I shall try nonetheless.
