Pain Hurts

A 435-post collection

Monday, Locking In

I have a thing to do for the Promptcast newsletter. I have a cover to finish arting. I have a work to create for the Promptcast and a work to create for your entertainment.

...wheeee...

I did enjoy some birthday sushi and a restaurant-wide humiliation ritual because my lovelies are FIENDS who will absolutely dob the birthday bean into the restaurant staff. I will wreak my revenge eventually.

And there's a creamy chocolate torte in the fridge to vanish slice by slice. Delicious.

Of fucking course my diet is off until the cake is 100% gone. That's the way things go around here.

I've been awake since 1AM and today is going to SUUUUCK but I gotta do the things.

My back hurts, I'm falling asleep on my ass, and I have social obligations on Discord.

I've got this. Let's go.

Sunday, Stream, Birthday, and New Story

Hooray, hooray, I'm 54 today.

I have a new story that's due out today. Alas, I have yet to finish the cover art. I hope to do that at some point today or tomorrow. And then, my lovely readers, we are off to the races.

I can do this. If I can get it out IN October, then it's good. I do have to shade Guy Generic's pants, but the primary deal is all the fuckin' kudzu.

I know what it looks

Friday, Dealing With STUFF

I should be posting my Patreon stuff today. I have other work, like editing mentees offering for the Promptcast.

...my sweet Powers, it is full of holes.

My mentee needs to slow the fuck down and take a good solid look at what he's writing while he's writing it. I get frustrated and have to take breaks.

One day, he shall mentor someone who's just like him... MWA-hahahaha. Ahem.

I shall be working on the editing, and the daily tale, and my

Wednesday, Almost Done and a Whoops

Whoops, we all forgor to get the rubbish out this week. Oh dear. And there's Sneezin' and Wheezin' Season biting my bum for extra "fun times".

BUT... I only have a few more things to add to the cover art in progress and that thing is ready for the title text. Huzzah.

I predict the most troublesome thing will be the fucking rain poncho. I think I know what I'll be doing with adding 'noise' to the concrete lumps. Which means that

Wednesday, Editing, Doodling, Stuff and Nonsense

I'm currently in the last edit of my Promptcast thing. Comte Dragomyr rides again. Or might be ridden, depending on Marzanna's inclinations. ...hur hur hur...

I have to look up concrete rubble and put that into the scene, finish off Guy Generic in the foreground and put some clouds into the sky.

Before October Fourth.

I'm nearly there. I can do this.

I can get this little fucker out there. And hopefully earn a little scratch doing it.

I've bothered five people

Tuesday, Some Difficulties in Proceeding

I think I'll be able to have five more chapters by this Friday, but... If not, I shall stretch out my supply to one per week.

I am planning to finish off my Promptcast entry for this week, so that will be something. I would like an approval for the latest added material before I charge on with more revised chapters.

The hinderance - the group reading through it with me are caught up in other shenanigans. I need them to really

Monday, Writing Group Stuff and Nonsense

I am officially on the task of chasing my AMitA alumni into writing 2500 words each. With the extra bonus of the Dialogue Clearinghouse Sweepstakes. Three pieces of dialogue have been handed out to us. No voting, just use what fits you best.

But secret points for using them all.

So... because of one of the offered lines, I am dusting off Compte Dragomyr.

The line in question: "Do you want vampires? Because this is how we get vampires."

Styxx wanted a

Saturday, Modding and PLNs

I am currently moderating the chat for Hold My Pen, but the PLN is to catalogue another handful of comics before working on another chapter of A Devil's Tale.

Of course, that happens after the daily story.

The good news is that I am rocketting along with the ADT rewrite, and my dollar tier Patreon patrons are going to feast.

Fingers crossed, I shall have the spoons for other things, but those are the goals.

...and at some point, I have to

Friday, Lucre Fugit

I had money yesterday, and then I went out to (a) chase paperwork, and (b) gather a few essentials along the way. At least I have enough to pay for my next Physio visit.

Today, I hope to catalogue more comics when I'm done with the daily tale. I may or may not download a version of my cover art.

...and I should probably post something on my Patreon.

I do have ten chapters done. I can post five a week so

Thursday, Shopping, Doctor's, and Maybe Other Things

I'm getting paperwork for my afflictions in an attempt to get on the disability pension so we all have income to support the household. It might not work, but it's worth a shot.

There's also a writer's grant that I need to look up again and figure out. Also worth a shot.

We don't know when money will be available again, so having multiple incomes will be an improvement on that noise. Looking at things, I'll have to think about what I'm

Wednesday, PLNs Almost Underway

I successfully rendered human flesh [but stuff still happened]... so now on my agenda are:

  • concrete chunks
  • the mask
  • hair
  • cheap-ass rain poncho
  • Rendering the sky will be relatively easy in comparison to all the other horseshit I've been playing with

And the mandatory daily tale. I may even have the spoons to work on a revised chapter or two. I can hope.

One or two features of the cover, a little reworking, and your daily entertainment. Sounds easy.

Let's see how

Tuesday, Pushing Myself a Bit

We can't afford to laundromat, so washing must be done in-house. And if I want the washing I gathered up months ago to get done, I'm the only one who can do it. Huzzah?

Gotta count my cheevs because otherwise I will wind up crying.

One wash done. Lovelies offski to parts unknown, mission also unknown. Breakfast dealt with. Coffee et cetera taken care of. Emails done. [Not thinking about the comics cataloguing, the book, whether or not I've got anything for

Monday, Ill Weather Due

Be warned: I am planning a haircut. Why this is relevant is because I have inherited my father's curse. Every time he cut his hair, the local area would get a shitload of terribad weather phenomena.

So yeah. I am going to get some tasks done and then get Adorable to re-cut my undercut so I'm prepared for the rising temperatures.

Then I get on with today's story and refining a new chapter in ADT.

Huzzah.

Onwards to my cunning PLN.

Update:

Sunday, No Stream, Other Shenanigans

Izzy, prime host and main draw for the Promptcast, is down with an illness. Other hosts are unavailable, so there's no stream this week. Boo and hiss, but also well-wishes for Izzy's speedy recovery.

I am up since 1AM today, because early nap yesterday because of Emotional Wringer the day before.

I knew my sleep schedule would be fucked. I'm using it to my advantage when and how I can.

For instance - I have already written the thing for this upcoming
