Plague Diary

A 2052-post collection

Tuesday, Patreon and Writing PLNs

I did my video prep before commencing, and I already did some 1AM writing because I have once again fucked up my sleep schedule.

At least I got a chapter finished. Twenty-six chapters to go.

I got some things to share with my Patrons, yay.

But first, I need to make one more thing to entertain my Patrons with, and that shall be the Podcast prompt. Since I still can't fucking figure out the Archive prompt. There's still time. I will get this sorted.

So I'll do the Promptcast thing, and then move along with the rest of my offerings.

With luck and breaks for ankle time, naturally.

Tomorrow? I may have to go shopping. BLARGH.

Monday, Shrink Day and Other Things(?)

I have now signed on to a word count tracker, so every word I put down that isn't chat between pals is going to get counted.

I have no idea if there's going to be a read-in today. We have three weeks to work on the prompt in the Archive and I still have no clue what I'm doing with it.

I will either get an idea or not. I can hope that I do.

In the meantime, I have

Sunday, Streams and Shenanigans

I am watching the Archive stream, and as soon as the Promptcast one begins, I'll be over there to see how they react to the snippet I managed to get.

I'm evil that way.

I have a video to arrange for tomorrow, the story to write for today, and some very shiny story that I'm basically writing for a friend.

They're throwing art at me. How could I resist?

I shall attempt to focus on the day's tale. And then get on

Saturday, Taking it Easy? Please?

I am aiming to get more hours of free time, today. BUT the other collab work has apparently revived, so I'll be keeping an eye out on that particular channel.

...and I have shiny, shiny fanfics whimpering for my attention.

We'll see how I go.

Shopping, yesterday, wrecked my ankle but good. I needed the cane and extra ice time just to shamble around and finish the rest of my appointed tasks.

At least we have bread now, and the fam are

Friday, Mor Rest Pls

I have to go shopping -_-

Which means I have to wear clothes suitable for public view. I have to go place and get thing. BUT there's a couple of hours before I go do that, so I shall attempt to get the offerings out of the way.

It's going to be expensive, this week. On the other hand, I did wait until payday to go and do this.

Fingers crossed, it holds.

I'd like to be able to save again.

Thursday, Attempt at Rest

I'm not good at making time off. Despite my plans to take things easier: I have a video to arrange, reviews to do, and the mandatory offerings.

No pressure.

Only the reviews help my collab partner increase their odds of getting on the stream. The videos increase my odds of people enjoying my stuff and journeying down the rabbit hole about me, and the offerings increase the chances of gaining a vocal fandom.

They're all good things to aim for.

And so

Wednesday, Rants and Overreach

I'm getting things done by slow degrees. I'm trying to remain focussed on the things that need doing, but getting distracted by the things I'm having fun doing.

Same old same old.

Remembered the email system with MeMum. Forgor I was driving Mayhem to work this morning.

I'm sure it's stress.

I have the flash fiction to write today, the Archive fic to at least try to concoct, and a rant about something to think up and consequently write.

And I am

Tuesday, Patreon, Birthday, and PLN'ing Skills

It's my Beloved's birthday today. We have a dinner planned to celebrate the day.

I have a collab to work on, the daily tale, the thing for Promptcast, the thing for the Archive, and technically three fanfics in the works.

I will be posting things whenever I can, but ability to can might just be out of my reach. My collab partner and I can get distracted by the drop of a topic.

While we're yatting on down rabbit holes, I shall

Sunday, Writing Group Stuff and Nonsense

The Archive is going through their tales. The Promptcast will be going forward in a few hours. I'm getting a cyclone headache and the weather outside is threatening my connectivity abilities.

Fingers crossed nothing else interrupts my plans to hang around and do a lot of nothing.

I know the next prompt, but... Figuring out what to do with it is the embuggerance. I'll see what pops into my head.

Meanwhile, I work on the other offerings. Including the arrangement of a

Saturday, Aches and Pains

The ankle is getting stronger. And grumbling all the way. I'm still babying the dang thing because I can sense it wanting to rebel.

My right wrist doesn't like me this morning and is reminding me that I have been beyond lax in doing my wrist stretchies before I get on with the tikkatakka.

I'll get going with that tomorrow.

Maintaining my meat suit is taking longer and longer.

I shall get on with today's tale shortly.

Friday, Maybe a Relax?

I have a video to publish on Peertube, the daily tale, and just maybe a chance to play a game other than Minecraft today. I also have zero excuses to not set up the blood test at firkin last.

Watch me come up with one.

My ankle's being a little tender so I'm treating it gently today. But in all other things, I should get things done.

Let's get going on that.

Thursday, Physio and Parcel Post

I got physio this morning, and I have some packages to pick up at AusPost. Fingers crossed, they're still there.

I must keep my AusPost app active or I'll never get notifications -_-

I'm recording a tale and arranging a video today, as well as conglomerating today's offerings. I may or may not be able to arrange things for other works. But I am close to finishing a chapter of ADT so I'm taking that win.

What other wins there may

Wednesday, Shopping and Rant Due

We. Need. Stuff.

I also need to write a rant, write a story, and work on other stories. With or without consultation involving a fellow writer.

My ankle objected to taking Mayhem out to work so I need to put on the brace before I take off on the usual Leyland's Tour. At least the list is short and the economic load is light this time. Huzzah.

Stuff coming out whenever I manage to get it done, of course.

I shall ice

Tuesday, Patreon and PLNs

I owe things to my Patrons today. I have a story to write, but I have finished half a chapter of ADT this morning.

Combo of a productive 1AM and this morning's ice session. Huzzah.

May today be just as productive.

I also have a story to read so that tomorrow's video will be prepped and ready to launch. Fingers crossed, I stay that much on top of things.
