Plague Diary

A 2036-post collection

Wednesday, Date Night, and Wordpress

I think, at last, that I am ready to attempt codifying the rights and responsibilities of my pet universe. I will attempt to cover them from basic to complicated needs.

I hope to cover them all, but there's bound to be gaps. So I shall consider it a "living" document whilst I, at least, live.

Other than that, perhaps our date night should be cheap and at home so we can afford everything.

My phone bricked and my email decided to go on strike at the worst time yesterday. And that necessitated another three-figure bill we didn't need. Blargh.

BUT we will have it working without so much red ink in the future. Because we swapped services. Telstra is now a phone service for the heinously wealthy. Ironic.

But now it's story time for you and the day I attempt to do other things before Beloved and I set off on our grand adventure.

I have commenced sifting potential publishers! Huzzah. If I do ten a day, I can handle the grand sorting. Rejecting any who are closed, who don't take what I'm attempting to deliver, or aren't interested in weirdos.

Out of ten, yesterday, I found TWO I might be able to throw my book at. One of which has not given a time period for any response to my potential submission. The struggle is real.

I had really been hoping to not lean on my personal details for this endeavour, but it may be my only foot in the door.

Also finding out what the hell is wrong with my Author Site may help.

Later. I send you stories and writing now.

Tuesday, Patreon and Content Creation

My kind Patrons are getting more storydump and world-building today. I am doing at least ONE more chamber in TaleSpire and one more thing for Alfarell, then I shall either sit and write or go make a thing in the Minecraft server or fart around.

Tale Foundry should be activating their writing competition at some point and I have a thing ready to go. You see it first on my Patreon if you're paying enough. Or if you're a part of the

Long Monday, Low Expectations

The crew and I have attempted to play several games in one sesh. Rutrum got sick of Minecraft, and I get it. The game can get on your pecs if you're not careful.

But we had fun, anyway.

The remainder of my morning is dedicated to the story stream, then letting Beloved take over the parenting at least for this morning. Then I must discuss how to remove mods from our versions of Satisfactory. Or at least turning them off.

Because sharing

Sunday, Game Nite

We're still two more days away from payday, and squirming our way out from under the meteor of bills that have had us more or less hostage this past couple of weeks.

Life gets expensive.

Late stage capitalism bites big wind.

Come payday, we can get nice things. I might even be able to pay for Jolie's three-figure dental bill. I already feel guilty about waiting this long to get it fixed.

I'm also running out of pre-made meals and we are

Saturday, teh PLN?

I need a wrist support now that I'm playing mouse-heavy games with my crew of international maniacs. Beloved might know where I can get one that has not been transformed into Anime Boobs.

I'm still calling it a tiddy rest. Because that's where my brain lives.

Today, I am actually going to learn how Unreal Engine works. Play around with it. If I can't make Kosh, I can at least make his brother. And then twiddle around somewhere else with the build

Friday, Unfuckening But Tired

I have a catio to clean, a bikkie to make, and I'm already working on minimum sleep. WHEEEEEeeeeeee....

Coffee is not working rn.

I might just do my stream and then slug off because so dang tired. Get to the other stuff when I'm properly rested.

This, naturally, is a cue for everyone with a dirt bike or a motorcycle to have fun times in a round-robin noise-off.

Thursday, Today I'm Learnding

Today's the day I don't have much else going on, so I shall be dragging myself through A Basic Accomplishment in A Free Software, with the long-term goal of Doing A Thing.

I have animation projects in the back of my head and the potential to actually make them be real in my future. It's all up to what I'm capable of doing and how frustrated I get with it in the process. I'm a stubborn bean so it might actually be

Wednesday, Wordpress and Nonsense

I don't know what to write for this week's wordpress, so it will likely be a copy/pasta of the fanficcy version of A Devil's Tale. It feels lazy, but I am also stuck for what to write that doesn't sound like even more angry leftist ranting against the fascist machine grinding everyone into the dirt.

I think there's plenty of opinions about that flying around right now.

As I did yesterday, I will concentrate on my content and perhaps have a

Tuesday, Patreon and Continuing Issues

Despite the best medicine I could find, Beloved is still fighting the cough. Might be time to visit a quack about it. Blargh.

I am powering on with A Devil's Tale and having fun playing with the adventures of my devilish dude, time, and the lady he will eventually meet, love, and marry.

I will eventually get back to writing the last book of my planned trilogy. Forced writing is bad writing, so going with the fun stuff is helping me stay

Long Monday Again!

Tale Foundry has moved their stream to this oncoming Saturday, so I didn't have to fret about that. Yet. I still have chambering and world building and NOW I have a shared Minecraft world with my fellow players to have fun with. Which means some hours dedicated to a duplicate world in Creative Mode to work out what the hell I'm doing with the hole I found to inhabit.

Where to put the roast chicken machine, where to put the roast beef

Sunday, Game Night PLNs

There's no D&D this week. We're playing Minecraft together. Which means that I have to make a new profile for that noise. That will be happening after the story post goes through.

Today, I will be messing around on Minecraft. Working on my potential base in Creative. Or writing some more A Devil's Tale because it has me by the Muse.

The Lurgi that Miss Chaos brought home has definitely hit Beloved hard. So much so that she has to

Saturday, Plots and PLNs

We had some fun, last night. One near-arsehole encounter and a lot of tromping around in the rain, with dinner and gasbagging to follow. You can guess that this has done me some ow's for today.

Taking things easy, all the same. Taking my time, taking some rest, and possibly taking some tea.

...and I just now realised that I forgot to do the story read today. AUGH.

I will read tomorrow. Not that many people seem to either care or mind.

Friday, Evening PLNs

I borked my wrist by sleeping on it wrong, so this morning was more painful than it needed to be. I should get some medication on that noise.

My PLNs today include habitat unfuckening, resting my poor sore wrist, followed by some fun times with Beloved for a special event.

I might take a nap in the middle of the day so that I have the energy for that.

But my focus for now is delivering that delicious content. So let's get

Wednesday, Wordpress and Date PLNs

I was going to talk about the rights and responsibilities of the Galactic Alliance, but given recent political shenanigans, I kind'a have to go off about the hypocrisy of the alleged "Pro Life" movement.

They're not pro life. They're pro cruelty.

I will go into this in depth. Including some of the arguments they [and MeMum] use against abortion.

It's all about one group of people making decisions about other people's lives. That's all there is about it. The instant you let
