PLN

Also day 2 of attempting to Art every day.

I went ahead and got myself some free animation programs for my iPad and... eeesh.

The free programs always have a "pay for features you need" aspect and it's getting on my niblets because not a lot of cash flow on my end of the chain. I get it. Animation is hard, I get it.

What's so wrong about making animation just a little smidge easier for noobs like me? Please inform me of the stuff behind the logic here. Is it possible to make an animation program for people who've never animated before? If not, why?

Meh.

Anyway, the animatic program I got is impossible to sync to sound and the animation program with importable sound is frame-by-frame and will involve a LOT of copy-pasting on my behalf.

At this point, it's going to be easier for me to just draw the scenes in my head and then export them into Adobe Animate like I have been for SESP.

Which means I should get on with finishing SESP first. Whelp. I've been streaming progress on projects so far, so it seems like method.

Today's PLN is getting the family to gather up a singular bag of rubbish from around the household. Powers know there's enough rubbish lying around. My other task for the day is getting a minimum of one load of dishwashing done.

That's the PLN. Let's see if I win.

Yesterday, since we spent most of the day on the road, I wound up VERY tired and just... slept... when I got home. Just... slump. Snore. Done until the wee small hours this very AM.

Useful for streaming, but not much else. But I did get the next five stories recorded so there is that. Even if nobody comes to watch, streaming keeps me honest.

When I'm ahead of my podcast buffer zone, I shall have to work on SESP so I

I need to make a list. Checking it twice is not extremely mandatory, but you never know with these things.

Laying in pre-yule supplies during the last days before yule is ALWAYS some degree of fun. I am scarred for life from that one shopping trip where EVERY SINGLE SHOP was playing EVERY SINGLE VERSION EVER of The Little Drummer Boy.

When I die, I'm skipping Hell. I've already been there.

Anyway, most of the family wants money, and part of my

Five seconds after I packed up my paints and put all my mini-painting shit away... Mayhem announced that he wanted to learn mini painting. We've gone the Cheapshit Route(tm) for practice dudes and bought a bunch of plastic army dudes.

We shall be painting them in the early morning so I don't have coffee-shakes(tm).

...speaking of coffee shakes, I should go get my meds and caffeine.

I should also get a rattle on with my writing. It's half-past nine. I
