I'm working on Map 16 with some genuine ideas of what the hell I'm doing. My aim is to get a chapter summarised, a week tagged, and some jiggery-pokery done for the dungeon.
I also would dearly love to get another chapter done. Keep ahead of the curve.
We get paid tomorrow. Huzzah. Which means we can breathe a little bit easier until next paycheque.
Tale Foundry's doing the backup readings right now, so my story will be happening whenever I can wrangle the minutes.
I just woke up and I'm ready to write!
I kid, I kid.
Of course, I woke up much earlier. Four thirty in the morning to walk in a park with friendos, then brunch.
We did a spot of shopping and now I have all the essentials necessary so that I can have coffee for the month.
Just the important stuff.
Next week, we're all off to the beach on Sunday, so don't expect a lot out of me then.
Onwards to

In my feed this morning, people using AI's to write things are flooding publishers with AI-generated horseshit. People creating garbage product with minimal possible effort and maximum possible profit in mind.
Which means that my efforts to prepare for publishers might yet be moot.
Fucking idiots not wanting to put in the effort... grumble grumble bitch and whine.
Sigh.
Anyway. Considering how slow I am at the summarising,

And since we're there, we may also be doing some other helpful things. Which may take some time.
So if the story happens today, it shall be happening later. If not, there will

I have stuff getting in the way of other stuff I need to do so wish me luck on that one. I know better than to ask questions with painful answers, so I am just hoping for the best and ready to roll with the worst.
And every time I think about getting the anthology out, I have to fight a

Well. That's what an alien might think.
It's the day that the Whitefellas ruined everything for all the Blackfellas already living here. Or it's the day in which the Gallant and Brave Captain Cook Discovered our wide brown land for the Glory of Britannia. OR it's the day when communication began between an empire and a stone-age civilisation and things

The bit of metal that a nosepiece fits into? Uncomfortable as all shit.
So after I'm done with this, I don clothing and seek the world outside my hermit cave house.
When I get back, that's when the content will flow.
I have a new tactic that

So my PLN now is to do a bit of shopping with my time. I need to get vegemite and cat food.
After I get back and stream, I think I'll focus my energies on footnote checking and at least one chapter summary.
Once the anthology is fully edited, I can get it out on the interwebs for your reading pleasure.
Once the novel

I have the Catio to tidy, and a literal pile of refuse to reject or recycle but otherwise get out of the house, and more stuff to get on with.
I've almost finished the basic floor plan of the dungeon I'm working on, and my next problem is

There's still a lot of chapters, but I should be quicker at it all henceforth. The filtering is another pain in the butt since my compy tends to lag by the time I get there.
Let's see how quickly I can get that accomplished. All the

When I got home, Beloved needed cuddles. And that's why I'm returning to my nonsense this afternoon.
I owe my readers some twofers and I owe my Twitch viewers a read in lieu of Fic o' the Week. And I should get back to D&D Prep, fic tagging, and

Now that morning has broken, and the internet is back, I shall be streaming once all of my nonsense is organised.
As for PLNs for the day? I might actually do a cans run since I'm adequately rested and the Foundry isn't doing any reading. Any extra

There's another after TEN years, and I'm currently like haha good joke there mate.
We will be able to do Crimbolio shopping when we have money again, this coming Tuesday. THAT is when I shall go out into the wilderness and attempt to return with something cool for everyone I love.
With a very limited budget.

So I am scrombling to make sure I have all the tokens. Which means that I can go on and start drawing the next level so this whole thing can maybe go faster.
Whee.

So after I'm done prepping for the stream, I shall be sending out the "soon to now" notice.
