PLNs

The year is grinding to a close and I still don't know what I'm doing with myself. Everything is, as always, sideways. But at least I'm having fun with the fic/drawing exchange with Mr. Crowbar.

Come January, I enter another year of attempting to finish off ADT. Maybe this will be the one that does it.

The count of remaining chapters dwindles ever downwards. Unless catastrophe, I should be able to get it down and thereby start to get it out.

Speaking of that, I shall reserve time to create the query letters for the five books I'm pitching, finessing them with help from my friends online. Light a fire under my arse.

And pitch, pitch, pitch, pitch, pitch.

Something's got to appeal to someone somewhere.

I'm hanging out with my Archive friends and when they have to go, I shall go annoy my Promptcast friends.

And somewhere in the middle of all that, I'm coming up with a story for today.

TOMORROW, I have to go shopping, so I must extend an invitation to the spawn to go spend their JB HiFi cards.

But today, I can last a bit of a while, so I will get on with today's offerings and trundle off later.

AND there's

Beloved has an artisinal, bespoke phone case for my new phone. She designed and printed it herself. My next challenge is figuring out how to use it in navigation mode because - owing to a misunderstanding - new phone is big and case will make it bigger.

I did politely request a new phone stand for my car. The current jiggery-pokery may not hold. Which promises to be a can of arseholes for yours truly.

I'll find a way to cope. Somehow.

Alongside braving up to make a query letter for B'Nar I know darn well that the fam needs stuff and things.

And here I was hoping to have moneys to spare for once.

Sigh.

I have to wait for the right time so that my flight path is efficient so... in the time I have to spare, I am doing the things for the day.

I'm not brave yet, but I am working on it.

I am getting two firkin platters of eggs this time. It seems we run out every other day. I'm kind'a sick of going. And because we are close to Crimbo, I'll stock up on a few other things.

Once the stream shenanigans are done with, of course.

I shall attempt to get the story done soon. Distraction has me in its grip, alas.

My knotted shoulder has moved up to a knotted neck. Warmth and Deep Heat aren't doing much and I

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

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.

I have now had my blood taken. I could have just waltzed in there at any time and done that thing. No need for appointments or anything. They only do that for the legally important tests.

The more you know, etc.

The backup reads are about to launch and I needed the machine.

Nonsense as it happens.

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.

The Archive's about to start reading to each other. I've somehow managed to get the video out this morning, and I hope to go nowhere and do nothing, today.

I want to go nowhere and do nothing.

My plans for the same yesterday were dashed by MeMum's compy having a cookie overload. And complicated by confusion with the instructions. So I had to haul my bum out there and sort things out.

I finally have a solution to Mum misplacing her tech

We get income today. Huzzah. A weight off my shoulders, at least until I need to go shopping again.

Life's getting expensive.

I'm recording and arranging the next video, today. Possibly fiddling with a co-op project. And of course reviewing some fellow writers' microfictions so that I'm eligible to be read on stream.

And treating my ankle.

I want to play some games today. And tomorrow. I'll see what the assorted distractions allow me to do.

Onwards to the imaginings.

I just finished writing chapter 570 of A Devil's Tale, so that means five more chapters to record for Adorable. Or maybe the eventual professional voice recording person. Whoever that may be.

I have a video to share, a story to write, some memetic nonse to indulge in... and I might even pull the finger out and arrange for the blood test that's been pending for like... a month.

Procrastination is strong when you don't want the local vampires sticking you with

Yesterday, I had a PLN to take the afternoon off. Then I was called upon to help a writer in the group trim their story down from nearly one thousand words. For a reminder, the upper limit is three hundred and fifty words.

Then I got wrapped up in a collab idea.

And just when I was actually nearly finished with the day's tale, Mayhem needed an emergency shopping run. Sigh.

I'm HOPING to have an afternoon off today. And maybe tomorrow.

I gotta think up something to say this week. I gotta hit Kdenlive with a hammer. I gotta write a story and I gotta stay aware enough to catch Mayhem's Get-Me-Home message because I am totally daft at paying attention to that flavour of thing.

I'm trying something, and I shall see if it works.

I need to get more supplies, but I also need to wait for payday because all kinds of expensive shit has happened. Not-yay.

BUT at least I
