Thursday, Promptcast and Other PLNs

I launched today with the aim to get the Promptcast entry done. And that was about all I did until ten AM. And I have bread on, huzzah huzzah.

Good news: I got the Promptcast thing done and the editing is in progress.

Bad news: Everything you expect of me is therefore delayed.

I don't know when I'll be doing the audio recordings, but they're low priority. Higher priority is at least a couple of paragraphs in ADT.

Got to teach myself to get on the laptop after I wake up and put some words in. If I'm going to be conscious at fuckoff in the morning, I might as well be doing something that could earn me moneys.

And then I do the stretches and stuff to make sure my legs firkin work.

I'll get back to what passes for normal. Eventually.

Wednesday, Weekly Thing, Physio, and Patterns

I have Physio halfway through the day. I did have a 1AM activity period, so there's less work that needs must be done there at the minimum.

I'm going to make an attempt at the Promptcast thing in one day. Wish me the very best of luck.

...and yes, I am dawdling on photobashing the cover for Not With a Bang thank you for noticing.

I'll get to it.

I want to get to it.

It's just that it feels like a

Saturday, Some Shenanigans

Moderated for the Promptcast's author interviews, got half a chapter reviewed by Cryptid Roots in Twitch.

Allegedly settling down to get on with today's agenda. With the usual chatting with my peeps on Discord.

Tomorrow is Mother's Day, so I'm doing some stuff for MeMum and the resulting daily tale will be later than what passes for normal. If it's presented at all.

Travel and stuff tends to drain me, so we shall see what we shall see when the day happens.

Thursday, Just Breathe

The story for the Promptcast is almost done. It just needs the Izzy Pass and a little spit shine.

I have five chapters remaining to write for ADT and I'm roughly one quarter in on the next one. I am excited to get it all the way done. So my ankle-icing breaks are devoted to adding more to the next chapter.

I have a very few days' breathing space before next payday and can only hope that no more disasters come along

Tuesday, Patreon, Promptcast and PLNs

I have barely made a start with the Promptcast story for this week, and then only because the starting sentence is part of the prompt. I have Patrons to gift things to, and only a few little things to gift.

Including last week's Promptcast entry. That might have to be the way of things going forward. Given how long it takes me to do a thing for the Promptcast.

I somehow managed to fuck up both my shoulders this morning. I have

Friday, Rest Day?

I can hope that I will have enough of my shit together to get the story out today and have enough time to just mess around and have some chill time.

Maybe.

But first, I must focus. Which is always an issue when chatting with other writers.

Why chat with other writers?

I need socialisation. It's that simple. I need to talk shop with like-minded gremlins and my writers' groups fit that bill.

Working on today's tale.

Thursday, Continuing the Nonse

I owe my Patrons a couple of things, so I shall get on with posting those before I settle down and get on with today's tale.

Also in my agenda - writing the thing for the Archive. But that has extra time to percolate, so my Patrons are likely to see it after the weekend.

And that's okay.

Sometimes, things take time.

I got a solid start on the next chapter of ADT, and debatably have PLNs to stick in an extended

Wednesday, Write-in, Rant, and Stuff

My GP is worried about too much blood in my blood, so I'm seeing a haemotologist at a much later day. Fun times ahead for this bean. Including more visits to the vampires.

Yay.

I have a patch of story to share on my weekly blog, a story to write for today, and I'm working on the next entry for the Archive. The first version of which was so undynamic I rewrote the whole dang thing. And I'm rewriting it a third

Saturday, Chilling Out PLNs

I know what the prompt is for the Archive and, after I get the tale of the day done, I'll have a go at writing that lot. Depending on how long I can withstand the knowledge of the blank document awaiting some fiction.

I now know how to acquire more heel inserts for my spurs! Yay. The knowledge shall be passed along to my Physio because others may be suffering for the want of them. But I have my replacements and a

Friday, Duties and Dallying

MeMum now has a new phone because her old one was getting decrepit. The battery was going bad. I've done what I can to make it adjusted to her needs, but there's an issue with the alarm. I might need to go back, fiddle around, and teach her how to turn her alarm off.

Hopefully, getting her to read the screens will solve it.

I have reviews to write for the Archive, a story to write for the Temple of Notes, and

Monday, Backups, Physio, and Shopping

My physio appointment has moved up to today so I'm using the opportunity to get a few things whilst I can. Including eggs, because the fam is firkin ravenous for them.

I has moneys, so shopping is less of a concern. So is paying for my physio.

I can commence the regular bill cycle very soon, but not the irregular bills because my savings are a teeny bit shot to shit.

The big things have to wait a little while. Next payday,

Saturday, Moving Slowly Onwards

So far, I have my Coinjar recaptured. I'm mid-process on re-invigorating my Binance. Then I untangle my wallet, and moneys can commence to flow.

I have some reserves in the Coinjar that I pln to transfer on Monday. So it looks a little more wage like. I'm calling it "Author dividends" since it is the fruit of my literary labors.

One unfuckening at a time.

I shall get things in gear all whilst waiting for the turnaround dates, or whatever the fuck

Tuesday, Patreon and Pitch Done

Five books sent away yesterday. Hooray. I have one promising to get back to me in two weeks. I have a bunch of interesting things to share with my patrons, a story to write, and maybe a game to play.

To that goal, I am turning on the binaural beats and locking in.

I need time to relax because I am holding off panic attacks from several different directions. One: Just submitted five books for rejections. Two: Insufficient funds.

So yeah. It's

Sunday, Streaming Mod and STRESS

We're running a smidge dry. Existing on supplies and hoping that the next week comes through to apply relief to the budget zone.

In the meantime, I have readied all of my Query Letters and found Agents who might like them.

Tomorrow, I dial up my pitch kits and MASS PITCH.

With luck, I might get a bite.

All of them are getting five bites, though I may give more with the ones that haven't been shipped around as much as Adapting

Wednesday, Rant Due and Other Things

Hocus Pocus, I need to focus.

I'm helping a mentee edit for Prompt, I have physio, I have the rant to drop off and the daily tale to tell.

I'll get it all done in the end, but whether I have time for myself that's the rub. I need some me-time.

Best way to get that is to hurry up and do the things. So I'm trying to juggle my time and manage it well, but... distractions, ankle, talking to my mentee.
