I shall be streaming soon, and the usual post-stream nap nonsense shall also be happening.
For the rest of the day, I'll probably be noodling about with A Devil's Tale. Assuming that I won't be able to get help sorting out the sullage pipe situation.
Tomorrow, or the day after? We should have the moneys to go get the cats more food.
I have few other plns than that.
...but I somehow also need to PLN for Crimbolio.
halp
I have Streamlabs. What I don't have is any idea how to tweak it do do what I want. Some educational videos are in order, methinks.
I shall continue with set dressing and fic tagging, but I shall learn how to do ONE thing with Streamlabs today. It may not be a thing I want, but I shall be learning.
Turns out, I can only use one profile in Streamlabs, so maybe learning IF I can use another profile might be the
Read more »Today, one of my primary goals is working on my Twitch channel. Not just for my morning Instants, but also for the other stuff that's behind the curtain.
Working on my novel, tagging fics, prepping the pre-publishing nonsense, and the dungeon building for the upcoming second part of the campaign I'm running.
That's a lot of my day, all things considered.
I should also be working on sound bites and gimmicks for people to play with when I do stream. I might

And there's Game Night tonight, which means I have an early sleep planned in the afternoon.
Looks like the game stream will be Minecraft. It might not. Time, as always, will tell.
Adding to my frustrations with TaleSpire is the fact that NOW they add in water blocks. So now one

So I shall publish this and then catch up on some sleeps before the story goes out.
Mum's got the ball rolling with a new floor, and set up a contingency plan because mortality is a thing. Yay I guess.
I have a story done, it just won't be posted for a while, and Beloved wants to
Read more »Today's the day of catio cleaning, starter feeding, and perhaps some extra home unfucking on the side.
Mum's got the go-ahead to fix her house, and that means my weekend is potentially booked to help her with her stuff.
Fun times ahead. Whee.
Until bulletins to the contrary, I shall carry on with the routine as previously outlined. Fingers crossed, but if Game Night doesn't happen, you know why.
I panicked and forgot it was Friday, today. Rushed to prepare for the
Read more »I have to stop wanting to do more things. In the space of an early wakening, I almost volunteered myself for: doing audiobooks, making animations, creating some variety of serial entertainment for YouTube, and maybe being involved with the filming of A Devil's Tale.
Fortunately, Beloved is 90% of my self-restraint.
I kept to reading her some chapters and leaving it there.
I must focus on finishing some projects before beginning others. Making more work to do is just going to make

Soon to be supplanted with very different (expensive?) kibbles that are better for her teeth. Not looking forward to finding those, to be honest.
But I also want to be a good cat parental, so I gotta do the thing.
I also have Patreon posts to create, a Tale Foundry entry to concoct, and all the other things I

Which is going to cost us three figures.
Yay.
Since it's also Long Monday and I have the usefulness capacity of meringue umbrella, Beloved will be doing the morning stuff whilst I catch up on a little sleep.
I will likely be doing the afternoon stuff because I will be
Read more »The epic saga of the Sound System is done! With the purchase of a new amp, and some other incidental accessories, we have a working record player! Yay!
We also have a working casette player, but all my old tapes may have become warped since the last time I put them down. Sigh.
At least vinyl firkin lasts.
Tale Foundry is on and I have already written and posted the story for the next week, so it's no shocker that everyone knows
Read more »Tale Foundry has delayed to another day, so I'm filling in time until Stream O'Clock. Which means I might have time to resume some of my bullshit getting the entry done before the prompt is announced.
None of the folks who can share a game are able to play with me, so I shall be streaming more of the Cat Game. Yay.
The usual stuff will continue after I have a look at the poll on Tale Foundry's Patreon. The good news
Read more »Beloved was out later than I was awake, last night. Visits to relatives post-funeral, sorting things out, I will hear about it when she wakes up.
Today's her day at home so we may get some stuff done in house. Which will include the usual Catio cleanse. I shall attempt to get a dishwash underway as well.
I am attempting a day without coffee, since the extra cuppa pre-game didn't do very much for me. I'll see how far that goes.
So
Read more »I'm running out of stuff to share because I am devoting my time to other things.
The other things:
Each of these takes more effort than you might think. Lots of mental effort, reading, and in some cases, jiggery-pokery.
At some point between those tasks, I shall be booking Jolie in for her
Read more »Beloved and I have a mutual way to monitor our spending, so that's a step on the long road towards fiscal stability.
My other steps are taking longer.
Like - getting books ready for publishers. And making my firkin APP ready for shipping out to the app stores. And individuating chapters for Mum's ease of access and thereby editorial input.
Which will be attacked in fits and bits at a little at a time. My PLN goes:
I have made the video to my satisfaction, hooray. Now I need to get that onto a thumb drive. And the music onto a different thumb drive. Because technical nonsense.
And then chase down a little something-something for the ceremony. We're telling everyone on the day what that is. No spoilers.
Thumb drives still wig me out a little bit. In this era of clouds and remembering disk drives, it's still ridiculous that you can store a novel or three on something
