PLNs

A 477-post collection

Wednesday, Wordpress and other things

I'm going to add a completion counter to the fanficcy variant of A Devil's Tale that I'm posting today. Needs to happen.

So I can have rants or samples ready for the next one after I run out of fic to post. So my readers know how much remains. So anyone coming in knows exactly how far I'll take an idea before a novel takes over.

So I can be fair to the peeps following my silly little story.

And just maybe drum up potential business for the professional version. Coming out as soon as I can prep it for publishers.

I hope to get at least one more chapter summarised today. Beyond that... I really have the DunWannas.

Thursday, Going Forward

I didn't do anything productive, yesterday. I wound up spending most of my waking hours playing Minecraft and watching YouTube.

Fun.

I got a bit of gastro interference in my PLNs to snuggle cuddly with my Beloved, but I should hope I am much better after a long rest.

I shall at least try to accomplish some behind-the-curtain stuff today. According to my capabilities of course.

I am also looking forward to Game Night with Friendo Awesome and the rainbow crew. Fingers

Tuesday, Grand Night Out

My Beloved, KIABIL, a whole passel of rainbow-coded people, and my good self are going out to catch a live performance of Hamilton.

Which means I really need to focus on my offerings today or y'all will be left short.

I shall be taking public transit because FUCK trying to find a parking space in Brisbane, these days. But also because public transit, I have a fine opportunity to work on the ever-growing WIP known as A Devil's Tale.

I'm in the

Monday, Tale Foundry Reads

The reads are going on as I write this. Tomorrow, my Patreon peeps get a twofer on the $5 tier. Because there was the prompt we voted for, and then our host sprang a trick prompt on us because April Fool.

I have NO idea what I'm doing on April 1 this year. Probably a pun storm. I dunno.

Most of my internet prank ideas involve too much effort on my part.

Best to not.

I shall focus on the offering, for

Friday, Further PLNs

Tonight, Friendo Awesome is staying over because helping her fam and distance issues. So tomorrow will be "interesting" when we all take off for the parkrun.

What's also "interesting" today is the fact that I wrote a whole chapter of A Devil's Tale before I got out of bed.

Expect whingeing about borked wrists tomorrow.

I've already cleaned out the catio, and will shortly commence feeding the starters and making The Bikkie.

After that, I get on with the other stuff. Since

The behind-the-curtain activities are:

It's already gone ten in the morning so let's get on with that.

Friday, Theoretical Organisation

I have cleaned the Catio and commenced making The Bikkie as of writing these words.

I did not get around to set dressing, yesterday. I spent all my minutes on making certain all the tunnels were where they were meant to be. I may yet record some Dumb DM tips on the next map. We shall see if I have the knack down.

Or I might do the next map. It seems like it might be easier.

Level 16B is on a

Friday, Unfuckening++

So. Friendo Awesome broke a tooth, and that needs some care and attention. She will be far from home when the attention is done, so we're loaning the spare bedroom to her until the morrow. It might make Parkrun interesting, but it's making today interesting because... scrattle all over the house.

I have to unscrattle the house today.

After I finish this portion of my output, I'll begin the shenanigans for The Bikkie and get on with doing the daily tale.

Thursday, Progress Again

We had a wonderful day, disconnected from most of the interwebs but not technology. I needed a nap in the middle of it. We didn't get around to buying any bling, which might be a good thing.

Chapter count: Currently working on chapter 234.

Six more chapters and I'll be starting a new GoogDoc on the thing.

I can only HOPE it's going to stop at a trilogy at this point. The story ends when it wants to end, and I am

Sunday, Moving Forward

I am pretty sure I didn't make The Bikkie on Friday. I'll have to get on with that today.

I have finally managed to create Map 15 for the continuing adventure, and I've made significant progress for the first half of Map 16. Which is two maps instead of just one. I had to do some jiggery-pokery just to get it to the right scale.

Fingers crossed that I don't gain any more ulcers about it.

Tuesday, Patreon and a Rough Night

Beloved came home in the wee small hours, and I had some aggressively intermittent sleep until like 7AM. By then, the heat was already into the day and I couldn't therefore get the catio cleaned up early.

Blargh.

Fingers crossed, this afternoon will be cool enough to allow me to do that.

If not, tomorrow morning will be the next bet.

Onwards to the Patreon posting and the story of the day.

Let's do this.

Friday, On Point for a Change

I have cleaned the catio before I sat down to write. I am keeping my temptation to play Dyson Sphere Program at bay until I have at least done the mandatory output.

Last time I tried fixing a map, the app crashed. I try again today.

I also aim to feed my starters, summarise a chapter, and tag a week of fic.

There will be Bikkie.

Tomorrow promises to be interesting, as the morning is full of Parkrun and the evening is

Thursday, Redlining it

Beloved binged chapters right up to The Kiss(tm). Which means that there's VERY FEW chapters between where she's up to and where I'm writing.

So I really should hustle some more chapters.

BUT I also have to fix a dungeon map, tag a week for the app, summarise a chapter for the pitmad. And find a moment for myself to chill and enjoy stuff.

I'm feeling a little pressed right now.

But I know Beloved understands me and will ease off

Tuesday, Patreon and PLN

I have written and posted my entry for the Tale Foundry this week. I actually wrote it this morning.

I have commenced the chapter in which my main protagonists of A Devil's Tale finally lock lips. This is something I've been anticipating for some time.

I can only hope I do it all justice.

Onwards to my PLNs today is to post the Patreon stuff, correct some errors in a dungeon map, try to get the tagging and summarising done, and then

Monday, Ongoing PLNs

I have to go fix a dungeon map because what I believed to be a rendering error was not quite the rendering error I thought it was. Fun times ahead there. But there is the Wall Tool and it will do what I want it to. Draw a firkin wall where I wanted a wall all along.

Sigh.

I shall get on with today's tale, do the Tale Foundry reads and then get on with fixing the issues I gave myself. As
