For the first time this week, I do not have to go place and do thing. I'm taking what I can of my ease. Including taking the time to do my stretchies. Huzzah.
Those are done, so now I move on to the offerings. Pondering what I'm going to doodle today.
I'll think of something.
Onwards to the offerings.
I went and fetched Adorable before I even had my coffee this morrow. As I write, she's currently trying to unriddle the Wacom screen tablet. Task one of four:
And because only one of us can fart around on my compy at a time, I'm doing my offerings from the Lappy. Yay.
I shall do
Read more »I have parcels to pick up, Adorable to fetch, and an interesting day ahead because unriddling whatever the fuck is going on with my software and hardware.
Adorable has tradies coming, so juggling the minutes promises to be some degree of fun.
I'm going to finish this blog entry, don some clothings, and then launch to get the stuff and then get Adorable.
Offerings when and if I can manage to do them. Maybe even including Patreon.
The Tradies turned into
Read more »The writing group didn't have much to discuss this week. I am wrangling a technofix sesh with Adorable, and given my messed up tech situation, I'm hoping I can bring her up to me rather than hauling my tech down to her.
Today, I shall attempt to focus on my offerings and then attempt to gain a logical bedtime.
Attempt.
And I shall see what the PLN is for tomorrow. Depending entirely on what Adorable opts for. I have all day for

My dream come true! Except...
It doesn't like working with my OS (:
We have to find the proper drivers to make it behave like it would if I was running a Windoze machine or a Mac. Which probably means that I need to wait for a far more experienced grackle to
Read more »It was a VERY wet parkrun, this week. I spent a majority of my volunteer time holding up my Bunnings Brolly for all the people coming in with their tokens. Yes folks, I signed myself up for token sorting.
I want to get my exercise next week, but if they need folks to help, I shall see what I can do.
In other news, I have a new toy to play with. So I'll be messing around with that at a later
Read more »For four days, I at least tried to get dressed, go place, and do thing. For one of them, I gave up because feeling awful. Even on that day, I got as far as getting dressed before crawling back to bed.
Tomorrow, I have to get dressed, go place, and do thing. Again. But today? I am taking it easy. Well. Relatively easy.
I still have no idea what to put into my rant for this week. I'm feeling weary so I
Read more »I have a physio appointment today, so my priority is getting things organised (tm) before it's time to skedaddle to that.
I have chapters to read and record, the usual offerings, and maybe catching up with Weird Writer Wednesday.
At least I've made a start on the recordings.
Let's see how far I can go.
Read more »Good sleep and lots of hydration helped me shake off the lurgi nonsense. So today is going to include shopping as well as my general offerings.
I'm trying to branch out, get my works seen - or heard - by other audiences. It took me a while, but I've found some arenas that might welcome my short stories and I'm trying them out one by one. I might dig up one of the older ones I'm proud of for a scifi podcast
Read more »I started this morning with trip-hammer sneezing and an asthma attack that the preventer is only just now dealing with. Then I had to confirm that a chair in our house really had to be thrown out because it had mould.
It did, and it did have to be thrown out. I enlisted Mayhem for help, had to clear a path [it's a big chair], and bent my thumbnail backwards in the process. Ow.
And I have PLNs to go shopping today.
Read more »I have my compy back at last and now I can focus on the offerings. The backup reads went well and I got props for a "female gaze" moment in one of the reserve stories I had for the event.
Now that the compy is back in place, I have to defend my keyboard from the cats. Because removal and restoration stirred up my desk debris.
This is only slowing me down. I'll be getting on to the offerings shortly. Of the
Read more »I was going to take a leisurely morning and tune into AMothintheArchive's story-reading stream, do my wrist stretchies, and see if I could actually unriddle the workings of Zhrythm at last.
Then I tried to start my main compy and got an embuggerance.
So my plans to have an early night and run a game are shattered. My plans to make my offerings and tool around with things are also in shards. Now I have to get dressed, go place, and do
Read more »I don't have to get up early tomorrow, so I have time to bake. Yay. With all good fortune, I should have bread and be able to face tomorrow.
Beloved and I still haven't found the end of Book 5.
Whilst I wait for bread milestones, I am going to get brave and fling a thing at someone. And fiddle around with Zrhythm to see if I can make it go.
I can do this. I have the technology. I can at
Read more »There's a lot of emotional effort in sending a book off on a pitch. Not limited to the sheer anxiety surrounding sending it off. But I've got to throw it out there if I want someone to pick it up.
And I do want someone to pick it up.
This is the one thing I'm good at, and I should get paid to do it.
I'll get on with the offerings first. Then I try to get brave.
Wish me luck.
Read more »I don't have to go place and do thing, today.
Which means that I might have a chance to fool around with a thing. But it's more likely that I'll be spending some selfish time on entertainment.
Procrastination is my copilot.
And it really shouldn't be.
I should re-pitch Adapting and figure out what I'm doing next. By the time Adapting is ghosted by PS Literary, Clockwork Souls should be out of slush pile purgatory. I can flick Clockwork Souls at the
